Making arbitrary claims about what is relevant to the OP is a 'nope'.
Trolls have a high opinion of themselves.
Yes, you certainly seem to.
It's called "engaging gameplay" and Fdev is proud of it.
And yet another thread has dissolved into someone spouting a superior attitude and waving around 'big' concepts and words, only to have the superiority pointed out as false. Another thread where the OP was about one thing, which got answered, whereupon forum zombies rose from the dead to whine and name call..
Why? Why? Why, Delilah?
Why? Why? Why, Delilah?
Misery loves company.
Hang on, isn't that already status quo?
Yes you can! With one extra step called money. Exchange rate is probably similarly bad as in Elite.
Back from popular BAN! "Reverand's Rant"
Well, I've been chastised, and served my time in the penalty box! No complaining. However the Thread title may be a bit mislabeled, but I missed it, so there it is. I have 2 points to make, or more 2 suggestions to make; rather than RANTING. Both are actually just different approaches for the...
I would like to know in which haz res is this and which ship that give this? does the rank of the ship matters?
Try your local Haz RES, go for the Deadly / Elite Anaconda pirates... Also taking elite rated carry missions can spawn up to 4 each, some / all of which may be of the correct rank to drop G5 mats.
Making false claims about what the OP is saying is the 'nope'.
If you want to create your own thread with your own topic go ahead. In this thread the OP is quite clear what the topic is.
Your sidetracking topic isn't bad or unworthy of discussion, just not on topic to this thread. Don't expect everybody to drop discussion of an OP in favor of your own topic. Post your own thread.
Edit - Clarification - Two different topics:
OP Topic - grinding for engineering mats sucks and a nerf should be put in place.
Delilah Topic - G5 mats drop rate is unbalanced

Anywhere where you find Anacondas, T10s have a chance of dropping G5s (except Biotech Conductors). I'm not sure the rank matters. You are pretty much guaranteed 3 condas every time the pirate attack scenario occurs at an installation.
After a while you'll even figure out good places to look for "tundra" cotton. But it's a moot comparison. ED generates procedurally, Skyrim is hand-designed, which makes the whole experience more consistent.
A good example of cognitive inflexibility.
That an imbalance of G5 mat drop rates may be a reason for the OPs frustration, and a rebalancing of those drop rates are one solution should be obvious.
Given Frontier's ongoing work to get engineers and materials right, it is a reasonable subject to discuss in light of the OPs concerns. Note too that some will see a rebalancing as a nerf.
The subject certainly made sense to the OP and others who found it relevant and on-point.
Presenting an alternate solution to the OP sure it makes sense in the thread, no issue there. But it does not supersede the OP.
Criticizing posts for referencing the OP instead of your own side-topic is silly. Which is directly what you have done. And also confusing your ideas with the what was in the OP.
Example:
I recommend you make your own thread, it is worthy of its own discussion.

You are free to split hairs. I won't be joining you.
I've been following in your comments throughout this thread and I am seriously impressed by your ability to make snarky remarks, pick on people for a particular choice of wording and even throw insults, all without actually saying anything meaningful or carrying the conversation forward.
To the topic at hand, I hate grinding as much as any other guy. I understand and appreciate hard work for high rewards, but menial and repetitive tasks is not the way to do it. Having said all that, I think we are missing the point. Yes, engineering takes some effort and is pretty high end, so I assume it's time consuming by design. But I don't believe that is the end goal, it's just not that kind of game.
Frankly I don't understand the complaining at all. There's this 'end game' content and it's very grindy. It's entirely your choice if you do it or not and you know the 'costs' before you start. So...?
