The scanner shows a cluster as the sum of its rocks, so a reading here means this many rocks of that type. Other ores' rocks can land on the same number — check it in the signal calculator.
One recommendation per ship: easiest handling with enough power for your scan.

Suggestions must overcome charge decay with sustained power, without relying on a temporary active boost. Leave resistance blank to use this rock type's estimated typical resistance (≈36%); enter the scanned value for your rock. Listed active modules must be firing and the recommended gadget applied to reach the boosted limit. These are estimates from game data. Rocks beyond single-head capacity show crewed options only.
