Do HGE even exist at the moment?

They want us to take it slow from now on. This is FD's subtext I gathered from playing the game and reading about other people's experiences. Similar subtext reflects from other areas of the game, where slow road to achievement is supposed to create artificial pressure for player to overcome and feel relieved and accomplished (or burned out, heh). Not mindlessly perform A-B-C-D drive by's to get 3 modified embedded firmwarez per run, metaphorically speaking, but to be creative and alert to immediately seize the opportunity when it condescends on you, avoiding the "loop design". Which brings us, inevitably, to "random design". I also feel that current situation is extremely, Extremely unfair to new players, who have 0 chance to succeed in PvP if they have tiny flaws in their builds. They'll get there, eventually. But weeks/months longer than We did. PvP is small subset of course, but very important.

Ok, thanks for reading, my whiteknighting is over. )

Yes, this explains Dav's Hope, the crashed Anacondas and Jameson Cobra perfectly.

It's an interesting strategy, to refit the space part of materials collection so thoroughly and tie it more deeply into the broken BGS so that finding specific materials is an excessive pain, while making others infinitely refreshable in a relog loop. I'm sure it's part of some grander, long term design that isn't immediately apparent and not the result of disconnected ad hoc piecework.
 
If someone find a outbreak HGE that drops the CORRECT materials (Pharma Isolators) or a civil unrest HGE that drops Improvised components, please, share the system.

I am at my 3rd week looking for the correct materials on the correct HGE's, im going to crazy right now - i will not collect 600 another ones to trade in 100 of i want, this is way too much for me.

They exist. I find them whenever I go looking, generally just while I'm moving around and not in a hurry to get someplace. Drop into a system scan the nav beacon, SC, nav panel search the HGEs. Not every system has them ofc... The type of materials you can find in them is the problem. I've never seen PI's or IC's from an HGE yet. Searching empire space for IS is still imo the fastest way to find mats to trade with. The material trader is still really the only viable way to get half of the G5 material types. Or mission rewards, and I have to say it's pretty disappointing that the rewards now give exactly what they say. Its says 5 you get 5, not 5x3=15 like before.
