Patch Notes Fleet Carriers Update - Patch 4 Patch Notes
So, even though you can make mapped mining runs having every rock exact the same every time, it's supposed to be stored in one "number" or even just the coordinates of system?
Impressive.
Negates my attempts to find logic in preventing FCs to be spread throughout galaxy too.

You've had enough time to jump with some ship to bubble or colonia to buy yourself some SSD launchers.
I assume you don't have them onboard, otherwise you would just have mined it.
And yes, I know yields of 200t/h are not impressive - but how much could you laser mine hourly in a Tri hotspot before the patch?
Way supply and demand works is, supply greater than demand then cost low, if demand greater than supply then cost high. When you have 1 unit of low cost and 200 of high cost, system is broken.
That's how it goes in QA sometimes.
Thank you for the information.Unfortunately, no mention of what bugs FC operators probably the most. The fact that a singular FC in a system (typical in the black) always parks on the dark side of a locked planet. So, you have discovered this beautiful ELW and you park your FC there only to find you are on the dark side and can't adjust the position to the bright side. Why is the number one position about a planet always the worst visually? Just awful when it comes to customer focus.
A 7 billion dollar Fleet Carrier can't adjust its position in orbit? Ridiculously un-realistic. Put in proximity rules sure but, allow a FC to the ability to position itself for goodness sake.

So you ARE testing these patches after all
Good to know.Nice find, it's always better to delay a patch rather than release a faulty one. Although people will moan either way.
Most of us appreciate what you guys do. Keep it up!
Will we start seeing Tritium deep core asteroids (requiring seismic charge launchers) in Tritium hotspots?
So far my pulse wave analyzer hasn't located even one deep core Tritium asteroid (using prospector limpet controller)
It would be very nice to add DCM to subsurface and surface mining on asteroids. Please consider adding it to game (if not already intended but not implemented?)

PSSS...
It's only a trick making us think so!
They have planned to play this this way from the beginning.
Patch was ready after 2 days, it's delayed for PR reasons!
Don't bother looking - there is no deep core tritium asteroids available in the game.
Very curious as to what the issue was, but I guess we'll never know
Painite mining still too lucrative
There is all the time, but people with carriers buy it before you.
If you want it, you need to be quick. It's like those crazy black Friday shoppers.
And tritium trading dried before last patch
bug only affected mining
As a player who really enjoys trading a variety of goods, this would be wonderful.
But the low costs for Tritium only appear when a faction is handling a Drought, Blight, or Terrorist Attack - presumably they're selling off their stock cheap to try and get immediate cash to deal with the disaster.
(Or, for a real-world analogy, when a business in London is having a closing-down sale and selling saucepans for £4 each, the Saucepan Warehouse in Birmingham doesn't suddenly drop its prices from £40 to £3 to outcompete them despite owning far more saucepans than they do, because that would be a terrible business model)
For factions in the same state, the one with a higher percentage of remaining stock will indeed sell at a lower price (only about 5% lower in the case of Tritium, but that's still enough to wipe out the profit margin on a trade)
Just don't have enough time to do that unfortunately, plus at very best 200t/h, (more likely 75t/h as a newb to SSD), means I just can't muster the enthusiasm.
