How Does Dav's Hope Work?

Having read about Dav's Hope and its legendary source of engineering material, I made my way over there and found the abandoned settlement. Decamped to the SRV and thus far found it somewhat...underwhelming. Driving around the complex, I tagged the transmitter beacon then collected around half a dozen materials that seemed to appear by magic on the ground. Drove around a bit more but no further materials spawned. Decided to explore a bit further and found an abandoned mining area (which seems to owe more than a nod to Mass Effect 1). Some hostile skimmers quickly dealt with in exchange for a 1000 reward each, but then when I shot at a defense tower I got an 8000 fine! Great.

Collecting freight canisters at 2 a time before having to return to/recall my ship is also somewhat tedious.

Explored a bit further and found a few outcrops but nothing exceptional, mostly common materials that just about every landable rock can provide.

So am I missing a step here or are the rewards for landing there somewhat diminished from the rave reports in the forum here and on Reddit etc. from 18 months ago?
 
Got it - save, quit etc., will work it a bit later. I only want enough low level stuff so I can trade it up at the broker for the few remaining items I need to G5 the FSD on my T10 at Farseer.

Tell you what though, seeing that big ship swoop over and land is a rather nice show!
 
When you get bored about that, please notice there is a nice mountain ridge nearby.
If you have a small ship, you can try to land ontop then do some nice buggy jumping or, how they like to call, base jumping. Pretty awesome

I think there's also that INRA base that was rekt by the Thargies. You can land there and keep relogging to get at higher end mats all about.

You can also get Thargoid stuff at that crashed Thargon thingie somewhere not far from Maia.
Just land get the Thargoid parts. Relog, and continue till your ship corrodes and melts into the landscape.....
