When I scout out looking for ore, I seem to find areas that are very low. Is there some cap to the percentage of the ore? It's hard to harvest ore when the best spots I find are 25%, with 35% being hard to find for me.
Thanks for the help

the regular stuff(non JTL ore) is usually thought to be capped around mid 70s. thats non official. but really if you find a spot in 50s,60s take it.
the JTL stuff is just like any other stuff. i found a 97% spot for it a few weeks ago. and it last alot longer so far.
but general ore is in lower % than most other minerals.

I have the same problem. Starsider's got some pretty good ore right now, and the best I could find was 45%... and that happened to be like right on top of a POI 
But I've heard that it comes in small concentrations.

It seems that without fail, the best concentrations of ore (or any resource for that matter) will center in the middle of a player city...Not necessarily true, I know, but sometimes it sure feels that way. lol At any rate, I find that a 50% - 60% find of ore is usually about as far as you'll need to look. Not that higher concentrations don't exist, but if you don't want to search every square inch of every planet, then take your find if it maxes out at these concentrations. If you go lower, make sure it's a good resource. I won't plant on anything less than multiple >900 on any resource less than 50%.

agree with zan. 50-60 is probably the best your going to find unless you search alot.

If you just need any old ore, I strongly recommend looking for the JTL (fermionic siliclastic) ore.
It only spawns on one planet at a time but it's available in really high concentrations andit seems to stay in spawn longer.

I find that www.swg-iss.com or www.swgcraft.com are the best places to find out where it's currently spawned.

naboo on the valcyn server is haveing spawns of scalistic or i forget the name but there is only two that are in the 98 percent range all over the planet the stats are good for arch too, I put 30 harvisters on them all 94%+ any arch on the valcyn server should put down there harvisters.
