As for the berilium, only thing i noticed in the droprate, it drops more frequently if it is obtained from a difficult source. It can be either a sector with unavoidable schitton of enemies and a lesser number of ores OR transports with heavy escort (can be recognized by 4-ore drops instead of 3-ore when killed and the escort ships drop nuthin’). The mysterious cargo sometimes gives enriched which is fairly random but these days i get it more often but only when passing through sectors like water harvest, scrapyard and terra, in short sectors just before entering the ones in the middle of the map. There is no limit on the danger level of a sector, just plain difficulty to survive when searching/finding.
Thats all i know, needs some serious time invested in it to prove it or make some real drop data.
it is amazing info ORCA (^.^) , May I add this information to my guide? , just asking your permission[because it is your info] :fed001:
I know it is been long time … but because I’m trying to see every reports if it is valid information or not also due to my limited time :001j: , sooner or later the post will be updated with sooo many information :005j:
It will be a major updated information, stay tuned! :012j: .
Hey Grozny, hit me up if you are in for some farming! Also, i got a nice map for you to scribble the sectors nicely, interested? 
Is this guide still up to date? I’ve only found 2-3 Neodium Ores so far, and it seems we can get destroyer components with max synergy rank 8/11/14 ships? Not sure what to do right now, open space seems to have been nerfed into oblivion.
This post still have a valid information ”)[Depending to the reports received from other pilots]
