Engineers Insights on Getting CIF from Missions

Lol Ethan, two posts, one from Dr. Jekyll and one from Mr. Hyde!
Anyway I feel your pain. What can be done? I fear nothing. For now I have given up. I have the worst thrusters among all my friends but so is the game. They obviously think that a bit of sadism is a necessary ingredient in the recipe.
 
Its raining CIF on the mission boards for me at the moment.

Started doing base scans tonight and couldn't get any so I hit the boards and ended up with 3 missions yielding 9 CIF in just over an hour.

Interesting. Maybe the amount of rain is related to flying skills? Because I know you're one of the good guys. Can you share the name of the system accidentally?

Actually I still try to self-flagellate myself for staying constructive (unlike Mr Hyde) :p

On a more serious line of answering, I guess that without sound and constructive (if at times emotional) feedback, FD developers won't know or have the bits of matter to convince.
@Dominic, if we can help you guys in any way for improving or argumenting improvements, just let us know.

Thank you for your compassion. Feel sorry for your pain too.
Will be a pleasure to meet you in-game even if we have not top propulsion.

Maybe I'll try to unlock other engineers to spend y almost-full-because-of-another-bad-design mats reserves.
And maybe go to Quince, because even if the current good money and mats making rate there is because of another instance of bad design (I don't think it so though, there are always some places/markets/actions more mechanically worthy IRL too), at least it's rewarding.
If people making decisions at FD can maintain those bad designs too, why should we only endure the pointless and reward ones like this white knight CIF grind ? It reminds me of some things Churchill once said.
Well... and right now I'm also considering going for a fully modded Baldur's Gate 2 or Legendary XCom Long War 2, those would be way more enjoyable, coherent and rewarding.

Sure, Apurui down in the Empire.
Thank you !

I was at quince for like 3 days and got around 20 CIF on ps4
My comba rank is novice trade rank is peddler and exploration is ranger
 
Medium + bases are quite hard to find and these give Cracked Industrial Firmware, Modified Embedded Firmware and Security Firmware Patch are very often spawned. Try WOLF 363 Planet 2F Clark Vision. I got 6 CIF and 1 SPF from scanning the 3 posts.

Don't be lazy! they only need scouting and picking the fastest route to get all three scans done in time.

Trust me, i scanned enough medium security bases, where i just got crap [smile]
 
Hanging around Cubeo right now for prismatics. CIFs good drop rate and MEFs occasionally for economy passengers short trips. GL HF.
