R&D

Ive been slowy but surely working my way up on R&D, for the reason that its been made clear by the devs, that R&D is going to play a much bigger role in the future. When i returned, with some help from people, i was able to relearn the new system of doing R&D at memory alpha. My problem is this, the drop on anonymous readings is completely random. Meaning i am unable to go to a certain area and know i will get a certain anonymous reading, if i work at grinding said area. The requirements for R&D is high to make matters worse the price cost on some of these anonymous readings on the exchange is getting insane. Unknown Alloy goes for 5 to 10k, but to be honest mostly 5k, so i figured that encoded data wouldnt be to bad eather. I was wrong, people are selling one encoded data 25k+. Now ive done proffesions in previous mmos, the exchange is supposed to be the fill in spot, when you find your short by one or 5. It is not supposed to be the main source, but given the fact that these anonymous readings are completely random, the exchange becomes the main source of anonymous readings. I am no stranger to grind, and i dont mind working for something, but i atleast need a targeted area that i know will have said item in it mostly. The problem with random is you could work for a whole hour in one area and get mostly of one item but get shorted on another item.

Now before everyone wants to burn me at the stake lol, if someone has a targeted area for encoded data, where by encoded data drops alot. Then by all means please share and prove me wrong. I would like nothing more then to be wrong on this subject, but i dought i am.

Ive posted this here because this post is both asking for help and pointing something out :D
