I suggest to implement in Open Space a daily assignment for 1 Impure Neodium for every faction==>to craft 1 Neodium at 2 days/faction. This way it allows to ease a bit grind for this new material, because right now Destroyers obliterate everything and others to have a chance to manufacture at least one.
I, for one, searched 1 hour only in Danger 10 zones, with T5 Spatial scanner dozens of Mysterious containers, Mineral nodes and lots of Large minerals/Large crates/etc…and didnt find a single bit of Impure Neodium in one of these. I found unneeded materials, made xxxxloads of money from Light cells, crystals and other materials I dont need, but no Impure Neodium==>this is rarest thing to obtain. I think even blueprints to find have a better chance than Impure Neodium. And this is wrong.
ATM monocrystals seems to be much more easy to get compared to Impure Neodium, beeing that daily missions for them, I usually did just 1 mission/day for that in O.S. and I guaranteed get 2 of them.
Dayly mission are already boring to repeat every day… imagine more. The only maps u can find neodium are water harvest, terramorphin station and scrapyard collecting the ‘valuable minerals’ I guees. so… go to terramorphin station (have more minerals than the others) and collect valuable minerals. I got 12 neodium there yesterday in 4 hours.
I would definitely like a way to get a steady flow of Neodium, regardless of amount. The rarity at current is kind of disappointing. And the fact that destroyer containers rarely give you any neo is even worse.
I searched yesterday again 1 hour and 30 mins in Danger 10 zones and found 2 Neodium plates, but only in Mysterious containers with the help of Spatial scanner. Rest of dozens Large minerals/nodes/crates/etc. give me only crap reward.
What are doing ppl who dont own such a module? Especially beeing only obtainable with GS?
So, a daily assignment as suggested above it will be very much appreciated and necessary as well. Give the opportunity to get 1 Neodium at 2 days (from 1 Impure Neodium each day), in Danger 10 zones at least (to be harder to aquire if u want and ppl to have at least a R10 ship to reach there), instead of super crap other blue missions in maps that reward you nothing and noone makes them.

a)I got two plates out of 2 lost cargo in less then half an hour
b)new player get more then enough when they unlock new ranks
c)I think it is faster to get neodium out of lost cargo instead out of mysterious contained
I was unlucky with them (crates, cargos, nodes, minerals). And only crap in them, mostly cheap credit.
So, we, that have been around for longer time, are screwed a bit, bcz no ranks to upgrade and to benefit of free Neodium like newer players that didnt ranked many ships.
That Danger 10 zone restriction for that suggestion of daily assignment for Impure Neodium was was put there bcz newer player already have handed to them constantly, upgrading ranks till rank 10.
This is even better…but if devs should have been considered this before, monocrystals should have been gained this way also. It seems they think otherwise. So, devs, give us Impure Neodium also as daily rewards as monocrystals.
I found ore for it from asteroid nodes in rank 7 space, and occasionally a plate or ore from transports destroyed.
It’s very uncommon, but considering how many monocrystals you need (200?) for a destroyer in comparison to the necessary plates (32) it seems to make sense.
But monocrystals you can get from dailies missions at a steady rate…those neodiums are just pure luck…that’s the difference. I suggested just 1 Impure Neodium plate/day to manufacturate at 2 days, 1 Neodium Plate at a steady rate, just like monocrystals…
And with actual event that require a destroyer to use in some missions to get that beryllium currency…this is even harder for people who dont have rank 8 destroyers.

I got the last 24 impure neodium I needed in simply 2 days (playing 2 hours each) and farming in terramorphing station. I got 1 neodium every 6-10 mineral nodes. Actually it isn’t rare at all.

You need 32 neodium plates to make two internal parts. Given an average of one plate per 10 minutes (which is much luckier than I – my average over five hours was a bit over 15 minutes each) that’s a total of five hours and twenty minutes of farming. So in order to get one, a player who can play one hour a day would have to give up playing PvP, PvE, dreadnoughts, leagues, literally everything else but farming – for a little over a work week.
Of course, if that player had my luck instead, that 5:20 would turn into 8:00, making it a full week and a day, having the ability to build two internal parts on the ninth day of literally nothing but farming.
… And if they had worse luck, they’d probably never bother getting one in the first place.
I already gave up at farming Impure Neodium in Open Space. That farm/grind it isn’t for me…I better play other games.
And btw, I dont have SP ships manufactured in this game and missing 2 structures also for SP/destroyer, bcz of lack of monocrystals. But at least I get 2 monos/day.
