Indeed, but regardless my point was they will be concentrated on fixing the network freezes and crashes etc before the problems I frivolously and shamefully called "spawn rates".
High End materials gathering is quite simply worse than before...please acknowledge...

I could live with that actually as a band-aid.
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.
I haven't ducked anything, I've opted out of restating an opinion to a poster who already replied to it with salty personal rubbish. I'll happily carry on discussing the actual game mechanics with people who want to do that, whilst laughing at you and the usual bevy of ignore function failures.

I haven't had any trouble finding stuff. HGEs and mission targets have been producing well, and raw mats are easy to find at geo sites.
I missed it too. Perhaps I blinked?
I don't see you discussing anything with anyone, I see you crying like a little girl about me calling you stupid (which I even edited and took back) at the beginning of the thread and pointedly not taking part and citing 'personal attacks' since then.
Boring...grow a pair and discuss, or block me, or I will you.

Ditto. Finding systems in certain states is a breeze if you are in a PMF affiliated squadron as the allegiance tab shows system state and has a galmap quick link.
Shush now, grownups talking.
In certain states it is a breeze. It's the other states that are the problem.
Let me try a different approach. I apologise for being a bit aggressive with you at the beginning of the thread, as much as I did honestly believe (and still do) that you are just playing devil's advocate for your own entertainment, it was still unnecessary. I didn't expect you to take it so badly either, so lesson learned there. I thought we had a better understanding over the years.
So...can we talk lseriously now, cos if you're just trolling as I now 60% believe, I want to at least lead you down a path from which you can't return, then hit you with a closer. Or you genuinely believe there's no problem here (which I would find astonishing, despite your confession that you don't g5 your stuff, I assume you understand that most of us do?), and I need you to understnd why it IS a huge problem, so you aren't working against us and the greater good. k? Peace?
Ah, so your solution is: Ignore problems and use a workaround.
You should really work in IT support.
User: Mr. Stigbob my mouse isn't working anymore since the latest updates.
Stigbob: Mine is working fine. You are doing it wrong, use your keyboard instead.
Don't be daft.
What you're supposed to do is go to places like the Jameson crash site or the Bug Killer crash site, mindlessly re-log there for a couple of hours and then scuttle off to a mat-trader to swap the stuff you have for 1/6th of the stuff you actually need.

Well, what if you're not?
Also, farming G5 mats from other system states and then trading them for the material you -actually- need is a workaround in the most literal sense. If the HGE system isn't broken currently then why do this workaround, and not just farm the mats you need directly, as promoted ingame with specific descriptions on where to find the materials?
I did that as well, got my Jameson farming technique down to 3 seconds per Adaptive Encryptor over an average. That is now the single most efficient data to farm, of any grade. You cannot get any other data faster (I have a ridiculous fast PC, it takes me 10 seconds to log out and in when the server is on point, longer recently). As a side effect I've become so skilled with the turret, just swing it around, stop on target every time. The skimmers are in trouble. lol.

I had thought it was understood that these mechanics were never intended to support people who want to Engineer entire Wings, let alone Fleets of ships in a short time span. You did say ships, plural.
Have you (legitimately) considered that perhaps the problem is less with the game, and more your desire/mentality, or your process in general?
You've played World of Warcraft, so you know what happens when they introduce a new Reputation that has goodies - it's generally time gated, and you literally can't go faster no matter how much you might want to. Be thankful that no such thing really exists in this game. In fact, this game allows you an unlimited number of hoes that you can go row with, should you choose to do that to yourself.
Have you also (legitimately) tried using the Galaxy map, instead of trying to short-cut with a third-party site? I would recommend doing so, and comparing the results that you get. Stigbob has mentioned twice now about being part of a PMF, is that not worth looking at? I have never taken part in that, so I don't know.
Did you end up getting the Midnight paint jobs that you asked for? They were available for a time, and I made a thread specifically to let you know that (in case you were away/weren't aware), but it got pushed down by the usual crap pretty quickly.

During the beta, you couldn't shake a stick in any random system without hitting a HGE with it. It was an insane number of HGEs and anybody was aware that it probably would change. (And still there were enough bug reports and complaints about it. )
What nobody was able to test was the actual distribution based on states. Just like when the patch landed, the beta also had no states. That's not surprising, as the BGE there also moved to the new system. So due to a lack of "chaos" in the BGS system and thus due to a lack of the possibility to test, this aspect went life without being tested and thus without any feedback on it.
Only now we can actually see how the system works in connection to the reworked BGS. Thus now i would wonder: is this intended? I doubt so. If it's not, i'd expect a patch for it in the next time.
If we all add Stiggy as a friend ingame, maybe we can watch where he finds his HGE's, coz I sure as heck need assistance. It is almost as bad as trying to figure out what wifey means when I'm supposed to be a mind reader and all I can get is 'fine'.
I despise the jameson crash site. I wish he couldve crashed somewhere more condusive to SRV's. I always get the right hump there.

Is Galmap accurate/reliable for system states?
If it shows for example, Civil War, will the controlling faction be in Civil War?
I did get my paintjobs, thanks, and I made a thread thanking the devs for that, a couple of kind people also PMed me the news, thanks for your efforts. Shame the mamba is such a piece of crap lol. Anyway, regarding gameplay techniques. Yes, I have considered what you say, or rather, I'm gaming for so many years that those considerations are always automatic. I can see what the logic was here in terms of the way they 'tried' to improve the process of finding HGEs and balance that ease out with some additional RNG, so it wouldn't be too easy. But combined with a very unfortunate BGS reset, those who pvp and do a lot of theorycrafting (for the benefit of this community, I do post a lot of theorycrafting stuff), to be able to put in a reasonable amount of work (I was unhappy but I could live with the old system, it was laborious, but I Accepted these things shouldn't be free) now find themselves in the unvcomfortable position of running out of high end materials, being forced to farm endlessly to get enough for the crappy trade rate, because the ones you want are now not just difficult, but near impossible to get. You just have to hope you get lucky and go to a system that has a faction in outbreak, and that that faction owns the one or if you're really lucky TWO HGEs that MIGHT spawn. It sucks hard and is below the expectations of quality for this type of game.
