Xeno samples required by scientists of Colonia

Hi,

First sry if the title is not the same as in Galnet.
I just wanted to avoid people from raging about a broken feature and make them save some time: research limpets on moving target.
Because when interceptors detect the samples, they turn to grab them and the interceptor hitbox just collide with the sample's one and it get destroyed.
Result: you can have a build like 5 research limpets controller or just one and having to pray to RNJesus to hope getting at least one sample.
I don't understand why (fdev? cm? anyone working at frontier) encourage players to waste their time on a broken feature reported several times :unsure: .
And if i'm wrong, i'll be happy to see someone NOT failing 90% of the time when trying to get thargoid samples.
Until then and even if i don't beleive it, let's hope Odyssey will bring a fix...

I think xeno just means alien biological. But yes the CG is only specifically about pods which are in the stellar phenomena, as far as I know. The community managers are doing a stream about it right now.

But you are correct, OP, that RL fail mostly on Thargoids. use a lot. But .. not for the CG :)

Huh... actually... maybe the cause of the issues with tissue sampling Thargoids is something a little more subtle?

I don't think the tissue sample destroys instantly, you'd hear & see it. When the tissue sample spawns on the research limpet, depending on it's location maybe the sample is colliding with the area of the Thargoid which "scoops" cargo it would normally tractor in, making it despawn instantly?

I have no idea of the timelines, but when Research Limpets were first released, tissue sampling worked just fine. Then it broke.
Meanwhile, Thargoid Interceptors wouldn't scoop tissue samples at first. Then that behaviour changed and tissue samples would get scooped.

Maybe this bug got introduced when they started scooping tissue samples?

It could make sense indeed. But if true, interceptors can scoop tissue when they are in their back :LOL: .
@Factabulous , in-game we use "Xeno-Scanner" to scan interceptors so yes, i thought xeno was only for thargoid ;) .
