Data Mining Achievement

[Zloth]

I've used EMPs to get blueprints several times and I've scanned natural data leaks even more, but I still haven't gotten the achievement. When I read other topics, people said you need to anger the station to get the achievement to show up. While I've gotten some harsh words, I've never had the station go hostile on me.

What do I need to do? Go into the hanger, find the station manager's window, and blow the EMP right in his/her/its face?

EMP it more than once... for it to become angry at you.

Though, i am uncertain that this is a requirement for this Achievement...

Have you done all the required Research?
Have you scanned all the EMP Leaks or just the ones you need for the Blueprint to drop?

I honestly forgot how i unlocked this one all that time ago...

[Zloth]

Yep, I have all the research for blueprints.

When I shoot off the EMP I get 4 leaks. Scanning the first gives the blueprint. Scanning the 2nd and 3rd gives nothing. Scanning the 4th gives permanent trade knowledge or some other goody. I've done it roughly half a dozen times. The achievement never pops out.

Do you use mods?

[Zloth]

Nope, not a one.

Has anyone gotten the achievement in the past, oh, couple of weeks?

Looks like I'm not the only one: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=435715

The blueprint has to be the last scan you make. Every time I've tried, the blueprint has shown up on the first scan.

FINALLY got it. I must have used the EMP method to pull blueprints at least a dozen times, maybe even two dozen. FInally, when EMP'ing a Terran admin center, the first three data leaks gave me nothing, the final one game me the blueprint, and the achievement came through.

The station manager warned me about my actions but wasn't attacking, same as I've had happen with many other EMP attempts. This was a Terran trade station with a faction rep on board, but I snagged the Terran hex-dock from Segaris' trade station with a faction rep on board and didn't get the achievement. As near as I can tell, it's straight up dumb luck that the data leak sequence was different this time.

So I had the same issue.

I had gone to each station one at a time to get one blueprint.
Had all of the "Commonwealth" blueprints before realizing I didn't have the achievement.
So I went to Terra... and got it "Second Try"

You want to Keep emping the same station.
Emp it, scan all nodes.
Then Emp it again, they start to get angry.
Scan the nodes and it will not blueprint on the first node.

Seems a bit like a bug.
But at least there is a workaround.
