Like everyone here I can exaggerate.
I find it one of the more challenging genera to find, that said "It's not impossible!" as I said, with an SRV, sitting in the turret using the composition scanner. I don't think it needs changing so that it becomes more 'gamey - point me to my gratification like!'
Everyone to their own - that's my opinion. I could go further and say you're all just lazy... but that would be personal. So I won't say it. Instead, I'd say the methods you are suggesting will make us and lazy - and not worth doing exobiology!
Meh!
