Heya,
I have issues getting kamacite ore. Got some in the first days, but now I got nothing for weeks. Didn't change anything at the subs. It comes from sectors V and Y, doesn't it? Just to be sure.

I've run into this also. I've had ships going to nothing but the 2 sectors known for Kamacite yet they've come back with everything but Kamacite. I've a whopping 13 ore since these areas were added in 4.5.

Kamacite Ore does indeed exclusively drop from the Rimilala Shelf (V) and Flickering Dip (Y). We've speculated in this thread that the minimum requirement for the item is around 135 Surveillance (at least, it has been the most consistent so far). The drop rate is on the rarer side, but having either a faster boat or a hauling boat to hit the zones usually yields more drops over time. Like I mentioned above, a shiptype that I might suggest looking into would be a CWWC ship due to their tendency to explore two anomalies per zone during their 3 day, 11 hour voyages.
