Awful TITAN DRIVE COMPONENT Drop rate, like the good old day's, Pre-Engineer drop rate Re-Vamp.

[CMDR RAY-ZOR'SHARP]

TITAN Grave yard drop rate's need to be adjusted, they are awful. TDC's and Caustic Crystal's are like hens teeth.

Any help in that area would be a good Xmas present, New Year treat, live in hope, die in dispare.

07 CMDR's

Update, #263 for TDC's collected since first post.

Received the CG SCO's for all 3 of my CMDR's, 2 did not really need much extra, as they have far fewer ships.

CMDR 1, 3 TDC's
CMDR 2, 2 TDC's, (This CMDR already had 8 left over from the TDC CG) no idea why, must have been a punt.
CMDR 3, 23 TDC's + 1 used.

For 16 day's, can't say how many hour's, Though a guesstimate of 3hrs a day would be very conservative, worst still, 6 dropped in one session and 4 in another, which leave's a whole lot of not a bean sessions.

Random Nut Generation is

Yer ive done 6 runs on Graveyards (~ 7 hrs) and got 1 drive.
So yup pritty grindy indeed.

 

[Flimley]

It is way less than satisfactory.

But as cargo wouldn't have been part of the materials overhaul.

 

[BDelacroix]

In general you don't need a lot of them but yea, takes a LONG time to find one.

I've done a few visits in the last few days and got loads. When I was just checking out the centre of the titan debris field I found zip in 30mins...quick interweb search and it suggested you fly about 10km from the centre. Once I did this I was getting a TDC every ten mins or so and soooo many caustic shards I stopped bothering to collect them.
Not found 1 single TDC near the centre yet, every one is 8-15km from the centre.

Got one after 10mins in Sol, and it slipped right of the cargo bay just before arriving at my FC because I foolishly grabbed two Thargoid hearts. Lesson learned...

I think this is an important point people must not know if they are getting truly terrible rates. The debris field is around the Titan, not close to it.

Even with that knowledge, I'm finding roughly 1 Titan Drive Component every 20 minutes or so. It's rare but if you are collecting other stuff too then the time will go quickly, also a nice fast ship to cover lots of ground and make sure your scanner isn't weirdly short-ranged or something.

Also, Caustic Resistant Cargo Racks, people!

Relog after finding one

Set a timer. Relog when you do not find one

Use the ignore list to make them stand out more

Found about 4-5 per hour. I think that is a good rate

I use an A-rated long range engineered scanner, which helps massively.

Relog isn't ideal. When you log back in you're 80km away. The mats constantly and randomly spawn into your instance, they are not instantly there like HGEs when you 1st drop in. It's more akin to a HazRez site where pirates are constantly dropping in.
All relogging does is add extra time to your run, however it does clear the contacts list of NPCs and goids.

This is where the 64-ton corrosion-resistant cargo racks from a CG earlier really shine.

Exactly the idea. It resets all. My orca covers the 80 km in a couple of minutes. We used to fly thru the cloud before. Not much changed

Lol at 1 every 20 minutes that's a long time in the debris field. I'd rather get back to my FC with 5 or so just with the risk of possible loss as its cargo and not materials.

 

[Vedmo]

I started doing this once, but then I couldn't remember what I needed the stuff for in the first place so I stopped.

 

[Doctor Dread]

What drives are you making?
I made one extra Class 5, so now Mandalay and Type-8 have one each.
Cobra Mk V has taken Class 4, Anaconda Class 6, Cutter Class 7.

And I'm thinking hard where would I need another.

 

[Sleepyman]

got a couple today (and saw a couple more but left them cos I dont need any more T drives) to go with th2 yesterday (old dead Titan) Drop rate seems fine to me

Krait MkII, Mandalay, AX Chieftain all class 5

 

[Sleepyman]

LOL within 30 seconds of arriving at Cocijo a moment ago and a T Drive shows up

 

[Koma Pahu]

I got one in two hours of searching. I know you don’t need many over all, but being cargo it’s not exactly convenient picking one up occasionally. Making them one at at time is a lot of busy work.

 

[Gurney__Halleck]

Am averaging about 1 titan drive per 30 minutes of scavenging a dead titan , one of the older ones presently.
