Well I went Tissue sampling anyway after they cancelled the CG. Got hundreds ready in my FC for the future CG (looks like I'll get a jump on everyone when it does start, I might even go and do some more as it is better than a Sensor relog fest).
I used multi limpet controller plus a 5A collector, so as to continuously send out 11 collectors and didn't hardly notice that the odd collector didn't return a sample.
Reckon I got 80-90% Tissue Samples - I RP'ed it that they were actively shaking off the collectors nibbling at them like fleas on a dog.
Wait, collectors? Surely that's a research limpet job? There isn't a size 5 controller for those.
 
I also collected tissue samples with xeno limpet controller, for possible CG, but my efficiency is about 50%. Often 2 samples with four limpets, sometimes 1 or 3, and very rarely 0 or 4. I'm really surprised with 80-90% efficiency from cmdr. Spaceman-FXL5.

Yep My bad - and I have a 3C Xeno Multi-Limpet controller to add 4 to the 8 from 7A Multi Limpet.
Banging off 12 Limpets and relaxing just like I do with Plat Mining (totally unconcerned with CR/hour), I didn't give a :poop: about 10/20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100% return rate while watching Netflix on days off, I just love doing what I like doing and as it was new to me - I did enjoy it.

If you are so concerned with 100% success rate, wait for the "Bug Fix" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - it will remain forever broken as its in Maint Mode (I'm sure FDEV will do it..................NOT!).

EDIT - On second thoughts, actually, Sally may ensure they do it though, now!

Try 12 Limpets.
 
Given their apparent reluctance towards relogging game (especially when it comes to engineering materials) we've had a disturbingly high number of relogging CGs
I'm not exactly complaining, just making an observation

Yeah, I'm not going to rage about it but they are really seeming to stomp the enthusiasm from some newer players quick with stuff that goes like this especially once they figure out that to be in the upper tiers to get any real reward means A LOT of it. Just a shame. Could be done in a way that makes it far more enjoyable for people to participate in and get some level of reward rather than all fight to see who can position their T9's just so and how much boredom they can tolerate.

Guardian site CG was similar and I think where a few them 'noped' out.
 
Wait what, you can stack multi limpet controllers now?
Nah - I just tried in EDO and EDH and it certainly doesn't want you doing that - unless they've found a glitched way to do it.

Given the previous '90%' claim it's more likely they don't know the difference between MLC and Research Limpets - which certainly let you get up to 10 or 11.
 
Try 12 Limpets.
Wow! Thanks for the tip! But then.......why not 24? Two Universal MLC + two Xeno MLC!!!????
Have you ever seen "Module type limit exceeded" message?
I can give you better advice - you should reach Allied status with Thargoids, and they will give many samples for free. This way you can reach 300% efficiency. ;)
 
Well, they did have a non-relogging sampling CG planned, but someone got it cancelled ...

And since sampling is still broken it won't be happening any time soon 🤷‍♀️

It’s not broken, it’s just not 100%, and who says it should be? Sometimes limpets crash and that’s not 100% either. I think they should have gone along with it, research limpets still retrieve plenty of samples and the failure rate still affects everybody so it’s fair.

The dude on the forums said it had to be 100% Take it up with them, they got it cancelled 🤷‍♀️

I think really we're seeing about a 50% success rate, but FD have never said this was intended. So when we asked whether it should be 100% a CM fed the question back. Next thing, the expected CG turned out to be a Guardian relogging one instead. That's all we really know and it's pretty opaque. If the issue has now been closed that would imply that 50% is intended... except that we know FD unjustly close issues all the time so we're still not sure.
Unsatisfactory.
 
Just look at those FCs dump their loads!
