Neofabric Insulation: What Stations typically offer it as a Mission Reward?

I'm trying to unlock the Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks from the Tech broker and already purchased the 28 meta-alloys and 30 radiation baffles. Then I noticed I also need 12 Neofabric Insulation, which is a mission reward only commodity.

Anyone know what types of stations frequently offer this as a reward? I see Modular Terminals, Bromellite, and other junk all day long, but have only seen this from the rescues missions from the burning stations.

Anyway, currently stuck in my Anaconda because of the cargo I already have. Can't switch to my other ships/do things I want, unless I can find this last item and make the purchase or dump what I have. Argh.:mad:

Yes. after the 3.0.4 patch dropped, I was able to easily find them and microweave cooling hoses. I've had the Corrosion resistant cargo racks unlocked for several weeks now. Heck, I even have the Guardian Plasmas and Guardian Gauss cannons unlocked for the last two weeks.

I think the mission I got where they were being offered was from an Extraction based economy system, but can't remember for sure. I still see these offered as rewards as I travel around. I think the one I did was a planetary scan. I know I've also seen them listed for Assassination missions, haulage missions, and planetary salvage missions. There are so many reward options now, though, that you may only see them offered in one out of 20-30 missions on a board. They are definitely back in the game though.

Good luck on finding them soon.

It's easier to get them from the wrecked mega ships around the Oracle. I forget the system at the moment. You will need hatchbreakers and collectors though.
Actually quite fun. You have to hatchbreak the holds more than once to get all the contents out which usually includes some platinum or escape pods.

I don't know about easier, but the wrecked megaship route is definite source not dependent on RNGesus.

I had re-equiped (and engineered) my Anaconda to retrieve this stuff from the wrecked megaships on a Sunday. The next day, 3.0.4 dropped and I instantly got a mission that gave me 34 neofabric insulation as a reward.

So yes, wrecked megaship isn't fickle, but it can't be quicker - not when one mission will give you more than you need for the unlock (by about 3 times as much) - unless you just can't find said missions.

Yeah that rack mission can be a pain when you are shuffling cargo around. I had just about everything and was on my way to get radiation baffles, when I ate a sun. With my luck it was in a system a pirate had been waiting for me. So there I am next to a mass burning ball of fire. I conduct a reboot restart to test out of it will get my FSD back online faster. When *swwwwhump* another ship jumps in... It's the pirate. Dude lights me up. My system finally comes back on, I smash jump. Nope, says I have something out....WTH? I smash my hardpoints, back in as I must have accidentally put them out. I try to jump... FSD malfunction... FSD malfunction. Motha... Finally it takes... Squawk squawk squawk... Taking heat damage... Let's go let's go let's go... Cargo hatch malfunction..... Fwwaaaaaakkkkkkkk. .... Let's go let's go let's GO! Like 15% hull... I'm boosting set like mad. Align message comes up.... Oh COME ON! 2 hundred something heat... Finally am shhwumppp am out.... 5% hull... I B line for the closest dock. Smash repair button as I dock.... Look at my cargo... I lost enough of each item that I had to redo the back and forth shuffle dance again.


Long story short... Equip one FiRst class passenger rack. Flip the board, until a transport mission appears with neofabric reward. Should be pretty quick.

You can also get them as rescue ship mission rewards by collecting escape pods, black boxes, etc. at damaged stations and turning them in. Pretty easy way to get plenty of them, just have a bunch of heat sinks and collector limpets.

I got 25 of them as rewards for one sightseeing tour mission from an Allied station.

Initially, I tried scanning cargo bays from Aquarius and Prison class bulk megaships attacked by the Thargoid but couldn't find any.

Service, Tourism or Colony economies are probably best - mission rewards can either be special cargo or cargo the base produces, and those economies barely produce anything so their missions seem more biased towards the special cargo.
