Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
I fire the EMP and detonate it. I get four bits of "trash" appear on the side of the module. The glowing things denoting data leaks appear, but they are grey and not orange/red, and I don't appear to be able to hack them. any ideas?

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
Well, thats an efficient guide if you have less time and a lot emp's. And don't mind more aggressive methods.
I stick with the general statuion scanning, because once you have the research stations usually have a few dataleaks, but it requires more luck getting them on the module you want and then also rolling the blueprint on this leak. (or you safe scum if thats what one may like).

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
How do you fail repair data leak missions? I have had to abandon a few because they were inside the station but that was it..
Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
To fail a data leak repair mission you just need scan the leak in your spacesuit, or ship. What the mission wants you to do is get to the leak, get out of your ship, DO NOT get into scan mode, and repair the leak/broken bits with your repair laser.
If you decide instead to scan the data leak, the mission will fail. Nothing happens, you just lose out on the ability to complete the mission and get paid. But you can still pick up more data leak missions as you find them. It's a hit or miss way to get blueprints... if you get a mission to a station you don't have the blueprints for, and the leaks are on the modules you want.... you can scan the leaks while in your spacesuit instead of repairing them, and get the blueprint.

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
Interesting... I thought scan mode just showed where they were, since I never saw an option to actually scan the leak.
Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
The way in which I see the Modes work.
Scan mode is for looking for information/Leaks in general.
Mission to repair, advises you which leaks to fix and gives you the location as per the Mission with needing to enter scan mode, as long as mission is set to Active, you'll see them.
Outside of this, as grapedog said;

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
You don't have to actively scan. You also don't have to be in scan mode. Just fly close enough that the message "Scanning" appears. With a ship that's about 10 meters, in a spacesuit you need to get closer. You CAN scan data leaks behind the wall. Just aim your ship at the red light and fly closer.
Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
There is a way to avoid the station to turn hostile.
After deploying the EMP bomb return to your spaceship and detonate the EMP bomb from your ship, the station will stay calm.

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
I noticed that often when the leak appears inside the structure you can also go inside using space suit.
Had this on drone component and advanced electronics modules - i could just following the sound any some surfaces i could just go through in the spacesuit.
Advanced electronics looks pretty good from the inside..

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
Does this work for shipyard modules (ship fabrication L, XL etc)?
I tried it and all i get are trade offers and partners.
Also since i havent built a shipyard yet, do shipyards reverse engineer ships?

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
No and no.
You need to buy blueprints for both the modules and the ships.
Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
Modules yes. I managed to get the blueprints of the M class ship. Finding an abandoned ship (neutral faction), going out in a spacesuit and detonating an EMP bomb. Received 4 leaks. After scanning 1 received the ship's blueprints.BrasatoAlBarolo wrote: ↑Fri, 1. Mar 19, 08:59No and no.

I'm going to wait another week or so, to see how everything pans out, and then update the guide again. It's been a while since I created it, though not much changed until 2.0 came out. I appreciate little bits of info like this!

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
I was thinking about trying the same when I'm far enough in the game to build a wharf. Nice to hear that it works. What about going on board a friendly ship and then doing the same?blin25 wrote: ↑Sat, 2. Mar 19, 18:30Modules yes. I managed to get the blueprints of the M class ship.

Re: Guide on Stealing Blueprints - With Pictures
With friendly ships it does not work. I could not get the ship's blueprint, only the data was decoded from 4 data leaks. No blueprint.RainerPrem wrote: ↑Sun, 3. Mar 19, 17:15

I'm going to try asap, thanks for the tip!
