Elite Dangerous: Double Painite Mining Guide

In my experience mining Painite, the best spot I can give is Omicron Capricorni B B1 Ring. There are other places where to Mine Painite. I recommend you check out this link to find the nearest system to you with the double hotspots. http://edtools.ddns.net/miner This tool tells you where the double hotspot is, best place to sell, etc.

Regarding the double hotspot in Omicron Capricorni B, there is a bug where it doesnt show the hotspot after scanning the Ring.

The image above shows you where is the best spot within the double hotspot to mine. Just simply fly in and you’ll be finding Painite everywhere you go.

1.For Hardpoints, you’ll need a mining laser. I recommend you get a 2D fixed Mining laser and fit
atleast 3 of them on your ship.

2. For Core internals, I can recommend getting A power plant, distributor, thrusters. Power plant and distributor for better weapons and engine capacity and thrusters for better maneuverability around asteroids (or even escaping bandits trying to steal your resource)

3. For Optional Internals, you’ll need a Refinery, atleast 2 collector limpet modules, a prospector limpet controller, detailed surface scanner and more than 200 cargo space. For the refinery, you choose what you want to get. The more collector limpet controllers you have means you’ll be collecting the resource you mined faster. The prospector limpet so you can scan asteroids and find that good rock with that sweet Painite. A detailed surface scanner so you can locate the double hotspots within the ring, and more than 200 cargo space so you have more room for limpets and so you have alot of storage for your Painite. The More Painite, the better.

When Mining Painite, there are a few things you’re looking for. Look for a rock with above 38% Painite. When you find it, release your collector Limpets and start firing your lasers at the rock. I recommend you look for rocks similar to the shape in the image.
