CIF nerfed?

I know that in one update exquisite focus crystals were completely removed by accident. Has a similar thing happened to CIF? I scanned 20 bases yesterday, got 1 CIF and a ton of MEF. I remember I used to not have much trouble getting CIF.

I haven't noticed anything. My engine nozzles are still gleaming!

EDIT: Don't let the authorities know you're carrying a ton of "mef" :D.

I haven't done any Data Point scan runs in a while, but I have noticed that they seem to only very rarely pop up as mission rewards. I caught a couple within a few minutes a couple days ago, and then - nothing.

We got what everyone asked for - we no longer need commodities that you could easily buy once you got to G5, but now we don't get stuff we used to find as mission rewards. I'd go back to the old system in a heart beat if I could.

Oh, well - careful what you ask for.

Apparently the helmets and protective vests handed out at the Central Issue Facility were stopping too many bullets, so nerfz, yass.

You're welcome.

It doesn't work. No because the method is wrong, but because we were crashing mercilessly all the time. 4 different people, not winged up, could not hold the instance for longer than 5 minutes.
 
Seems lesson learned about using abbreviation, LOL.
Special when forum using MC (Multi-Crew) and MC (Multi-Cannon), accident waiting to happen :)

CIF doesn't seem nerfed to me. Went on a base scanning trek last week looking for MEFs. Used EDPathfinder and only checked MEFs, as that's what I was looking for. Ended up with 1.5x as many CIFs as MEFs, and I wasn't even looking for the former.

You always get what you are not looking for... when you're searching CIF you will get tons of MEF but no CIF.

So the best method to farm CIF is to go looking for MEF :)
