Smear Campaign Plan Drought

Hi,

Been unlocking on-foot engineers for my Bubble Alt:
  • Was happily collecting SCPs before the update (5 out of 8).
  • Haven't seen a single drop since then.
  • Tried the usual Med/Anarchy/Tourists sites
  • Tried Extraction sites as recommended in EDMH.
  • Nothing over 3no evening sessions.
  • Can't find any fleet carriers selling on Inara.

Anybody having the same poor luck or any bright ideas?

Nice challenge idea! Using the correct rules for where they spawn got me one on settlement #3 (y)

I have found the EDMH app to be helpful in identifying good systems to find what you are looking for. Worked right away for SCP's. A bit off topic, but when I went to the settlement it recommended for opinion polls (Rahman's Spa in the Panik system), the guards immediately started shooting at my ship as I was preparing to land. I was in a clean state and neutral to the controlling faction. This is the first time I have encountered this and was wondering if anyone knows why this would happen? Thanks

Were the lights on at the settlement? Scavs will do that.
Also possible for a CZ.

After some research I found that the faction associated with that settlement was in a state of civil unrest, which I believe puts it in an abandoned state so it was a bunch of scavs shooting at me. The fact that the only lights I saw were flashlights and the scary scav music started playing when I arrived should have clued me in. :oops:

So, land nearby, deploy SRV, take out scavs, power up settlement, loot, power down settlement, super cruise a short distance away and repeat.

I prefer to just blast them with missiles from my ship, but as I am just grinding for opinion polls I may go back and try that if the sneaking around approach doesn't work.

Regarding SCP's, does anyone know if both the settlement and the system need to be anarchy for them to drop, or just the settlement is enough?
