How to catch Scythe drones

[Warpig_NL]

o7 commanders,
I have a question regarding the Scythe drones (thinpets). Has anyone managed to grab these drones for further study? I tried everything today (using various types of limpets, shooting at them, scanning, scooping, etc.). Nothing works, they are also way too fast for our limpets. Ideas or methods to grab one are welcome. In addition, there is a xenobiological prison pod. Is this the same as a Scythe drone or something completely different?

Thanks for any suggestions of remarks.

Hmm. What about carrying an escape pod so the Scythe hatch breaks you, then once its stolen the pod and loaded it on board, then ECM the other thinpets before they are re absorbed? Would the Scythe then jump out and leave the dead thinpets behind?

Its only an idea, I haven't seen a Scythe yet.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried this but this requires a very fast spaceship with limpets with maximum distance (5-7b). Will definitely try your suggestion again. The drones are indeed at their most vulnerable when they have stolen (damaged ) escape pods from your ship. Operation is almost similar to hatch breakers between two human ships. i have various combinations of (scanner/limpet) options tried in the meantime, nothing works so far.

If you want to meet the Scythe yourself and run your own tests come to HIP 19600. If you have escape pods aboard your ship you will be interdicted by a Scythe at least once a minute without interference from other Thargoid ships. A normal AX ship is sufficient, it is a "weak" hunter class. By the way, after destroying the Scythe, you get your escape pods back and can start the next test again.
