Newcomer / Intro H.G.E. materials by system state table

[Dougie]

On my way back to the bubble I was chatting in-game about materials gathering and they mentioned that there was a table somewhere on the forum showing what manufactured materials were found in HGEs by system state / allegiance. I've done some searching (forum and goggles) and come up with nothing like a table, just some various info but nothing complete e.g. no mention of Mil Sup Caps so far.

So does anyone have a copy of this mythical HGE / State table please?

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

I don't know about that mythical table, but this is the info I use (click to enlarge).

I transferred this info to a spreadsheet from an image I snagged on a discord.

Thanks for those....

I got pointed to Empire + War for Mil Sups and sure enough filled up with them first time.

Now to go do some engineering...

Useful. But, frankly, with the overabundance of materials in HGEs nowadays, is it really worth it trying to find the right allegiance/state combo when you can just use the nearest materials trader? Yes, you lose out due to exchange rate - but a single HGE will fill you up again.

Those charts are nice as a reminder, but in practice just go to one or two high population fed, imp and alliance system each, and you're probably set.

Yes indeed but this afternoon I returned to the bubble and by hitting the respective state buttons I filled up with both mils, PI, IC, heats and rads, strangely the only ones I had to jump to two systems for were the core dynamics and PIs - just lucky I guess, particularly the ICs. Spent the rest of the time in Imp space trading imp shields for other mats, rinse and repeat till I got fed up.

Great gameplay.

Great gameplay.

You can snark all you want, but it's actually not too bad. Kind of fun and relaxing actually. And if you're flying an appropriate ship (I, for example, fly mostly armed MP builds these days that always carry an operations limpet controller and a few limpets) you can even pick up HGEs on the fly when you see them. And since a single HGE now usually fills a whole bin, there's no more of that relog nonsense either. So yeah, much improved compared to the past.

But yeah, all bad. Dead game, in fact.

To be honest I found chasing around a system trying to reach High Grade Emissions before they expired quite fun, the current system fills up the storage much faster but is much less involving.
It is more efficient but it isn’t as involving, I wouldn’t want it reset but I sort of wish they hadn’t increased the amount dropped so much.

Fair enough. At least it's a nuanced take on it instead of "all bad, mkay". Also a sign that you just can't please everyone.
