Newcomer / Intro Painite pain

I am trying to find painite double hotspots but miners tool took me to GCRV 1568 and there is no painite in the painite hotspot!!! I am 50 limpets in and no painite at all.

I am using my carrier for the first time to mine painite so all advice gratefully received.

I tried a couple of other systems mentioned on edtools.cc/miner but prefer Hyades Sector DB-X D1-112, there's a small planet with rings (2 I think), just land between the 2 hotspots and head towards the one closer to the planet. If you don't find anything after 10 limpets, go to supercruise and return.

I haven't really mined painite either, just to unlock the engineer. I tried yesterday to mine it in a single hotspot, metallic ring. I must have shot 150 limpets and not a single rock had painite on the surface. One had a core of painite. I did jump out of the spot and back in four times, and same result every time. Is there some trick to painite?

Congrats on your new Fleet Carrier by the way Hawknerd. I have a nice little gift for you. There is about 10k tons of cheap tritium at OSISSI. It's not on Inara yet. Better hurry up and get it though; the vultures will be showing up soon. I've gathered just about all that I need.

Did you drop into the inner A-ring (metallic) or the broader outer B-ring (metal rich)?

Both. Started with the big panite HS on outer ring and then when it was useless I went for a tiny HS on the inner ring and it seemed a lot better. At the tiny HS I ended up with 116T then my limpets ran out. But I feel uncomfortable with this painite mining as it does not seem to drop painite roids very often.

What is the secret to painite mining?

Very kind but I am stuck at this system to mine for a while. What price was the tritium?

You cannot laser mine painite in a metal rich ring (only core).

So hotspots are different for each ring? I think I just jumped in and should have done some homework.

What exists in the rings depend on the ring type. A hotspot increases the relative frequency of the hotspot material, but since painite is not laser mineable in metal rich rings ...

Ok, I just went and double checked, I was in the metal rich ring too. Crap! wasted a whole evening haha. Oh well, good learning experience!
