If you were close to Colonia you could have attracted npc attention...
As for the mining... Yeah. It's pretty much borked now
fdev have managed to break it very nicely - not.
What's up with mining?

have you tried a bromellite hotspot?
Hotspots are merely a suggestion in this game, may as well delete them.
I mined 128 tons in a bromellite hotspot in well under an hour yesterday. No idea what problem you're having. This is the second time you've mentioned this - where is the hotspot? Also are you doing core mining for it, or lasers?

I doubt its the Hotspot, the problem probably resides behind the lasers

If its cores he's after I'd have to defer to someone else because I never bother with core mining these days. If he's mining in his Dolphin though it has no small seismic charges, which I think he might have mentioned a couple of (thousand) times so it would be lasers and yeah, no problem with bromellite hotspots here.
Can't comment on laser mining tbh, but cores & sub surface don't correlate to the hotspot, and you usually have better luck finding what your after in an alternative hotspot.
when op said they had trouble i just assumed cores, but maybe they don't have small seismic charges either and we're talking about laser mining here?
OP was, at least one subsequent poster was too. As I said, I'm no cores expert so I don't know what's going on with those.

I reckon (based on my own experience) that core rocks include all types of commodities possible depending on the ring type, but the probability of the hotspot commodity it's named after is the highest percentage of them present, even if still low relatively speaking.
For example, in a Bromellite hotspot the chance of coming across a Bromellite core rock is 60% (I made this up ftr), with the remaining 40% being the other core commodities such as Void Opals.
On top of that though apparently the yields in a hotspot are meant to be higher even for laser mining, so I'm always dropping into a hotspot even if the hotspot is named after a commodity I'm not primarily after. Once you stop expecting 100% of the commodity the hotspot is denominated after, frustration levels drop accordingly.
Agreed, I am not a regular Core miner, I do have a ship set up for cores but very rarely use it, I do however carry a large SCL on my laser miners and deal with any cores I find, I mine what I find and I often find what is not advertised
I would also like small SCL's, It would improve my mining T9's
Mining has been nerfed, due to the recent Bounty Hunting Buff!
