First round is a learning lesson, OP.

I haven't even bothered to undock yet but based on what you are saying my radar exploration only slightly changes. I used to scan them with a CovOps, go get a drake and hack the cans, kill the PvE. Sounds like maybe I will need to use a Proph or a Myrm because they have more drone bay to keep repair down. I will need to try and see if the 5 lights on the Drake will be enough.

Update.
The new skill bonus to Hacking is +10 to virus coherence and that will play a factor in when you are doing the mini game. It isn't like before where you spam with code breakers like you are salvaging. It could become a decent mini game but as many are complaining on, the way you loot now is a bit of a scam. I never right clicked to see if I could add to overview so you can grab what you know will have something worth taking and let the foolish stuff drift in to space.

i am talking about has anyone found out what happens if your cargo is full and you try to scoop another container ? i am talking about Power Couplings and those armor thingies.

these things can easily take up all the space in my frigate and i may miss something cool and actually worth looking for


You don't get anymore loot, everything will work the same.



this needs fixing, the size of these items can easily be reduced without destroying anything of value ingame


No it doesn't. The items that take up the most hold are of almost no value. Jet can them, they're ****. I ran these sites for about 3-4 hours last night and pulled 1b out of it in total. I still had PLENTY of space left in my hold.

There is no real strategy to the game, you just click on nodes and hope you get lucky and uncover the core..


And the strategy before was ?
Oh yes.. scan, warp, lock, activate module, watch module cycle...... loot.

The hacking minigame is laughing its ass off at your lack of 1337 skills....

It WANTS you to get angry.
I've done some really stupid shit in this game.

I watched a video so I should immediately succeed at something, right?

Right?

I have been just running around with hacking 4 doing exploration for the last few months...


suffice to say Hacking 5 is now at the top of my skillplan. They added a reason to train hacking to 5 and use a t2 module...I really don't see that as a problem.


Wow... what does hacking V and T2's bring more? I've got hacking at III and am using T1's atm, and still am doing good, although estimated values have gone down when soloing... Getting more than half the cans by the way...

The game is simple: do the nodes at the edges, collect the tools. When you bump into a FW, just leave it until you have no other ways to go. then make an educated guess and pick the 'blockage' most likely to be the winner:) Oh, and don't forget to use the tools you find! they make a lot of difference...

Anyway, I thought the only reason for taking hacking and archaeology to V would be to go below low-sec... Will be doing that, as the occupation 'explorer' is not paying my bills at the moment by doing it in low sec (0.1-0.2), so I have to move on...

I'm using the, what people call, crap btw myself, on an alt that does invention/research/production...

Can't add to overview... how do you loot if you don't right-click and pick 'take'?
