Amata LireinSynthya WylderDoes the description of "ammonia worlds" in the current CG mean, any world with ammonia as, or in, or as part of, the atmosphere? Or is that strictly just those with "ammonia world" as its description?
Strictly Ammonia Worlds I'm afraid
eddb.io is awesome for this....I've found 114 within a 156ly's of where I am....maybe finally get that explo elite....

Ahh yes, the trappings of glory
I struggled to find a way to adequately display my reward for such a minor contribution to the cause... Until...
(In truth, it's the only ship skin I have which is nice and dark right now)

I went mining today. Set up the Cutter, for core mining for one of the new minerals.
Chose a system that had lots of astroid belts icy and rocky, flew in went up to a Ring and did a detailed discovery scan, nothing on this ring, went to next, scanned it yes, ALEXANDRITE hotspot. Brilliant. Super cruised in the area lit up by the scan about 1000 k from the target. I have an Abrasion Blaster and a Siesmic charge miner, with 2 mining lasers, collector limpet and Refinery and all the important Pulse wave analyser.
SO off i go, Plusing the analyser finding the high lighted rocks, popping a prospector limpet on it seeing whats there, 60 limpets later, in 3 totally different areas within the "hotspot" and 2 hours of flying through and astroid belt. For water and methonal crystal. Nothing else what so ever. No small amounts, no readings nothing of the Alexandrite hotspot. NOTHING not small amounts in any of the rocks I prospected.
I appreciate mining is not meant to be super quick or amazing supply of rocks, but to spend 2 hours getting nothing not 1 reading of the mineral.
Is something broken?
I would not mind if to fill my ship up (128 tones) over 2 hours, but not too even mine anything as there was nothing to mine, seems very broken?
Any suggestions?

That pretty much resembles my first mining attempts. Turns out hotspots in this game aren't really hot unless they overlap two- or threefold, which is rare.
This might be intentional so that the pirates know where to go, see above. Otherwise miners would spread out wide and far, and piracy as a business model wouldn't work.

Vinh KruczekGrecale80What do u think about krait Phantom as combat ship?
On paper, Krait Mk II is better than Krait Phantom due to SLF and additional Large hardpoint.
BUT.
Both ships share the same Size 7 Power Distributor, meaning Krait Phantom depletes its WEP way slower than its Krait Mk II brother. That and Krait Phantom is also a lighter ship (better jump range by default along with differences in handling after Engineering thrusters) along with better straight-line boost. The internal modules (6-5-5-5-3-3-3-2-1) also give you better control over module configuration what gives way better multipurpose modularity.
When you think about it, "that underpowered Krait" is basically Medium Size counterpart of Cobra Mk III. There's a reason why I always call Krait Phantom "True Cobra Mk IV".
The ONLY flaw I have is that none of the Krait Phantom's utility slots are on top of the ship, meaning worse coverage of Point Defenses compared to Krait Mk II.
I have a similar viewpoint. Though I personally prefer the Krait Mk II, I agree that the Phantom is a large Cobra. And to me, the Mk II is a mini Anaconda due to its sheer multirole potential and damage output in hardpoints and fighter bay, and it can still get a respectable (iirc) 55 Ly jump range, even with fighter an scarab in tow. (But Phantom is definitely better in that regard.) And I love the little details present in both ships, like Rubik's Cubes in the crew storage lockers on deck, or the coffee pot with modeled and rendered spills on its tray in the Mk II. And as Sepulcher Gheist put it, "Don't buy the Krait Mk II if you don't intend on using the fighter bay," which is a very fair-astute, but fair-point.
BUT BOTH KRAIT'S ARE FANTASTIC SHIPS THAT CAN DO AMAZING THINGS FOR EVERYONE AND THEIR PLAYSTYLES! Both are great at combat in two very different ways. Like you said, Vinh, the phantom shares the same Class 7 powerplant, with less features to drain from it. And as such the WEP takes longer to deplete, especially so with pips full-tilted into the hardpoints, making it easier to fire longer from a distance (or if you have constant view of your target.) But the Mk II has one more large hardpoint, plus a fighter bay. So have at it. Not to mention the Mk II has one more Class 6 optional internal, which may give a higher trade potential over the Phantom, but I could care less. Both get great-if not just decent-jump ranges, which also isn't something to scoff at. In both of them you can comfortably mine. I made a large profit mining in the Phantom, as I did in the Mk II. AND YOU CAN MAKE THEM DO MULTIPLE JOBS IN ONE OUTFIT!
Sorry about this spiel, Vinh and others. Yes, the Krait Phantom is the REAL Cobra Mk IV, a statement to which I completely agree.

EpisparhHeh, people comparing Python clones with a cobra and Anaconda... That's very entertaining.
I though they were just competing products made by the same manufacturer. I mean, I can add Python in if you'd like, but I was just talking about the two Krait models in particular. I love the Python, but that ship wasn't my focus in that moment.

D2EA was trying to figure out how to mine with the broken PWA and it seems you need to ping it. FA Off, spin around and hope....but he did manage to make some good Cr while coming up with a sort of work around...worth watching the first 20 mins or so...
