hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous lots going on with the thyroid
lately and when you say the word thyroid certain images come into your mind bargoids turning up
at bases harvesting the barnacles worrying the meta alloys thyroids interdicting you
and giving you a good probing and depending on how that goes it could end in disaster
you sat around thinking well how can i give those thyroids a good probing instead turn
the tables on them they won't like it up um oh no sir they will not
well this is what this video is all about about collecting tissue samples from thyroids
these dreaded space days easy the elite dangerous galaxy have been sticking it to us pilots for too
long some pilots can be good and give it back to them in the combat ship you may not be very good
at combat like me especially with the thyroids so how do you get your own back on these thyroids
well you can collect tissues from them and for that you're gonna need
some specialized gear you're gonna need for one a corrosive resistant cargo rack
and then you're also gonna need a fastener ship once you've got those two things you wanna find
yourself a research limpet or if it's a big old ship you can use the multi-olympic controller
class 7 and the research limpet is part of that now collecting tissue samples from a
thyroid giving it a good old enema and a bit of a biopsy is not going to be that difficult not
going to be that easy really but once you do it a few times you can get a pretty good success rate
here i am in my scout aconda this is particularly built up as i've mentioned for destroying scouts
in ax combat zones you get a lot of money get a lot of good materials and some thyroid materials
after a while you've been shooting those scouts our old space daisies are going to turn up in
the shape of a thyroid interceptor and you know you could get a cyclops you could get
something a bit more fruity they're going to come in they're going to shut everybody down
right so don't be alarmed that's what's going to happen now there should be some more scouts
milling around the area they're also going to launch their swarm any npcs in the area are
going to start attacking the thyroid interceptor now you can turn around and carry on shooting
the scout threat or you can give it a bit of an enema which is what the purpose of this video is
all about now you can do this in a smaller ship you just ignore the scouts fly in nice and cool
release your limpet away you go as you can see i've got my research limpet all primed up ready
and we're approaching the thyroid of choice it's turned to the active color and i'm going to launch
my limpet now the swarms flying around you can see i've got some caustic damage my shields are
currently still up why i'm using shields i don't know and you can see my olympia is approaching
that thyroid interceptor now this is going to go in and it's going to give it a bit of a biopsy
right now the whole idea of this is to stay as close to that thyroid as you possibly can without
incurring any damage now this is my ax build and i've got a multi-olympic controller on there
and i'm using the research limpets now depending on how active the thyroid is and
how busy the system is this research limpet right is gonna dance around the thyroid for
quite a bit before attaching itself and once it does it'll say right yes i'm extracting
just as it's doing now now the idea of this is is typically not to get beyond
4000 meters so 4.5 kilometers right i would say stay within two or three try and stay out of the
way let all the mpc's take some of the brunt the damage while you're doing that it's a good idea
if you've got any caustic olympic controllers get some decontamination on the go and get rid of any
damage that'll stop you incurring damage while you're chasing this thyroid i've also got some
heat sinks as well one of them i've got engineered so i get four those are the standard three
they do give me a little bit of hassle however because they're a little bit heavier
depending on the ship and the build weight shouldn't be a problem you're gonna go bouncing
around the galaxy with this now extracting we're nearly done we've dropped our cargo scoop
once we've dropped the cargo scoop the limpet is gonna finish extracting and it's gonna detach and
all you have to do is typically stay out the way and wait for that limpet to come back to your ship
once you've done that if you've got the cargo space and the limpets
and the hull let's not forget that you're gonna be free to go and do another one
okay that limp it's gonna come into the ship bang there you go and now it's time if you if you've
got the kahunas let's say that to go and get yourself another one now as you see i fired that
one off no dramas there it's going in it's going to attach and it's going to start distracting
rinse and repeat now for some reason even though that limpet had the biosample
with it it didn't show up out of the four or five attempts i did i only managed to get
two so that's exactly how you do it just be very careful that you do actually pick up your sample
now not to be put off by the fact that it didn't quite work the first time here i am again
got my research limpet all ready to go i've got it nice and close and i've got my thyroid in my sight
i'm running at 37 heat and i've sent off the limpet now the limp it's dancing around
trying to get onto the thyroid not a problem there we're going to keep nice and close and kind of try
and stay out of his way go it's trying to connect and you're going to get this it's going to be
quite frustrating because obviously the thyroids being engaged by other mpc or other life players
in the area this is ax combat right typically a good way of doing this is you and your crew fly in
there one keeps the thyroid busy you run nice and cold nice and silent buy in get your biopsies done
job done and the thyroid doesn't touch you at all whatsoever anyway there goes our limpet
still trying to connect
you can see how laborious it could not particularly difficult it's just like anything in
this game frustrating finally we've got extraction going on now we've still got our cargo scooper and
so that's limiting our speed somewhat we're still trying to stay in between four and a half thousand
kilometers trying to close that gap if you can't go too far out of the range of the limpet
olympic will just disengage and that will be the end of it now
all of this once you actually start extracting takes about 60 seconds
here we are still keeping nice and nice and close an npc is still engaging the thyroid
we're using our heatsinks there you go we're coming up to three quarters of the way now
still keeping nice and close taking a bit of damage that's to be expected
and you could picture your ship with flak cannons and destroy the swarm
there you go
extraction complete blimp it is detached it's on our way back that would give us a bit of a blast
because it could see us due to our heat but a caustic missile coming in as well so here it comes
it's really close
and it's in great now when i went and checked my manifest i actually found that the tissue
sample was there i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching this on how to give a thyroid
an enema it's not all about them giving us a probing it's about us giving them a probe into
and with these missions going on knowing how to get a tissue sample
is a good skill to have thanks very much for watching and i'll see you soon
you
