If FDev will ever fix this exploit, they should replace that asteroid with a tourist beacon.

This is Pavlov's experiment all over again!
FD is conditioning a response to these bonanzas so everyone will be "satisfied" with mining for LTDs and "forget" about the fact that it's grind.
Have to hand it to them, it's working to some extent as "emergent game play", but it reveals the game limits once again (scan/shoot/scoop/fly/fetch/carry/drive).

In a nutshell, yes.
There are probably a few, but people want the one that doesn't move, so the majority follow the signpost directions to literally this one bleeding rock.
It should have it's first letter replaced with a "c" as it'd be rather inappropriately appropriate! I obviously mean it should be called "crock."
Nope, not different. Same locations, but fewer
Lets say that on PC the spawn of asteroids is at 100%
On XB (most probably on PS too) the spawn level it's like 50% or maybe less.
Which means that a lot of asteroids that spawn on PC do NOT spawn on XB.
And which also means that all the asteroids from XB can also be found on PC too
So on the consoles the 25km spot where the famous PC EGG exists is just an empty space... nothing there...
Bad luck!
But, there is another one that is 74km away which do exists on consoles too and the console plebs can reap the benefits of easy going LTD's...
But apparently mining that EGG is not that profitable as the main one... i tested it and got like *450-480t per hour, which is not much better than mapped mining on PC
*(the SSD yield is quite random, some take only 3 missile to empty while the best can take 8 missiles to empty)
It's not about being brave, this method only works once per instance. That is to say, at most only one person could ever do this at one time in open. You will not find EGG users in open.

It's not unfortunately. I tried often enough to instance with someone a couple of weeks ago and ultimately gave up

Well, first we need a tourist beacon in Borann ...
They did change the way the SSD's respawn. How they are behaving now is different from how they used to be.
It's not for me (or you) to decide what the intended respawn mechanism is and what can be called a bug. It's something only fdev can tell. And they said there had been a bug, they made some changes to the code, and then they clearly stated that the bug had been fixed. Not that they "tried to fix it". Like it or not, this is the fixed version.

I've never been to Borann, but it seems to me it was regular mining place, only popular because of triple hotspot.
Now, one asteroid mined by all seems like something worthy of a memorial.
After all those weeks, those miners probably discovered it has personality and talk to it on regular basis.
Now I understand why all the system chatting makes no sense to me.
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Can confirm it's not "everyone".
I've got all the credits I need, and I'm "mined out" for the foreseeable future. Overlaps/eggs/whatever, I'm done with mining for a while, lol.
Ditto, I'v not even touched this gameplay & don't really need to.
Still out in the black with my Carrier & Exploring, but I'v yet to come across any double hotspots of note, these thing are rare!.......nothing wrong in that.
