I don't think you understand what "civil unrest" is. This is a discussion about trivial video game mechanics, that's rapidly turning into salty hilarity.
High End materials gathering is quite simply worse than before...please acknowledge...

I disagree, after awhile I got the hang of it and was pretty efficient at gathering materials, people just supercruise and go afk until a signal source to pop out, I had developed strategies based on my observations (when to change system, go deep space/shipping lane), change direction from time to time, actually visit unwanted signal sources, etc. This was all based on hunches and I have no data to back it up except the results:
Interesting side effects. i didn't get myself onto Engineer since a while (already engineered most of my important ship) but sure this sound like RNG god didn't leave the place at all.
We just trade one god for another =)
Despite, a quick fix could be that trading mat would be 2 / 1 or 3 / 1 for the same grade level. In place of the 6 / 1 that looks like a joke since day 1. (sorry, I have to complain about ratio) but who use trading mat today at those rate exchange ? ... sure not me
I didn't know you could filter the mats like that. +1 rep.
Isn't trolling against the forum rules?
How many weeks did you spend on that result? It took me only a couple of hours spread over a few days to get that result with the new system. Try farming 700-800 Imp Shieldings within 2.5 hours in the old system.
Maybe there's a severity limit somewhere. But if trolling was completely squashed, these forums would be horribly boring.
Balance is a good thing.
No sir. I'm just pointing out how the pot's calling the kettle black.
Trivial unrest
Without wanting to come across all noobish or sensible (depending on your outlook) but isn't this a matter of FD adjusting the USS spawn rates / tables?
Have FD confirmed they are aware of the situ?
Are they planning to do something about it if it is actually broken?
I'm just saying....xmas holidays....everyone has been away and they probably wanted to see how 3.3 played out before touching anything other than obvious bugs, like with the BGS and inflated mineral core prices.
Are the USS spawn tables something that could auto adjust once the BGS is back in full swing? I honestly don't know that much about how they implement this feature.

Do you?
Plus, you should put your game style (you're playing it wrong) in a sig which would reduce the need to spam just about any thread you disagree with. Is one of the mods your brother or something? Not blocked as sometimes you do make me laugh.

Sorry D3rv1sh, I wasn't meaning your good self.
Seems likely it's that simple. The rates were probably upped in beta for testing purposes.
Exactly, and they have more important fish to fry, as Ed mentioned on the stream at lunchtime, there is a list of priority fixes they are working on. The material spawn rates aren't nearly as important.
I have seen a couple of posts saying that spawn rates of HGEs in general were higher in Beta.
Could well be that the rng regarding mat type vs faction state is intentional, however, actual mats spawned does not seem correct.
And there's an assumption here that the mechanic has not completely changed. I would hope not.
Yes, before ashenfox went off on a personal attack tangent I was one of the only posters actually trying to discuss game mechanics. Maybe you missed that.
Love the new conspiracy theory, I'll add it to the list.
Yes, more important things, for example stability, freezing, servers etc.
If we don't discuss issues, then they will not be aware, and they will not change.
The problem as clearly stated in the OP is not just spawn rates.

It was a simple question requiring a simple answer, but you carry on ducking it, I don't mind at all. I have been discussing the topic with everyone, only you cannot seem to get past my evil attacks and return to the discussion, I didn't realise I wounded you so. Sorry mate, can we get back on topic now?
