Well, your Mammet filled out that log... Unfortunately for you, I think it's learned sarcasm.


As far as I know, the two drops are calculated independently of each other. My understanding is that the chance of getting a second drop is based only on your Surveillance score, and your chance of getting higher yields is based only on your Retrieval score, and all three checks (1 survey, 2 retrieval) are all independent dice rolls.

But, however it works, I'm fairly certain the cacluation is set up such that you can never get "poor" or "below average" yields from early sectors, and the later the sector, the more Retrieval you need to have the same effect.
