Mining output in different extraction site?

Short answer no. I have tried high, low and just the rings away from res sites and I can't say I have noticed any difference to the amount/type of resource. My only observation is that at the high res sites as soon as I have commodities in my hold I am just constantly attacked by npc's so I end up with very little mining. I guess combat wing men could be the answer to that. For the record I am only averaging about 300k credits per hour wherever I mine.
 
when I tried HIGH RES I was getting 15 fragments, while in low extraction you get around 10 average. Its not the same for each asteroid but I definatley got around 15 in HIGH.

I just saw a post in reddit where a guy is making 1.8M cr/h in his asp after the recent fix of collector drones.

That's quite a difference!

This was in the 1.3 release notes so it might be related.

Exactly why I asked, as I have seen those too.
