Just an idea.
As far as I know, and I kill a lot of stuff, G5 manufactured never drop from NPC's.
I assume this was because, back in the day, NPC's were mostly , and thus didn't warrant a good reward.
However, these days, with elite engineered NPC's, pirate lords, spec ops, captains, even ATR, could we get various G5 manufactured drops from them?
Conflict zone rewards are already actually pretty awful right now. But they're a fairly good place for lower grade manufactured, and if you bring a wake scanner along, you can also scan the retreating forces for more wake data.
But considering how dangerous they can be, the risk Vs reward doesn't really match.
And rather than bump up the credit rewards (which would cause more players to take part in wars they don't understand, which is a bad thing for BGS players), you could bump up the material rewards instead.
USSs allow us to find pretty much everything we need, but honestly, dropping from supercruise, which is mostly empty, to USSs, which are empty bar some bits floating about, isn't exactly a fun activity, but it's perfect for people who aren't interested in combat, and those folks should always get an option.
Yay? Nay?
