Ezkill101Yeah id like to just find it, im better to go for that but im rigged out for mining but it just takes so long when ive got places to go. I took the mission confident I could source it out and even the carriers i find are all only having 5-10 pcs
If you just go out and look for hotspots, it will take you forever. Few systems have planets with rings, even fewer have icy rings, even fewer have any hotspots whatsoever, even fewer have bromellite hotspots, let alone multiple overlapping ones. It's like searching a needle in a haystack. And the game gives you no tools to make that search easier. The in-game codex is useless for this. That's why everyone ends up going to the same places. Without its wikis and crowdsourced data mining tools like EDMC etc., ED is virtually unplayable. Unlocking Bill Turner requires 50 units of bromellite. On your own you would spend weeks finding a suitable hotspot, or you would spend weeks mining low-yield rocks instead. You'd get so bored, you'd have to quit playing or risk losing brain cells.
Some people say ED is a single player game at heart because its multiplayer netcode sucks. While the latter is certainly true, I'd challenge anyone to actually try and play this game alone, i.e. without external sites and information, without search engines for trade data, commodities and materials, without ship building tools etc. They would get nowhere. I don't know any other MMO where progress depends so much on community.

I still have people tell me they "enjoy" playing using only in-game tools and resources. I did that for the first few weeks I started playing way back when, but then you reach a point where you can't find anything you are looking for and then you try to decipher where things could be only to realize that many/most things in the game are not made with logic and reason in mind.

on my first yourneys, a year ago, i did much exploration and i found realy much nice systems. People just have to go a bit out of the bubble and don´t hang all the time there. I found Systems with nice overlapping hotspots and much rare stuff. A system with icy ring and overlapping bromellite hotspot i can tell you if you are interested to go on for mining and grinding. I can offer support on that, if u like send me a pm.
ps: i don´t like to go to places where everyone is going to, i prefer to explore and find new ones

yeah if you find good core mining, there's no benefit in sharing that info out.

i found very much good core mining locations for that and that, so should i share all my experinces and explorations, no. make your own. it´s realy not so hard to find some good locations, o dear.

Check out HIP 94805 Planet 8 - Icy World with Ice Rings and overlapping bromellit hotspot, not only bromellit.. it´s 500 Ly away from the bubble.
There are so much Asteriods and nearly all filled with bromellit, normal laser mining and in 1-2 hours i get usually my 192t of bromellit out of it.
I have placed my Carrier at 8 A at that System, open for all, all Services Running (only Black Market and Shipyard not) and free for repair and refuel.
Im for some week in Colonia so the Carrier stay there for some weeks.. it´s the only Station in that System, no other available, free for use for all..

UmbrellaCorpSilly question, but what is INV Succession? 'The rest of this interview is available to pilots arriving at the INV Succession in the Novas system.' I'm in Novas now and I see no object of any type with that name.
