There are two ways I know of - there may be more - of changing colours in your cockpit.
The higher grades can be traded down for the lower grades at a materials trader which is a way more time efficient way to get a good stock of low grade materials.You guys are so deep in the "endgame" that you don't realize that there still are some noobs out there...
My material bins are empty.
At this point of time, I gladly take those grade one mats to unlock all the goodies I think I need. Then I'll worry about those higher grades.
Not that I would turn down some higher grade materials if they decide to show up, occasionally.
Raw mats you get by driving around and shooting any rock that shows up in your SRV's scanner and then collecting the fragments. You need to open cargo hatch and target each fragmet before driving over/through them for the SRV to collect them. If the planet/moon has volcanism, landing on/near GEO sites in Horizons and harvesting them is more efficient, and sure way to get the harder to get mats too.You guys are so deep in the "endgame" that you don't realize that there still are some noobs out there...

Just go to the Jameson crash site, sit there for 45 minutes and get all the scans you need.
It's deeply unfortunate that this is the only viable way to get data mined wake exceptions by trading the encoded materials obtained here for what you need.
Well, for any ship with size 5 FSD there's the superiour tech broker alternative...It's deeply unfortunate that this is the only viable way to get data mined wake exceptions by trading the encoded materials obtained here for what you need.
It's such a stupid thing to have to do I'm almost embarrassed by it - why am I playing a game that has this ridiculous relogging requirement to get ships with a jump range that makes the rest of the game playable.
Worse is, it's been this way for years and FDev STILL hasn't put into the game a sensible alternative.
I do apologise for this little outburst, parking behind the crashed Cobra for this really bugs me
I feel the same way. It is what it is.It's deeply unfortunate that this is the only viable way to get data mined wake exceptions by trading the encoded materials obtained here for what you need.

I was saying a few posts back I scanned 247 grade 1 encoded mats with a wake scanner to try and find the wake exceptions. Failed.Well, for any ship with size 5 FSD there's the superiour tech broker alternative...
As for those wake exceptions, I recall back in the day we used to park a nimble ship with wake scanner in (IIRC) distribution centre POI in (again IIRC) famine system and scan the wakes of ships jumping away. Sure it was tedious too.
I'd certainly be up for going to high tech systems and doing missions for scientists to get data mined wake exceptions as mission rewards. This would make some sense.
EDH.Wow, them gotta be bugged.
Was this in EDH or EDO?
Back before material traders you could only get datamined wake exceptions with a wake scanner. Back then it was about a 20 to 1 drop rate, tedious but doable. Maybe it’s worse now. I haven’t used the wake scanner for ages.
I have had 1 wake exception ever out of well over 300 encoded mats collected with a wake scanner. This was all in Horizons and since May last year when I started playing. I also saw 1 wake exception offered as a reward for Robigo Mines passenger mission, but I wasn't qualified to take that mission at the time.
The 1 in 20 drop rate would be too slow. To get 247 mats I must have scanned 82 wakes and would got just 4 wake exceptions out if it at that drop rate.
Yeah, not very quick, but doable.The 1 in 20 drop rate would be too slow. To get 247 mats I must have scanned 82 wakes and would got just 4 wake exceptions out if it at that drop rate.
Yes that's true. Forgot about thatYeah, not very quick, but doable.
4 DWE "drops" would yield 12 DWEs to the inventory though, methinks.
Well there used to be places in outbreak systems where a ton of ships were constantly jumping out and leaving wakes. You could do lots of scans without moving.The 1 in 20 drop rate would be too slow. To get 247 mats I must have scanned 82 wakes and would got just 4 wake exceptions out if it at that drop rate.
I saw YouTube videos on this but could never find any systems in famine. Can't remember any referring to outbreak. I can only guess something has gone wrong with wake scanning as I've never had the results from it claimed when trying other places like the Sirius Atmospherics Tourist beacon to get them.Well there used to be places in outbreak systems where a ton of ships were constantly jumping out and leaving wakes.

Doesn’t matter now.
