How do you get it? I've been on a gold rich planet with sentinels that are almost non-existent (they don't care about gold mining anyway) and one creature that likes to head butt me from time to time. I'm there for a while saving for a big ship upgrade. Suit is up to 32 slots.

Do you have the v1 pass yet?

And concerning mining, I was also mining the huge rocks of gold and emeril at first. Its a good method to gather units esp if your mining beam has the fast mining and longer cooldown upgrades. But I stumbled across a planet last night that had these weird pods that said "unknown" and had an action button on them. When you hit it it opens the pod up and they have these pearls in them. Once you take the pearl the sentinals come after you with the dog. All these pods were bundled up and I had a trading post computer building not far off. I could make a run and get 15+ pearls before jetting into the building and I was making 150,000+ units per run. I would open up as many as I could hold, then make the run an extract the pearls and running from the sents. It was so much faster than mining the rocks.

I ended up buying a ship with 26 slots for 2 million. I will continue to look for this planet to get the bigger ships. I wish you could eventually warp to any place you have previously discovered.
