Decoded Emission Data in February 2018...?

So, I've had at it on Google until I could only find entries marked as already read.
All the posts and info I found were really OLD
like from 2.2 or 2.3 - not a single post referred to 2.4...


One thing I could never find was that fantastical spreadsheet outlining all the system states and other conditions needed to get the engineering drop you need. I saw this spreadsheet referenced several times, but I was unable to dig it up on Google.


I did see the following recommendations listed for Decoded Emission Data:

- system must be in a state of war (not civil war)
- scan combat ships, preferrably Anacondas, other, larger combat ships in a combat zone (CZ)

In both "at war" systems I tried, there were not empire ships fighting against federal ships, but federal ships against federal faction ships and empire ships against empire faction ships - both were listed as "war" and not "civil war"




I did this in a federal system without getting a single drop in hours, until I realized, that Tiana is in Achenar, so that maybe I'd be better off finding am Empire system in a state of war. So I moved to Liabeze, near Achenar. There is no high intensity CZ here though, only a low intensity CZ, and I still haven't found a single DED in several hours of scanning at the CZ.



Not to mention that the rate at which anything drops upon scan is very low - apparently lower from small ships than from large ships - though I have not explicitly counted the difference, and it could just be rng.

But if only 7% of ships drop anything, and 0% of the drops are Decoded Emission Data, it'll obviously take a Lng time to get 50.



If anyone has a link to that spreadsheet people kept referring to, I'd appreciate that.
Or if you have located Decoded Emission Data in 2018 or towards the end of 2017 and remember the conditions...
