Call of the wild - A list of pristine metallic rings
- Thread starter Gorrister
- Start date
Back in the day (Frontier) you could land on planets and mine them. Any benefit to metal rich planets is a hoped for future thing, not a current one.
Just for clarification, I don't list Metal Rich rings. In my mining experience it's not worth my time to mine them. This could change over time. Metallic rings are much richer and faster to produce a full hold. Some pristine systems hold both metallic, and metal rich ringed planets, some hold just metal rich.
I found a pristine metallic ring in HIP 13003, which is about 60 Ly from Sothis. The inner ring of HIP 13003 AB4 is metallic, and the outer is metal rich.
Also, the inner rings of AB1 and AB3 are metal rich, and both the inner and outer rings of CD1 are metal rich.
And thank you Gorrister for starting and keeping this page a handy and useful resource!

It's actually easier than it looks.Sothis lies at the end of a long, thin corridor of civilization, over 300 Ly outside the bubble. Out here everything is pristine!
Everything is pristine, but metallic rings aren't that common, IME. Metal rich are ten a penny, but metallic I see only rarely (admittedly I don't always check, I'm nearly 20 kylies out now so nobody's coming this far just to mine) but still.
I shoud be so lucky
I've nearly got to somewhere I can reasonably call the edge now so I can start my circumnavigation. I'm barely out of the starting blocks for this expedition
Ok, so I'm 110% sure this has been asked before, but the search function just swamped me! How come I don't see a Pristine Metallic ring when I get to one of these locations and scan? Should I actually be looking for a different in game name?
I had the exact same problem starting out. After scanning, you need to find the information in two places:
Generally you'll see "Common reserves" where you want to see "Pristine Reserves".
So I took a little sight-seeing tour from, more or less, Sothis, to HIP 16607, where I intend to try out the changes to mining introduced by the latest patch. Along the way I found a few more pristine metallic rings. None of them are especially near to civilization, lying generally 60 to 200 Ly from the closest station.
HIP 9244 3 (See my previous post for a cropped screenshot--I accidentally saved over the larger version)
HR 538 6
HIP 8663 3
HIP 10355 8
HIP 10774 6 (Ringed ammonia world!)
HIP 9434 3,5,6,7 (Screenshot for 3 because I'm lazy)
Whew! I think my work here is done for the time being...

HIP 33368, about 180Ly from Sol. Come well armed though, it's an anarchy system.

Hi.
Actually you need a detailed surface scanner in your equipment to see the ring composition.
To the rest of you guys:
Thank you for your effort. You are the best.
I will update the data as soon as I am back at my PC again.
Hopefully on the weekend.
See you.
Hello.
By using the Spreadsheet you can look up the closest to Sol. Just insert 0,0,0 as coordinates, because Sol got these coordinates.
Regards Gorrister.
