This is not a bug, this is how automated assignments work. The command module jobs like XO are usually considered to be lower-priority than ship commands, so when a new ship command opens up (from construction, deaths, etc.) it is likely that an officer assigned to a subcommand job like XO will be reassigned to a ship command role.

One common cause here is if you are building a large number of fighters which do NOT have the "No Officers" checkbox ticked in the class design window. Fighters tend to be built frequently and take your low-ranking officers out of subcommand positions so they can command the fighter - I usually don't let officers command fighters because of this (and because having a LCDR in charge of, like, three guys seems a little silly to me).

What minerals are Maintenance Supply Points made of?

1 MSP = 0.1 duranium + 0.1 gallicite + 0.05 uridium (0.25 total minerals)

Probably from this thread. I don't recommend that thread simply because it's not official and is therefore unsupported, but I've used the mirrors once or twice myself so it's a viable alternative.

Thank you, nuclear!
The important thing is that the resulting installation is reliable.   

Oh, he started a new one! I thought you were reposting the old one. Cheers, will read for sure.

If you want to maximize your potential returns, scan the asteroids with the highest gravity - specifically, from what I've seen, asteroids that don't require LG infrastructure tend to be more likely to have minerals, and if they have minerals, they're more likely to have (very) high concentrations.

Hmm...this is intriguing. Now I'm going to have to do some correlation testing.

Then again, my primary use for asteroids is orbital mining, and that requires small asteroids.

Still, it would be interesting to find an optimizable survey pattern.

Higher mass means the RNG is weighted towards larger deposits, but lower accessibility. Lower mass means the opposite. This is why super-terrestrial worlds tends to have huge deposits but often minimal accessibility, whereas asteroids usually have very high accessibility, but small deposits. Higher mass asteroids will still tend to still have higher accessibilities, but a better chance of a larger deposit.

Systems with younger stars are weighted toward a higher chance of deposits being present.
