Thanks for the replies.
After an hour and a half from the previous post I found 1. Another hour and a half later I found a second. Where as I saw around 100+ degraded signals, a hand full of weapons fire, and distress calls, and 1 convoy distress beacon across 3 systems.
End result, 24 improvised components that I would of gladly spent 24 million to buy to bypass this horrible PURE RNG system. If we had a means to perform a triangulation to locate a hgss with in a system.
This would feel less like wasting time and feel more like finding treasure. If I only had 30 minutes to play and this was the task I wanted to complete. I would never of gotten anything and my time really wouldn't of been spent well in this game.
