During the "Beyond" beta I will update and introduce changes related to engineers. There may be difficulties when using the Database. Please be patient.
 
Update...

- Main part Updated (Data, Materials, Elements) I am still waiting when Devs repair the bag with "Combat Zone"
- Orbital Installations, Surface Sites drop Updated

Work in progress ...

- Weapons/Modules Experimental Effects Update
- Thargoid Bookmark Update ( Information about Thargoid Ships )
- Guardians Bookmark

Can't believe I never saw this thread before. A really impressive undertaking, Cmdr Galenrog.

Please consider yourself encouraged to update to 3.0!

I always try to promote it, and people brush it off (just like I did) till they give it a read. it's the most comprehensive, even if a touch outdated.
 
Thanks for your work I just wanted to add something. The heat resistant ceramics, tempered alloys and etc that say “Ships in Combat Zones do not drop this material. We must wait until this bug is repaired.” can be found most commonly while Undermining powerplay npc’s.

Hello all CMDRs.

Today is giving you a new expanded sheet with materials for engineers.


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo1iHP9KUXpoBaIzJsRsDxfAcQa7cBq0YUIFy3m2NII/edit?usp=sharing

The sheet is updated and contains far more data than most websites.

- Information on materials for engineers
- Volcanic Prospecting
- Instalations
- Surface Site
- Thargoids
- USS Guide
- Weapon Experimental Effects
- And links to useful forum topics

I hope it will be a helpful tool for you in your search.

Hi there, concerning...

PROTO HEAT RADIATORS

...I do not believe that the current advice in the spreadsheet (Independent or Alliance system, Anarchy improving chances) can be correct because the richest source of these in the game is and remains the Sol system (I have just picked up 27 PHR in Sol in 10 mins) and Sol is of course Federation and not an Anarchy.

Hope this helps!

Update...

-Add "Guardian" bookmark


PS. Truesilver read the "USS Guide" carefully so you can understand some aspects. Sol system has a large population and this affects the amount of occurrence of USS. But because it is federated, it causes that in the USS High Grade Emission may drop Core Dynamics Composites. The database is supposed to guide you where to look for something and how some mechanics work. The rest depends on you and your experience to facilitate your work.

Good luck

I disagree! Let me explain...

I'm fully aware of the desirability of avoiding CDC and Imp Shielding by avoiding Fed/Imp systems when seeking Proto Heat Radiators and others mats such as Proto Radiolic Alloys.

However, I believe that there must be another variable affecting (at least) Proto Heat Radiators, of which we are unaware.

The reason is that if a Cmdr goes to Sol, they will find in the HGE USS a much greater proportion of PHR than any other known system. There will be both a greater ratio of PHR to Proto Radiolic Alloys, and there are more PHR per HGE USS.

There are many Independent and Alliance systems with multi-billion populations in Boom state. Yet these do not provide PHR as quickly as Sol does. They tend not only to spawn HGE USS more slowly but with a much greater proportion of PRA.

Put another way: even though in Sol one is subject to Federal CDC spawn, it is still quicker to get PHR in Sol than in any other known system.

This is why I suggest that the advice to go to high-pop Boom Alliance or Independent is sub-optimal (it is much quicker to go to Sol) and why I also suggest that there must be a hidden variable at work.

Anyway, hope this isn't a de-rail and thank you again for your work, o7

I made tests comparing the Sol system with other highly populated systems. The frequency of appearance of the USS is the same (more densely populated systems were slightly larger). As for the appearance of the HGE itself, there is also no difference. It is only dependent on RMG and the spawn key you will receive. You might get lucky and have a 5 HGE in a row, or endlessly appearing Degraded emissions.

It does not change the fact that it is worth flying on systems with a population of "15 billions +" if they have a state that interests us.

Good luck.

Thanks indeed for your response. A part of my own observation is over the frequency of PHR encountered within the HGE, and also the ratio of of PHR to PRA.

However, I fully accept that without structure any analysis is not properly quantitative. Next time I go USS hunting I will try to do some formal comparisons to see whether my impression bears scrutiny. I will let you know, if so.

Small Update ...

- Add new info in "Elements and Surface Sites" Bookmarks on obtaining rare minerals from crash ships on planets.

Good Luck.

Awesome! :cool:
A couple of small points I've noticed, their are now 227 known Thargoid Structures (link to the Canonn map & list in my thread which is linked in my sig, theirs other info their too about TSs which you may be interested in).
You mis-spelt Settlements in the data sheet column title ;)

Btw what does M4M / L3M / M2M mean? Didn't see a glossary for the various terms.....
