SubSurface Low Temp Diamonds

Spent 2 hours trying to subsurface mine LTD's. Found 2 rocks with subsurface LTDs. Everything else was Core Diamonds. Lots of Tritium surface deposits. Why would I find more tritium in a LTD hotspot than LTDs?????
 
I found subsurface LTD Deposits extremely rare (but extremely lucrative if found).
But i am equipped with full mining gear, so i collect Subsurface, core and surface Mining stuff ;)
 
Had problems finding SS LTDs at the LTD3 site, even though I was hitting the triple overlap area. Then I refined the overlap area even more and now it is working like a charm !!!

Look up Down To Earth Astronomy on Youtube, he did a video on a new triple LTD mining hotspot.
Go there
In a mining build you can find here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/subsurface-mining-builds.547730/
In post #52 I explain how I converted those builds to a surface mining build, and I, a player that has continually failed at mining, managed to successfully mine LTD this morning

If I can do it, so can anyone.
 
Several of my RL friends are getting involved in ED, and it looks like I am going to take care of getting them started. I'm really torn between teaching them how to engage sandbox mode with all these new mining and trading metas, or pretend that it rains and show them how to ply the superconductor trade: 'Wow, that's 30k profit per run. Soon, you'll be able to kit out your very own Adder!'. Maybe I'll just take them exploring...

I think the state of the economy in this game is absolutely regrettable, but it's not like everything was fine until LTD showed up. And atleast, mining is a little bit involved now, the same can't be said for some older moneymaking metas, like the practically risk free multi-million payout medium-distance smuggling missions. I've been whining about the economy since the vertical slice beta, and all the great things in this game is what keeps me here, whining, instead of moving on to another game. Like the amazing universe. I think I will take my friends exploring. In all this time, I still haven't got to see Barnard's loop up close...
 
Sad.

I wish the game credits weren't such a mess, the most fun I had was making my way from sidewinder to cobra with slave running missions (and some side trading) making me a few thousand credits.

Now just, grab an LTD and buy several cobras.

Meh
