See...that's what immediately disheartens me. I'm just in this for the paint job but I refuse to do the inverted limpet spam relog thing...but I feel that if I don't, there's no way I am making the top 75%. :cautious:

I replicated @GraphiteGB's approach and positioning as shown here, and so far I've gathered 150 items out of 168 limpets fired. That's 89.3% return rate which I think is pretty damn good. This is on EDH.

EDIT: forgot to mention I fire 8 limpets per run so that's 21 relogs.

Damn, that's impressive. I did the same and my return rate was only 35%. This is on EDO.

I did the Thargoid artifacts CG in EDO because the suggested farming location wasn't landable on EDH, and I noticed that with every relog my ship's position would change a little. All pitch, roll and yaw angles would be a little off so I had to keep readjusting, whereas in EDH my ship stays almost exactly where I left it except for a couple meters in altitude. The slightest change in positioning may throw your limpets off. You might wanna check that out.

I'm up to 95.3% return rate atm. 😃

Woooowww, If you don't mind can you take a screenshot of your hud when you are collecting the artefacts? I need to see the latitude, longitude, distance from surface & site, pitch degree, yadda yadda, etc.

Maybe I got something wrong.

Sure! I had to resize cause it said file too big. Hope the info is clear enough. o7

95.3% is very impressive! In Odyssey, I got around 35% return on my limpets. Horizons seems to be where it's at, yes.
 
Hopefully FDev will adress one day this relog ****, or totaly rethink how CG rewarding works. Is obvious that using normal gameplay is at least 10 (100?) times slower, meh it’s incomparable.
 
Noob questions:
1, Which ship can survive a hyperdiction with guardian stuff onboard, and without a neutraliser? Only the Cutter, or there are other ships capable to escape with speed+shield+masslock+luck combo? Does it worth to try with f.e. a Clipper or an Orca build?
2, Again, whats the difference between the Low and Med AXCZs? Low spawns only scouts?
 
Yeah, but traveling to those and collecting via SRV is waaaay slower than limpet farming with relogging. Not saying it's more fun, but it's the more efficient way. No contest at all.
So you're just grinding for some percentage level regardless of whether you actually enjoy what you're doing?

Lots. When hyperdicted turn Flight Assist off and boost. When the field disables your ship you should remain far enough for the Thargoid not to attack. Practice it for a bit with no cargo so you don't get killed if you mess it up.
 
Can you get over 100% return rate with limpets if you fire less so at least one limpet gets multiple cargo items?
Not in my experience you always get some that crash, ive experimented with lots (12+) and just 2 with no difference in success rates.
I settled on a T9 with 8 (1x7A 2x3A) which is about right.
Also have a Cutter with 4x5As but i prefer the view in the T9

yep only if you fire less limpets and park at another location completely then allow limpet to do way more than 1 to planet run before relog only...

you need to kill limpets so that the other items that are collectable get assigned a limpet on them instead of all the limpet being assigned to that uncollectable every time...

A limpet can collect multi items it does not need to only collect 1 item it can go back to planet multi times... but it will take more time not quicker...
If you were to fire 4 but those 4 was to collect 6 as it would return to the planet three times thats a gain of 2 verse the original 4..

Theres no requirement to relog after the first batch come back from planet the first time
The 4 limpet version collection can collect more than 4
In the first run 1 dies so only 3 come back with ittems..
those 3 then return to planet and then 1 again dies on the same target and those collect 2.
then those 2 collect 1... Then you relog...
This takes way longer... Its faster to fire more limpets in the first batch... for smaller ships this would work but T9s and cutters are not small cargo ships..
Going shield less in solo adds a lot more tons if your brave enough...
