Better late then never, but I wanted more time before I dropped my 2 cents on my experience so far with the new relic and data cans.

C3s, the minigames are pretty easy to crack, even without max skills. You still run into those impossible levels but if you play smart you can open the can in 1 go. Combined with cargo scanning you can nab the best cans and be on your way. Pretty balanced.

C4s are insane. 90% of the mini-games are impossible to complete with max skills due to the sheer number of nodes that you run into (especially the ones that heal/reduce your damage.) It takes 6-7 attempts at max skills playing smart to finally get lucky. The loot is the same loot as in C3s and even with cargo scanners it took me 30 minutes to open 2 cans for a grand total of 20mil. (that was with 2 alts grabbing every single can).

Now I LOVE the new minigame and I think it was a great addiction to the game, but the difficult in C4s needs to be dialed back a bit because unless the loot significantly goes up in price, they take too long to complete and there are too many "impossible" maps.]

That or I am missing out on some master strategy that makes these easier :P

No the C4's suck. Max skilled pilot, same basic experience.

EVE as a whole is one big addiction, it definitely should be illegal.
