I can only confirm that. I've too seen an Orb-Orb combination (which i thought was peculiar) but since i haven't found an Orb yet, i can't say more...
I went to Felice Dock... Back to Meene then... Thanks for the tip.

Yes, it is possible to collect tissue samples without engaging Thargoid ships in combat, but it does take some preparation.
You will need a Research Limpet Controller and some limpets to actually collect samples.
You will need Heatsinks - possibly as many as you have utility slots for on your ship.
Once set up, locate the thargoid ship you want to sample, drop in, lock on to the thargoid ship, launch your research limpet.
Switch to silent running - use your heat sinks to keep cool until the research limpet returns. Note that you may need to adjust your position to stay in range of the research limpet.
Is that tactic legit? Even the medusa won't fire?
Sounds like a plan.
It's times like this that I really wish we had even a small amount of commodity storage - corrosive resistant of course.
Well, what do i wrong?

Although I cannot read (I think German). It looks like you have taken on the old Ram Tah mission. Not the NEW one. I could tell because when you go to the left panel the mission reward is only 10 million. You need to go back to the Meene system and go dock at Mitchell Dock. It is an outstation so only small to medium ships. When you dock you will automatically get the new mission assigned. Then go back to the Guardian sites and try scanning again.
I really wish that Frontier deleted the old Ram Tah mission before starting this one. Save all the confusion just s little..

You have the wrong Ram Tah mission. You need to go back to Meene and dock at Mitchell Dock to get the correct mission.
I have the new Ram Tah mission. I got it at Weber Dock. I did the old one three times so I know the difference.
The completion reward is 30M. My current mission status so far is 10M from 10 successful scans.
It's bugged - simple as.
Well, i did this but it did not happen as described. Perhaps because i first dumped the (old?) mission and then went to Mitchell Dock. Anyway, i'll try again tomorrow.
I can't read German, so I can say for sure, but.. it's possible, as stated that you had the wrong mission active - OR, it's possible this is a bug/glitch. I have found more than a few sites and obelisks that do not respond or respond that the combination of objects is incorrect. This certainly wouldn't be the first time these sorts of missions were bugged.
It is, though caution is highly recommended - keep your distance and keep it cold, and you won't be discovered.
As above, this wouldn't be the first time these sort of missions were bugged. Anybody else remember the original Ancient Ruins bugged mission where you had to swarm a site with commanders and take turns logging off and on to even get an obelisk to light? Or the second round where Tech 6 was simply left out? These have always been my favorite missions and favorite types of missions, and proof that Frontier needs a select external testing group specifically for testing this sort of thing during the beta period - one perhaps under an NDA so they don't blab it out here.
Not yet, help us make one.
Can someone point me to a good guide for the second Ram Tah mission? I have collected the artifacts but have yet to have a successful scan... frustrating.
I've done a few myself so I can tell you what I know (although I'm sure others are better qualified).
So there's a list of sites over here ..
https://goo.gl/cSkDW2
Go to the "Site list" tab, you want the ones marked as "Stucture" in the "Type" column.
When you get to a site you need to drive around looking for up-ended Toblerone shaped obelisks that have a blue glow. When you drive up to them you'll see patterns of lights forming the shapes listed over here:

Get the two items listed in your SRV's cargo (it's probably easiest if you fill your ship with at least one of each item - the items can be found lying around the Guardian sites) the target the obelisk and scan it with your data scanner.

I'm attempting an overview - the obelisk solution is Cmdr Dreamstate's

Thanks for the reply... but I need Thargoid items to scan an obelisk? And the anti corrsion cargo hold? Seriously?
OK, thank you so much.
It is unclear if these are bugged or if there is some particular meaning to them. What I have found is that when I find these kinds of obelisks, is:
If I find another obelisk in the same cluster that has a different obelisk pattern - and each cluster of Obelisks typically have one common artifact type, these flashing double-orb obelisks will normally respond to whatever that common artifact is, and any or even no other artifacts.
For the sake of example, if a cluster is a Language cluster, that is, the other obelisks in that cluster all require a Tablet + Something else, a double-flashing-orb Obelisk will resolve with a Tablet + Anything (Or nothing) else.
I don't suspect this was the intended display of these, hence I suspect a bug, and this is just a default "I-don't-know-what-to-display" pattern.
And we now have a complete list of all the Pictograms:
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Update to odd behavior - I was just at Col 173 Sector OE-P D6-11 B3 (2.00 -10.67) beta site. Group E was entirely missing, Group N's orientation was shifted 90 degrees and the obelisk in Group I displaying CaUr responded instead to TaCa (giving L10 info), while the obelisk in Group N showing OrOr responded to Ta giving L8 info. Group N also has an obelisk showing TaTa but I already had that info (L9) so could not confirm what it did or did not respond to and there are no longer any L13 or L14 obelisks in that that group (as had been previously documented).
Group L is documented as having an OrRe obelisk but there is only an OrOr there now and I'm not sure what it responded to as I already have all that Tech data.

I've found a couple of these odd obelisks at a few locations. My findings so far:
If a combination is incorrect, it will generate the standard "You're doing it wrong" message from Ram Tah.
If a combination is partially correct, it will not generate a message from Ram Tah, but will generate a "That's not right" message.
If a combination is correct, but the data is already possessed, it will generate no message at all and will award Pattern Data normally.
