Either I am doing something completely wrong, or I am missing something.
At the start, when you get the mining gear, and insert the modules for it, and it tells you your engines aren’t powerful enough to get close enough to the asteroids and you should go make some more money. If you put the mining tunnelling modules into the engine, the engine then has enough power, but it tells you you can’t use the mining laser. Classic catch 22. If there is no other way to earn money besides mining, how are you supposed to get that to work?
And grinding a pitiful $200/day until you get thousands of dollars is not my idea of fun.
Also, where do I find the "distraction" in the CC?

Firts time you return to your ship you get the mining gear. Together with that you get also 4 basic subunits.
put those into the mining laser in the engine room
then you are all set. fly to the debris field right next to the station in Zone "0" and start mining, easily 100k per day, later way more.
And thanks for pointing that out. I added a bunch of helpful comments into the next update to avoid ppl falling into some grinding trap. Also disabled the gambling in the tutorial phase to make even the misunderstanding impossible.
Gambling is nothing more than a quick way to pass time in the bar as QoL.
