To the point: While Mining a Resource Extraction Site in some metallic rings, for no apparent reason my Collector Limpets started self-destructing. This was my third trip to this ring and they had worked flawlessly before. Once launched, they would simply fail, often before collecting even a single sample. I made sure I had not selected a floating ore sample before launching (the "one-shot" scenario). After six failures I decided to stop using Collectors and scooped the remaining ore, at least those that did not expire on me. Later, mining another part of the ring, the Collectors once again performed perfectly.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does his happen under certain conditions I need to be aware of? The cost was negligible but the lost time and lost ore was annoying.
