Engineers Conductive Polymers?

[Strudders]

Is there any update on this? I've been hanging out in anarchy systems and shooting the high end transport ships as recommended (when they appear - which is infrequently) and I'm not getting Conductive Polymers. Been doing this for days and it's wearing a bit thin. I'm guessing that it has changed and there is now another way - or better way perhaps? Any hints? Appreciated, thanks.

Same here. I have been killing Transport this evening, both interdicted and at nav beacons and nothing has dropped

I am back at Dav's Hope and picked up 12... So they are there to farm if you wish.

Really? Dav's Hope? Great! I've been getting Chemical Manipulators there but hadn't noticed Conductive Polymers. Fab! Off I go then ...

Passenger and haulage vessels should be your primary targets. Saud Kreuger ships seem to have better rare materials drops.

Yeah - I've been taking out t6's, t7's t9's and keelbacks and none of them dropped anything worthwhile at all - for weeks. So I'm looking for alternatives. I must admit I haven't targetted passenger vessels - just can't bring myself to do that I'm afraid - even in an anarchy.

A trick I learned for finding T9's is to look on EDDB (https://eddb.io/system) for anarchy systems in famine state; there will be instances of 'distribution center' which has 3 T9's. Blow 'em up for their goodies then reset the instance.

Sometimes it can be a chore to find a distribution center; I don't always see them in every famine system.
