Name - [Distance
Ls, Mass, Density]		 Notes
32.4 LFT 65 4A [1761.0 Ls, 3.7e+11 MT, 3.8e+10] Uninhabited. A white dwarf system so watch out when entering the system.
51.0 LHS 2661 6A [2156.0 Ls, 3.3e+11 MT, 3.4e+10] Uninhabited. A white dwarf system so watch out when entering the system.
83.1 Delkar - M - 7A [2802.0 Ls, 3.8e+11 MT, 4.5e+10] Only the planetary station stocks Collector Limpet Controllers and no A rated ones at that so you'll have to kit up elsewhere. I have mined this ring several times and alway found it to be a bit dark. However, with the new night vision this should not be a problem.
92.8 Algol A4A [350.0 Ls, 7.4e+09 MT, 7.4e+08] Pret-ty. An uninhabited system within the bubble.
100.9 HR 8514 - L - 5A [2533.0 Ls, 7.5e+09 MT, 8.2e+08] Beware an Anarchy system controlled by a pirate faction. There is a large Ocellus Starport, Hennen Station and an outpost, Coleman Hub, near to the target ring. Hennen Station has a great stock of mining equipment.
104.3 20 Ophiuchi - H - 6A [5647.0 Ls, 3.4e+10 MT, 7.5e+09]
106.9 Njikan - M - 4A [2055.0 Ls, 2.5e+11 MT, 2.5e+10] The only station (a large one at that) is Smeaton Port on planet 3A although it does have a top-notch selection of mining gear and a healthy market.
109.0 Frey - H - 4A [2693.0 Ls, 7.5e+11 MT, 7.5e+10] Garratt Station, a large industrial station, is near to the ring and has a very good selection of mining equipment and a healthy market. The PMR is extremely large

115.4 LHS 5180 - L - 1A [2167.0 Ls, 3.2e+11 MT, 4.4e+10]
116.2 Hyades Sector DB-X d1-112 1A [2372.0 Ls, 1.6e+11 MT, 3.6e+10]
2A [2399.0 Ls, 3.5e+10 MT, 3.6e+09] 		An uninhabited system within the bubble. The two PMR planets are co-orbiting each other. One of the PMR planets is a water world
117.7 Col 285 Sector OS-T d3-148 3A [4930.0 Ls, 3e+11 MT, 4e+10] An uninhabited system within the bubble. Great for peaceful mining. Close to Deciat, 19 Ly.

123.1 HIP 13644 - M - 1A [833.0 Ls, 4.7e+11 MT, 4.7e+10] An industrial system near to Hi-Tech system of Diaguandri but get your mining gear at the latter at Ray Gateway (15% price reduction on all gear) which has a pretty good mining gear stockage.
123.2 HIP 8865 - H - 2A [4667.0 Ls, 4.4e+11 MT, 5e+10] There is a large station, Solvyev Orbital, on the co-orbiting gas giant of the PMR planet. It has a very good selection of mining equipment and a healthy market.

There is also an outpost near to the ring but it has no Commodities Market or Outfitting. The High-Tech system of Jonai is nearby.
125.8 G Scorpii - H - B4A [24058.0 Ls, 0e+00 MT, NaN] A bit of a trek (circa 24000 Ls out) but this is compensated for by a large industrial station, Roberts Ring that orbits the PMR planet. This station has an excellent selection of mining equipment.
127.6 Ceti Sector CL-Y d57 AB9A [2170.0 Ls, 7e+10 MT, 8.2e+09]
127.8 HR 5048 1A [568.0 Ls, 3.2e+11 MT, 3.8e+10]

6A [946.0 Ls, 9.6e+10 MT, 9.6e+09] 		Lots of ringed planets, and many RESs of all shapes and sizes if you fancy some bounty hunting. Ringed planets 3 and 4 have a beautiful vistas as they are a co-orbital pair and you can see the other in the background.
133.4 Badjarans - L - AB1A [536.0 Ls, 6.1e+09 MT, 7.9e+08]
134.8 Ross 919 1A [1034.0 Ls, 5.7e+11 MT, 5.8e+10]

136.4 Hajong - M - 2A [1878.0 Ls, 1.8e+11 MT, 1.8e+10] Orbiting the PMR is a large industrial station that buys all PMR commodities Crampton Dock. It seems to stock all mining equipment as well.
136.5 Omicron Capricorni B - H - B1A [11508.0 Ls, 7.1e+10 MT, 2.8e+10]
137.2 Gurus - H - CD4A [106230.0 Ls, 3.1e+12 MT, 3.4e+11] A single ring ideal for beginners and a big one at that. A large Hi Tech station Dantec Hub orbits the PMR, it offers good prices for all PMR commodities. The ring and station are 106000 Ls out from the entry star though so it is a bit of a trek.
137.3 20 Arietis - M - 3A [3175.0 Ls, 3.4e+11 MT, 4e+10]
138.0 HIP 28122 - H - ABC1A [2052.0 Ls, 4e+11 MT, 4.8e+10] There is a planetary colony with services nearby. Pirate faction seems to have a strong powerbase here (circa 10% influence)

139.3 18 Camelopardalis C1A [91455.0 Ls, 2.6e+11 MT, 2.6e+10] Es espectacular, well worth scanning. This system is in the bubble but uninhabited. It has a neutron star, a terraformable planet that has its own asteroid belt, and finally, a type 4 gas giant that has a pristine metallic ring. My system scan netted 240000 CR. There are many Metal Rich planets and all the moons around the PMR gas giant are metal rich
139.4 HIP 90004 - L - 2A [657.0 Ls, 4e+11 MT, 5.3e+10]

145.8 HIP 14922 - M - 3A [1981.0 Ls, 1.3e+11 MT, 1.8e+10]
145.9 HIP 75446 - M - 1A [1276.0 Ls, 3.9e+10 MT, 1.2e+10] Only one planet, with a single orbiting station (Crowley station, but it is a mining station and sells just everything equipment-wise required for mining: all collector and prospector limpet controllers, mining lasers and refineries (excepy the 3A). There is also a couple of mining planetary stations (one of which does sell the 3A refinery)
145.9 Pegasi Sector CL-X c1-17 1A [1269.0 Ls, 1.2e+12 MT, 6.4e+11] A single ring and a whopper at that. With multiple Painite and Serendibite hotspots.

148.0 Maidareldi - L - 1A [233.0 Ls, 1.4e+12 MT, 1.6e+11] This is a big (single) ring, 133000 km of pristine metallic bling, the biggest in the bubble I think, although the standard system image provided makes it look small. It is also a single ring close that is close to the arrival star, ideal for beginners.
148.0 Visto - L - A2A [2599.0 Ls, 1e+11 MT, 2.5e+10]
A3A [2482.0 Ls, 6.8e+11 MT, 1.1e+11] 		The 2 pristine ringed planets form an orbiting pair. One of the ringed planets has a planetary station nearby called Makeev Bastion, it has limited mining outfitting options (you'll have to bring your own gear with you) and no commodity market but can have beautifiul views of the ringed red gas giant that it orbits. Has a compromised Nav beacon.

150.1 Hambo - L - AB2A [552.0 Ls, 2.4e+11 MT, 2.7e+10]
150.3 HIP 66754 - M - BCDE4A [52750.0 Ls, 2.2e+11 MT, 2.6e+10] Near the edge of the bubble. In system Jendrassik Settlement has preety good mining equipment except that the biggest refinery it stock is a 2B. This PMR is around 84000 Ls away from this station and the entry star so expect a bit of a trek to get there.
150.6 Ochosag - M - 1A [2164.0 Ls, 1.7e+11 MT, 1.7e+10]

  • You have to scan the Rings themselves to determine if they have any hotspots but any known hotspots are listed in the notes.
