Is mining completely shut down?
I've been mining for two nights straight now. Tried pristine, tried low, tried Eddb, tried pure luck, prospected probably a hundred asteroids.
NONE had fissures.
NONE had valuables inside.
Only water and methanol.
Am I doing something wrong?
Been mining twice in that last few days and came back with 128t of VOs both times.
I've definitely had times where I've struggled to find anything too, though.
Thing is, the placing of DC 'roids
isn't RNG so if you're not finding them it's not just "bad luck".
If you're flying around a ring and you're seeing debris-clouds then you know other people got there before you.
If you're
not seeing debris-clouds and you're
not finding DC 'roids, you're just in a bad spot, in which case just jump into SC for a few seconds and try a different area of the hotspot.
Also, I still don't know how much difference it makes but, just to be on the safe side, I always stick to rings with Pristine or Major reserves on the assumption that
might improve my chances.
Dunno if it does or not but, y'know, better safe than an empty cargo hold.
