Where do you find Conductive Polymers now that Outbreak Anarchy isn't a thing?
Id like to get my hands on those mats WITHOUT getting 10 notoriety in the process, if i just need to bounty hunt anacondas, then so be it, but would be nice to know if there are any alternatives.

You can also find them in conflict zones.

You can just trade them for other materials.

All raw minerals - Easily filled by farming Crystalline shards in two trips....yes filled.
All encoded - Jameson crash site. It takes a few trips but you can easily fill all encoded in a few hours.
All manufactured - Go for small high pop systems. Scan nav beacons and collect all high grades. This takes a bit longer but you can fill and trade all.

In just a few hours you could fill everything using a small ship with decent jump range. If you like to engineer this only needs to be done every couple/few months.

Ah, so trading the other rank 5 mats is better than trying for the conductives themselves?

But the game HAS made a lot of improvements too. My favorite is the scanner and knowing exactly where the HGE's are makes it SOOOO much easier

In my experience yes. I am not the best player ever nor am I even in the top 100. But I do like to engineer my ships to work how I like. So with help from a few youtube videos I now have all of the engineering mats I need for several ships after just a few hours of farming.

Then just trade for the lower grade. I did it until I was full of everything. Shards took 2 trips to get full. Crash site took 6-10 but you only have to make the trip from Diaguandri so 2 jumps. You can self destruct after gathering. Small cheap ship like DBX or Cobra works here. I say Diaguandri because once you're full of the tier 5 mat you can self destruct to the Material trader there and start again.
