Like others here I don't actually look for HG signals because they are like hens teeth - its depressing wasting time looking for them.

High ranking NPCs like pirate lords drop them (along with other G5 mats) along with loads of G4 materials you can trade up (or down). Pirate lord kill missions stacked are great for this, and you get paid along with it.

What are these pirate lords you speak of? Are they the deadly anacondas in pirate threat SS's or are they from wing assassination missions?

Look for solo (non wing) missions that pit you against a single Anaconda or Corvette (Cutter too? Never seen one)- labelled "eliminate pirate lord x". Don't go for the ones that require scanning a surface point though as they are tedious. You'll face a deadly + rank big 3 ship which is easy to kill and drop the mats. For more fun stack loads in one system and they may all pop up at once :D You sometimes get high rank pinatas in res sites, but they are not common pop ups (I could be unlucky).

I only seem to get the Pirate Lord missions after taking a normal Pirate one, like I have to kill the subordinates and then the leader comes out or is more vulnerable, pure anecdotal but is that just RNG? (its also how it happens in another game I play so just made sense to me) Still haven't got any PIs from them though, at all, ever. Havent paid attention to system state or faction state or anything though coz I aint grinding I just doing them when I feel like it with no loyalty or intent other than the money or rank or just want some more combat in that session.

After all my previous comments on this thread, I gave up and use the Mat Trader now, trading the 4 or 5 HG I always full of coz theyre everywhere, I don't like it, it feels game-breaking/immersion breaking/just 'wrong' to me but also means I haven't changed my gameplay at all so I can live with that.

You can also do the pirate attack scenarios on installations. You get 3 condas each time.

Ive done a few 'Defend/Attack the installation' including defending Unauthorised ones, never seen a 'Pirate' one, is there a way of telling or do you just mean if the faction is an Anarchy one?

I still find them in HGEs from time to time, but I don't go out of my way to look for them.

Mostly I just submit to NPC interdictions while running missions and pick up the pieces...

More or less so than ships apparently being made out of components that can only be acquired from the destruction of other ships?
