Scanning Data Leaks for Blueprints

[Bullett]

I've now scanned over 60 data leaks without a single blueprint. I have tech for production modules... what am I doing wrong? All i need is the swamp plant blueprint. Any other way to get it? (There is no swamp plant or spaceweed in the entire known universe).

Use an EMP bomb and scan the leaks created by it to always get blueprints. You will get the blueprint of the module you scanned the leak on.

Keep in mind that some module's blueprints cannot be obtained that way, such as ship fabrication modules.

You have to conduct the blueprint research through the HQ first.

Leaks created by an emp bomb, do they need to scanned in the suit to generate a blueprint or can they be scanned from the ship also?

Side note, when the EMP bomb goes off, there are four data leaks. The first gives you a blueprint if applicable. The next two give nothing. The last one gives you a permanent trade subscription to that station. See this video at the 1:30 mark.

Since you launch an EMP bomb from your spacesuit, easy to just scan that way. It probably works in your ship but it would probably take longer.

Thanks for the info.
It’s bit strange game mechanic that there is not a randomness to the order of which you get something form the leaks 1-4.
The trade subscription to the station, does that also grant access to the stations rader range?

I can just add to the above, my scanning of emp leaks.
The first two gave small trade bonuses, the third gave the blueprint and the last gave the permanent trade subscription.
This is version 5.1

no, you won't get access to the Station Radar, all you get is permanent access to the Trade System of that Station.

Similar like the Factions Trade Subscription a Station with an EMP activated permanent Subscription will send up 2 Date Trade Data without you or any of your assets going near it again.

In addition to the Discounts, Blueprint and Subscription you can also reveal the location of a random Station you haven't discovered yet.

There is no swamp plant in the know universe... Can I get the blueprint when the production module does not exist... (at least so far it has not been revealed).

Found this post, this person said that they cannot be scanned with a ship.

Thanks for the replies... I finally broke down and purchased the Swamp Plant blueprint from the Teladi Station Rep. Needed to get the factory cranking... time is money. I've already recovered the 4M cost.

I'm still not sure why NONE of my scans have resulted in blueprints. I have the technology and you'd think some of them would produce results.
