Call of the wild - A list of pristine metallic rings

CapitanAceRimmer

Have started my own website on EliteDangerous. It is still very much a WIP but it stops me playing E.D. for unhealthy amounts of time (you know the symptoms, "ooh a 175000 CR haulage mission, I'll just do that before I go to bed ...".
Anyway so far I have implemented a page that lists, in order of distance (closest first), the nearest pristine metallic rings, you simply provide the system name. For example to get the nearest PMRs to HIP 8396 simply enter the following web page address in your browser address bar:
http://www.hozbase.co.uk/EliteDangerous/PristineMetallicRingFinder?system=hip 8396

Note that some browsers won't accept a space (FireFox, Internet Explorer 11, and Chrome do) simply use "%20" instead, ie:
www.hozbase.co.uk/EliteDangerous/PristineMetallicRingFinder?system=hip%208396

Currently I am using my own personal list of PMRs. I will go ahead and add any that you have listed here and link back to this page.

I have also implemented a RESTful Web Api so that the information can be gathered programatically, hence for the same system the page is returned in JSON or XML form (depending on the Post request) with the URL:
http://www.hozbase.co.uk/EliteDangerous/PristineMetallicRingFinder/api/Values?system=hip 8396
[Changed recently so it is the same URL but with "api" inserted]

I am a Software Engineer by trade and just using the web-site to learn some new techniques. I am open to any suggestions on what else could be done and on improvements to the PMR finder (although bear in mind it is still very much WIP). I will add info on which rings, images, and a notes section at some point but the initial priority is to make the list as extensive as possible.

Update: 7 Dec 2015 - I have integrated the Gorrister list into the web-site + I am finding about 2-4 PMRs a week as well.
Good news is that Merope has a PMR and there another 3 within 10Ly + there are at least 2 black hole systems in the area (Maia and HR 1185) Thus when the new station is placed there, there will be mining and exploration possibilities.

Well, be my guest.

If you need something, just give me a call.
I will link your website on the front page.
We're a big family after all.

Mined enough PPP to get my Python. I outfitted it to mine, of course. The T-7 was ok, she made me a lot of money, but was a toothless beached whale and far too big for her cargo capacity. Sure the T-7 only cost 32 million compared to 106 million, but I think the game could use a better T-7 with a new twin seat cockpit, and some medium sized weapons slots at the rear (like a B-17). If you're attacking a ship and it keeps turning it's tail on you and firing twin guns, that might deter some people. I would love to be able to switch seats from the pilot chair to the rear gunner and personally deliver those blasts. Can't be that hard, folks have been flying flight sims for 25 years and moving about to different stations inside their ship/airplane/spaceship. Right now there is the external mesh and the internal cockpit view. The game would need additional internal mesh views for different compartments and a way for the ship to keep flying while the pilot moves. Look at Warbirds, IL-2, WW2OL, or most other WW1/WW2 flight sims and you will see this along with multi-crew options. Maybe one day........

And Gorister, FEHU has 3 adjacent pristine reserve metallic rings. All just 1 jump away. I've mined close to 5,000 tons now, mostly platinum and palladium. Course, first you have to fly down and scan the planets; then go back and bring your mining ship. That's like 3.5 hours of work if you leave from HR 943 or DIAGUANDRI stations.

The Python should do a good job of mining and making those long-range trade mission hauls back to the pew pew Bubble for fat cash.

Just a quick message to the OP to thank you for the great list you have put up here. Often I just want to spend a couple of hours mining away in my own little bubble, so your list has been fantastic for me to find which is nearest to my most recent location. Please also pass on my sincere gratitude to the other guys who have made the complimentary spreadsheets / applications to go hand-in-hand with you PM list, it is much appreciated. I haven't read through all of the thread itself yet, as I have only recently stumbled across it, ironically using a google search as opposed to a forum search!!

But thanks once again mate, both to yourself and your fellow contributors to the set of items here - great work and thanks for taking the time and effort to share it with the rest of the community.

Regards,
The Hat :)

Well, it looks like at this moment that a real use for the metal rich bodies is not given in horizon.
I looked on the surface for some time, but I mostly found iron.
I haven't played very long, so maybe I missed something.
I'm running out of fuel with my scarab most of the times before finding something useful.

I have still hope that the surface mining devices are implemented soon, so I still collect the data for metal rich bodies.

Got a only just outside the bubble one, 35 Omicron Bootis 2. It has an inner metallic and an out metal rich. nearest habitat is less than 50ly I think.

Here I go again on my own...

On a tourist track to the prettiest places out there.
On my way I will provide you with all the metallic rings I find.
Best regards, Gorrister

In my hunt to find a pristine metallic nearer to LTT 11478 than GCRV 1568, I found HR 1201, 1 -10 -61 -120, HIP 20441 (A3) 0 -49 -120 & HIP 13644, 1 -40 -56 -90
.
If anyone finds 1 nearer please LMK! :)

Hello, fellow miners!

I just found this thread by google search for "Pristine Metallic". I'm also interested in the subject, and since I didn't know about CMDR Ace Rimmer's tool, I made my own: http://edtools.ddns.net/. It has some of the systems I don't see in this thread. I'm still adding PrisMets to it, and trying to fill in the blanks, so help is appreciated.

I also made a simple distance calculator that supports multiple distances, as many as you want: http://edtools.ddns.net/dist.php.

Fly safe, and happy New year!

pleased to see the system i found a few weeks back isnt listed here, shows you can find them if you look hard enough without the aid of someone elses findings :)
