I found the Medusa not too bad.. because there's so many Threat 7 USS in the likes of 49 Arietes. The Basilisk is a nightmare though.. The only current way to get that is to spam attacked mega ships since USS 6 are bugged and don't produce Basilisks at the moment. They're also fairly rare.

Did a partial on first RamTah mission, loved it will replay when BETA sites are mapped, want to do this one, found cargo rack easy, went to do sampling [video=youtube_share;SHlG_2zTEz8]https://youtu.be/SHlG_2zTEz8[/video] and that happend, abeit my first actual encounter, I got killed 4 more times at ~5mil rebuy.
I am now surviving (23% counts
)
BUT
These limpets are driving me crazy, yes to all the above but even when I fancy RP'ing escape pod rescues the collectors are flying into the megaships!
I have managed to so far get cyclops and basilisks at Electra 6. But now I dont have time to scan for vessel type as I am bait with my cargo, I really am eager to move onto the next part especially the open the door at thargoidy thing.
So yeah the bug on limpets is breaking this, but maybe the lucky ones when done with mission would trade swap some cargo for their samples

How did you manage to collect the samples?
I have 19/20 limpets fail. Lost 4 ships. Now I FINALLY have s single sample. Basilisk luckily. But most of the time the samples just crash into my ship and are gone.
What am I missing, or is it just incredibly hard / dangerous to do?
Here's the interceptor fail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vItkUhEs9Sw

Most of the time the limpet does not bounce and error like this, just explodes.

19/20 sounds poor, have you tried running multiple limpet controllers and taking multiple samples? I tend to run 2, but on a larger ship you you could run more. Megaships are 'easier', < 1 hr relogging to get 2 sets of samples recently (on 2 occasions, since a pirate killed me for the first set). Choose one with plenty of cargo floating nearby so the Thargoid doesn't bug-out so fast and you get multiple set of limpets into it.
Wow. That on its own sounds far too complicated for my old brain. Think I'll just abandon the mission now.
Cliff only knows how people get on without the forums.

Grind bore.....as usual...id rather carry them taking damage than go through this nonsense for days, "Lore" purposes my ass...more like "Keep them busy as we have nothing else" purposes.....
I never new about these missions, so thanks for posting. It's funny because I've unlocked the guardian fighters and modules and I'll be heading out to do the weapons in the near future.
Let me see what google can tell me about these.
Are there any other engineer missions that are story related?
