"Getting Started" kinda unclear about how to buy ship

[globalworming]

I am currently going through https://docs.spacetraders.io/quickstart/purchase-ship

it states

Look for a waypoint with the SHIPYARD trait. [...] Take note of the symbol for the orbital station waypoint that has a shipyard, which you can use to purchase a mining drone.
To view the ships available for purchase at a shipyard, send the following request. You will notice that there is a mining drone available for purchase, which can help you fulfill your starting contract.

so my expectation is

• find all waypoint with shipyards
• find one of type "orbital"
• list ship types
• ship types MUST contain one of type "mining drone"

from what I observed, this isn't necessarily true, sometimes the "mining drone" isn't available in the "orbital" but e.g. "moon"

curl 'https://api.spacetraders.io/v2/systems/X1-RA81/waypoints?traits=SHIPYARD'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGci[...]

[...] "systemSymbol":"X1-RA81", "symbol":"X1-RA81-H59", "type":"MOON", [...]

curl 'https://api.spacetraders.io/v2/systems/X1-RA81/waypoints/X1-RA81-H59/shipyard'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbG[...]

[...] "data":{"symbol":"X1-RA81-H59", "shipTypes":[{"type": "SHIP_SURVEYOR"}, {"type": "SHIP_MINING_DRONE" [...]

is it intended that any of the shipyards may contain the "mining drone", and if yes, could you please update the "getting started" to make that more clear?

Thanks for posting, you are right, the guide needs to be updated with some recent changes to the starting system. Really appreciate you catching this!
