Personally, I'm happy (ish) with the state of mining as it is. But it certainly could do with more improvements. Especially with Hot Spots and core mining in general tbh. But I think FDev may screw more things up than fix any apparent problems that may still exist.Well I'm mainly looking for the SSD and surface deposits as I don't like core mining ... but my point is that none of them were core, and the none glowing ones didn't fair much better in the LTD hotspot (for example)
anyway ... I guess everyone is happy with the current state of things, so there's no point in putting a case to FDev to turn the tap on a little more ... I'll get back in my box
can I have your tritium?So sad that laser mining is still basically broken![]()
This was 1 hour spent in an LTD "hotspot" (single hotspot)
I tried an Alexandrite hotspot and got 0 Alexandrite. Void Opal hotspot and got 0 void opals. Grandidierite I got a couple .... LTD still the best of the bunch (no painite hotspots nearby) but all the other "good ones" are still broken![]()
Still, at least I've managed to mine about 500T of Tritium over the last 3 hours whilst looking for riches so my FC won't go hungry for a while

I'm gonna try that, I come in right on the centre but usually don't find anything til roughly 30km away...Ok. Not saying you're wrong but I always come in at around 300km out from the centre and work my way in, again this is with Trit in Trit hotspots but I often don't make it to the middle before I'm filled up.

HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A BLOODY GREAT SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!111!!!!1ONEI'm disappointed with the amount of non-shouty threads today, especially for a Sunday.
It's a sad reflection of the forums, and a poor day all around.
Not really aimed at you btw OP![]()

Better?
Sabbath bloody Sabbath....It's a day of reflection...Or they're building up suspense for evening time...Wait, it is evening in your part of the world no?I'm disappointed with the amount of non-shouty threads today, especially for a Sunday.

Where's Leo to roust up the Forum undead.I have my fingers crossed for some more late threads, where players have been drinking and get really combative about daft crap!
Hang on. If you want to laser mine, there's no point looking for glowing rocks. The glow indicates surface, subsurface or core, none of which are accessible with lasers.You guys obviously aren't reading my posts properly ... I've said I'm prospecting the glowing rocks, in otherwords I'm using a pulse wave analyzer to find possible core rocks and then prospecting them, to find they're false echoes mainly ... or just have a few deposits to blast off
Well, I think your theory has some logic to it. As the yellow rocks tend to be excluded from having the mineral you're looking for with laser mining, it's more likely the others directly around it do from a spread point of view.You are right if we are looking at the glowing asteroids directly. They even have a lower probability of laser content (at least for Tritium, can be different with minerals).
It seems that in the close vicinity of the glowing ones the probability of better intrinsic content of the asteroids increases. Not easy to prove, check for yourself and see if you can confirm this, or if it's just Kabbalah. Think in increased likelihood rather than clear evidence. I heard this from someone else and am trying to confirm this impression for quite a while now. So far I believe he could be on to something...
