Research Limpet Controllers.
Yes, I've definitely got those on the Carrier.
Jumps to Trifid Nebula.
Oh dear. Those aren't Research Limpet Controllers.

I saw your FC next to mine m8, there was one FC there when Namix and myself arrived in our FCs and I noticed your FC making it four in that system when I logged off.
Sadly I dont have any outfitting on my FC sorry m8. I have spare Research limpets but that doesn't help you any sadly
Handy tip for when you do get some:-
You can nudge the pods into a cluster and fire 1 limpet at each and not have to move the nose around too much that way.
I went through 600+ limpets and that was enough for one night

Same
Beat me to that one
How many research limpets you running with? I'm not FC'ing things so only have 4 fit, for 512t cargo.
Pod Core Tissue appears to be missing from the commodity list at Jaques Station. Help.

Been using 5 tonight on a 600ish cutter, will try 7 or 8 tomorrow. see if its much faster.
Tonight's results were :-
Pod Core Tissue 104
Pod Dead Tissue 343
Pod Surface Tissue 116

It could be faster, provided you knock a group of 7 or 8 together. Personally, I find the clutches of pods are too sparse to bother doing that.
Gotta go do some chores, but here's where I'm pausing for now:
The same thing happened when Betancourt Base was meant to accept Thargoid goop at a premium. Maybe it needs the tick to happen, maybe FD need to intervene. Last time @Kietrax or someone similar raised it through a CM?
FC Goddard QHF-88M is offering taxi services for the CG. All services except ship and module sales will be available.
FLIGHT PLAN
Current: Lao Zi - refueling (Tritium donations not required but much appreciated)
Departure 1: @ 01.09 0400 UTC (01.08 2000 PST)
Destination 1: Trifid Sector DL-Y d157
Departure 2: @ 01.11 0400 UTC (01.10 2000 PST)
Destination 2: Colonia or nearby system
RETURN is T.B.D.! We may be staying in the Colonia area for a while, so best to make other arrangements to return to the bubble.
*Listed times are estimates. To avoid stranding anyone, FC Goddard will not depart before the listed time, but may be delayed.

Yup - different pods, different samples. And different return rates that seem based on price.
Do you even play this game?
Edit: I was musing earlier about the highest price samples being mainly from gyre pods - which are very remote.
So... I did have distant memory that this was the case... but I couldn't recall, since it was a good year ago when I sampled a quadrapite.Yup - different pods, different samples. And different return rates that seem based on price.

Anyways, 510t in the hold, on my way up to Colonia now
Well, there aren't that many different fundamental quest types. This quest and salvage are both FedEx quests - pick up items in one location, deliver them at a different location. What makes it exploration-focused to me is that the pickup location(s) is far in uninhabited space.
If we're going to get pedantic about exploration CGs, then strictly speaking you should only get credit for newly discovered systems, newly mapped worlds, and newly discovered (i.e. nobody else has found before) codex items in a particular system. Not first time you've found a codex entry, but the first time anyone has in that particular system. Even the recent ammonia world scanning CG wasn't really exploration, since the vast majority of people used Road to Riches, which only goes to previously discovered systems.
Merely travelling between the two, sure, that's pretty easy. Though more to the point, a lot of the interest in Colonia requires it to be more than a few jumps from the bubble.
Even then, I wouldn't expect many people from the bubble to bother to show up to even a standard trade CG in Colonia.
Yeah. I think it's more of a "filtering" thing.
A normal CG, you'll get people showing up for just a couple of runs then back to whatever else they were doing, and people staying there all week because that's what they enjoy.
This one you really have to commit to doing it, so all the people who'd show up to a normal CG for a couple of runs are out. It's also in Colonia, so you'd expect far fewer people to show up.
I've got a plan for it now, though, so, I'll definitely be trying to add a second Colonia CG decal to my collection.
Meanwhile the first two deliveries are in, 42t between them. We can do this
(I think FCs are probably the most efficient way to go about it if you have a full team on it - a FC has a much higher cargo/LY/hour rate than an Anaconda or Cutter - but yeah, I'm just going to use one for "being moved several thousand LY while I'm at work makes the whole thing much easier")
Just decals I guess? No fancy module rewards that I missed in the explanation?
I don't think anybody said it's hard, just tedious.
If you have to commute 5h to work everyday, it wouldn't be hard to do, but you'd still rather avoid it if you had a choice.
They need to sort out the Pod Core Tissue issues - those are returned by nearly all pods - Stolen & Gyre don't return them, but both are very very far away ...
Edit: Unless they're trying to simulate the lossy nature of Thargoid sampling ... but with Pods

Ok, I worked out the closest farming spots that don't give Core Tissue samples. That's a big nope from meThey need to sort out the Pod Core Tissue issues - those are returned by nearly all pods - Stolen & Gyre don't return them, but both are very very far away ...

I raised an issue https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/22335, but doubt it's the best route to get this corrected. Hopefully Kietrax can kick them.
