I believe they are IFF countermeasures packs... obtained at defense 3.
Hope this helps

The other day, someone mentioned something that had a 2:1 xp return rather than the 4:1 return for chassis.
I don't get to grind chassis much, as I am out of aluminum, and I'm selling weapons and armor off the bazaar faster than I can spit (but can't get them to travel to my store, for some reason)... at only 25 to 50 xp per item, this is a VERY slow grind... so I'd really like to know what the aforementioned item was. The original poster was not clear on the name of the schematic, though, and nothing is ringing a bell for me.

Actually, I think they might have mean 2 units of resources to1 xp which is quite high. Most chassis xp are less than 0.5 xp per unit of resource.
The only thing that makes the grind fast is that you can create less than 20 chassis to get a box done. That is assuming that you have the resources on hand. If you were sitting on the 4.6 million in resources when you start the grind, you could master is less than 2.5 hours by building chassis.
Keep pecking away at it as you build components and get more aluminum for chassis. It will come. At least you are making money on the components rather than just grinding away resources in practice mode.

So far, all the chassis have been 0.25xp. The previous poster mentioned something that gave 0.6.

I thought .25 was close, but since I am at work, I just had to ballpark it where I knew it would not be wrong, hence the "less than 0.5".
It kind of sucks in some ways, but if it was even like 1.00 the xp requirements would have to be ridiculous or you would have 5000 Master Shipwrights on every server!

If I were to go to the Jinda caves / Warrenand grind for 3 hrs and 45 minutes, I know I would get more xp than I do running missions. Would I gain multiple visibility (i.e. more than 1 kill to take me off the boards?)

think of the vis meter as a thermometer starting at 0 and ending at 100
same faction flys past (within 32m) when you equip / unequip adds say 15 points to the meter
different faction person flys past adds say 25 to the meter
go in the warren = instant 100 and on terms due to the numbers in there
ok so now you are on the terms and a bh comes and kills you, takes 10 off the meter so you are at 90
use force, equip in front of 1 person of own faction +15 points again so over 100 so on terms again
hopefully you get the idea and whilst the numbers are not completely accurate its good enough
PS dont grind in the warren, its soooooooo lame

Maybe I'm not making myself clear.
I have read before that people have been killed multiple times by BHs (when they were supposed to be off the BH Boards). You are supposed to be wiped clean off of the boards after the 1 BH kills you.
My question is, if I go grind somewhere to get alot of xp quick, and it would get me visibility, would it be possible such that, it would take more than 1 BH to get me off the boards? (YES, or NO)

U get off the boards - but if the bh still has ur mission - then u can be killed 5 times if the bh doesnt get bored waiting to kill u and goes after someone else.
