Balance for digital complex anomoly

Currently in 0.0 there are a number of individuals using the game mechanics to get the highest reward with little or no effort so i propose a slight balance to the anomoly.

The second area the "Learning zone" contains 6 cans that require hacking to open but can potentially drop a Nanite skillbook currently worth 250 mil approx.

The problem
These individuals are using things like Tengu's to cloak through the first gate with no actual contact or attacking the enemy. Once in the second area they burn to the cans and tank the damage long enough while hacking. This allows them to take the books and leave without killing a single thing. This Leaves the complex fully intact but without one of its main rewards.

possible balance

I propose moving the skill books to be a potential drop from the last area which is much harder to succesfully run and make the gates secure gates so the enemy has to be defeated in each area before progressing like many other anomolies.

I believe this would restore the integrity of the anomoly instead of leaving half completed anomolies in space, while still maintaing a reason to run the anomoly for the potential benefits.

Any thoughts?

The site should just despawn if someone warps out / cloaks up in it after touching one of the cans. It shouldn't require having to kill NPCs to access the cans/gates, that's what sets them apart. Increase the incoming DPS they have to tank if you want to, sure.

It should work like any other radar/mag.

Despawn upon attempting to hack and leaving for an extended period.
