From space scan the planets (C) in your current system. Red stars (K,M) will have rubimum mineral deposits, Green star systems (E) wil have vividriane deposits, Blue stars (B.O) will have cyanagen deposits.
My spellings are wrong but close enough you should be able to figure it out when you scan the systems planets.
In the star map (M) the system descriptions tell you what type or class of star system you have seclected. The different color star systems require different warp engine upgrades.
A google search for NMS game guide will show you way more than you want to know and spoil a lot of surprises. Reddit and steam have active NMS boards to read, but can be brutal and unforgiving to new posters.
Good Luck Traveller, I have really enjoyed NMS, I think I have over 600 hrs in it and everything I learned I got from the internet.

Have you any ideas on how or where to get warp engine upgrades i have looked at least thirty different ship with only stage one warp drive and checking bluprint traders at stations only seem to upgrade weapons.

I'm grinding may way in Survival mode now and am in a similar situation. Wimpy ship, pathetic shield, weapons that barely light up asteroids, and a minimal warp drive. Grah!
I'm pretty sure that exactly who has which blueprints has changed with the Foundation and Pathfinder releases, so some of the advice out there on the 'net may no longer apply.
General advice for finding blueprints is to talk to every alien that you meet. You can skip the farmer/scientist/etc. aliens who are looking to be hired to work at your base (unless/until you are ready to populate your base, of course). Some of the boxes that litter planets might have something useful, as well.
At some point, you should start to get a "space anomaly" to show up in the same system you're visiting. Don't leave without dropping by and talking to anyone inside.
Pay attention to the type of alien manning the little bodega inside space stations. You might discover that they have different types of upgrades (exosuit vs ship vs multi-tool). Don't know if warp blueprints are included but may be worth checking with the ship upgrade vendor.

i guess that i have to just keep keeping on have base and and all associated aliens. i warp and check every trader at the space stations i might just concentrate on warp fuel and keep warping until i find the upgrades it is fustraighting when you see what system you need to be at but need warp ungrades to reach them.
Thanks for the reply though it lets me know they are out there somewhere.

Andrew,
After thinking about your quetion, I just realized that in the options menu ( esc ) Under discoveries it will show you the color of the star of any system you have discovered. The current system you are in has a "you are here" ballon next to it. I can't believe I never noticed this before now..
Go with dashiichi's advice on finding warp engine upgrades. Sometimes the manufacturing centres will give a decent blueprint if you solve their puzzle correctly.
