Engineers Proto Heat Radiators in 3.1.3?

Once again, I find myself at a loss for finding PHR's. I know all the tricks. Boom state, high population, Independent/Alliance systems. But I can't find a single HGE that has them. I spent a good portion of the the day yesterday flying around these systems and found only TWO HGE's, and both of them only had Proto Alloys.

Has anyone stumbled onto a decent star system that has HGE's and PHR's?

Found 1 HGE in 2 hours yesterday, but maybe just RNG. Will be interesting to see others' experiences over the coming days.

I found a HazRES right next to a manufactured mats trader. Because I really don't want to do the HGE rubbish anymore.
Might also try to find one with a 'Pirate activity' POI next to it.

Found loads today, hand to go to Imperial space to get away from 'em, worried I was going to max my supply.

Keep lookin' OP: may the RNG gods look down kindly upon you

For the love of all that's good and holy, WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE?!?!?! :eek:

You mean me, or Factabulous? Because I've never even SEEN a Thargoid, LOL. :O

All I'm trying to do is build some decent efficient, Gimballed Multicannons. But those damn PHR's are impossible to find.

I regularly find them in Federation systems, too. Boom state and HGE of course. To be perfectly honest, HGE sources are not that rare (just ignore everything else) and they randomly contain Proto Heat Radiators, Light Alloys, Radiolic Alloys. I know because a few weeks ago I was hunting for PHR too, and it didn't take as long as I expected. After a few Light and Radiolic Alloys there was a HGE with 5 PHRs which immediately meant 15 pieces.

What I usually do is to go above/under the orbital plane (2,000-5,000 Ls but I don't know if it has any effect at all) and cruise there. Every 5th-6th signal source is HGE on average.

UPDATE: It seems Zmey Goab has changed recently, but I found a nearby star that produced PHR's in the first USS I came upon: 63 G Capricorni

I hope you have some luck there too :)

Go for a high population independent high tech system that's on boom state. The high tech part made all the difference for me, instead of proto and radiolic stuff it was all proto heat radiators.

Yeah, I think we all get that now. That's not the point. The point is to share specific locations where they can be found.

For instance, today I discovered the star system Mentor. Within a half hour I found 2 HGE's, both with Proto Heat Radiators, giving me a total of 18. Not bad, all things considered.

Once I was flying in a boom system looking for the PHR and high grade signal sources with them spawned exactly with 12 minutes interval. So basically, "rare" should be read as "stay long in super cruise".

Yeah I'm finding a similar pattern. I think I used to fly too fast, but now that I drop my speed down to 10%, I'm finding more USS's, and thus more HGE's.

JACKPOT!!!

I found about 6 HGE's in Mentor in the span of about an hour, giving me more than enough for my purposes. Here's proof:

Thanks CMDRs. I was in the neighbourhood (Isinor), so I jumped to Mentor to take a look:

HGEs (PRA, PLA) will pop-up every 5 min, PHR 12 or 15 every 20 mins.
