NGC 6842 nebula region exploration and core mining tour - with Fleet Carrier

That system you gave me as my marker?

I figured I go there straight away and work my way back slowly in an expanded line. First ringed planet of that system has several Tritium hotspots in it. So know if you mine it or not, but just in case, here you go:

There is at least one tritium hotspot in the ring the carrier is next to, and I think others in the same system. I've been looking for a Platinum hotspot. No luck so far.

Laser mining Platinum has become a viable option.
I just discovered 3 single Platinum hotspots in a metallic ring.
53.32ly from The Silver Citadel NGC 6842 Sector HR-V b2-1 2 A Ring (Metallic) 66ls from primary star which is scoopable.
There are more ringed planets in this system, so I will check them out too.
4 A Ring (Metallic) also has Platinum hotspots

If only I had brought my Cutter.

You could request it to be transferred out here, and any additional modules needed.

I could but it would take me a week to pay it off. The Anaconda would be cheaper and I do like mining in it but even it would cost me a quarter of a billion credits. It would take days of mining to pay off the costs of bringing it.

Wow, I didn't expect it to cost as much as that for 6,000ly transfer.
I can see myself doing some Monazite core mining later in the month, but I'm having fun exploring right now.

The Silver Citadel is due to arrive in Teveri at 15:51 in game time - about 11 minutes from the time of posting this.

I saw that. I've already got my ships on the way here. You're only 200 LY from me and it's probably not going to get any closer than that.

Thanks again for everything.

The last jump was only 60ly, so already as good as in the bubble.
Glad you got your final fleet carrier credits out of the expedition. As necessary as Robigo runs and similar repetitive activities are for acquiring credits for fleet carriers any time soon, it's nice to get some of them a different and more varied way.
I got my last billion doing different things in Colonia.
See you in the black.
