Dropped off 60 million worth of data yesterday, did a bit of platinum mining and then headed back out again.A spot of core mining in a system adjacent to the planetary nebula NGC 6842.
It's taken a lot of planning to get here and take this picture. One of my objectives for the trip.
I'm closing in on you on INARA rank. You're at 3254 and I'm now at 3499.
Very cool!Following my crude pumpkin drawing I had one of those lightbulb moments.

Off to a good start this morning. How about a water world with rings in the second system I jumped into this morning?

I gotta grind Inara rank now!!!
This is a chill out expedition for me, I've not been 'working' at much except Exobilogy rank.
I'm already Elite V for trade, but I should make 40 million+ selling off the minerals back in the bubble.
This lunch break was express exobiology with the Silver Angel, my iCourier. I'm usually starting wars and elections, and winning elections with this ship. 49.52ly unlanded jump range and 850m/s boost for obtaining distance for genetic diversity at pace. It could do with a bit more ground clearance, as sometimes the SRV won't fit under it. A pleasing change from the DBX.
Some gratuitous shots from my latest hunt for resources:
And I had my dashboard reupholstered and a given a new trimline. I think it looks rather calming. I'm not married to it mind you, so things could change:

Looks like I landed in Nevada.
Very nice shots there!Some gratuitous shots from my latest hunt for resources:

More anomalies.
That last one is new desktop material.
That DBX silhouette is special

On the way back to the carrier to sell off data and two jumps out there's a metallic planet worth mapping. Just for kicks and grins, I hit the rings. Turns out it had a few hot spots. All of them quite large.
So much Musgravite, but I could only pay 560k/t for it considering prices back in the bubble. At least Monazite is there.
Yeah. It's a hell of a site though.
That's part of what I'm looking forward to getting a carrier for: Just mining everything in site, throwing it in the hold and then just selling it off or waiting until the price is right to sell. Without a carrier, you're at the mercy of the market at the moment and you have no options.
I certainly do more mining and enjoy it more when I only have to supercruise for a minute to offload the goods. Then you need a small or medium ship to scout ahead to possible selling locations to verify the price is still as expected before calling in the carrier to sell. I usually offload with a Python to avoid damaging the offer price too much.
Hmm.
I tend to stock up and keep an eye on the markets. When the price is right - and the timing - I'll infest a system with my presence, load the cutter up (multiple times maybe) then meet the demand
It's called corporate greed and it keeps O'Flaherty Industries afloat - I pay off governments who welcome the kickbacks and mess with public taxes under the fictional premise it will promote growth.
^ My face when doing this.

If the price is bad, I will wait for better prices. But I'd still scout ahead in the DBX to check the price before jumping the carrier there to sell. I usually go back and forth in the Python while doing something else, so it doesn't matter if it takes a while. Turning up with a Cutter load seems to crash the price too much - it's usually going to be over 10% of demand. The price dips a bit even in the Python supplying under 10% of demand.Hmm.
