"Salvage from Singal Sources" Materials needed
I'm having a hard time finding dispersion plates, conductive ceramics, heat conduction wiring, etc. These materials, under engineers, state "Compenents found in ships: frequently used by haulage vessels. Know to be salvaged from signal sources." I need these materials and it's the only set I can't find. Working on getting grade 5 for Todd Blaster. I'm at 3 currently. Anyone have any good suggestions on finding them? Are you seeing them more as signal sources or on planet surfaces? Would love to get incendiary rounds on my corvette.

Get into a fight. Win. Pick through the wreckage.
Or find Unknown/Salvage signals.

I probably should have listed what I'm talking about because you make it sound like it's easy.

I've kiled about 100 ships and I still can't find heat disperion plates, conductive cermaics, heat conduction wiring. All I am getting are alloys and shield emmiters, etc. I've done mining for materials, not fragments, I've gone on surface planets and gathered materials... Under the materials I NEED, it says "Compenents found in ships: frequently used by haulage vessels. Know to be salvaged from signal sources." I've gone through atleast 30 + signal sources ranging from fire detected, data signals, threats, patterns, etc. I have NO IDEA where to find them... Very frustruating.

For heat conductive ceramics, dispersion plates and heat conduction wiring, destroy trade ships. Do it in an Anarchy system if you want to avoid bounties.

If you'd rather salvage them from signal sources, try and stick to flying around Shipping Lane areas in supercruise.

Awesome, thanks. I'll take a look! Appreciate the help.

Re: higher tier materials, if you rank up all the way with various factions will they give you access to some of these top flight materials, too? I've never ranked up with a faction before, but I'm trying to now and I've noticed that even at 'Cordial' they give out some pretty cool gear I've never seen before just looking about randomly

what type of gear? I'm not sure. I've heard about a certain place giving out class 2-3 special thrusters for smaller ships, which further increase speed without modding

Not gear, top level crafting resources.

I could be wrong as I'm just going by what I've noticed so far, but it seems that the higher difficulty missions give higher grade materials. I'm not sure if reputation is related to the difficulty of missions offered though as I'm already on good terms with the station I'm running missions out of.

I just ranked up to cordial with one and I can confirm some of the missions now have 'better' materials as rewards. it will be interesting to see what they offer when I'm ranked up fully

I see. I know you can get materials anywhere, they aren't mission exclusive unless they probably say so before crafting in the description. Still learning myself but thanks, I'll keep thati n mind.
