Are the Y or T stars of any use, what about finding Tritium ???

[SparcT1]

Hi Cmdrs,
I am currently exiting known areas and am starting to see lot of unknown around.
Exactly what I was searching for.
However, I regularly look for Tritium to refill my fleet carrier, and am not sure yet which system to target for so as a priority.
No emergency : Still 820+ T available, plus about 300+ T in cargo as a reserve.
However : Which are the best Star systems to look at to find icy rings bodies that could host Icy rings/Tritium ?
I read that Y or T star systems were potentially better for that, even if I found them (sometimes) easily on K, G or M systems so far, but on such Y/T I could never find anything really useful from either mining, tritium, exobiology or exploration.
Could never find anything really useful in those. Are they worst the effort ?
( and I ever explored a (relative) lot of them so far...)

So when hunting for Tritium to sustain your trip, which Star systems do you look at first ?

Cheers,

I have trit fuel stops bookmarked around the galaxy, there doesn't seem to be any real pattern to it Star wise, M's, F's even White dwarfs, its just a case of looking for Ice systems with ringed gas giants and scan the rings.
Haven't really had much trouble finding them unless you are on the outer edges.

In my travels, systems with the brighter stars - K, G, F; even A, and B - turned up more gas giants. The ring type, or lack of rings, varied too much to be definitive. From memory, Y and T mostly had icy planetoids, but not much else.

Thanks for your answers.
I am currently somewhere in the Orio-Persean Gap, heading to the Wayfarers Graveyard.
About two days without icy rings found yet.
Not that of an issue so far, but was just to know which Stars based systems I should investigate in priority.
My explorer is scouting on the path to next jump for my fleet carrier, but would like to find a place at which it could seat for my miner doing refill.
Still 10+ jumps available but was just to know before I decide moving either forward or backward for a time (to refill).
So far, I will still move forward...

Brave of you to travel with so little Trit. My current journey started from the bubble with 17,800 tons so hopefully I needn't worry about refuelling!

Hope your Explorer is set to Economy route rather than Fastest route

Hi Cmdrs,
@Anticon - That was an option, but my way is exploration, exobiology and also mining, that I enjoy. My goal, is going in the void with an as empty hold as possible, then fill it with mined stuff for later use or trading. That's why I started that trip with just 1000 Tritium and few stock, and want to renew it in time, as necessary, but only then, filling my cargo space with mined stuff in place. I keep a security reserve of 2+ jumps to last previously discovered Tritium mining source, and so far it does the job. Just did a mining refill soon. I have 1000 T available, plus ~600 T in reserve. With jumps at 75 T currently, it gives me good margin to safely find another one on my path.
@Gut - That could be an option, but if I still was in the bubble to buy it. It's not the case as I am (somewhat) far outside any civilisation. No routes, just... explore. This is what I like. Find what you need by yourself, or assume the issue, is also another principle I like. Don't care if it is far being the most efficient... I just like it.

I believe, it's not very efficient to carry too much Tritium. As with more weight, also more Tritium cost per jump is involved. I usually carry 1000 in the tank and only 1000-2000 in storage. This gives me up to 30 jumps before I have to mine again. That's like 1/3 from SagiA to the bubble.
Also, for mining, K stars are the best. Most have Tritium hotspots, but as I like chill mining with laser and abbrasion only, it's rather the issue to find a nice flat ring,.close enough to the star for good lighting and not too much fog.
Always keep 1 jump worth in storage for the final jump to the selected planet to mine, after you run out.
