FYI: Research Limpets broken again

Lots of bugs coming up:

Megaship looting still broken like in the beta - so no more than thargoid probes from them
Thargoid bases no longer need unlocking, just walk in
Tissue samples flagged as illegal (may be just a UI issue)

The sampling success rate on Cyclops seems much lower than 50%, I struggled to get any tonight. ofc the servers are unhappy so maybe that is the issue (they seemed ok yesterday when I failed to get any, but in that case I was preferring the rarer 'goids as I assumed Cyclops would be plentiful - oh how wrong I was :) )

@Factabulous I care! Seriously I'm giving this my first go and watched your old Youtube video attached to the Cannon Resaerch entry on tissue sampling. I'm finding all the NHSS (5,6) I jump into are only populated by agressive scouts and that at the PTK-179, Electra 6 non interceptors spawned on about 4 or 5 jumps in. Are you finding this is all working correctly?

Sounds about right, contents of nhss and spawns at megaships updated when scouts were added. The distress call at Delphi 6 is better for interceptors now, scouts are very rare/missing there. I guess I need to update that guide (y)

Sorry, phone typo on my part. No interceptors spawned. No Thargoids of any type. I will give my sampling another go tonight, I'm slightly worried it will be fruitless.

Relogging at megaships will tend to give Search & Rescue right now - you're looking at upwards to 40 - more likely 80 - relogs to get a full set of samples. Or probably a similar number of NHSS visits - the issue here being the SC time. Or the distress call at Delphi, which doesn't spawn S&R, so is more efficient. Though still more than 5 relogs :)

Ho hum. I'll take that advice and shift location to Delphi. Thanks. Really appreciated.I've got lots to learn though. My one interaction at the Maia science vessel lead to my explosion. I didn't dodge the scan in the way your video demonstrates. I thought I could chill my way out of it, the interceptor didn't loose interest and I didn't wake out in time.

Yeah - I still die occasionally - which in one reason I prefer things like that Distress Call - it's bad enough dying, but if I just SCed 10k ls to get there it's even more annoying :)

Any Thargoid-related material is now being flagged as illegal but it seems to be a visual bug.
Also, I was carrying really illegal stuff, cops would scan me and no fines were issued.
Research limpets are 100% fail (see post above)... including a LOT of small and annoying additional bugs.

Well I picked up two samples at Delphi 6, different bugs there but it might solve your immediate problem. I can also confirm the illicit cargo, I've not had any issues but the Dolphin is <18% heat so not been scanned either.

Hi, i'm collecting tissues in pleiades since some days and i noticed that the distress call in delphi is VERY BUGGY. i launch 5 research limpets and no result. Then i launch them again and i get 1 or 2 sample.
Now when i go to NHSS 5 6 or 7, i get 5 samples 99% of times and 0 sample the rest of the time.
(i use a DBX, no shield, 32t cargo resistant and 5 research limpet collectors)

Ok i don't know what happened in the week but i'm in distress call in delphi 6. At the start of the week i could get 1-2 tissue by firing 5 limpets.
Now i fire 6 limpets and no result. Fire them again and still no result!
I launched 12 research limpets and they ALL failed!
There is definitly something broken in research limpet.

NB: at week start i collecting cyclop+basilisk+medusa tissues and yesterday+today hydras tissues (after firing around 100 limpets, i got only...3 samples)
