I'd love to try the new Deep Core Mining but...

Here are a few places to get planetary elements.

If you build a salvage ship and collect planetary salvage you will also get Materials.
You can also get Data from Data Points.

Here is the closest I have found two Core Rocks. About 4.25km

Don't you feel like mining in a big ship takes longer because the cruise speed is so low? Seems like 5 limpets on a Python do a quick job of picking up the ore, but you can boost between rocks faster and get more prospecting done per hour.
HUmnn.. Since I am routinely finding core rocks less than 10 km apart, I don't see why it would be necessary to have a high cruise speed and certainly have no reason to be doing any boosting.
I wouldn't say lack of speed is a problem for large ships but lack of agility can be.
If you're trying to aim and fire seizmic charges in something like an Annie, as AspX will, literally, be capable of flying circles around you.
I can mine DC 'roids in my T10 if I find 'em but it's like trying to run underwater.
Much, much, more relaxed in a Python, or Krait, or AspX.
I'm not a creds per hour player. Real life is all about financial targets and $'s per hour. Not interested in carrying that thru to my game! Plus you make so many creds mining, even if you're not in a hurry, you still end up making more creds than you know what to do with in a very short time frame.
I guess people went a bit nuts with the mining at first because they figured FDev would nerf it.
Now it's become apparent that they aren't going to nerf it, I guess we can throttle-back a bit.
Personally, I just do a bit of this and that and if I'm in an area for a couple of days I'll transfer an AspX or Python across and have a session of mining to put Cr100m-Cr200m in the bank.
Arrived back in the bubble at the end of March with Cr4bn in the bank, I've spent around Cr1.5bn on ships since then and I've still got Cr4.6bn in the bank now.
It's almost impossible to lose credits now, as long as you do a bit of mining once in a while.
I do exploration on my way to my mining spot. Sure will be glad when the FDEV fixes the surface mapping.
I actually stopped regular mining because of the absurd profit margin (kind of sad really).
My dream was that they'd make hot spots deplete permanently so that explorers finding good rings would bring the gold rush to the outer rim, and bubble mining would be like the standard depleted-ring yield.
Then rim stations would buy opals for a lower rate and post lucrative cargo missions to bring ore to the core planets.
It would be a simple tweak that would revivify several roles.

Ok. Got both Pythons home and sold 404 tons of cargo, about 300 was LTD's. 7 jumps in each ship and not one interdiction attempt. Definitely going to hunt down some class A thrusters since the last two rocks were really spinning and in tight group with other rocks making me have to try and shoot charges as the fissure rotated in front of me.
