RawnuI really wish there was some engineering option for the generic sampler of the Artemis suit...


Have to agree. It's ridiculous. We can do FTL but cant sample several life forms at the same time.
And that SRV.. LOL. It has worst turning radius than a 16 wheeler, transmission/acceleration cant adjust to G.

Whoever designed the suspension (or the lack of) for the SRV, certainly resides on the plane of existence where they invent ways for us simple schmucks to suffer.

I rarely use SRVs for exobio these days. With my iCourier or my Dolphin I can mostly land on top of anything. If I use one, I always take the Scorpion, much more fun than the Scarab.

RawnuI really wish there was some engineering option for the genetic sampler of the Artemis suit. Talking about the Artemis, did you engineer that suit? I did (g5) with night vision, increased jump and battery, as well as the increased sprint duration.


I only use the Artemis for scanning plants and consider nearly all engineering mods for it aside from night vision to be useless. Even then, 90% of the time I am looking for plants on the day side of the planet because I find it easier to spot things at a distance from the ship when there is light. I don't care about battery, air supply, tracking range, etc if the only time spent outside the ship or srv is just enough time to hop out, do a scan, and jump back in the vehicle.

Increased sprint duration and jump is pretty neat, makes it faster to run (up) to stuff. And as I said, I rarely use the SRV, so it's me jumping out the ship and scanning things.

Stuffing Thargoids with probes may be fun, but it isn't as personal as it might be. What about poking them with a bio-scanner?

I use ASP Explorer. Avatar cant run much and walks too slowly. So, some of the stuff is easier to access with SRV, hop out, scan, back in and off you go. Also, SRV shows where the materials are.

With increased sprint duration, your body is moving a lot faster. And it takes longer to get the SRV out, drive to stuff, get out of the SRV, scan, get back in, drive back to ship, board ship – then just getting out the ship yourself. This requires a small landing footprint though, with a medium ship you will have a hard time (especially with the ASP, although it's a tad better in this regard than the Phantom). Dolphin is probably king/queen for this kind of gameplay.
