Planetary surface scan systems?

Which systems are good ones for doing planetary surface scans these days? My home system has me running all over creation to do them which isn't ideal. The burning stations don't seem to be giving G5 mats for rescues any more and I need those mats...!
 
I see Wuru and Gang Yun mentioned in another thread...are these best?

I miss a certain system named Quince about now, don't suppose it works?! ��
 
I am getting most of mine from HIP 5623 (Stross Installation or Temple Works) or Pira (Kraft Depot or Kuo Port) in Imperial Space. (Aisling Duval Controlled) The Allied ones pay between 2 and just under 4 million a pop, and usually offer (5) Embedded Mod Firmware, E Focus Crystals or Biotech Conductors as an alertative to $$ alone.

They pay well, and you are usually 1 jump away from the target system. There is well over half a dozen systems within 10 Ly of each other in this area of space, so it is very efficient for most mission running.

5623 is my home system, but with all the quality missions and low jump requirements, I rarely travel out of this sector.

Still struggling a bit with this. Wuru seems no bueno due to the nearby sysytem of Gillette (?) that has planets 200k from the star....yeeeaaahhh not doing that.

Maybe I'll swing by your home HIP system and help build up the BGS! My home system is Diaguandri with the massive superstation Ray Gateway...not many planet scans sadly but lots of skimmers and assassination.

There are a ton of very viable systems all around HIP 5623. Cubeo is the HQ for Aisling Duval which is just one short jump over. I'm pledged to AD for PowerPlay so this is how I ended up in this sector. But after 60 weeks pledged to AD, I have still yet to find a better area for doing missions and making $$ and materials.

If you don't already have Prismatic Shields, you might think about joining up with us and setting up shop in the sector too. The AD Powerplay group is a great community. :)

Nice, thanks. I may be over there before long to check it out!

I wish there was a Quince in the game still. That would have been perfect...I wonder if there is a system like that out there still that is a secret...if anyone knows of one and is willing to PM me it would be most appreciated!!

There is always a Quence hiding out there somewhere. ;)

I personally never go chasing those Gold Rushes. I've got over 6 Billion CR free to spend, so I am not hurting for cash by any stretch. :)

Should also mention that after the 3.04 update this morning, all the stations in 5623 are once again offering all the Engineer Commodities in nice quantities. Saw several missions with 25-35 of the previously missing ones like Articulation Motors, Modular Terminals, Cooling Hoses etc.

I've also done a lot of mission running in this area. Cubeo is another good place for accepting the missions, as they only spawn on the one planet. Just be prepared to pick up the bounties. :) There are three or four (at least) good systems in this area for the planetary scan missions, once you've allied yourself with the local factions.

The other cool thing is that the systems are so close together, you end up finding the same factions in multiple systems. This makes getting Allied a really good idea, and something you only have to do ONCE for several of the systems in the area.

Only thing to be mindful of is which opposing faction you will be ing off if you do any surface scan or assassination missions! I didn't always pay attention to that until I started loosing Allied standing with some of my best mission givers! Realized I was messing with their interests in the process of completing the other system's missions, despite them coming from a familiar 5623 based mission giver of another faction. ;)
