Indeed I am a reading man. Please try not to be so condescending.
RNG plays a large part and I have as yet been unlucky.
Have yet to find a wanted Hauler.
Have yet to find a combat aftermath signal source.
Have yet to find any in emission signal sources. Although I have been jumped by wings several times now in 0 threat level and promptly sent to a rebuy screen. So I now sympathise with many of the Insane Overpowered Ai threads.
Have yet to find any in mission rewards.
These are observations, not complaints.
I've given myself a deadline. If I haven't found what I need. I shall just return to my exploration trip without engineers mods.
It appears though, once I'm done with that, I'll probably move on, nothing else in this game seems to make sense. Certainly not progression, investment and reward.
RNG based games are no better than casinos, pokies/slot machines/one armed bandits.
And that's one compulsion I won't be drawn into.

In addition to the good advice above, you can also filter the galaxy map to show systems experiencing outbreaks or famine. You'll find large debris fields in those systems, destroyed cargo ships with chemical manipulators and other materials floating around.
Ah, there we go. That's new information, thank you. I shall give that a go this afternoon.
