Manufacturing Instructions how?

[R3DSKULL]

Is there a way to get manufacturing instructions? I keep seeing 3 and 5 year old videos saying find this satellite and do logoff tactics to try to get them.

A. i dont really want to play with log on log off tactics to find items.
B. whenever i try the sats are gone even if i try to do it that way.

So far only way i found them was one time i found 15 for a mission reward but not again since.
Some videos say raid settlements but i find like one in every 20 settlements i raid. and i do go to industrial all the time.

Anyone know a solid way to get these seemingly silly rare Manufacturing instructions so i can continue to upgrade my gear. I have watched pretty much every youtube video and non seem to have a solid way to get them.

Really, for reliability, mission rewards are the best way to go now for just about anything.

They boosted the rewards some months ago so you now get a decent supply in return.

Plus by doing missions you remove the RNG factor, as long as you don't fail that is.

Of course, there is still the RNG factor of them being offered as a reward, so combine checking the mission board every time you dock and the NPCs on the concourse and if nothing, go do something else.

Also, while RNG is a factor, sometimes a particular station won't reliably offer what you want but moving to a different station and it might.

Team up with 3 others, and if you all take missions with MI rewards you can get 60 at a time by sharing.

can get them from missions while grinding rep too. doesnt have to be the main focus. unless it is

yeah im currently focused on upgrading gear primarily and i do tons of raiding so this is my bottleneck.

Pickup, with your ship, a bootleg liquor mission.
At the target there will be a crashed satellite with a data port.
Aslong you don't pickup the bootleg liquor you can relog and do the data port again and again.

Do you talk to all the NPC mission givers in the starport? If you're allied and/or decent merc rank you can negotiate upwards. E.g. get 25 MI from one mission.
