E:D activities: Mining

Void Opal Mining

A Medium ship like a Python or AspX to move easily in and around the rocks:
For Cores you need:

• Detailed Surface Scanner (to see the Hotspots)
• Pulse Wave Scanner (to find the hot/brightest rocks)
• Prospector Limpet Controller (to ping it and see the fractures)
• Seismic Launcher (to fire charges into the cracks)
• Abrasion Blaster (to knock bits off)
• Collector Limpets (to pick bits up)
• Refinery (to turn bits into tons)
• Cargo space (for lots of limpets)

Check INARA Commodities for the current location for best selling price, should be around 1.6 million per ton

LTT 1349 Planet 3 has an Icy Ring with Void Opal Hotspots.
Kappa Fornacis 9 has a ring with 15 Hotspots, 5 of which are Void Opals.

All the metallic ring cores look the same https://i.redd.it/ptx2wpvm1o421.png

I found two really good videos on the new mining system, as well as a video on a few cheaper builds for starters which I used last night to put together my first miner. He explains it really well and calmly, I hope this will be of use, too!
