There is a [b]very easy way to get shards very fast[/b], since the "Queens Wrath" missions are available. Follow these steps.
[b]Step 1[/b] : Get the Queens bounties and do as much as you want (each that you do gets you to about 3 shards.)
[b]Step 2[/b] : Go do her mission(s) that are there, if you don't get the mission on earth for a warp drive, just leave (orbit) and go back until you get that mission.
[b]Step 3[/b] : After you do that mission, dismantle the legendary gear that you got, and you get about 3 shards each time you dismantle a legendary.
[b]Step 4[/b] : Keep on completing as much missions as you want, and then you will rinse and repeat with the same process.

Edited by AndyDanielsx: 9/25/2014 11:10:33 PMTrue it no longer works but they were rather easy to get...the shards are rare after all.
