1) Does anyone know if all comets contain minerals or if there are some with none.

In my experience most comets, but not all, will contain minerals.
They also seem to be mineral rich compared to asteroids, and even moons.

There are some with none.  Comets run the mineral genearaton code just like every other body; they get a big bonus to the likelihood & accessibility.

There should be a "Hide Comets" button somewhere in one of the tabs of the left-side mini-window of the tatical map.

Well, that sounds like yet another reason not to start in Sol , then.  #:-]

Useless bit of Info: Sol seems to be the only system with a 'Comet #0'  all other systems start at 'Comet #1'
Its normaly known as Wild by the humans.

Should be, but it appears to be missing in action.  I will post a request in the suggestions thread.
