Hehe... Also Carcosa as 'Home' for my main, an asteroid base orbiting a lava world, what more could a CMDR ask for?
Alt calls home Enayex, just because it is nicely located, and, of course, an Anarchy

Lightspeed's post was a fairly common type of joke in the forums - "I've got a great spot and I'm not sharing!"
VO's can be found in many Icy rings. You need to go to IDDB.io and look for Icy, Pristine rings near you. Here's how you do it:
From the Elite Dangerous Database's home page, go to "Bodies".
- In "Body Group" select "Ring".
- Under "System Reserve" select "Pristine".
- Under "Ring Type" select "Icy".
- Finally, under Reference System select the system that you're currently in.
EDDB will grind a while, then come up with the nearest icy, pristine rings - the place you want to look to find VO cores.
It looks like this:
| LHS 2552 6 A Ring | LHS 2552 | Icy - Pristine | 1,832 ls | 17.27 ly |
Now there is NO guarantee that there are void opals in the ring; it's just the best place to find them.
If there aren't VO hotspots when you DSS the ring, keep looking. You rarely need to check two or three rings before you find hotspots.
Hope this helps!
VO hotspots are a dime a dozen. I don't even bother bookmarking them unless the system itself is interesting for some reason. Tripple or double painite overlapping hotspots are another matter and if I ever find one it will be mine.
Good comeback ... gave me a laugh, +rep to you
I made an Elite two weeks after ED's launch on the PS4, and though I switched from that device to an Xbox and now a PC. Jameson Memorial has been my home base the entire time. That will all change the day I obtain a carrier. From then on, everywhere including Jameson will simply be a spot to visit. Home is where one hangs their hat, and my hat will be hung permanently on my carrier.
V419 Hydrae, nice hazres where I work to get my combat rank up....btw. that inara stuff you see under my post is outdated...
LHS 538 has been my home for a couple of years now.
Home for me is Rich Gateway, at HIP 10123. It's strategically placed for most of what I do, and it's a Tourist Orbis.
It feels really nice to come home to the sight of green trees and pretty parks after the black of space.
The restaurants are solid quality as well - I can recommend Vincenzo's for Italian; West 35 on the Main Ring just by Galaxy Park. Magnifico!

It's not my home but I did have the chance to take some cargo there a while back. Stopped in at Vincenzo's for Italian and order their fettuccine alfredo, and it's to die for. I really liked the all you want garlic bread. All that and an realitively good wine for cheap. I'll be back again someday.Home for me is Rich Gateway, at HIP 10123.

My "home" base was chosen for (1) its proximity to Shinrarta Dezhra system, my home base is within the bubble but out of the way, (2) its anonymity, the system does not even have a name, just a catalog number, (3) lack of high-tech or tourist stations that might give factions (or aliens) a reason to attack the system and (4) just enough services (materials trader, outfitting, nearby military bases) to be useful. o7
There's no point in having a base. All it does is take longer to go wherever you need to go to do whatever activities you need to do. Now that credits are so easy to earn, the cost of ship transfer is insignificant. All my fleet is randomly dispersed around the galaxy. I just leave them wherever they are when I finish the activity and go on to something else.
I'm a bit of a nomad, i'll be based at one point for a bit then move on. Currently bouncing round the Deciat area engineering, running missions for materials etc. Plan to rank up with the Fed in 2 weeks time while Mrs B is away for the weekend.
I have a pile of mining gear stored in HIP 21991 for the painite hotspot, if I need cash i just nip back in my Krait M2 and swap modules over for a mining set up. Next time I'm on line I plan to build a dedicated Python miner, handily I have a lot of the modules for it already stored

"You talk'in to me?" haha (Taxi Driver for the youngsters). Currently I'm at SHINRARTA. Was at MAIA until a mission I got fro Palin went...I don't actually know. i like the station (JAMESON MEMORIAL) as they have over 23 types ships and all modules. I REALLY want to try RATRAII (COLONIA DREAM) but damn 22 THOUSAND lys! ONE WAY. Did you guys start out over there or did you travel? Mostly want to know IF a way is possible as the map kind'a petters out and you're left to wonder.
Totally and THANK YOU VERY MUCH. In my humble opinion replies like yours should always be ranked first before the "tangents" appear. Again thanks.Lightspeed's post was a fairly common type of joke in the forums - "I've got a great spot and I'm not sharing!"

From the Elite Dangerous Database's home page, go to "Bodies".
Press the 'Find Bodies' button.

- Under "System Reserve" select "Pristine".
- Under "Ring Type" select "Icy".
- Finally, under Reference System select the system that you're currently in.
EDDB will grind a while, then come up with the nearest icy, pristine rings - the place you want to look to find VO cores.
It looks like this:
In this case, the SYSTEM is LHS 2552 - that's the system you input into your NAV page. The system is 17.27Ly away - a decent hop for a miner - the planet you want is #6, and it's its inner ring that you want, if it has multiple rings. The planet is 1832 ls from your arrival point, a very short hop. The ring is Icy and Pristine, which is exactly what you want.
LHS 2552 6 A Ring LHS 2552 Icy - Pristine 1,832 ls 17.27 ly
Now there is NO guarantee that there are void opals in the ring; it's just the best place to find them.
