Call of the wild - A list of pristine metallic rings

You only get low temp diamonds in icy rings, & yea the pristine rings will be the best.
Shoot off at most 2 chunks with your mining lasers, usually 1 will do it but sometimes you'll notice the 1st fragment won't contain all the elements of that asteroid.
.
Oh & yea low temp diamonds are extremely rare, more so than Painite.
.
Btw if you run out of limpets maybe you could pay someone to deliver some to you? ;)

Ah yea I've got ya now too :)
How much do 'medium' asteroids hold I wonder?
Btw have you even seen 'high' content ones? I haven't!

I think I learned something today. But it might be a bug. Figured I'd bring it up in here and see if anyone else thinks it's a bug...
or a feature.
Also, just to see if this is something that everybody else already knows, cause I didn't.
It's been my experience that mining a rock without firing a prospector at it first yields fewer fragments.
About 15 or so...
Fire a prospector at it, and I get about 37 or so..
Today I fired a prospector at a rock, saw what it had, then fired my LAST drone at the one next to it.. it was better so I mined it.
After that was depleted, I still had collectors, still had empty holds, so I started mining the rock I had previously hit with the prospector.
It was 46% silver, and I figured, silver is better than empty, so I started on it, thought I'd get the usual 15 fragments.

No.. I got as many fragments as I would have if it had a prospector on it. 30+
If i can confirm this, I can quit firing limpets at the rocks I already know the contents of..
So, I'm leaning toward "this is a feature" because it's really not hurting anything.
Also, I figure that an engineer SHOULD at least be able to program my ship computer to keep track of the roids I've hit with prospectors.
Maybe that's what it is doing and it's just not telling me.

Just confirming that new Pris-met discoveries are still wanted? The few I posted on the 31st May/1st June haven't been added to the database, so I just wanted to know it was still worth doing?

I would say probably yes, but I'm not the guy updating the site ;), I guess he's just been busy or away for a bit (I forget whose admin of it :eek: ).

Some of us do know but it's info scattered all over the place (including early on in this massive thread I think ;) ), so it's worth consolidating.
Yes prospectors hugely boost yield, wiki mentions that, but it doesn't tell you that A rated ones give you a higher on average yield still over lower grade ones.
And yes even after the prospector dies the yield boost remains :) (I don't think the wiki mentions that either, IIRC!).
.
And agreed there should be some kind of record of which asteroids we've prospected! (no their isn't atm, afaik). Drives me nuts that sometimes!
Maybe they could 'fit' the prospectors with a very large can of bright paint which would be splattered over a large area of the asteroid when it dies ;). Maybe I should make that an official request? lol.

kjnbpr - it's VicTic. I haven't seen mine posted either. I hope they're ok.

Today I found out that the boost doesn't last long. It's two deep for sure.
Shoot 2 and the first one is still boosted.
Shoot 3, idk. Untested.
Shoot 4 and the first roid's boost goes away, for sure.

good to know there is an actual difference between the A rated Prospector and the B, C, D's. Never ran anything but A myself.

Marker prospectors is a great idea, you should make that suggestion.
Also, a paintball cannon could be an cool defensive weapon in an asteroid field. Let them pirates try to fly by braille!
We should get engineers on this! I have a lot of things for them to do that are actually useful!
Like fitting 2 class 2 mods into a class 4 slot.. COM'ON! That's a BASIC engineering skill.
Get me a sonic screwdriver and I can probably do it myself.

Re Victic, I think that's who I've been chatting to ingame for several weeks (he switched cmdrs recently when engineers came out, so I'm not totally sure it's him ;)).
I'll ask him when I next see him there ..... if I remember :eek:
.
Re prospectors boosting affect, interesting, & how many active prospectors can you have? Maybe this affects it too?
.
Yea I wondered about a paintball cannon too a while back, lol fighting using braille ;), they would still have the radar, but that isn't accurate enough to shoot someone if you have fixed weapons!
.
Re marker prospectors, I found an old thread suggesting exactly this so I bumped it. Post to this 'prospecting' thread if you want to add your vote for it.

Hi,

yes they are still wanted.
I can also add them to the list. But I don't do that so fast at the moment. Sorry.s
Vic reseted his other account Abstained. So he is mostly playing with that account at the moment.

Right now I'm mining, but as soon as I go exploring again, I will also add more systems.

Hi everybody!

I apologize for my long absence, those are the systems that were added to the list (with one exception):

News: (unless you already know) ED now netlogs the coordinates of visited system. EDDiscovery reads the coordinates and sends them to EDSM. So if your running EDDiscovery you shouldn't need to enter distances anymore. Quite a time saver.

Heh. Meth Crystals. (just tryin to make the list)
So, found these.. In A.L. Duval controlled space near several inhabited systems.
The system itself in not inhabited. No Icy rings.

Found a new pris-met (1st in ages!!) on the beginning of my little trip for exploration data gathering for the CG @ Garoku, it's inhabited too :), although it only has surface ports. Right on the edge of the bubble, west side.
Oh & their are low, high & haz extraction sites here too.

Thank you Vic. How are you?

I'm alive and well :)

I haven't opened my VicTic account in ED in months, I'm flying an alt now (cmdr Abstained) and reset it periodically, trying to explore the early game in depth. I was able to devise quite a few ways for newbies to progress in quick and fun ways. My personal best credit-wise was from 1,000 to 70M CR in the first 24 hours of play. Not recommend it as fun play but if you need credits it's handy.
