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?
