A commander on the Elite Dangerous subreddit has shared their frustration with the current mining experience, citing difficulty in locating valuable materials such as platinum and painite. Despite using a Type-11 ship outfitted with a class 3 laser repeater and deploying prospectors across multiple metallic ring systems, the player reports spending hours without success. This highlights ongoing challenges in resource distribution or mining mechanics that may affect player strategies and satisfaction. The issue underscores the need for commanders to adapt their approaches or for potential future adjustments in resource availability.
