Having a blast right now. The unfun engineering material grind always kept me from building more ships and investing more time. Now it's much better balanced with the deterministic engineering rolls (each grade needs exactly the grade number if rolls to finish, e.g. g4 needs 4, g3 3 ....) and the increased payouts from missions.
Agreed. HGE farming has me totally done with manufactured material farming. A trip to the rim (don't have the systems handy but there's an excel doc online) gave me planets with crystal forests of every grade 4 raw minus selenium, and the Jameson crash site fills most of my encoded needs. After a few days farming I hardly need to do anything to engineer whatever I want.
Also I like doing combat missions, and the material rewards are great at higher levels.
Checkout the "Brain Tree" farm for raw materials, filled up pretty much all of my materials in a few hours and it's conveniently 200-300ly within shinrarta dezra.
