HGE are normally found in deep space, not in shipping lanes or near planets or stations or is this something new?
They did spawn occasionaly near shipping lanes and planets, not something new but since the most reliable way to get them is to go into deep space...

I have been finding them, and yes, I found some HGE in shipping lanes and close to the main star.
I think we need to start re-evaluating a lot of farming methods.

Yup, found a fair few HGE's since 3.0.
I've seen a handful of them in the past couple of days in shipping lanes. They're definitely there.
I still think they should spawn with the type already identified, and with a direct scan revealing more info.

Anacondas and Clippers now spawn some HGE mats in high resources areas. Yesterday I got 1 chemical manipulator, 2 military grade alloys, 1 core dynamic composites, 1 proto radiolic alloy and 1 exquisite focus crystal in 90 minutes of playing. It was in a hirez site near Somerset Station in I Carinae. And I also made 8 million credits with the KWS.
Keep tripping over them, yes.

So far, I've spent a while scouting for High Grade USS. I only ever found a single one on a Shipping Lane.
Spawn rates in Deep Space seem unchanged to me. I was still easily able to roam in SC for >30 Mins without seeing a single one.
Since my brain can't take more than ~45 mins of watching Paint Dry in one Session before it risks to implode from boredom, I try to minimize my Exposure to this self-mutilating RNG game mechanic though.
I'd seriously love to give my NPC Crew(s) a Ship of mine and pay them darn good Credits to do that job for me instead. They'd be perfect for that type of robotic, crappy job.

If you can’t find High Grade USS’, or USS’ in general, after 3.0 you are simply not doing it right, or you are just extremely unlucky (which is totally possible). I have spend 95% of my time since 3.0 to gather materials, and the spawnrate has been increased everywhere. Literally everywhere.
As an example I found 48 Millitary Grade Alloys and 81 (yes 81!) Millitary Supercapacitors yesterday in the same system - in 3 hours! The best I have ever seen by far. It’s an extreme example, and I don’t expect it to be THAT good again any time soon, but it WAS in a system with extremely high population. Remember when you are looking for High Grade USS’ that higher population = higher spawnrate of USS’. And when you find the USS’ there are more materials in them compared to before 3.0. All materials I have looked for in USS’s are now easier to get.
The same with planet prospecting, Dav’s Hope, material rewards in missions and everything else I have seen.
It’s definitely way easier to find materials now - as it should be with the new engineering system.
There’s only one material/data that I have searched for which spawn rate seems to be the same - not worse but the same - compared to before 3.0, and that’s Datamined Wake Exeptions.

“I mostly follow this guys guides: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qs5hXr2DM_AX0lUOjKJPQ, with my own small variations. I set my filter to only show signal sources and stars. Mark the main star - and start cruising around it in a distance of about 650ls - 900ls. Speed should be 3c - 4c. Stay on the same level as the orbit lines. Then just wait. When I have harvested a USS I speed up to about 15c - 20c for just 5 seconds or so - and then again down to 3c - 4c. If I haven’t found anything in about 5 minutes I speed up again for a moment - and then 3c - 4c again. It works very well for me.”

Exactly, but you should always add that higher population = higher spawnrate of USS’. It means a lot.
