And the almost complete totality has already been scanned, so it means even lower payouts.
My suggestion: if you see planets with Ne or Ar atmospheres with 1 Bio, ignore them!

I tend to ignore anything that has less than four bio's. Rightly or wrongly.
Also, if I can't find all or nearly all or even just a couple fairly quickly when landed, I move on. Again, rightly or wrongly. It's a time thing for me; you can spend ages looking for a bio indicated by the heat map but not easily found. Fungoida, I'm looking at you

The same, I'm only go to a planet with >4 bio signals.
The max amount of bio I came across, is 9 so far.
How many of the nine did you sample?
Rats... next week for U11
No. You're not.

Enough time to search for Fungoida.
Dancing T10s!!
And this one no SLF, DIE~!
And the test ride completed, low on ammo, time to dock.

How's things folks? Been a year since I posted in this thread. Hadn't played Elite since last March, but I've been back for a couple of weeks.
I've been up to chasing goals. Specifically, combat Elite (79% Deadly) and Inara badges. Finally got The Soldier (500 bonds) and closing in on the Miner (2000t).
So I've been spending my time doing CZs in the combat Krait and FDL. Mining in another Krait and ran a bunch of rescues in an incursion system in yet another Krait haha. Still on Horizons, have skipped Odyssey so far.
Good hunting commanders!

Welcome back!
I'm off mining again, taking a break from exobiological grinding. Especially now U11 has been delayed.
Are you not on Inara? Couldn't find you there.
Flying 90kLy to deliver 4 tons of faecal matter when I get a voice message saying my FSD is operating beyond safety limits. I was only doing 56c!
Still plodding out to Crab Nebula/Station X. Not had much opportunity/wherewithal to play thgis week, but got a few hours in this evening.
A tantalising 985 ly (37 jumps!) in this direction - Jellfish Nebula and Beta Site Station:
And 2285 ly in this direction (and apparently too far to plot a route...), Crab Nebula and Station X:
Allegedly. Cant see it. Yet...
I have put another 500 lightyears in since those pics - still can't see it. Yet...
Edit: And now with two different pictures. Instead of the first one twice...

Possibly a White Dwarf in the system they can often cause issues like that. Sirius is notorious for it.
It was in HIP 118062. There is a WD there, but I was about 75kLy from it at the time. I'd only just got 56c from the main star in the system. I may go back to investigate tomorrow. I could have found RAXXLA! Or maybe an Asteroid cluster.

Asteroid clusters generally just give you the warning that you are in Slow Down. In Sirius I have had the FSD out of Safety Limits at around 9kls distance.
I found out that you go to a planet with 7, 8 or 9 Bio signals most of the time 1 or 2 can't be found. Just one very tiny little blue spot on the planet.
The sweet spot seems to be, for me, a planet with 5 or 6 Bio signals. Most of the time there are 3 or 4 stuff to scan directly around 2km of your ship. Bacteria you can find with flying with your ship and when the color of the ground isn't the same as that of the bacteria.
"Ship recalled"
Oh dear. It landed on me. I mean...

Do you mean it chose to land on you instead of picking the only rock on planet bowling ball?"Ship recalled"
Oh dear. It landed on me. I mean...
Oh, you've seen that too? Indeed, and if there's a flat area it'll find a rocky place instead and make it... interesting for egress. Or it fails to land completely and takes off again.
