What is your best crystal sector so fare?

[Xhawk]

I ask this now that i earned about 30million in Argon Prime .. some say xeon space have much more rare crystal but never tested it. meed a carrier to wipe of those at gate first if i want to try that.

my large Nvidium miner is full, sweet 1 million 1 load .. soon no need for crystal mining :) got silicon large miner and 1 large gas miner for each type of gas.. next is 1 ore and 1 ice large miner.. Mining corp getting there...

First round with this game i went all in on tradeships(large) not so profitable as miners for sure

this space of xeon look great.. no ship damaging space and a sweet ore belt.. not to many enemys so fare .. lets hope on White crystal harvest day!

problem is that asteroids here do not spin as much, forceing me to F3 spin them to check for crystals

Faulty Logic and the one behind it-spent there 2hrs and got crystals worth 23M.Use supercruise mode to escape from enemies and fly through mines-in that case it will not be triggered.Search for asteroids on the edge of minefields,and get crystals from them.But dont fly too close to mines(you can cross minefields using high speed mode Shift+3)

i tried gas mining but the ship was blown up. i dont recall a notification about an attack. im thinking it died in the void. how can i prevent numbnuts from going to the void?

What about the unique red crystal asteroid in the far north-east xenon sector?
it's roughly 100km from the anomaly over there. I found it once, but never returned.
can it be mined / shot for any profit?

will try this area.. i got my missile frigate as base and a heavy fighter to mine crystal with . the heavy frig can take some hostile ship damaging zone for a while.. i ran past alle the xeons at the gate:) worked fine.. they not chase me fare.

Glad there is a normal space around this hostile enviroment .. ill tell what i find of crystals

you can do that 1 sec into the game.. just fly to asteroid belt and start mining those blinky crystals :) (do not shoot the asteroid, point and shoot the crystal and HOLD O key for least loss)

Bandannite give 850-1150c each
Menelaene give 8500-11500 each
Aquilite give 17000-23000 each
Mitonene give 25500-34500 each
Burnite give 200 000-300 000 each :)

start mining the snake like belt(red) at Arong Prime
I get best price most of the time at trade station sector over argon prime (Hatikvah Choise 1)

yay 12 burnite in 1 crystal on a gigantic asteroid :) ..many mitonene and aqyuilite and more (10 crystal) burne .. +++

Argon prime.. not sure if game fix spawn stuff on other games but you can check this area

Question: does crystal respawn or grow back ? myself think not.. i placed a beacon next to a burnite one time. even the rock was gone later, was empty small asteroid

I've yet to give crystal mining in Xenon sectors a proper go, I did spend an hour in one of them searching for crystals, but all I got was 40 or so purples and 1 orange :/ The asteroids are really far apart too, travelling between them was a boring, arduous task! Had better luck and more variation on the Argon Prime snake, could just be my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ luck though :)

Sadly not, I found and shot at it for a couple of minutes, didn't do anything though!

I believe they do, but not specifically in the same places on the same asteroids. Their locations will be randomised every time. I think it's determined by leaving and re-entering the sector and not based on a timer, but I could be wrong.

Heretic's End has a huge minerel field where it almost feels like everywhere i look are blinking lights from crystals.

i started click F3 twice and rotate em to see if there is more then bandannite on it.. i skip bandannite... just made 20 million in short time.. lucky find and sold half the type to pirate station at max price .. and rest to argon trade station system over argon prime.. max price there to :) ...those 2 station always give good price it looks like

Faulty Logic I for sure the area right where the astroïd belt crosses the highway, on the side of the gate towards Holy vision, the area lights up like a frekking X-mas tree... blinks everywhere, tons of yellow, orange and even a few white crystals, easly 10 mil / hour.

Nvidium is just a tease, nobody will want it after a while and it will be worthless. Crystalls are always in demand.
