Outcrop

Outcrops are a source of "Element" type Materials. They can be found on landfall worlds and detected with an SRV's Wave Scanner. When they are destroyed by weapons fire from a ship or SRV they explode into chunks of materials, which can be collected using a ship or SRV's Cargo Scoop.

There are 4 types of Outcrops:

Bronzite Chondrite drops "very common" and "common" elements. These are represented on the wave scanner as two close bars, near the bottom.
Mesosiderite drops "rare", "common" and "very common" elements. These are represented on the wave scanner as 1 bar, close to the bottom.
Metallic Meteorites drop "very rare", "rare", "common" and "very common" elements. These are represented on the wave scanner as two fuzzy bars, close to the bottom.
Outcrops come in two varities, one of which can drop "very rare" elements. These are represented on the wave scanner as two reasonably solid lines, close to the bottom.
