After the latest patch and all the moaning from the usual suspects wanting free Tritium, I decided to check for myself before setting out into the black with my FC
I picked a random Single Tritium hotspot in a common icy belt and hit the centre of it working my way towards the planet.
(Don't expect double or triple hotspots to be better. FDev said in patch 3 that this would be reduced)
90% of the bright scanner rocks has either Tritium in Sub Surface, Surface or normal laser extractions.
I was in the worst ship possible and really testing and out of practice mining, but I could easily mine 200+ an hour.
So for my trip out in the black, the following will be the way I will do it
1. Venture out 500 ly in my Asp and find a nice area.
2. Call in the FC
3. Explore for a 6 days and give 1/2 day over to mine the next jump
It is easy, so what is all the whinging about.
I suppose we will get all the over privileged moaners with one of the following
1. FDev said this and that about FC's and now I can't because they fix a flawed mechanic
2. But I hate mining
3. But I want free fuel and money and everything just because I want it and had it
4. Why should we pay for fuel
5. But I can't load up on cheap Tritium and sell it at a stupid prize and make gazillions like I did before, no fair
6. It is just not fair and I want my mummy.
Here is a tip, if you don't like it, uninstall the game and go and play COD or something else that doesn't require any effort.
Looking forward to my trip out in the black in my FC now
