Steel. We use it in just about everything. You want high OQ on everything for a SW, then I would say con is the 2nd most important stat.

I can't think of a Schematic that doesn't need steel. Oh, wait.. Mass Reduction Upgrades for Armor are Aluminum/Aluminum. Everything else is steel. I'm always, always hunting more steel.

Just about every recipe is OQ/CD/UT or a variation of it -- OQ/CD, OQ/UT/SR, OQ/UT/SR/MA, etc. There isn't anything doesn't have an OQ requirement.

The only named resources that we use are on a different shift cycle than the other resources. They're easy to track: each one is always spawned somewhere in the galaxy, they're always only on one planet at a time, and the spawns last 14 days or longer. Have a look for those.

Somtimes ore can be a stickler resource to SWs. I tend to have a hard time mining an area with high % so that I can keep up chassis production. I was able to luck up this past week with a spot for 65% and good stats too.But yeah like everyone said, steel is a must especially in chassis building. Also, you might be able to make some good money selling crap steel to grinding SWs. I remember times when I really needed that steel to get more xp.So,I'd say steer your sights on Steel, Aluminum, Ore, Iron, Fiberplast, and Inert Petrochemical. The order I namedthem is greatest importance to least. Usually the latter 2 aren't too difficult to get. Iron has it's moments. The other 3 though tend to be difficult sometimes and run into a dry period. I remember not seeing Aluminum for quite a few weeks. Sometimes really good resources take awhile to spawn also. So, when you find something really good, get a good stockpile.
