It's so not an issue, that this has been a persistent thread since last summer. No problem there. Players are clearly not unhappy. Nothing to see!

Sort this for them and they'll go do something else incredibly repetitively until they've worn all the fun off it.
Come on lol. If we got 50 PIs every time we logged in you'd see a thread from someone whining that it wasn't 100
They are asking for a way to avoid having to do incredibly repetitive things to play the game the way the like gaming. But only your way of gaming is real gaming, obviously.
If this was the way you had to gather all G5 mats, it would be one story. But it's not, it's two mats that don't pop up as they should due to PP mechanics being jacked. PI's should spawn in Outbreak systems, as they used to. No one is asking for free/easy mats, they want broken stuff fixed. Fortunately, FD has been fixing bugs recently, so hopefully PP will follow soon. Whiteknighting for game design choices is one thing, whiteknighting for something that everyone knows is a mechanic not working as intended is quite incredible.
In this forum whiteknight just means :
This.... drops from high level pirates ...
This.
Get allied, get a delivery mission which will pay you 5 biotech conductors, dawdle in the destination system on the way to the station, submit to interdiction and blow up the pirate, launch collector limpets to collect a cloud of G3s and G4s, with usually one or two pharmaceutical isolators or Core Dynamics'. There can be up to 4 such interdictions per mission (and you can stack the missions). Why are so many determined to overlook this?

This stopped working last summer. It would be nice if it were fixed.Pharmaceutical Isolators in Outbreak
All were working correctly in the last few weeks... SorryHaven't tested this, anyone comments on whether this is working as intended?

If PP was working correctly, these threads would have vanished last year.

I read the OP several times. I'm pretty sure the OP is saying collecting mats is just too hard. He specifically asks for a nerf (in caps).
Intentional misinterpretation is a key rhetorical strategy of sycophants and sock-puppets.
What is being discussed here is the imbalance of USS drops which make particular collections exceedingly difficult. This is implicitly acknowledged by said sychophants and sock-puppets when asserting material traders solves the problem.
More than a few pilots have quit (per statements on Reddit) because of the Engineering Grind.....
How to fix it? BRING BACK THE NERF. You make us exit and restart every loop at Dav's Hope, so why not do the same for Grade 5s?
I'm just annoyed I can't remember the original poster - Factabulous or Northpin? Getting old...Why sorry? Fixes are good.
The balance of USS materials is atrocious
This.

Yes, this one forum standouts from the tens of thousands in others in changing the definitions of a specific term to mean something you disagree with. That is the probable conclusion.
In regards to the pic, you are the undeniably the person going out of your way to point out people playing in a way you don't like in a thread revolving entirely around people playing in a way you dislike.
And it would be the individuals choice to ignore it or fan the flames.
This is from your post, not from the OP at all.
Ahh, I think you are confusing your own statements with the OP's. It is your posts that first introduce the discussion of imbalance.
The Original Post is clearly talking about undesirable grind and asking for NERF. Nothing about imbalance of drops etc.
Edit: I just carefully read the first 6 pages of this thread. The Original Poster never discuses material drop imbalances. Only stuff about how grinding for mats sucks. I can only find posts from you on the imbalance topic. It appears it is you that have taken an interpretation of choice and run with it. Sorry, I can't be bothered with reading the rest of the thread.
Not saying you are right or wrong about balance of the drops, but you are adding stuff to the OP that isn't originally there. And then criticizing posts for addressing the actual OP. I realize discussion threads can move on from the OP, but my post and several others clearly and directly reference the OP with no ambiguity or interpretation required.
