Engineers Chemical Manipulators - non existant

Fire Dragon

I have been killing literately 100's of ships, traders, combat, small, large and over 3 days I have not had 1 Chemical Manipulators. The only thing manipulated is me playing this waste of god damn time run around. I have not even started looking for Polonium that I also need...and this is just for a grade 3 upgrade.
I have looked at mission boards and never seen one giving them either. maybe you have and can point me in the right system?

No game should be so time intrusive that is es off the people that play it, this is VERY bad game dynamics. Sure I don't mind looking and finding things but 3 days and nothing    .

Anyway enough of the moan, I would REALLY appreciate peoples knowledge on finding these, please before I go mad.

Many thanks FD

Collect a bunch of them while picking up Cigars for Hera and doing mission in between the spawn time of the rare. Also some polonium and other rare stuff, mission boards are always a good place to get rare mats for me.

Haulers T6/T7/T9/Hauler/Adder, they really aren't particularly rare you shouldn't have difficulty picking them up if you find a system to legitimately kill cargo ships, be that bounty hunting in regular space, anarchy or RES anarchy etc.

I found a number of them by going to a nav beacon in an anarchy and taking out type 7s, type 9s and orcas.

I have killed MANY MANY MANY T6, T7, T9, Haulers etc in Anarchy systems, I mean MANY of them, not 1 Chemical Manipulator!! What am I doing wrong???

You Guys aren't mistaking my post for chemical processors, or chemical distillery are you? cos I got loads of them

cant be sure of this, but wondering if they have to be dangerous and above ranked T9s (and other haulers) to get them to drop. Failing that, i got some in USS by spending ages flying up and down a shipping lane :(

Don't know what else to say, really is frustrating when something is dropping well for other people, and its not dropping for your self.

I find a lot of them in investigating USS-Signals. All the wreckage-signals can have them. Search there in multiple systems and you will have more luck.

60% of them I looted in Nav beacon. 40% on USS and 30% on missions. I just pick materials that I will need in the future and I'll just be surprised I've already got many of them.

Eh, I suspect bugs. One day I'm getting what I expected outta T6, 7, Keelbacks. Next I'm getting them off Asp Scouts(!) and FdLs.

I can confirm this. I it seems when you enter an instance a roll is made in what type of ship drops the rare mats. I've experienced this in CZs when looking for Polymer Capacitors which drop from authority ships and military ships. In one high CZ instance only vultures would drop them, but when I went to low CZ in the same system other ships dropped them. I don't think it was a difference between low and high, I think it was predetermined as soon as I entered an instance. I've noticed something similar when looking for USSs in a system, sometimes a system will 95% only contain Encoded and Degrades signals, or just Degraded signals and then the same system not long after only contains convoys and distress calls.

I must have sinned against the FD gods at some point
