I've decided to take a break from mining while I still want to do more so it doesn't put me off the activity and start feeling like a grind. I will leave trying to beat @Marvin the Martian's platinum laser mining collection rate as a future goal 
I've been selling off the Platinum and Rhodplumsite as prices for these were good, but the Monazite and Serendibite (this one is incidental collection as I was not seeking it) can stay in the Fleet Carrier hold for better prices in the future.
I just made 793 million credits and got promoted to Elite IV in trade
That's plenty of credits for the additional Fleet Carrier services I want to install. So I might do this over the next few days and stock up on some more tritium in preparation for a 6000ly each way Fleet Carrier exploration expedition I'll do sometime in the next 1 to 2 months.
I think it's time I did some pirate massacre mission stacking again and tryg to push up my combat rank a bit. I might finish engineering the FAS I bought a while back and use this.
If some meaningful BGS activity looks useful for my player faction, I will prioritise it. It's been very quite on this front for a long time. All these peace treaties with neighbours means there is nothing to do. Maybe I'll learn how to target a specific system to expand into and try to do that.

I'm one mining run away from Elite III.
Need to honk that system and scan for bio's!

On another note... 2k pages before Crimbo? What are our chances?
1200 pages today. I'll be doing a Codger style fleet carrier exploration and Exobiology tour soon, so maybe a few pages of pictures coming to help get to 2000Need to honk that system and scan for bio's!

Like everything if you set up the question correctly the odds are 50:50.Need to honk that system and scan for bio's!

We either will or won’t make it.
If things look tight you can always post a single image at a time.1200 pages today. I'll be doing a Codger style fleet carrier exploration and Exobiology tour soon, so maybe a few pages of pictures coming to help get to 2000
Pretty good actually......

This is still open...
Still out in the black. Nowt to come back for lol.
U13 damp squib.
Just come across a system undiscovered 41 bodies 6 moons with bios @+4 etc and the others are...400,000ls away, .
Now l scan all ringed planets too, for hotspots, and yup some of them are 400000ls away too....gonner be a long one.

Quote from a dev I found in PC Gamer article:
"As we move towards Update 14, and the Aftermath, we'll be really escalating the Thargoid threat, to the extent commanders have not seen before," said senior producer Samantha Marsh. "I think everyone can see that bad things are coming. But the Aftermath will continue to kick that into higher and higher gear, and we're really excited to see exactly [how] everyone deals with it.
Might be nice to stay out in the black, eh?
===============
Here's the sitch on the PWA, just to clarify some stuff.
When the Pulse Wave Analyzer was introduced, it was part of the Core/Surface/Subsurface mining update, which added these new features to some asteroids. The PWA's only purpose is to reveal which asteroids have one or more of these advanced features. Any rock that has surface deposits, sub-surface deposits, or a core, will light up. The core ones light up brighter. The PWA does nothing for laser mining, it's only for finding asteroids that have advanced features. It does not help you find a particular ore.
This is how it worked for years. During mining's heyday, when I was doing a lot of it to get my carrier, I got very skilled at finding cores with the PWA as it was then.
Now, however, it works a bit differently. Many think it's a bug, and it probably is, but now, when you pulse the PWA, the asteroids glow like they did before -- but with one big difference.
As you approach a glowing asteroid, if it is not a core asteroid, the glow gets dimmer and dimmer until it nearly fades away. But if it's a core asteroid, the glow does not diminish as you approach.
This of course makes it much easier to identify core asteroids, but makes it a bit harder to find sub-surface ones cuz they fade out when you approach.
And that's the current state of the PWA. Maybe they'll "fix" it in a future update. I kinda like it as it is now, though

Question: Is there a way to set the bio scanner to arm automatically upon exiting the SRV? It just gets tiresome having to draw it over and over and over again.
It means that Quain is going to have to go into the black and come back in time for the fireworks. It's in his blood to try and defend humanity, even though success in combat against Thargoids eludes him.Quote from a dev I found in PC Gamer article:

The good news is, I miscounted my recent mining earnings. It's not 793 million, it's 813 million.
The less good news is, I want to add Universal Cartographics, Vista Genomics, Shipyard and Outfitting to my fleet carrier. This will cost 800 million.
It's funny how these things work out.
It's also fortunate that when suspended these services only add 5 million a week to up keep.

Queue Starship Troopers memes...
Kinda of a cool pic (not as cool as Codgers), Ammonia moon with gas giant and main star visible.
I've found 4 today. Still never found an earthlike planet.
I'm on my way back in and mapping as I go. I get paranoid when I get about 50 systems and 15 or 20 biologics.
Been doing lots of space salvage missions, bought my first Asp Explorer upgraded from Cobra mk3.
The more I take my time doing things, the more I love this game.
