Pristine System Log - Ross 919 - Complete
15 Jan 2019Veladarius
Ross 919 was the first Pristine System I found and had moons rich in minerals as well as several ringed planets that were brimming with valuable materials. Ross 919 has pretty much every type of ring in it and they are all rich with materials. The few moons you are able to land on are also rich in materials and surprisingly a large amount of cargo can be found littering the landscape. There have been many times where I went there to gather materials and left with a full cargo hold in addition to quite a bit of minerals.System Details:
Planet #1
Rings: 2
Landable Moons: 1
Ring A is a Metallic ring with everything including Painite somewhat easy to find. I have left there with a 64t cargo hold and the refinery full of Platinum and Painite. Tip: The ring has a number of light and dark bands and the transitions between these bands was where Painite and other high end metals tended to be around.
Ring B is a Metal Rich ring, similar to Ring A it was a wealth of metals though Painite was far less rare.
Moon #2 is high in many of the materials used the most in engineering and rock outcrops are common. The surface is relatively smooth with a number of worn craters, some of being 100's of km across. Tip: I found more minerals (and cargo) in the craters than outside of them.
Planet #2
Rings: 1
Landable Moons: 2
Ring A is a Metal Rich ring similar to Planet #1 though I found the amount of high end metals was somewhat less.
I did little exploring of these moons as the moon of Planet #1 had a higher % of useful mineral content than these.
Planet #3
Rings: none
Landable Moons: 2
These moons have not been explored as they have a relatively low % of useful mineral content compared to the others in the system.
Planet #4
Rings: 1
Landable Moons: 0
Ring A is an Icy ring with several Low Temp Diamond hot spots. With a bit of patience you can come away with 50+ tons of Diamonds in a single trip but bring lots of limpets as I used almost an equal amount getting them as most asteroids were comprised of < 20% Diamonds but the time was worth it as in a single day I was able to earn about 110m cr from 2 trips to the ring (you need to be willing to go a bit of a distance to sell them at a good price though).
