Hey all,

(quick thanks to the gang of ppl who gave me help on getting into the prof!)

I am now having some trouble actually getting any DNA. Basically I am a Zabrak on tattooine based just outside of Bestine. When i first got nov bio-eng i immediately went up to a group of lowly worts and tried my new macro /peace;/sampledna.

Maybe it's just me but now when I approach them they seem to bolt and scamper off.. Out of the 8 times I tried to sample DNA, all eight failed. Not once could I get any DNA. And i could see how much my mind was drained. Thankfully i have a few crates of muon gold now and am ready to try again.

But am i doing something fundamentally wrong here? Should I have something else? Some other skills? Should I alter my stats in a certain way? I am unequipping armor to prevent being encumbered (which scares the hell out of me as I am not a very good fighter - i have carbine 3 and ranged 2 with a laser carbine and a wort at my feet prevents enough of a challenge).

If it's like this continuously, 1 successful DNA sample out of 10+ attempts, collecting 170,000 xp will take me.. a long long time... an annoyingly aggrivating long time...

Any help or link pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks guys & gals.
