Requirements and Limits

Use the tractor beam on the type of ship you want to get DNA from
You only get 4 DNA from an AI, regardless of if it evolves/devolves so kill it after that
Can’t find the ships you want? Make them!!

Instructions

Go into the Pajca arm, find a galaxy with a good asteroid belt.
Blow up asteroids till you see some eggs pop out
Wait till the eggs hatch (unless you need Sahvitra DNA)
Note that eggs typically hatch to t0 ships that don’t give DNA. Wait till they evolve. the exception is with capital ship types
These AI will despawn after about 5 minutes so don’t spawn too many at once so you cant extract from them all
This method doesn’t really work for getting Tier 2 DNA -- again, exception is the capital ship types.
Alternatively, go into the first level of one of the boss instances and all of the mini bosses spawn eggs which evolve and don't despawn.

Note that DNA has a 12 hour half-life, so freeze any that you don’t intend to use immediately!
