500T of various rubbish mined yesterday (250t per night) started the 10t of Painite today, so into the Pristine metallic ring A of Delkar 7, over 200 prospector limpts later, only 2 rocks containing it refined for 2t. Mining is soul crushingly boring, I'm off to Kuk to drop what I have already to Selene and look for something closer to her system to try and get the rest. Probably try LHS 2661 6 which is 52ly from Kuk.

Well LHS 2661 was different, 25 prospector limpets spent then one rock that provided 7T of Painite (plus whatever I had in the refinery from before). Then 3 rocks later enough for another 2. Thank god that's over, mining equipment sold never to be seen again.

LHS 2661 6 A ring is a recommended place from me to mine Painite.

I picked up 11t yesterday from the inner ring of Frey 4. It seemed like about 1 in 50 rocks. Took a while, but the rocks had a high concentration. I only had to find 5-6 of them.

You'll need that mining gear one more time to get bromelite for Bill Turner.

Bill Turner has nothing I need or can get from someone else.

Just looking at who I have unlocked, Martuuk, Dweller, Ryder, Farseer, Mcquinn, Cheung, Tani, Jean and Tarquin, the only two other that I am interested in are Vaterman for the G5 boosters and Palin for the G5 thrusters. The other 9 are surplus to me just like Ryder and Martuuk currently are.

I've always thought the engineers progression was poor, G5 upgrades should be for the last and hardest to unlock with the early and easy ones doing G1-G2 upgrades only.

I don't know if bromelite is a regular elsewhere, or even how hard it is to mine but I'm seeing it regularly as a mission reward in my current system.
