Second CMDR Mining Low Temperature Diamonds Story for Elite Dangerous, how to clear save, go from 1000 credits to a Fleet Carrier and beyond.
2020-06-15T0220 was dead tired after playing all this time. Did some sub surface deposit mining, latest sell was 300 million something, final credit balance 685 million heh.
2020-06-15 Woke up and straight to mining. Did first 224t load of LTDs very easily. It was done 1005hrs.
2020-06-15T11:01:17Z sold my first load 211t and budget now 927.3m
2020-06-15T11:27:15Z arrived second time to the ring, fired first prospector limpet.
2020-06-15T12:17:23Z cargo hold full, refinery bins full. HOOYAH!
We have new best selling station Lu Pao/Swift Vision. Not sure what happened to the previous LHS 154a/Fung Station best sell, guess there was some daily background simulation tick, dunno. I'm using TradeDangerous to get LTD market prices.

Didn't find a carrier right away so took a short lunch break and shut elite down.
2020-06-15T14:55:57Z elite back up, lets find that carrier...
2020-06-15T15:44:00Z docked at Feyonman L00-G8L, finally found a carrier scheduled to go Lu Pao system.

2020-06-15T16:12:11Z purchased Lakon Type-9 Heavy. Started to outfit it for sub surface deposit mining. edsy.org Lakon Type-9 Heavy Sub Surface Deposit Mining Specifications.
2020-06-15T16:28:28Z departed towards LTD mining system. Arrived and docked to one of the fleet carriers to purchase limpets.
2020-06-15T16:58:47Z arrived to LTD ring, started prospecting... this will take a while
2020-06-15T17:55:41Z had 227t of LTDs in cargo, so took considerably longer than in type-7.
2020-06-15T18:36:24Z ran out of sub surface deposit missiles
Got 409t of LTDs before the missiles ran out, still 213 limpets left so I could have gone much longer mining if I had basic mining lasers.
Checked TradeDangerous LTD best sell locations which were:
