Got a question someone may know the answer to. Hacking level 5. Frigate and Covert Ops 5. Using a T2 hacking enhancement rig. STILL getting "This Data Site is too advanced to collect anything worth while". Is this a bug or is there something that I am not being told? Does this require implants of some kind?

This is usually the message you get when you cannot solve the hacking minigame. But i got another solution: Dont do Data Sites. Ive got a covops with multiple Data Analyzers on it, whose sole purpose is to wipe those terrible sites from the face of the earth as fast as possible without even looking at the "loot" :P

Data sites are generally not very profitable.

Decryptors are bjorked at the moment with the changes to industry. I run sites in nullsec, and rarely do I find 5m per site worth of decryptors.

Datacores are not very valuable. You rarely earn more than 2m per site in datacores.

Tuner parts are practically worthless, especially considering their volume. You might find 1-2m worth of parts, but it will overfill your cargo bay preventing you from running very many sites on a single expedition.

Tuner BPC's are worthless. I have 100's of them that just clutter a container because they aren't worth the time to build.

Micro Jump Drives, Reactive Armor Hardeners, Target Spectrum Breakers, Ancillary Armor Reppers, Ancillary Shield Boosters, etc.... I have sooo many of these BPCs. Some of them are profitable to produce, but many aren't.

Faction POS Modules and Faction POS's. These are the "gold mines" of Data Sites. Finding them is very inconsistent. I had one month were I found 3 faction towers and 6 faction pos modules, and other months with nothing.

I dont see how i waste others time, or mine for that matter. After all, the signature will respawn, most likely as something better like a relic or DED. The faster Datas are destroyed, the better for the regions residents and your own wallet.
