You can find all the basics of mining from the experts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCJjJJRHA48
There's been NPC miners for a while, or at least NPCs with a special blue laser that shoot at asteroids (and since Beta 2, shoot at asteroids with their normal weapons too) and drop minerals when shot at. Presumably their behaviour will be updated to fully comply with the now-complete mining method.is there any reason to believe therell be NPC miners?

As seen from screenshots, there will be mining lasers.
And im asuming that its a module you can fit on your ship.
So every ship who can fit the module can mine.

When you mine though you have to sing Hi Ho and wear a beard.
From what I understand is that we equip any ship with a mining laser and then start shooting at the rocks

On the 28th of October, you will have the capability to mine them for profit. You will need two items to do this – a mining laser and an extraction module. After scanning for possible profitable content, you will set to work on your ‘claim’ with the laser. This will separate chunks of rock which you can scan, and then use your cargo scoop to secure those most worthwhile. Once it is safely onboard, your extraction module goes to work separating out its valuable contents. There is a big variation between the individual asteroids, even within a metal rich ring or belt, so once you have a good ‘find’ keep mining it until your hold is full!
