Good locations for collect wake signals

[cowasaki]

I read a tutorial that said go to famine systems and go to the locations where they are distributing stuff but there were only three, two needed permits and the other one was a totally empty system.

Where else is a good location to get the wake signals needed by engineers. Looking for enough for at least three level 5 FSD upgrades.

The only place to collect any Encoded mat's is HIP 12099.

A station with lots of traffic. Shinrarta dezra, or Jacques for example.

 

[Alpenniless]

I collected quite a lot at most Nav.Beacon.

This ^^

And if you do it in Open do it with a fast ship, everyone thinks you're going to kill them.

Just fit a wake scanner and scan a wake or 2 every time you leave a station while you play the game.
Better than letting the game play you.

Use a fast, agile and non-threatening ship. Like a sidey with DD5 Enhanced thrusters and a A-rated wake scanner. You'll be able to get to all wakes, it is fun to fly and nobody is going to crap their pants when they see you deploy hardpoints. Also, if you run into a Weird Person you're insurance is peanuts.

Ideally. But many small ships have so few utilities that it isn;t really practical.

I’m at Jameson now! Will stick my head out of the window.


I found a post about a deserted mine with ten locations for decent level 3-5 items plus a data point all of which reappear if you re log in plus a post about a system with lots of metal rich planets so I’m getting there with stuff other than the wake data. Spent a couple of hours last night on a round trip to get the metal alloys and drop them off then return home. 500ly round trip

 

[Vardaugas]

Any station in boom should have good amounts of traffic. Sit there in something like this and scan away.

DBX makes an awesome mat-gatherer.

Nah.

Not enough internals to fit the cargo racks required for limpets.

AspX is where it's at for mat-scavving, in general.

 

[Stealthie]

They both have 8 internal and 4 utility. Yeah, the AspX has more cargo space for limpets, but I find 16 limpets is just fine. You're probably correct though.

I have a DBX mat-gatherer in Colonia, and a Keelback in The Bubble. Both work great for my needs. I carry only 16 limpets though...

Must admit, I haven't used a DBX for mat-scavving due to the limited capacity for limpets but I have tried both an AspX and a Phantom and the AspX wins decisively due to it's superior ability to make sharp U-turns in SC.

 

[cowasaki]

I have an aspx for exploring, a type10 @ 500M for combat and a FDL for the same (just bought the type 10 and not used it for its purpose yet), a Python for mining and a Diamondback Explorer for mineral gathering etc. Sold my anaconda trade ship a few days ago.

Would you be so kind as to post the location of the supposed deserted mine?

Sounds like a description of Dav's Hope to me.

Pm me and I’ll send it later when I’m home or I’ll forget. I’ll try and remember and post it here.

I know of two sites that are basically as you described, one of which is Dav's Hope and though the other escapes me, it's relatively close to Shinrarta. If I remember correctly, it's only a half dozen jumps North and East in an un-engineered python.

Don't forget this info, it's still valid too: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-other-crashed-anacondas.430906/

Pick a station, sit outside, Scan.

When you can’t hold any more data, head to your nearest data broker. Trade up. Depart station, sit outside, Scan, rinse, repeat.

That's a bleak, depressing view of mat gathering in this game.

And unfortunately it's entirely accurate.
