High Grade Emissions USS - Spawn Rates and G5 Material Provided?

1 hour in Outbreak system gave me 66 pharmaceutical isolators [best ever result for me]

No other mats dropped at all.

From this it seems to be a better drop rate in 3.0 - maybe RNG luck though ;)

Well I personally have not found one single HGE since 3.0 dropped.

Since the patch I spent a few days cruising the SRV hunting mats. Found one Arsenic drop.

So I went running missions and had a good time with that but then I decided I wanted to try converting over a legacy FSD and realized that I didn't have any Chemical Distilleries for the G4 rolls so I went USS hunting. How hard can that be right?

So I generally hunt USS's in Independent systems and choose a state that reflects what I would like to see in an HGE. I decided I would hit a Civil Unrest or two so that I could pick up some Improvised Components while I am actually searching for the CD's.

Guess what. Not one single HGE has spawned for me in three days (2-3hr play sessions each). Not in Deep Space. Not in Shipping Lanes. Not anywhere. And I cruise slow at 25% throttle so I'm not passing them up. 500ls or 500,000ls from the star. It doesn't matter.

So in my galaxy the spawn rate has dropped to zero.

And the mat I actually went on the original search for? Chemical Distilleries? I now have 9, up from zero. After three days! LOL :D

Good times I say!
 
Thanks for the info!

I will make a point to check out a few Independent systems in various states to see what the drop rates look like compared to the standard Imperial or Federation systems.

For Pharma, it has to be an independant system in outbreak state (with highest possible population). That HGE will give you only pharma. The Allegiance - state and population of the system are important.

As another example, you farm Core Dynamics Composites in Federation system wihtout any state because if it is in boom, you will increase the table loot with proto heat - proto light and proto radiolic.

Also avoid binary system.

Seriously, give it a go at the shipping lane, I got 3 in the span of 5 minutes, maybe 10 :D

Indeed.
This is the best guide to narrow it down.

Example exerpt.
Core Dynamic Composites
State: "None / Election (100%)
Allegiance: Federation
Rare component found only in Federal "Election" state systems in "High Grade Emission" "Unknown Signal Source".
It also drop in systems with "Boom","War","Civ War" and "Outbreak" but other rare materials reduce the chance of drop."

... Shipping lanes I don't know, I thought it was just high traffic area between stars/planets/stations.

I only search for HGE' as everything else can be gathered through less soul destroying means.

Thank you for this link - it's looks to be quite useful, indeed.
