The worst possible way to get a ton of engineering materials really quick in Elite Dangerous

Sometimes the grind makes you do horrible things. Horrible things that pay off really well. Welcome to system Col 285 Sector RF-C B14-7.
To use all these materials that you, *ahem*, obtain, check out my Engineering Guide at • EVERYTHING You Need To...

[@Mile13Gaming]

One more note: You can get data materials as well by wake scanning the wakes of ships that high-wake out (if you don't blow them up first, of course). I hope you liked this video! Let me know what you'd like to see next!

[@ravenragnar]

Bro, thanks for this. I might actually do get back into the game again. Lets see you do some FPS content.

[@Dr_Tripper]

@@Mile13Gaming Also, you can relog with the HG emissions given enough time on the clock. You have to relog to the desktop though so it takes more time. But seriously with one HGE site with enough time (25 mins) you can max out 4 and 5's.

[@CmdrDjBurp-dr5uy]

​@@Dr_TripperThese days there's so many, you can go between them ,logging isn't necessary so much. 😎👍

[@psyantologist]

I don't think a high-tech economy is even necessary anymore since some patch half a decade ago. But, yeah, scanning the nav beacon reveals the HGE's in the system. They yield: Federal systems: Core Dynamics Composites Proprietary Composites Imperial systems: Imperial Shielding Civil Unrest faction states: Improvised Components War or Civil War faction states: Military Grade Alloys Military Supercapacitors Outbreak faction states: Pharmaceutical Isolators Boom or Expansion faction states: Proto Heat Radiators Proto Light Alloys Proto Radiolic Alloys If more than one condition applies, the materials are selected randomly from the possible ones. This can make state-related mats like Pharmaceutical Isolators more tedious to acquire, particularly because the HGE needs to be inside the state affected faction's space

I pick through the bones of fellow pirates who wants some of my stolen cargo. Usually they are higher level but pay way more handsomely, I get free cargo and also I get bounties.

[@CMDRStarshine]

Nicely done! Doing it this way still makes you a better person than all of us who went the easy way and relogged on HGEs and at Jameson's crash site. Maybe those who did laps around Dav's Hope are even better. Can't wait for the video on Odyssey material gathering, where the -killings- accidents get close and personal.

[@tekfunk6299]

I just parked my fleet carrier in a high pop (fed) system with war (Lalande 8441). (...or imperial system for Imp. shielding) And whenever i get out to do anything there are high grade emissions popping up in front of me. When i go to the stations i do them, when i go to missions i do them etc. In 5 days i was full on Core dynamics components, configurable components, miitary grade alloys and proto radiolic alloys. I´m also doing passenger runs in thargoid systems (the ones with the flame), meaning tons of biotech conductors, modified embedded firmware, exq. focus crystals and many others grade 4, 3, etc. - and gazillions of credits. Then check the closest material trader and get the missing ones (pharmaceutical isolators for thusters and if needed propriety comp. for shields) No need to slaughter families :)

That's actually why I kind of like this one. It doesn't break the immersion as much as re-logging over and over.

[@andrewwturner]

I currently have my FC there farming for Heat Vanes. I somehow had no qualms slaughtering the ships but I did have a twinge of guilt abandoning the escape pods my drones had gathered before I set them to 'ignore'.

[@Doubleelforbes]

I like how when I'm pirate / material hunting in an Empire system and they email me through an "onslaught contract" - I have a look of disgust and delete it. But when I hear this plan .......... I'm making that rationalising downwards smile and stroking my chin. My dirty secret is that my gunship doesn't have cargo hold, the pirates HATE me, but it also means my radar picture gets littered with damaged / occupied escape pods and I have to ...... errrr ......... "give them a little kick".

Just came off a video talking about if new players should pick up ED in 2024 and seeing this video, I knew I had to click in. I was talking about how I think the grind is a little much for a new player if they want to quickly hop into the Thargoid War. I've paused at 0:17, but I'm really hoping you're going to say that you're mercing civvie ships in systems under attack. Because if it cuts out 80 hours from the engineering/mat grind, I will reinstall and throw on my eyepatch and black flag so damn fast just so I can finally be done and actually engineer a ship for more than a like 2% performance increase.

I have to say. I went to Hot jup recently and it simply isn't as good as dav's hope. I mean, yeah, shooting ships is fun, but at dav's hope you can fly there, go to 330 m from ground, drop limpets, and relog. It is so much more reliable than trying to find HGEs and shooting ships.

[@Mile13Gaming]

Oh totally. I've put in a few hours at Dav's Hope as well. I find Hot Jupiter breaks the immersion less since I'm not re-logging over and over. They both serve their purpose though. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@ChadZLumenarcus]

I'm trying to get back in this game and I have to say, the materials collection for ship and space legs stuff is one of the dumbest things made in gaming. The fact you can't go to a store and buy these materials to load up on, stuff that every NPC seems to have except you, is narrative breaking and forces you to have to perform illegal acts to obtain stuff that everyone in the galaxy collects to upgrade their own stuff. It's just dumb. This is poor game design. It's a grind leveling mechanic based on RNG that basically makes acquiring materials in general a game of illegal loot boxing just so you can go back to playing the game. Literally just let players buy synthesis materials at the station that stays with the ship. Let players buy materials to upgrade their suits and weapons.

[@Mile13Gaming]

Yeah, it's not the best. All we can do is make fun of it. Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKnXd3djq951qtEsi=P5wVYLMNwaEupr9U if you want to laugh along... :)

The game give you choice, either to be good guy, or bad guy. That's all about your choices and favorite activities. Trying bad things doesn't make you virtual bad guy, unless you do like such type of acrivities. All those materials could be gathered good and/or interesting ways - fighting fugitives, pirating in protected systems, looking for hi grade wrecks, vacuuming Dave's Hope. Even Hot Jupiter slaughter is not an easy activity, you need to have some strategy.
