Ok i have been having a few issues when it comes to setting up the new Small Mobile Siphon unit. No matter what I do I can not seem to get anything out of it. I have set up several of these units on different moons, both friendly and hostile. I have even gone so far as to sit in the system cloaked up and waited a period of time for the "cycles" to go through. Every time I checked I say nothing in the cargo hold. Am i doing something wrong or am i missing something. Iv looked everywhere, but since it is so new there is next to no information regarding this issue. All I can find is the basic information you could easy find on the module itself.

Deploy within 50 km of control tower with active moon harvesters. Wait at most an hour. Collect materials.

Are yours the only ones? It only takes 2 to temporarily starve a reactor, and the 3rd will stop once that happens.

Iv done everything right, farther than 30km but less then 50km. Iv had this happen twice on two separate moons. I know no one has taken my goo because I have sat there and waited for it finish an hour cycle. I go up to i and nothing is in the cargo hold.

This is definitely fulfilling the concept of completely Passive ISK. Most indeed.

Are you sure they moon harvesters were actually extracting material? Could be they are full, cycle ended, etc.
