Well last mining run was a complete RNG mess up.. ran out of limpets yet again lol... So will be taking a full smegging load next time all 256 and needed another 33% more rocks to fill the cutter, so Wont be flying that direction again in the ring... switching back to heading to planet again from hotspot...
There are pristine reserve bromellite hotspots in Ibor ~44LY from the CG system. I only had a chance to make 2 runs last night but I filled my 128t miner in just over an hour per run with combo core and laser mining.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try.
So this is the first time "double-engineered" will be available to the general public. That's quite a groundbreaking development.
Either way, for my participation personally, I'll be aiming for Top 10% (maybe not even that). Mining is more boring than a doctor's appointment, and I'm still slightly burnt-out from my last big push. The 4th notch will have to wait.

Serious question, where are y'all mining? What star system?
Ibor but it is a bit annoying that there is so much unwanted stuff like Tritium in the ring.
Fantastic, anyone else find Platinum Hot spots without platinum or anything else good in them?
No, but then as it isn’t on the CG list I haven’t been looking for it just Bromellite and Lithium Hydroxide.
Blind guess: You are in the metal rich part of the ring. Try the metallic ring (Platinum hotspot yield about 4:1 osmium)
Not in Pristine Metallic rings, Plenty of Metal Rich rings are like that, platinum and Painite hotspots in Metal Rich rings only contain Cores and a Lot fewer other commodities.
So you don't get the blueprint unlocked for being in the top 75%? You just get one free module and have to unlock the blueprint to get more?
I tried in Metallic ring Pipe (Bowl) Sector GG-Y C2 in different hotspots including double painite, but it was little bit slow and boring, much easier to find painite than osmium and samarium. Then I moved yesterday to Praea Euq SG-Y D10, Icy Ring with 44 hotspots, into double Bromellite hotspot, and it's much faster and more fun. Combination of
laser mining, SD, SSD, Cores, and by the way you can collect Tritium, VO, Alexandrite - whatever you want. I found only one FC there yesterday, and was surprised. Ok, it's
1000 LY outside, but it's not so big distance for Carriers.

Yea seam Fdev changed the rules again for this tech... and ther will be no blueprint unlock... so your cash is no good, mats required for each missile rack ...
Theres a double over lap brom site alot closer to the bubble, so players dont need to go 1000Lys... and theres a haz res in a hot spot even closer than that so thats likely were people are in open...<200lys, so you should be lonley for a while...
Can you say where?? (please)
Yes one free module, it reads in the other thread in News like it isn’t an unlock at the Tech Brokers but a purchase for mats for each extra module.
