I found something interesting last night. Different materials drop in conflict zones compared to resource extraction sites. Which makes picking them up rather difficult.
The first ship I shot dropped:
I've been dropping into degraded emissions signal sources as well and had never seen these materials there or in a Res. I had been looking for electrochemical and conductive ceramics for a while. I think it dropped other unusual materials as well but I was rather pressed for time. I needed to deactivate my beam laser to activate my cargo hatch on my Vulture and grab what I could before another ship started shooting at me. It was particularly bad running off when I lost all power because I didn't switch off my cargo hatch.
I found it useful to attack one ship and then immediately fly off so it would follow me. I could then destroy it alone away from the crowd and pick up the pieces. I took a lot of damage each time. In hindsight I should have probably flown backwards shooting at it while getting away from the crowd.
In the end I abandoned the mission to kill 28 ships in the CZ because I didn't want to become unallied with the faction I was fighting against. So I need to find another one in another system before I can see what else gets dropped.
