Was grinding the double-painite spot in COL 285 Sector UZ-P D5-90. It seems like the big asteroids only have the durability of small asteroids. Like, it used to it would take over two full charges of my (unengineered, mining) Cutter's WEP capicitor to fully drain a large asteroid of 30% painite. Now it doesn't even take one burst of four mining lasers, and the asteroid is completely empty. Even more odd, I only seem to be getting one or two tons of painite for motherlode asteroids. Has this been changed in a recent patch or am I just horribly unlucky?

Just unlucky, i think, Salt. A good roid in the 40-50% range will generally net me 13 or 14 tons. Size of roid doesn’t seem to noticeably affect that.
Also, i do find more luck when prioritizing the small rocks. It may be just me, but they do seem to more commonly hold good percentages of P-cheddar.

Only deep core rocks are the same shape every time as they only created a single animation for each ring type for when there cracked ..
Laser rocks dont care what shape... once the server generates the ring the Same rocks in the same location are same percentage every time...
A 66 percentage rock will be in the same place every time..
This is why players can map the locations easy if they have a single entry point...
PC server generates one pattern of rocks.
The consoles generate there pattern of rocks they are not the same as on PC as the console have lots of rocks missing from the rings.

This I did not know. Thank you!
I hope I'm unlucky. It's insane, I was only getting 3 tons of painite for a 60% painite roid.
