High Grade Emissions
- Main article: Unidentified Signal Source
High Grade Emissions are a type of signal source where certain Rare and Very Rare Manufactured Materials can be obtained. They are empty aside from the free-floating materials and occasionally a single, non-hostile ship that will eventually depart.
Signal Contents
High Grade Emissions will generate certain very rare manufactured materials, depending on individual Faction States and the allegiance of the controlling faction:
- Federal systems:
- Imperial systems:
- Civil Unrest faction states:
- War or Civil War faction states:
- Boom or Expansion faction states:
- Outbreak faction states and population > 1,000,000:
Signals are assigned to a faction. Signals contents will be based on the assigned faction. When a faction has more than one condition, materials spawned will be chosen by a hidden rank order. The above list attempts to order them in rank priority. (e.g. a Federation or Imperial faction will never have anything other than composites or shielding, respectively.)
Spawn Locations
High Grade Emissions usually appear in deep space or occasionally in spheres of influence. Scanning a system's Nav Beacon can cause High Grade Emissions to appear if none are already present.
They are most common in high population systems (1 million or more). You can use https://inara.cz/elite/nearest/ along with the following chart to find High Grade Emissions sites.
Notes
In Federal and Imperial systems, any High Grade Emissions present will have their status as "N/A" or "Civil Liberty".
