Is there a mystery source I am not aware of?

KerrDoes anyone have any clue how people have managed to farm so many Meta Alloys so quickly?

I buy all I need from a fleet carrier, usually

a few month ago there was a real run after meta alloys, buying chep and selling expensive was the way all doing.. at that time the availability was very high, now the market has only a few offers, maybe farming at a thargoid site should help if you need some

But wondering where people are sourcing them from.

KerrThanks for the suggestions, I was thinking about taking part in the CG
But wondering where people are sourcing them from.
As stated before, Meta-Alloys were available in thousands a few months ago, and an easy trading commodity with high profits.
I guess, lots of commanders still had them lying around on the carriers.

Unless it has been changed the best way was to go to Thargoid crash sites and farm the resource signals there? Elite wiki, or Canonn Research will identify them.

SakashiroThargoid crash sites have sensor fragments only IIRC. Active barnacle sites have meta-alloys.

With that in mind it’s best to time your heatsink release according to circumstances, ie wether you are escaping a star exclusion zone, counteracting heat build up from a shield cell bank or running cold whilst smuggling into a Station.
One thing I haven’t tried is premium synthesis for heatsinks, which if I remember correctly (and my record there is patchy it seems

In a roasting T9 charging it's FSD while bordering a type A star a heat sink will barely cause the heat needle to move.
