Ok I need Chemical manipulators - I cant find them in Anarchy systems

Dibble · Apr 20, 2018

Hello CMDRs
Sorry if this is the wrong page to post this but all the advice I have followed does not work to find
chemical manipulators. I need them to get a corrosive resistant cargo rack.

Go to an Anarchy system - there now
I have looked at wreckage from signal sources in space. nothing
been down to planets with my SRV - nothing
blasted big and small ships and got nothing
even got myself a Interdictor and become a pirate in the system and interdicted every single big ship as I have an anaconda - nothing

Been to a low risk extraction site, now this was fun, it was more like a combat zone with no help at all
also my crew member upgraded from expert to master in no time at all.
Downside was I lost some of my neofabric insulation. but can get that back doing a mission.

System Eurybia
Gov: Anarchy
State: none

I have got some of them before ages ago from DAV's Hope, does this still have them to salvage?

Elite dangerous did suprise me tonight and made me swear out loud, I saw the price to sell large survey data cache here CR 222,389

Thanks
CMDR Dibble

Any combat aftermath USS can have those.

Edit: And sometimes Anacondas drop them. If you feel like fighting, you can get a few collector limpets and gain a good few materials that way.

Yes, Dav's hope still has them.

Kimosabe_X · Apr 20, 2018

Yes, you can find CMs still at Dav's Hope

I suggest getting pharmaceutical isolators and trading down.
Dav's is fine too, if you need to shore up all your lower manufactured mats.
But if you only need CMs, PIs are the way to go.

Yeah, I guess an Anarchy in Outbreak would give you a good chance. Do check out Combat Aftermath USSs too and I've had them drop from Encoded Emissions too.

If I could trade you some I would - I've got a few... HGE hunting is my current bugbear

thanks the signal sources do not have them at all now.

I did on a positive note unlock Liz Ryder the Engineer these last few days by becoming a Pirate and becoming friends with the blue mafia
she wanted 200T of land mines. to anyone wanting to unlock her.

happy days. off to Davs hope then
thanks for your help CMDR o7

My pleasure. Also, the data point has been fixed. You can rescan it for 3x data every relog.

riedquat... i think thats the spelling, there is a tourist beacon in an anarchy system. just go whaling there, it gives loads of nice stuff.

Dibble · Apr 20, 2018

ok thanks I will go over to a Outbreak Anarchy system next.

Thanks for your help.

I do pretty well with HGEs, fortunately.
I use independent outbreak systems looking for PIs.
Trading mats would be cool, but don't see it happening.

For those who like driving SRVs:

Surface POIs - the large ones with 3 Skimmers and a Stinger - have ChemManips around 1 in 3 times.
I've gotten all mine from those.

Dav's Hope the one stop shop for all your material needs ...
and don't forget to take all your unwanted materials to cash converters...... er material traders for that super once in a lifetime super trade in deal for any material you need ! (terms and conditions may apply).

MilkyBarKid · Apr 20, 2018

Actually fairly quick to get CM. Just go to outbreak system (with anarchy as best). Look for "Convoy" signal which will show up within 1000LS around planets. Drop in and kill the type 9's. Often drop 1 or 2 CM. Then relog and kill respawned type 9,s. 4-6 usually spawn.

Pity we cant trade Materials between players. or drop them in space and I drop a load of high value cargo such as platinum and use salvage limpets
to retrieve the chemical manipulators.

ok I will go there next. hope I don't get space man flu

I got plenty from combat aftermath in high security systems, they tend to spawn more in shipping lanes if that's any help.

CMDR_Goldor · Apr 21, 2018

Dav's Hope. No CMs dropped for me until after I scanned the data points and all of the message logs. I did like 9 laps before the scans and got at least 3 CMs on every lap after.

Also, this materials finder post was updated recently:

Good hunting

Vasco Sapien · Apr 21, 2018

I have recently myself been searching for them.
I went from 5 to 23 over a 5 hour search.

Find a High security sector... fly between the star and the largest star port in the system... bottom left will say SHIPPING LANE. Look for Combat aftermath SCC. go back and forth along the lane. (you will also find them in low grade emissions SCC).

They are rare.... so be patient.

you will also find tons of Chemical Processors and Chemical distillery which you can trade up at the Material trader.

CMDR Redcrest · Apr 21, 2018

I think I got a bunch of these from a power play combat site.

Drazkul · Apr 21, 2018

I usually get them by heading to an Anarchy systems Nav beacon and blowing up any and all ships that are cargo ships (T9/7/6, haulers, keelbacks etc.)

Well to be honest I blow up any ship there as they all give mats that are useful - if not directly then by being trade-able - and you can rack up data scans at the same time
