Hasse Hub in Aonikenk had a lot of cheap Cobalt, but they didn't want my mug 😞

Hi Timber.

My name is Ashnak, and I don't have a fleet carrier. If anyone wants to argue about that, tell me a place and a time. I'll bring the Orc hordes.

My other name is Azzie Elbub. I do not have a bar on my fleet carrier - they never manage to keep the ichor at an appropriate drinking temperature, and I keep on running out of barkeepers 🤷‍♂️ .

I surely will not argue about that, Ashnak.

Sounds like a serious problem, there, Azzie Elbub.

Finally got a chance to take the FDL out for a test run on pirate massacre missions. (Level 4 was all that was available.)
  • Not quite as maneuverable as the Chieftain.
  • Simply MELTS the enemy almost instantly.
  • Is a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Shields haven't dropped below 94% yet.
  • Can continuously fire all 4 grade 2 beam lasers forever. No overheating, no nothing.
I like it. I like it a lot.

And it's only grade 3 engineered so far.

I had an interesting morning. I decided to drag out an old mining map that I used a few times in the past. I haven't used it since before Odyssey launched though, because following a map while mining isn't much fun. Of course, it's not intended to be fun, it's intended to be efficient, which it is (because you only prospect and mine very high value asteroids and don't waste time searching for them).

We've been talking about how hotspots don't seem to contain what they should recently, so I was curious if this old map would still work, or whether I'd find that all the formerly high value asteroids were now gone.

They were all still there, in exactly the same spots, with exactly the same percentages. Like this one:

I followed the map for a while and everything was in place as before.

Once I got bored following the map (it's very tedious to me) I switched to my normal random prospecting, to see how I'd fare.

It went very well. I found lots of rocks with over 40%, a couple over 50%, and one over 60%. So not as high as in the map, but still very nice.

The location I was mining is in Col 285 Sector KM-V d2-106, Planet 5 Ring A. There is a double-platinum hotspot in the inner ring. The system is clogged with carriers, because this is a well-known hotspot.

Anyway, whatever's been going on with hotspots lately, it hasn't affected this one.

Of course I can only say that it was working, for me, today.

I was kind of hoping to prove there was a problem, so I could do a bug report, but everything seemed normal in this hotspot. I filled my hold with Platinum and now I'm off to sell it.

Hmm. I really must head over to my go-to spot and see if everything is still as it was ...
