Hi @sallymorganmoore I just wanted to bring something to your attention. I noticed at the weekend when browsing the forum that Update 5 included a change to increase the spawn rate for Smear Campaings and Settlement Defence Plans as these were common complaints from players at the time. This seems to have worked fine for Smear Campaigns as they are reasonably findable now. However i think there may be an issue with Settlement Defence Plans. They are still incredibly rare to spawn (possibly rarer since update 5) and i know this causes a lot of fustrations for people trying to unlock past Hero Ferrari. Below is a link to the update 5 thread stating these has been adjusted:

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5

to fire AT you but unable to be hit U could always hit em...by rockets all sorts :P did it many times, when they were walking under surface etc.
forums.frontier.co.uk forums.frontier.co.uk

If there is anyway you could check or raise this internally to see if maybe there was an issue when setting the spawn rates for SDPs in update 5 I think a lot of commanders would be very grateful :)

Also - apologies for the double ping on this. I originally made a comment in the update 5 thread but its since been locked and i was advised to raise it here instead.

Many Thanks

I've spent 6 hours to day and not found a single SDP pretty aggravating considering I've got the unlock mats requirements for 4 other engineers.

There aren't 4 other engineers behind Mr SDP 🤔

True but you still need to unlock the first one to go down that tree so my point being this is the FIRST engineer but has a vastly harder unlock requirement that the others that I ALREADY have MATERIALS for. The only way I've now found to farm this is by doing what most Youtubers suggest and taking SDP missions abandoning and using the stolen materials. Planet hopping for Markers and Raiding settlements just had such poor RNG I managed 1 SDP in 7 hours but using the mission method got 5 in 2 hours.
