I have to preface this by saying this is mostly a pet peeve than a legitimate feature, however I think this could make the game feel a tad more diverse and vivid. I believe ore should be renamed to iron ore or perhaps just iron. My main reason for this is that over time more and more metallic and mineral resources have been added with unique names and uses, yet the one you see the most of and stays with you perpetually throughout the game now matter what planet or species you play on or as, ore is just generic ore. As for why it should be renamed to iron, it already looks like a chunk of iron ore currently, which would prevent the need for any retexture. Another reason is that the second most frequent use of ore is to be turned in to steel. And to make steel in real life, what do you need? That's right, iron (and a little hit of carbon but it's very minute). Overall though, I feel ore is too generic a name and needs updated to fit the much more specific names of pretty much every other resource.

Ore can be a mixture of multiple minerals, including iron ore (hematite), not neccessarily a specific metal or mineral.
BUT somehow you can be right, the mostly used metal, based on the real world industries, is iron.
