Or, more precisely, make it easier to find missions that have those materials as rewards.
I need 15 Mineral Survey data for a weapon modification, and I literally cannot find a mission that gives them as a reward. I did check and double-check online that it is indeed a material that one can get as mission rewards. I spent something like 3 hours checking something like 40 stations in about 20 systems to see if any of them has a mission that gives Mineral Surveys as reward, and nothing. With some other rarer materials, like Chemical Formulae, I only had to check about 10 or so stations before I found one. This one, however, is completely ridiculous. I have spent hours hopping from station to station, and nothing.
At this pace it appears that I won't be getting that weapon mod for the simple reason that I literally cannot get one of the materials needed.
I don't know what would be the best solution for this, but this needs some solution. (It's still ok IMO if it's mission rewards, as the missions are fun, but it has to be at least a bit more frequent for it to make any sense.)
It's one thing to need to do hours of grinding to achieve something. It's quite different when you literally cannot get the thing, not even with grinding or anything, because nothing offers that thing. I literally cannot get that weapon modification. It's ridiculous.
