That's what I suspected it first, that the scoop had to be deployed
somehow, but the trainer makes no mention of it. The most annoying
thing is that after you get pissed off with it and break out of the
training, you have to go through the whole thing again to get back to
the cargo pods, and still they blow up, the bastards! The pods blow up
sometimes when i'm still a long way from them, so I don't think it is
a gameplay issue, I think it's a bug.
