Is there a trick to finding impact sites?

[teeth_03]

I wasted an entire evening last night trying to find one to farm and could not find the correct one to farm manufacturing instructions.

I was in Alicia which has worked before but it refused to spawn one last night, I flew around to a couple other systems scanning planets and could still not find one. I was able to find about four of the crashed satellite one but not the nav beacon one.

Irregular Markers threat level 2/3 with a crashed satellite, you can also get them from Salvage missions which mention a "wreck" and some technical component (the latter doesn't seem to drop SDPs though, but plenty of Manufacturing Instructions like usual). And they're RNG, I'm pretty sure certain systems don't spawn more of a certain type. Larger landable planets do tend to have more POIs in my experience, so that increases the chances of getting what you need.

Don't waste too much time jumping around looking for a certain POI, just do a mission or two and by then the POIs will probably have been refreshed.

Fly at top speed directly towards the planet. You are guaranteed to find an impact site.

Larceny missions will lead you to Irregular Markers POIs, though RNGesus will decide if you get a skimmer or a SRV. I think I've had MIs from the skimmer, but otherwise the "wreck" missions will give you a chance of the beacon as Frop suggested.

 

[teeth_03]

I average an MI every 30-40 seconds at the right Impact Site so it's definitely worth finding those versus doing missions for them.

Are there certain system states (system stats) where you get wreck missions more often? Must have the knowledge to get energy regulators from these satellites.

 

[DøømHåmstër]

Salvage missions for assets always spawn impact sites. Accepting a salvage mission to recover a micro transformer or circuit board will always spawn the beacon with 4 potential download slots because those assets don't spawn behind a small access panel (which is all the voyager satellite has). Just don't recover the mission target and relog to your heart's content.

Yup created a few of those

Look on the ship boards for the mission to recover the bootleg liquor. Keep taking and completing until you get the one with the crashed skimmers. 2 Data ports to check each time you relog. Lots of MIs and if you are lucky SDPs. Read up on the ways of finding SDPs.

Once I found a POI named "small wreck" by scanning a planet and there were 8 crashed skimmers and 6 of them owned data ports. Nice...
It happened in a system with civil war... Look for systems in state WAR or CIVIL WAR to find impact sites.
Only problem with these self scanned POI now, that you need to end ELITE complete now and start new to rebuild the site.

[GERMAN]Gibt es bestimmte Systemzustände(Systemstats)bei denen man häufiger Wrackmissionen bekommt?
Muss das Wissen um von diesen Satelliten Energieregulatoren zu bekommen.

In Systemem mit Krieg oder Bürgerkrieg. Aber erhoffe Dir nicht zuviel, meist sind es doch nur ausrangierte, die man bekommt.
Ich hab darüber ein Video gemacht mit 3 Varianten, an Energieregulatoren zu kommen:

Um Stationen mit für den 3ten Tip notwendigen Wiederherstellungsmissionen zu finden, hab ich in der TIPPs Playlist auch eine Info/Tipp,
Tipp 13 - "Finden von Support Missionen".
Statt die Mission aufzugeben und 100.000 CR Strafe zu kriegen, kann man die Mission auch einfach ablaufen lassen.
Dauert nur länger (z.Bsp. 6 Tage), kostet dann aber nichts.

As usual try to find necessary Odyssey stuff is like try to find a unicorn in entire galaxy

I disagree.

What are you having trouble finding?

I'll take a stab...Odyssey Stuff...

But I have herd that its all around us....

Steve is crouched, ready to pounce, waiting with bated breath for the guy to say he can't find Settlement Defence Plans, so that Steve can leap into action and link that thread where he has like 50 posts of screenshots of looting SDPs.

Ouch!

Teach a man to fish etc.......

I was genuinely interested in what he was finding it hard to find
. One of the hardest now to find is probably opinion polls, and that is one that you cannot farm, just hit as many settlements as possible and over time they will be found. Not ideal, and takes time.

You can buy them from a carrier bartender and then sell them back to the bartender to unlock the engineer apparently.

Don't mind old Beetlejuice there...he's dead and its affecting his sleep...see the black circles...

I can corroborate this as I did that on a squadron mate's carrier just last weekend...to unlock Kit Fowler...

Manufacturing instructions and suit schematics principally, but a lot of other materials too.

I‘ve found 5 manufacturing instructions and 5 suit schematics since the launch of Odyssey, and those materials are base for any kind of upgrade…unbelievable.

I can find only useless goods, tech, circuits and some chemicals, but are also manageable with bartenders too.

I’ve also tried to get them with missions, but some mission needs already upgraded equipments to win (or real stealth mechanics ). Some other, like infiltrations, are hell with this kind of gameplay and I get only bad reputations, fines or death. Some others are bugged…

Exterminated some anarchy settlements to get stuff but nothing too. Only useless stuff… I don’t know

In my opinion if you aren’t lucky, a pro player soldier or haven’t a lot of hours to spend it’s hard life farming something for players like me

Use the Thargoid War map filter to find a system in Thargoid Recovery state. Go there, and from a station undergoing repair in that system, you may take settlement reactivation missions (unlike normal foot-missions, you must pick these up from the mission board in the ship, since you can't disembark at a burning/repairing station).

I frequently find those reactivation missions that are offering rewards such as 5 Manufacturing Instructions, or 4 Power Regulators, etc. As I write this message, I am currently performing one of these missions which will reward me 4 Suit Schematics.

Just tried reactivation 3 weeks ago, I was happy to finally find 2 reactivation missions with suit schematics reward. Ok, I travel to first one aaaaand…settlement is already active. relogging, go out from planet…nothing. ok, try the second one…same thing. And abort mission has also give me a fine
