Wormholes

+1

Thank you fozzie for looking into this.

Fozzie, is there any chance that you're also looking into reducing the number of containers that need to be hacked? As compared to k-space exploration sites, the effort / reward ratio is way out of balance. Having to sit through hacking over a dozen cans gets very, very old, to the point where people just don't want to do the sites anymore.

Hello fair wormholers.

We've got a PSA for you all and I would appreciate it if you spread the word among your fellow frontierspeople.

With the new scatter mechanics introduced in Odyssey, if someone loots a scatter container and does not have enough space in their cargo hold to fit the result, their attempt to loot will be unsuccessful.

We have been noticing a lot of these unsuccessful loot attempts in wormhole space, and believe that it is mainly occurring with ancient relics contained in wormhole data and relic sites. The sleeper hull relics are especially tricky as their 100m3 size means you need a significant amount of free cargo room to pick them up.

We believe that this contributes to some of the reports from wormholers that they are seeing fewer hull sections dropping (although it isn't the only cause). We are continuing to investigate the other causes and will hopefully find a solution soon.

We are investigating ways to make this interaction between the scatter containers and your free cargo space more intuitive and easier to manage, but in the meantime we strongly advise those people looting wormhole relic and data sites (especially the talocan ships) to ensure that they have plenty of free cargo space.

TL:DR When you're looting scatter containers in wormhole space, have plenty of free cargo space available or you'll miss out on the high volume stuff.

IDK about it being space.

NEVER filled up cargo to within 100m3 yet.

Still don't see the hull drops.

What I do see is that UI lacks feedback. In time sensitive gathering operations this leads to spamming mouse clicks.
I assume spammed mouse clicks result in a lot of failed collection attempts.

Worse it looks like collection process actually does stall at times. Often you get bigger selected item symbol but the ship neither tractors the item in nor moves toward the item to scoop it up. I've never seen discussion on how to cause the tractoring vs approach and scooping. (I do have tractors on ship but I get the impression that tractoring of collected items is unrelated since there is no actaul target selection.) So really users need some feedback as to how to stimulate expedited collection of items once selected.

Perhaps you should put scatter items in the overview or at least be normal targeted items if properly selected for recovery so that users have 100% confidence in tractoring items aroudn instead of trying approach (which also seems to be purely a result of spamming clicks).
