List of Stations; how to find asteroid types

[geewhiz]

New to the game and have been reading through some basic guides and watching some youtube videos.

 

I do not understand how to find the specific station types in a sector. For example, if I want to buy an upgrade can I bring up a list of stations in the sector so I can select them to navigate to? Currently I am just spinning around in my ship trying to select one station at a time to see what they have and hoping there is an easier way.

 

Same thing for asteroids. That NPC that tells you to start mining Titanium but not sure how to find any. Is there some tye of scanner that would help? I also tried to jump to some other sectors but all I see is the fog and not sure how to even get to any asteroids to just try to spot the right type.

No real trick to finding asteroids with specific resources. However, you can tell what stations are in a system you have already visited by mousing over that sector in the map (m key) view. It will tell you exactly what stations there are, how many ships of which factions and the number of asteroids. Sadly, the type of asteroid is missing.
