High Energy Catalyst best place to grind ?

[FlashXAron ☕ (Alex)]

in about 300h I only had around 70, used some time ago around 40 for my SYN and now wanted to install better weapons , but you don't get ANY of them back ...
and that RNG is a joke from 1% to 20% ...
so last chance is to load and save ...

BUT is there a legal way to find that HEC in larger quantity ?

Which enemy drops that ?

Thanks

Seems unbalanced as it needs 3 ... as it is by far the fewest droprate from all other basic building materials I had over 200 and there you even need only 1 and from HEC you need 3 ...

Have a scout or cheap ship collect drops from war zone in a repeat order you will never really run out of crafting materials just through passive play

Yeah, repeat order looters are the way to go for this.
Look for gates to Xenon space, there's pretty much always combat around those.
Put the collect drops order so that it barely touches the gate (keeps your looter alive better than being right on top of it, especially with a station to flee to) and just go clear them out every once in a while.

Or order them to deliver to the HQ, that's also an option, but doing it yourself is faster if you have teleport researched and doesn't take time away from looting.

I have thousands of the basic crafting mats despite rerolling mods a lot just from having a couple of those looters running.
