Even assuming absolutely no change would be made to mission loot drops (or rogue drone alloy drops, or any other drops for that matter), changes which are strongly encouraged (but a matter for another time), the general consensus is that the current way of mineral distribution in the ores, and the way ores are spread in the galaxy are not really all that good at all.
Which there has been the last few patches. Probably to assist Dr. E in detailing how much of an effect mission lewt has on the economy. Ironically the drone mission lewt was hit the worse + orca creation and tbh almost no significant change overall has changed relative to mission lewts.

* asteroids would no longer have a single ore type (some could even have ALL ore types, some could still have just one)
Ya in real life an asteroid can be primarily say ice or iron or nickel... but isnt entirely that. The survey scanners should be able to scan and give you rough ideas of what roids are composed of... but not %ages. So it says Veldspar-Kernite. Could be 99% veld; could be 99% kern.

* ALL possible ores would be available in ALL possible system security ratings
except merx since it has the dangerous cloud deal related;

What this means is yes, you could mine Arkonor in a 1.0 system... but you would only get 1-3 units of Arkonor per deep core stripminer cycle if you used T2 Arkonor mining crystals there, and got none if you tried to use a Stripminer, unless the asteroid would be heavily depleted already, and no chance of getting any at all with a regular deep core miner (let alone a T2 miner).
nah. Chance for a rock to provide ANY ark in 1.0 should be like 1 in 1,000,000 and even the the available amount to be mined would be nearly nothing.

* much larger asteroids, spread across larger distances in the same grid, or even a single large asteroid per grid
Something like a planet's ring system for mining? Or a system wide belt; an asteroid belt much like Asteroid_belt where you warp in and then essentially need to nano around for bookmarks to find spots to mine. Would be AU lengthed; instead of say 30km length. Lots and lots of space between the roids.
