Is that good or bad?
Damn! Have you any idea how many USSes I need to search to find 6 apples? This is outrageous.
Obligatory: It's a beta so the numbers could go up or down depending on feedback.
It is, isn't it? 
Especially if you think, that with the new engineering system it will not be the main concern to get those rare materilas for the final G5 roll, but to obtain crazy amounts of basic materials to go through G1 until G5.
Let's say I want to engineer 4 multicannons with overcharged.
I needed three rolls per 1 Nickel to get form G1 to G2 (3x4) = 12 Nickel for 4 multicannons.
Then I needed SEVEN rolls per 1 Nickel and 1 Conductive Component form G2 to G3 (7x4) = 28 Nickel and (7x4) 28 Conductive Components.
So to finish only one G2 overcharged mulitcannon I needed: 10 Nickel and 7 Conductive Components.
For 4 multicannons with maxed G2 overcharged these sums up to: 40 Nickel and 28 Conductive Components.
edit:
so the mat-trader doesn't even feature elements.
edit edit: was at the wrong mat-trader. There are three types of them, one for salvage, one for elements and one for data. Of courese they are not all in the same system...
But you can trade 1 military supercapacitator for 81 Grid Resistors

Why not just get g5 and not bother with the trader at all, since it doesn't seem worth the hassle? Shame I'm not a huge fan of going out of my way to mess around with the Engineers. I generally have other things I'd rather be doing. YMMV
I am surprised by drama post without any information so late after beta release.
For sure, and easier to use g3 mats to get those g4 mats instead of g2.
The cost seems a bit *off*, that's all.
As someone said: "Hope dies last, but it does die."
