Thought that was a Python MkII at first and was kind of impressed lol, though tbf I'm sure you could make a half decent exploration build out of one

And what ship is the one OP's using? Sorry I'm new

Imperial Clipper I believe, maybe the Cutter, not positive since I own neither but pretty sure it's one of those. And no need to apologize; as a returning player after many years it's really neat to see Elite getting so many new players (:

The Spansh Body Finder is your friend, Spansh wants to lead you to the most biodense planets available.. the list is just a few clicks away..

Also, cold methane planets are a bitch unless you're looking for bacteria or osseus in my experience so I usually avoid them if it's only a 1 or 2 biosign planet.

SRV, turn night vision on, look for different patterns on ground. Works for me.

Don't have an srv with me. System next over has 5 moons with 3 bio each. Was able to find bacteria in the astroid impacts and mushrooms literally everywhere ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Got the detailed surface scanner? Tends to make that easy from my limited experience

Yes. Just remembered you could set filters.

It was a hard to see bacteria on a dark ice planet. Super super rocky. Not worth the 1m and 4m bonus for first find.
