Can't rep you enough. I've been led to believe that only ++ and +++ HIGH security bases provided MEF (I have never seen MEF as a mission reward in a month). After watching videos of people casually wiping out all the defenses at bases without even losing their shields, I tried base assaults. I think they've adjusted this or something, because I just got blown out of the air repeatedly by HS bases. The one time I managed to take them all out, by the time I landed and got in my SRV and started looking for the six(!) datapoints required, and the defenses came back to life. I'll give it one last try with this info, so I'm hoping for better results. FYI. HIP 53537 Fidalgo Survey is an easy one to get without having to attack the base (3 DP in a triangle around the base and one more on top that you have to jump around a barrier to get to). I went back a week later and it's still says "data package already acquired", so no, they don't regen after a week. BTW, nice game mechanic, FD. Lock essential upgrade materials away in impossible to get to rehealing fortresses, and make us search a hundred to find the few where it's actually attainable (1 at a time-if you're lucky). Thanks FD, thanks a lot, really fun...weeee....

I'm finding high amounts of Cracked Industrial Firmware in various bases in the Kabijao system.
Cracked Industrial FW and Modified Consumer FW are actually not hard to find. I've gotten mine from a couple of ++ bases, Encoded Signal Sources, and missions. I've been looking for over a week for MEF.
