File:Elite Dangerous - General Commentary - The Ideal Signal Source

Signal Sources work like public events in a massive online multiplayer game, think Destiny 2 or World of Warcraft, except that the signals which players can detect are local to your individual computer system, so other players can’t see them until after someone drops in with a team beacon active.

Anyone who gets deep enough into the engineering system to need grade five materials will understand the frustration. The most time efficient way to get most grade five manufactured materials is to farm high grade emission signals. Doing this successfully requires researching the specific conditions which cause high grade emissions, and specifically cause the desired material to appear.
