Protip - don't fly around in a planetary ring system at night.

Just lost about ~450k credits in bounties after 20 or 30 minutes of pirate hunting due to an accidental collision with a nearly pitch-black rock. Flying around in a veritable minefield with next to no visibility is a bad idea, as it turns out.
 
Hah, yeah. Even mining is a bit tense when your patch of the rings drifts into the planet's shadow. (By the way, full kudos to the devs - even if you jump into a lit side of the rings, they turn and you will eventually move into the shadow and out of it, with the gas giant you're orbiting being correctly lit too...)

Ship lights don't help much, they have a very short range. Def. not long enough for when you're flying at high speed.
