Mat' scavving suggestions required.

[Stealthie]

Anybody got any ideas where to look for "Conductive" manufactured mat's?

I've been using some mat's, and collecting some mat's, and it's become more and more apparent that I'm simply not collecting ANY "conductive" mat's in my regular play.
I am, literally, at the stage where I can't carry out a variety of upgrades for a lack of a G2 mat; Conductive Components.
I'm also out of Conductive Ceramics, Conductive Polymers and (of course) Biotech Conductors but it seems kind of absurd that I'm properly struggling to find a G2 mat'.

Been cruising around, keeping an eye open for missions that pay in BC's but I'm not finding any missions which provide them and, in Colonia, the vast majority of "tourist" missions that would normally provide BCs and ICs require you to fly your passengers... to somewhere in the bubble.

I recall that some conductive stuff can be had by blowing up cargo ships but I'm not keen on blowing up law-abiding ships and it seems a bit silly if that was the only way to actually obtain such a trivial mat'.

So, any suggestions?

Go to nav beacon in anarchy and blow up everything you see. NPCs are not innocent. They literally only exist so you can blow them up.

Haven't needed to go to Dav's for ages (though I actually like it as much for mining on the plains around the base as anything) I've mainly been filling up on materials by killing pirate npc's while core mining and then collecting the wreckage.
Works quite well I find - absolutely zero "grind" - just go to a material trader every so often and "even" out the quantities of everything - I don't really care about how many of x for y - just grab it as I go along and always seem to have more than enough.

Helluva commute from Colonia.

Er yes... quite. You didn’t mention that bit

USS - Combat Aftermath, Threat 0, seems to give reasonable numbers of Conductive Components. Not sure if any systems in Colonia them.

Bounty hunting!

Been bounty hunting for the last couple of days and I've got heaps of stuff like Phase Alloys, RFCs and Chemical stuff but no Conductive stuff.

Also, I understand that Conductive stuff is available from Degraded USS's in Anarchy systems... which, again, means the closest one is 21,000 Ly away.

Er. I've been mostly in Epsilon Eridani today, I think I've been picking conductive stuff up, degraded/encoded.
Currently in Outbreak. Let's be honest, it's a mess.
Good luck.

You get a lot of those from criminal freighters.

Dead trade ships. Smugglers count.

Trade and passenger vessels have a lot of these, so nav or especially tourist beacons in anarchies are good places, as are some anarchy installations.

Wait, what?

Are they back in the game again?

They seem to be.. but I don't know if it is just me, or whether it might be *gasp* a bug, but every single one of them I've dropped into has nothing there, not even wreckage....
