Nice and easy way of farming wakes for DATAMINED WAKE EXCEPTIONS

If like me the RNG Gods are not very nice with you in finding datamined wake exceptions, here is what you can do to get plenty of them fairly easy.

Filter your map and head to a system with famine state. Then drop to a "distribution centre" that you 'll find on your destinations panel. After no more than a minute you will have many wakes available for you to scan. So many that your scanning will be non stop.

Hope it helps you like it helped me.

Alternative :
- hug a busy Orbis or Ocellus Starport in a high-population System
- enjoy wake after wake from departing traffic

Distribution Centers are also a good way to farm Trader Ship Components, when they are in Anarchy systems.

Information like this should be told to the player by the game.

It is, through logic and thought. IOW, you need to think for yourself (I'm not being rude).

Too many games tell players what to do/think, and how (and even when) to act. ED is more like a game of chess; it gives you the pieces, tells you the rules, but leaves you to figure out how to position them for best effect. :)

What, like: If you go somewhere with lots of wake to scan, you will be able to scan a lot of wakes?

Do we really need to be told that? :)

No but about the famine bit. How the heck do you connect that to anything related to datamined wakes?
"Famines mean there's lots of datamining wake exceptions" - uh, I guess? Doesn't sound very logical to me ;)

Absolutely a good thing to allow as much freedom as possible, but ED certainly doesn't shine at telling the rules, far from it.

Play the game, not some plato ideal that should be the game.

When you play the BGS, you learn that pretty fast. The game is the game. Playing something, which you think the game SHOULD BE instead only leads to frustration.

And to avoid having to farm them, always have a wake scanner and scan the 2/3 wakes around each time you leave a station before jumping. It'll build up over time and you'll have more than you need when the day comes.

Yea thats what i was doing too guys i was camping outside stations with traffic, but its not always possible to carry a wake scanner, because it depends on the ship and the loadout. Besides that, i was never lucky with those datamined wakes. This method is very nice because now i have 27 datamined wakes in total and i dont have to deal with that again for a long time and i can use them to fix the fsd in all my ships and get done with it.

Thank you so much, It has saved a lot of time and its something to see all these ships jumping every 5 seconds

I had so much data I had to start sorting what I did not need away.
Needed:
FSD Level 5
Datamined Wake Exceptions

FSD Level 3
Strange Wake Solutions

Had to get rid of some of these not needed
Eccentric Hyperspace Trajectories
ATypical Distrupted Wake Echos

I was wondering why the Wake Scanner stopped working, it was because I had filled the data storage up.
Note: The Wake Scanner is an external module like a shield booster or chaff. It's not an internal module like an advanced discovery scanner.

Thanks again CMDR, and well done for finding this out. :) :) :)

Ahhh thank you I was just about to start looking for some! I always went to nav beacons which had me flying 10km back and forth chasing wakes. Dependable but slow. I'll try out some famine systems.
