Elite: Game talk

I could need a poke in the right direction from some fine, well informed fellow captain:
It came to my attention that the material in question is the Hardened Surface Fragments and I need alot of this stuff. As far as my intel is informed, that stuff is found at the surface of living titans - of which we have a grave shortage right now.
Is there any alternative source known to you, fine lads?

However, you also have no need for it with the absence of (active) Titans and their anti-Guardian fields, as well as the lack of Glaives. The only thing it’s used for is putting on the magic stuff that prevents the Guardian things from melting. Somehow. And for some reason it uses Thargoid stuff even though it’s supposed to be some funky Guardian nanobots that are somehow not melting like the rest of them are. (But you also can’t slap it on modified Guardian guns because it’s a separate engineer effect.)
Doesn’t serve to look into the actual lore of it too much…

I` m currently doing some on food missions but I do not get any materials in any settlement. no mats, no data in terminals, nothing. The only material I get is mission rewards. All crates, or shelfes, even the locked once are empty. Is there any known issue in this regards?
Thanks for your help and info.

AbbysHi,
I` m currently doing some on food missions but I do not get any materials in any settlement. no mats, no data in terminals, nothing. The only material I get is mission rewards. All crates, or shelfes, even the locked once are empty. Is there any known issue in this regards?
Thanks for your help and info.
I don't know about food missions but when I want a variety of materials plus Credit, I do the Robigo Run, a passenger mission from Robigo mines.
They nerfed it, you don't fill up your cabins as fast as before but the material is generally top, Grade 4 Raw/5 Manufactured, Encoded, other than that I've been running the signals, especially High Grade and was able to top up a Grade 5 in one run several times over, you need to look at the info for the material you're after to find the systems where to find them, scan the beacon and there you go...
If you're interested by the Passenger mission at Robigo, all you need is a shieldless Python with 7 cabins including first class (I use a Type-8 Transporter), disembarking passengers asking to kill enemies (or else you'll be interdicted by them) and 30 Ly Jump range (2 X Jumps from Robigo to Sothis).
>>>>>
Here is an example of what I'm saying. If you start in such a High Grade Emission site from zero, you'll fill your inventory with 2 Limpets providing you have more than 5 mn (they are timed).
You can do that with a Cobra MK3...
