condensed carbon

Anyone know the economy that sells condensed carbon ?
Its not hard to find but it takes alot of time and i cant find it for sale

If you have a freighter and frigates, landing on your support frigates gives up to 100 condensed carbon per frigate (depending how long since you last landed).

Thanks but i hoped i could buy 4000 or so cc from space stations, anyway i found out i can condense it from carbon ;)

You can't buy it, but you can duplicate it with oxygen in the medium or large refiners. Just put CC and oxygen in a refiner, and make all you want.

Usually I just generate it myself in one form or another. Sometimes I have Carbon Crystal saved up for one reason or another, or I use the refinery to inflate what I have already. The issue with making it yourself is needing Oxygen. But I do know that Oxygen can be sold in bulk at some stations, either at the market terminal or NPC ships that fly in.

Preferably you'd want several medium or large refineries on hand for that method.

multiple medium refineries speeds up the process for sure.

TBH my slightly lazy way of collecting basic resources is fit a fully upgraded Positron Ejector (6xS class upgrade mods) to a freighter and fly as low and slow as possible shooting up the terrain. I can get several thousand carbon and ferrite dust a minute that way shooting rocks and trees on the right planet. Just do not fly INTO the terrain it will stuff your shields in no time flat.

Far as I know, you take no impact damage. That was changed in a relatively recent update.

This issue I had with the shotgun approach was that it didn't mine as fast as I heard people say it mined. I was under the impression that it would be like some sort of vacuum cleaner, sucking up all the material in a few shots. I had a heck of a time clearing this one patch of stuff, taking 5-6 passes to fully destroy what was there so to get the bulk of the materials. My basic Photon Cannon had a better time taking out the larger stuff, but only while shooting the ground around it. It did net me a lot of basic level carbon, but not as fast as I would have hoped; which I then turned into Carbon Crystal in my refineries for later! So much fuel!
