Topic: Picking taking data consoles from a can - exploit or not ?

Greetings.
We just had this in General Chat: is it allowed to pick data consoles from a field container in order to complete a mission ?
This might be an exploit as someone could farm then and then finish the missions faster, for example by going to the destination with an arkhe.
On the other hand a robot was killed for every data console in the past, which makes this tactics look legit.

We need an official statement on this please, and if that's considered as exploit, will it be fixed ?

Sounds fine to me.

This might actually give consoles some value other than for the mission goer.  Also gives people with tons of money an opportunity to level up standings fairly fast (although just doign transport is nearly as fast)
