I need to find me a double nearby. I'm lazy ya see.I mine in a double VO hotspot and after the last update I saw for the first time other than VO cores. It's still 90% VOs though.

Aaahhhh in that case....I suppose I should have clarified I'm core mining.
Are we now able to find cores with the correct mineral in them (i.e. VO cores in VO hotspots?) I haven't seen a single one since the egg nerf. Lots of cores, just none with VO in them. In VO hotspots.
Or you know, FD could simply add a zero to bounties. Yup, times ten please. That would still make an Elite Anaconda bounty worth 2.5m which is less than half the rebuy. So I don't have to do something I find about as much fun as squeezing my own eyeballs (laser mining).

2 more cores, another LTD and an Alexandrite (from a VO hotspot). This is pure crap.
Guys, I dont know were you're core mining, but I confirmed this after the egg nerf and I confirm it today. There are no VOs in VO hotspots.
I feel confident in saying that are no cores of the appropriate type in any hotspot. The last VO core I saw was just after the egg nerf and it was in a LTD hotspot.
There is definitely something wrong.
S'funny, that's always been my experience of DC mining.
I go to an alleged VO hotspot and I find DC 'roids about as often as I "should" (one every 10 to 15 minutes) but 3 out of 4 are something garbage and, thus, I'm only finding 1 or 2 VO DC 'roids per hour.
That's why I prefer laser-mining.
Some might say it's "laborious" but I prefer to describe it as "relaxing".
In either case, at least you're spending most of your time doing what you expect to be doing; mining with lasers.
For me, DC mining has always consisted of spending most of my time stunt-flying through rings with the PWA button taped down until I see the fabled glowly 'roid, only to find it's garbage.
But, erm, yeah.
If it's even worse than it was, I won't be giving it another go any time soon.![]()
I've not had any luck finding doubles since the update. I've got an LTD/VO overlap bookmarked which is nice though, diversify my assets a bit.I mine in a double VO hotspot and after the last update I saw for the first time other than VO cores. It's still 90% VOs though.
hot spots should be hotspots... all cores should be whats in the hotspot, not garbage clagnuts no-one wants!
as it stands may aswell delete core mining from the game and forget that update even happened because its just RNG horse crap
Well, that's the thing, innit?
I mean, I guess it all depends on whether you've done enough to appease RNGesus but if an area is classified as, say, a Void Opal hotspot, you expect that it'll be glaringly obvious that VO's are the most common thing you'll find in DC 'roids.
When you're in a VO hotspot and 75% of the DC 'roids you find are, say, Bauxite then surely it should BE a "Bauxite Hotspot" and not a "Void Opal Hotspot"?
Or, is this just ED's way of telling me that I'm just really, really unlucky and everybody else IS usually finding VO's in VO Hotspots?![]()
Go to Amber system, there's a VO, LTD and Trit overlap hotpot. LOTS of VO and LTD Core asteroids. Last ringed in the system. Several other hotspots too, even another VO there. I am tripping over VO Cores and just passing by the LTD cores. I've been milking this same ring for over a month, whenever I need a few hundred million, I know right where to go, Amber A 8!Are we now able to find cores with the correct mineral in them (i.e. VO cores in VO hotspots?)

The amount in my little Golden spot as shrunk to near zero, or like 1 or 2 VO Core(s) an hour. Ridiculous! I am just not sure that's FDEV's doing OR, maybe it's just naturally degrading as I've mined it. I mean, that would make sense and not sure how the game is coded in the this respect, but you'd think that a "spot", based on player or general "Open" mining, would drain that spot over time. I've looked at new spots and had similar luck, even in a "Pristine" reserve or three, however, have not really setup VO mining in another spot yet, so can't say for sure. I did do a test, where I checked out numerous "Hot Spots" or even no Hot Spots, just random Icy ring, and found almost identical results, of low VO Cores. I don't think it's the PWA either, just FDEV changing the function from something like IF== 'HotSpot' (VO) then SET CNT(0.0001%), like they messed up and added a few extra zeros (the wrong side of the decimal place!) in the Core generator function. How hard could it possibly be to change it back?! I think this would "fix" the PWA by the way! However, my assumption is this did this deliberately and have no intention of "fixing" anything.Well , today i mined around 3 hours in Arietis Sector XZ-P B 5-3 Planet 1 for Void Opals . I found 7 VO Cores , 3 Granditerit Cores and 1 LTD core . The amount of VO Cores is HALF of that what i could ususally find a few weeks before. I was able to fill my Python up easily and go sell within 2 hours. today i stopped at 106 VOs because i had enough..
THANKS FDEV ! FIX YOUR GAME!
