Thanks! Mentor is always generous when in outbreak. Will go there tonight.

I can absolutely confirm. in approximately 45 mins I just went from 21 PIs to 95 PIs!!!!

Thanks for the tip Cmdr o7

My bookmark on Mentor is now edited to include this wonderful tidbit.

Right now - Epsilon Indi. Got my 100 PI. 2500 - 4000 ls from the main star. GL HF. lol.

 

[Rob Galaxy]

At the moment: Tau Ceti.
Heading away from the star from ~2500 ls to ~4500 ls and circle around it in this distance.
Maxed out my Pharmazeutical Isolators from 30 to 100 in about 1 h.

I found that Independent Outbreak High Population is not enough for high amounts of PI. I tested it deeply for few days. Some system will give 5 x 3 and nothing after that (checked some of them multiple times in different tactics to "force" respawn). Some will fill your cargo in an hour. There must be additional condition for high drop count (I used all known tricks).

Right. I tried Epsilon Indi before (after read your post) - system was still in Outbreak - and found NONE High E. [blah]
But short time later the state of Epsilon Indi changed to N/V.
So my guess is, if you enter a system where the state Outbreak (or any other you look for - like 'Boom', etc.)
is at it's end, the chance for a High USS is not longer there. On the other hand, if you enter a system
and the system state just changed actual to the state you look for, then may be the chance for High USS are highest...

I was thinking it could be something to do with state change - When a system changes it spawns HGE's and they are about for a decreasing time

However I tried this out when systems near my trading base changed and I saw no real difference.

I had one night in a civil unrest system that was just unreal - must have had 10- 12 HGE's drop between the two stations in about 20 minutes. Next day nothing

I can think 2 theories. First one it is some pool proportion with faction influence.
Second is dreadful "loot" table (dig forum deep for RES tables).

Tried out finding USS in 3.3 BETA this evening. WOW. HGE easy to find now and very interesting:

I found 7 HGE SS in a system without any planets or stations (only the sun in there).
The system wasn't assigned to any faction and with zero population.
