Ah, so it really is a lot of noise over nothing then. Or are you going to try and claim that temporary G4 long range instead of G5 will completely gimp your PvE build?
SO TIRED of trying to find Pharmaceutical Isolators & Military SuperCaps

And because you and some other noisy players have a problem, it must be the games fault, right? It couldn't possibly be s PEBKAC issue, because everyone has the same problem, right? Ahhh, no, we don't all have the issue you seem to..
And maybe the problem isn't the game, maybe the salt is being poured in the wrong place. These type posts are part of the reason many devs don't interact with players any more. Youtube 'influencers' are also part of the problem.
As has been asked, but I've seen no real response to, do you have adequate reputation to get the missions? Because I have a pair of systems I run missions between where I'm allied at each end and have no trouble collecting G5 mats.
The sarcasm here is pointless and not even well done. Again, please feel free to assist the devs in their lack of communication.
Yep, this is the perfect way to get people to listen to you. Abuse always works.
Because these are clearly the only players worth listening to.. Never mind the large number of players who have no great interest in Triple Elite or over engineering ships for no real reason.
Got 3 Biotech conductors and a bunch of G4 and G5 mats, encoded and manufactured, in an hour last night - reasonable bundle of credits too. You've been given the answer, but you are too busy being right and dispensing salt to notice.[/quote]

No you're correct. The 210 G5 would be to trade for 35 other G5s.
Still, after finding 5 Biotech Conductors I still need to trade for Improvised Components or find HGEs in Systems in Civil Unrest), and 18 Refined Focus Crystals.
Not worth trading if you can find the HGEs with the proper State (HGEs with a state of None are not the hard-to-find materials, usually Imperial Shielding or Proto Light/Radiolic Alloys.
My point is still the same. Finding certain materials in HGEs can be very difficult, and should not be. Difficult, yes. Very Difficult, not something this game should have. Even getting to Elite Combat takes Time yes, but is not difficult to find ships to fight. See the difference?

Thanks for the put-downs. Probably the only thing you do well. If you can't argue with the issue, put down the poster.
My initial post is still valid. You just don't like it.
Goodbye.

If the game is making you angry or, more to the point, the forum is ..... take a break. You've found your 5 biotech components, so you can pause awhile and consider your best way forward.
What issue? You are whining about a non-issue. How does one argue a non issue?
Valid? No, just a whine. Again, did you actually have the reputation for the missions? You've not answered that, the lack of answer suggests to me the answer is no. I notice you also ignore my comment about my own material collection - guess you don't like it when the truth is demonstrated.
Put downs? That would require I cared about this more than I would a speck of rodent faecal matter on the sole of my shoe..
Biotech Conductors are too easy to get from missions! I take easy missions that earn millions and offer lots of Biotech Conductors, Modified Embedded Firmware, and Exquisite Focus Crystals. Then I use the BC, MEF and EFC to trade for whatever I need. If you haven't caught on to this already, you're just not trying.
As predicted, you are getting alot to sychophant and sockpuppet pushback. But you nicely illustrate the problem with this post in response to your critics. Its not that it is impossible, and there are excellent ideas from others of how to make incremental progress. It is rather that the lack of balance necessitates mindless grinding and wastes our time. Frontier has done better in other regards (e.g. core mining mechanics) and can do better in this respect.
Some G5 materials are very rare for sure. Maybe some balance will be appreciated IMO.
Like some ppl say: Try doing missions for others G5 and use them to trade. ( yes, its boring and grind..But Elite is a grind game )
Elite Pirate missions is a good way to farm G5 materials ( Vettes drop rare G5 )

I use massacre mission rewards to stay full on BCs and EFC. When I max out I head to nearest trader to fill in the MFG mats that are low. This is normal long term game play and not something that works in the short term for players with immediate needs. It probably takes a couple of days of running REP missions to get allied with all the local factions. The horror!
However I like multiple ways of mat collecting and someone in this thread mentioned FDEV fixed the HGE mini game. When did FDEV fix the HGE mini game?

I don't think it's 'fixed', they upped the spawn rate for HGEs.
Ok, so its still possible to see a juicy HGE floating 10,000ls out in the system that doesn't have what is expected? Only now we have more of them, ok...I don't think it's 'fixed', they upped the spawn rate for HGEs.
Here’s an odd thought - stop looking for them and do something else.
That's a horrible response to the instant gratification culture. Shame!
Firstly if you need 5 items, trading for them at 6:1 requires 30 of the tradeable items, not 35.
Secondly you could have picked them up from four HGEs (ANY four HGEs) in about 15 minutes.
If you want to do it a different way and then make a moan thread hurling abuse at everybody who tried to tell you that, fine. I mean personally I'd rather be playing the game with the stuff I was trying to engineer but whatever floats your boat.
You can’t see my reaction, but if you count in binary, on your fingers, and stop at 2, you’ll have an idea what I think of that ‘culture’.
Ha! I remember it well, one of many threads complaining about HGEs and how messed up it was.This thread may be relevant
I've gotten over it, I was spending more time moaning about HGEs than flying spaceships.
I don't begrudge OP their view though.
