Red Assassin Bugs

[Devin]

Once again I'm not sure whether to put this here, in WA or in LN, so please bear with me and move if necessary.

My Legacy founder got a tweak because I failed with him the first time around. Many of my legacies die in generation one due to either glitches or stupid decisions on my part. I usually just start over again, as I'm doing this time around. Anyway, his LTW is Seasoned Traveler and I'm trying to knock it out fast rather than to simply make him rich early on (though that is a side effect of this LTW in the first generation).

Anyway, he got an opportunity during which he has to collect three red assassin bugs. This seems like a high number (because it is) but it is made worse by the fact that he has now failed five out of six attempts to catch. I assume that this is by design. That is to say that the rarer the bug, the harder it is for the collector to catch.

However, I've caught them (and scarabs!) before without a problem. Or at least not so much of a problem. I recently installed LN. Is there a connection that anyone else has discovered? Should I jump ship and go for another op?

I don't know if it's connected to Late Night.  It's true that Red Assassin bugs can be more difficult to catch.  I'd keep after it just to see how long it takes him to get all of them.

Only one site has spawned more of them and I can't see them, regardless of the angle I zoom in on. I know that they are rare, but this is ridiculous. Previously there were no less than seven sites with Red Assassin Bugs (which is almost unheard of in my game). Ugh. I don't think he's going to finish this mission on this trip, but that's alright. He's made over $4000 this time.
