Don't know if it's a new thing, but I got Materials for FSD engineering from just doing missions!

It came with the new load.

Too bad we don't have anyplace to store those items until we're ready to go visit the Engineer. Like a vault.. global vault.

If you keep it in your Cargo hold, when you enter a combat zone.. guess what. Your the target!

It's not a new thing, and it's hugely annoying.

Did a kill mission ?
No cargo space?, you can't finish the mission then....

Want to swap ship?
Better make sure it's got room for all that junk, even though you can't fit cargo racks until you are in it.
And you can't get in it since you have no cargo racks....

On top of this as soon as the new AI smell engineer stuff...

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Hello,
I'm more interested in the materials and data from missions. Any commodities I get I just sell. Can always buy commodities.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Hmm... Interesting. All the commodities I've been offered so far can be bought.
If I have to keep lugging around commodities in my ship because they can't be bought when needed and keep getting intercepted, then this really reeks of bad game design (i.e. Devs not thinking things through). Guess I shouldn't be surprised by now.

Some can be bought but most are only seeded through the mission system and once in a blue moon found at a signal source.
