Player Features and Ideas Discussion

After successfully hacking a can in Data/Relic sites (likely the highest ranked one for the site) have a low percent chance for the site to escalate (in a similar way combat sites and anomalies do now).

The escalation should be to an adjacent region (or at least a non-adjacent constellation within the region). These sites would have a high percent chance to escalate again, setting-up a chain leading the pilot to explore large areas of space. The escalation could take pilots to systems of various sec status (both pirates and carebears beware) and across empire/pirate factions (mission runners and faction warfare pilots watch-out too).

The pilot will need to travel to the system indicated in the journal entry where they will scan down and warp to a site containing cans to hack (with scanning/hacking difficulties based on the system they are in).

To entice pilots to explore these chains, especially when they lead into undesirable areas, the escalation site cans will have a low percent chance to contain/drop faction items (tags, ammo, mods, BPCs, etc.) based on the system they are in.
