Just quit playing. Might as well do chores around the house. It's more interesting and less aggravating lately.
How can I find datamined wake exceptions, since there are no Famine systems?

I disagree. All of my ships' FSDs have been maxed by sitting at a DC. If you engineer a wake scanner to the longest range there is a sweet-spot at a DC where you can just gimbal around without otherwise moving, and get 20-30 DWE per hour..

Right now, the gateway to grade 4+ non-data mats is missions.
Scan ships and wakes, and you will get enough data to choke on.

Hmmm, may have been a bug - in the game or in my brain. Alzheimer's is a PITA. Thanks for the correction.
Do find those in famine systems? I never get any from sidewinders and haulers.. to increase chances they need to be a certain class of ship that isn't those.
I never board hopped more than once either so if people brute forced sidewinders to get them ouch.

Did this at Chelomey Orbital in Cubeo last weekend. In a sidewinder. In open. DD'd enhanced thrusters.
Wakes for days from all the navy ships circling the capital ship dock, NPC traffic, and for bonus points you get to induce crazy paranoia from the local CMDRs at the presence of a hollow triangle zooming around their powerplay HQ.
Yep do trade missions for other G5 data and use it to buy DWE.
MEF is quite a popular reward.

This is what I do usually.
Interesting side note - these can actually be farmed without using the SRV. It's less efficient, due to ship data link needing to be within ~70m of each point to work, but way cooler:

Or go hacking installations. Got 15 MEF from just a few stations. Plus some other higher grade data.
Either find 'convoy signals' as the ships will jump out and new ones will arrive. Or Jameson's Crashed Cobra and trade for them. I used a DBE and there's a data trader two jumps away iirc.
It's boring as anything but no more so than wake scanning.

This is great, I'm grinding right now and the turret hint is fantastic! Thanks a lot.
Well, it's about as sparkling as sitting next to a distribution center and scanning high wakes for several hours
.
Fly two ships on separate computers and scan your own wakes as you jump doing exploration. DWE seems to occur best when the scan distance is between 1.5-2 km
I park myself right outside the station, right about where ships wake in and out, and scan wakes.
Average of 30 minutes produces an average of 30 DWE. It's just not that hard.

Ummm I'll certainly call on this post. No, one won't get 30 DWEs by simple scans at a station. Never.

I should be back in the bubble some time around October, maybe November, at the earliest. I'll set a reminder to shoot some video. It's really not that hard scanning at stations to find DWE's. Now I won't say it works at just ANY station. It needs to be a fairly remote station - one with long jumps to the next closest system, but it works quite well.
Inner-bubble systems tend to suck, since most of the jumps are short enough to make in a stock sidewinder. But pick a good system out on the fringe, and you'll be asking for the condiments to go with that crow.
All my DWEs have come from station scanning. Never been to a famine system for distribution centers. 18 G5 FSDs. Holding max of all data too.
