I am sorry FDEV's. Death should not be something that happens without a massive dose of stupidity when looking for any "very common" item. Grid resistors must be the most uncommon very common thing in the game.
They are supposed to be found at Ship salvage (Military & authority ships), USS, and as Mission rewards.
Beside Dav's Hope, and even there they are very uncommon, the only place I have ever found them is in Threat Level 3 Degraded Emissions USS. The only "missions" where I have seen to offered as a reward required killing someone.
Reading around I saw that supposedly if you go to a CZ but you are neutral, empty cargo hold and you keep your weapons to yourself, you can swoop around picking up mats and components unharmed.
Maybe you could in the past, but I was done in in less than 10 seconds when I tried it. Nothing but Navy ships and Rebel forces in the fight and both of them called an immediate truce and locked on me.
So. Either I keep grinding the Degraded Emissions or slog it down to Dav's or slog off to a broker someplace and see if I have something to trade.
