High Grade Emissions signal source, 1,276Ls from the Tau Ceti star (controlling faction at war), found 12 military supercapacitors! Thank you for the advice in this thread.
Engineers Anyone found Military Supercapacitors?
- Thread starter Dimensions
- Start date
I found a ton last night in Civil War Imperial systems near HR 1475
What works for me is to head for a system which is both Anarchy and at war. The controlling faction/s which control the station/s in the system are at war too. Once located, arrive and head away from the main star for 200,000 ls or more if you prefer. Ignore everything you discover on the way out as there will be plenty to collect on the way back. Once you hit 200,000 ls or more if you prefer, turn around and head back towards the star. What worked for me at this stage though is to set your throttle to about 3 pips. If you don't, you'll got lots of USS messages but no actual USS appearing. The message simply appears and then disappears with nothing in your navigation panel. This I assume is because at anything over 3 pips or thereabouts, is simply travelling too fast and so the USS is actually bypassed at speed. I found that between 200,000 ls and 100,000 ls I was getting numerous High Grade Emissions with 12 -15 Military Grade Alloys or Military Super Capacitors in each discovery. I also discovered numerous Encoded and Degraded Emissions along the way too. Between 100,00 ls and the star though, I did not discover any High Grade Emissions, so make of that what you will. So in summary, for the whole meander back to the main star from 200,00 ls, I collected 24 Military Grade Alloys, 24 Military Super-Capacitors and numerous other useful materials essential for engineering upgrades. Far more relaxing that twatting around in Debris Fields, CZ's and other random and frustrating exercises in futility..Good luck CMDR's
Thanks! This worked! Albeit only once I turned back towards the main star. Went out 400,000 ls and spent almost an hour out there before nearly giving up... And then they just started spawning on the way back...
No idea what kind of gameplay design this is supposed to be...
It's worth noting that encoded and degraded emissions never gave me anything. Only high grade emissions worked. Also, I did find additional high grade emissions just a few thousand ls away from the main star on the way back.

Filter for Systems in Civil War/War> search in Deep Space for High-Grade Emission Sources
I have found them in those High Quality/Grade Signal Source USSs in High Security Systems. Can't remember what the exact name is now, but they are the high value salvage USS.
High Security systems generally all spawn these, along with Combat Aftermath versions which also yield a lot of good Engineer mats like Conductive Ceramics and Chemical Manipulators.

Stopped at Rureri which was in war state today the second USS was Hi Grade Emissions. Dropped 4 Military Supercapacitors, so that put 12 back in my stores.
Supercapacitors are commonly found at HGE's in systems experiencing war/civil war, so people should just put this on their list.
