Where to find Proprietary Composites?

[Goose]

o7 CMDRs I am looking for Proprietary Composites or just any composites in general for Hull reinforcement Engineering

I have tried folllowing the wikis advice of going to Federal systems in Election state and searching for HGEs and also tryna find scrap from destroyed federal ships in CZs but cannot find any after like an hour of searching.

You'll get these mats from destroyed ships, they aren't lying around.

I'm currently collecting them in conflict zones, but you can also get them from RES sites.

If you don't have a capable PVE build, go to High RES sites and kill wanted ships there (the larger the ships you kill, the better), you'll have help from local authority vessels there.

You'll want to carry collector limpet modules + limpets, in order to quickly collect all the juicy mats left in the debris.

LOCATION: USS (Encoded emissions), USS (High grade emissions), Mission reward

Or just find the nearest materials trader:

Another (less scrupulous) way to get manufactured materials is to go to a system in "Famine" that is also "Anarchy". In this system you will find a POI called "Distribution Center". When you drop into it you will see several NPC Type-9's sitting there handing-out food to small ships that constantly jump in and out of the instance. If you are in an "Anarchy" system, then you can destroy the Type-9's without security responding and without getting a crime level.

The Type-9's will respawn after a bit so you can sit there and grind manufactured materials until you are full. You can also grind encoded data if you bring a wake scanner since ships will be jumping in and out continuously.

I won't guarantee Proprietary Composites, but you'l get enough Manufactured Materials to trade for them at a materials trader.

Bring collection limpets... Type-9's drop a lot of materials.

I'd use EDDB, system search for federal/election, sort population high to low and go down the list.

Shoulda mentioned I have tried it to no luck guess RNG really hates me today

I'm getting high density composites, proprietary composites, polymer capacitors, hybrid capacitors, etc. from ships I destroy in CZs.

Come to Caraceni system, we'll have some fun.

Keep in mind that smaller ships like cobras, eagles, asps, etc. are likely to only drop common mats...they're a waste of time.

If you want rare and very rate mats, you'll need to kill larger ships (anacondas are specially juicy).

As for killing distribution T9s in famine anarchy systems, I don't think you'll get these specific materials there, but you'll get other equally important ones (ie for FSD engineering)

High Grade Emissions > Boom state

Just plot a course with boom state as the filter. Each system you pop into, hop into the nav beacon and scan it, then hop back out to super. If they have a high grade emission (in the navigation panel), hit it, if not, move onto the next system on your route.

Even if these don't get you what you want, it will get you tier 5 manufactured materials, which you can then trade for what you want at a material trader.

go to Dav's Hope and farm for a couple hours.

Just got 30+ proprietary composites, high density composites and a trainload of other mats in high CZs (Caraceni system).

All you need is a PVE capable ship with collector limpets.

3 or 4 battles should do it.

Then go to a material trader
