Mission Objective: 15 - Collect Ship Engineering Materials

Encoded Materials

CMDR John Jameson's Crash Site

Time-efficient Collection Method

1. Outfit a Ship with a Planetary Vehicle Hangar and Detailed Surface Scanner
2. Hyperspace Jump to HIP 12099 and Supercruise over to HIP 12099 1 B
3. DSS this Moon to reveal Jameson's Crash Site
4. Land close to the crashed Cobra MkIII and Deploy your SRV
5. Park your SRV at the center of four Comms Controls (they are in a diamond formation)
6. Use your Data Link Scanner, in Turret mode, to Scan all four Comms Controls
7. Exit to Main Menu, then log back in and repeat until your Atypical Encryption Archives and Adaptive Encryptors Captures are full.
8. Head to Ray Gateway to trade your Atypical Encryption Archives and Adaptive Encryptors Captures for your desired Encoded Materials, then head back for more until your Material requirements are met.

Recreational Collection Method

Equip all of your Ships with a power hungry Frame Shift Wake Scanner and scan any and all Wakes you come across at Stations, Surface Settlements, Resource Extraction Sites, and Combat Zones.

Multi-tasking Collection Method

Outfit a Combat Ship and equip it with a Frame Shift Wake Scanner. Find different Stations in some nearby Systems that allow you to stack Massacre Missions, where all of your Mission Targets can be found at a nearby Resource Extraction Site [Hazardous]. Destroy your targets while keeping an eye out for any ships Jumping out the of the Resource Extraction Site. Scan their FSD High Wakes for Encoded Materials. This method earns you Credits, Combat Rank, and Faction Reputation while collecting your Encoded Materials. This can be conjoined with the Multi-tasking Collection Method for Manufactured Materials.

Notable Encoded Material Traders

Ray Gateway outpost in the Diaguanri system

This Encoded Material Trader is the closest one to Jameson's Crash Site.

Encoded Material List

The following lists contain each Material's Name, Type, Sub-type, Grade, the maximum amount you can carry, if it is tradable or not at a Station's Material Trader, and the arguably most time efficient way to stock up on said Material. Use INARA to locate a Material Trader near you.

Manufactured Materials

Time-efficient Collection Method

1. Equip a Ship with a Collector Limpet Controller and Cargo Racks
2. Fill your Cargo Capacity with Limpets
3. Use the Manufactured Material List below to locate what type of High Grade Emission you need to find
4. Open the Galaxy Map and set your Pilot's Federation Map Mode to filter the Allegiance and/or State, depending on the Manufactured Materials you're looking for
5. Set the Population Range to max, then move the top slider down three to five clicks
6. Hyperspace Jump to your selected System, then Supercruise to the Nav Beacon
7. Scan the Nav Beacon, then return to Supercruise
8. Open your Externals Panel (to your left, in the cockpit) and set a filter for your Navigation, showing you only Signal Sources
9. Locate a High Grade Emissions Signal Source and Supercruise to it (if there isn't one, try another System)
10. Fly up the drifting debris, deploying your Collector Limpets and Cargo Scoop
11. Once the final Limpet has dropped off it's Manufactured Material, use Task Manager to end Elite Dangerous
12. Relaunch the same version of Elite Dangerous you were just in
13. Once you are back in your cockpit, leave your throttle at zero, then engage your Boost and Frame Shift Drive
14. As soon as you get into Supercruise, Pitch up to turn your ship 180 degrees
15. While pitching up, target the closest Unknown Signal Source to you (it will be the HGE you were just at)
16. Get back in and repeat until the HGE's duration has expired

Recreational Collection Method

1. Outfit a Ship with a Planetary Vehicle Hangar (Scarab SRV) and Detailed Surface Scanner
2. Hyperspace Jump to Hyades Sector DR-V c2-23 and Supercruise over to Hyades Sector DR-V c2-23 A 5
3. DSS this Moon to reveal Dav's Hope
4. Land close to Dav's Hope and Deploy your SRV
5. Drive the track, Cargo Scooping all the Manufactured Materials
6. Data Link Scan the Data Point at the Gate
7. Exit to Main Menu and log back in to respawn the Manufactured Materials.
8. Repeat until you have the desired amount of Manufactured Materials
