Bug or unintended viewing: new Titan pods are visible but cannot be retrieved?

[ThinkingPortals]

Using the goid PWS on the titan, there are subsurface spots with the name "titan sub-surface storage"

However, shooting them with the Subsurface Displacement Missile doesn't lock on. The projectile either bounces off or goes straight through.

The INARA salvage page also shows a new commodity: Xenobiological Prison Pod. The pod doesn't show up on the Fleet Carrier list of salvage commodities.

Are we meant to be able to harvest them yet, or was the last CG just to add a 10-second moment of "neato" and we'll have to tech-broker-buy a new "titan displacement missile"?

The market data from the API gave it away as soon as the update dropped.
Not everything shows up in the carrier's buy/sell list - for example none of the rare goods are shown, because while they can be stored on a carrier they can't be bought/sold through the market. Notably unclassified relics still can't be traded.

You're not new to the game, you know the answer.

One new module at a time.

This right here. I expect some kind of CG for it either this or next week(or it’s just going to be ‘there’, but we all know how it’ll go down - this week is mostly motivated by the suspicion of the rescue megaships all having moved, to distances where even a low range ship doesn’t have long to go).

Or maybe they’ll time it for U17, but I suspect we’ll be able to start retrieving them shortly before.

If there is a CG on Thursday, might become interesting with two high-difficulty invasions basically all but guaranteed to go active…

To make the new content really accessible they should leave the CGs running and require everyone to complete the backlog before they get to the new shiny. It's only fair!

Works as a way to gauge interest, let players test the new module before having access to the whole loop, and lets people hoping late on the titan bandwagon to see how the whole thing will work.
Might feel silly from execution standpoint (deliver stuff half done), but it's good design overall.
My guess is that the recovery thingamajigg will launch with U17 without a CG. If there is one, I hope it's a "help the rescue ships defense against goid incursion" in a fashion where people have to defend two, but after defending one, the other falls, in true "you can't save everyone" fashion.
