How exactly do you 'farm' Dav's Hope, and the Jameson crash?
Because I've just been to both and they didn't seem to have very much mats/data, when all was said and done.
Do you just wait around for a bit for respawn? Log off and log back on again?

I don't mind repeated trips to these places, but if there's a way to expedite the process, I sure wouldn't mind knowing it.

I try and see how fast i can do Dav's Hope by going around in a circle while grabbing every material.
Ah yes, Dav's Hope.......AKA "The Track".

Don't forget to scan that data point every time too. :)

Should be around minute, minute and half mark iirc (or maybe 1:50, can't remember exactly).

A lot of time is now wasted due to that layered menu that did absolutely nothing but added more hoops to jump through.

I think I did it four times yesterday before becoming bored and moving on...definitely going to try making a mini-game out of it, great advice lol

Making the best lap time and collect all the materials there ;-)

A minute? Too slow man, way too slow.

As long as the materials don't roll on spawn, so they are where you expect them to be, just over 30 seconds should be possible.

Forget menus, just target with whatever key you have bound to target ahead as you approach.

Depends on whether you count the time to scan the data point as well.

I take my start time from the moment the scan is complete and then do a circuit and count it as finished when i grab the last material.

I'm counting the entire round including the menus and the data scan because that's what the farming run actually contains.

As for the menus, i'm of course talking about relog procedure to start new run cycle.

EDIT:
Ofc that's the start of the farming cycle, it shortens over time as you are filling your cargo for the common data/parts and you are now focusing solely on the rarer parts.

Eventually you reach the point when the run is no longer worth the time as you are targeting specific parts/data of things which droprate is just too low.
