Just got my 8th or 9th Genosynth this morning but something different happened.
When I pressed the Genoscan ability, it reset the timer to about 2 minutes or thereabout, I wasn't really paying attention. I then went to scan planets to get the debuff. I have done this before and it has always taken from 5-20 planets to get the debuff. I have scanned 100 planets. No debuff. When I try to us the Genoscan ability again, it tells me that it is already active on my ship.
What the snafu is going on?
as far as I can tell, Dan reduced the timer to 1 min or so, so more ships can use it and get the geoscan data needed to hit the ship - so the NPC no longer need to be soloed by 1 player
but even if the timer is only 1 min, the effect on your ship last longer then that, not sure if it 10 min, 20 min or 30 min, but should be plenty of time to scan a few planets and get the effect
as for the number of planets, it usealy takes me 10 to 30 planets to get it
but have had sme extreame cases in GP where it to as few as 2 planets or even 100+ planets to get it
my bedst guess atm is that it's 5% chance pr planet you scan, so 80% of the times it will proberly take 10 to 30 planets, but you can be lucky/unlucke and fall outside that range.
