Ive been searching for this item in level 40-55 systems from all factions without success for quite some time.

Any help would be appreciated,

Sincerely.

There is no sure fire way to find items unless it is race specific, and even then you will find it when you find it.

I'm not sure, but it seems like some things can't be bought. Only obtained in battle or as a quest reward.
This is how I got normal and heavy energy armor

Have not encountered what OP is asking for through purchase means either after 100 systems visited. My money is on the previous post above, obtained in battle or as a quest reward. About to do a lot of those elite kill missions so we'll soon see.

So far as I know, Energy Armor (and Heavy Energy Armor) can't be bought in shops, it has to be found off of ships. I found my first one yesterday after dozens of hours of playing, it's that rare. I believe I got it off of a Red Skull ship. Your chances are random and Energy Armor is very rare.

Combat with high level enemies is the only way.

If you're dead set on finding it, you need to farm high level gold star enemies. You can do this in two ways.

1: Fight ravagers (the big boss icons you see in certain sectors). They will always drop ancient relics and have a good shot of dropping orange gear and very rare items that can't be bought in shops. Best bet is looking for sectors with no population when jumping around, those are the ones with Ravagers. You want high level (52) sectors.

2: Farm pirate invasion fleets. Any faction that you're enemies with will work. Go to a high level (52) enemy controlled system, then just hang out. After a minute or two, they will send what's called a hunter fleet after you which will have a bunch of gold star enemies in it. Kill, loot, repeat. You can stay in the same sector or jump back and forth between 2 sectors for a slightly faster turnaround. You'll pick up a good amount orange gear along the way as well.

Good luck.
