Thanks Marek. :D:D
Nekora:
Yeah this is Story Mode... haven't checked to see if the others accrue cash when you mine yet.
Each unit of Ore is worth 1 cent. And you can check how much money you've mined at:
http://www.test.minerwars.com/StatsGameMoney.aspx
So, if you've got $1000.00, that means you've mined 100,000 ore.
At the moment, all ores are worth 1 cent... although that will change as they update the game in future patches.

are you just spending hours on the game or do you have a secret?
out of interest... do asteroids made of different materials give more/less each harvest? or am i just wasting my time looking for helium? (im almost sure i seem to get bigger harvest each dig from helium)

No secret... i'm just a mine whore :P lol.
Although, the harvesting drill is pissing me off... and after a while of staring at the rocks you get a headache. They've really got to change the mining implementation... and possible make it so that you can change the view perspective and zoom away from your ship a bit.

Indeed, I can't imagine how some of you guys have spent so much time doing something so repetitive. I spent a decent amount of time messing around with mining/extracting, and still only have a few hundred money to show for it.

Dont get me wrong... it's not pleasant. But it has some sense of achievment... plus, mining for that long let's me know - and potentially the devs - of the games design weaknesses in some ways.

Automated mining bots! I picture something along the lines of EVE. "Target" asteroid. Press Button. Make sammich. Profit.
Edit: When I wrote this I wasn't thinking about the mining lasers on your ship that auto-cycle, but the actual bots that you could launch that would mine and return to you.

Well, this does bring to light a big problem with monotony related to gathering in MMOs. If something isn't done to alleviate the monotony, it resorts in players using macros to gather, which in turn hurts the game's economy.
That being said, I've been wondering what your stance on macroing will be? I assume you have it all chiseled out, as in my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes devs can make [especially post-release] is not taking a solid stance on macroing, exploiting and/or botting.

True... i seriously doubt they would condone players using macro bots/etc to remotely automated mining.
Currently the game has very little a macro script can use to determine what it's doing, what direction it's facing and the like. Twitch based games like this can be fairly hard to implement a reliable macro script for.
But i imagine the dev's have that in mind as they develop the game.

While i like the idea of mineing drones to reduce the repetiveness and free up the player, we dont want to make it too automated, you would end u with players just letting the drones do all the work. Perhaps a pair/set of drones that mine 1/2 as fast as the harvester so that useing drones doesnt mine faster than the harvester but frees up the player to move around a bit?

I'm not sure about the mining drones - it might be alright... but i've read that they are interested in having player owned mining factories at some stage.

I think mining should be means to an end... For example, in EVE Online, you mine to pay for big ships to lose in PVP fighting.

This is supposed to be a pvp game, so I don't see afk/macroing to be that big of a deal. It just makes for an easier target, but mining is repetitive, so I think there should be some way to alleviate it.

Yeah, easy once you know how. Just find a big rock and worm your way back and fort... boring but effective. I did try emptying out a large cavern but oddly enough this was slower.

if they do implement mining drones, they should be big,expensive, about the same speed as harvester(for realistic purposes) and easy to kill. this means that you would have to stay reasonably close to guard it and i would be able to go round destroying people drones if im bored :)
