EVE New Citizens Q&A

Yes there is one.

You can see what the data/relic Container obatins and so you can "cherry pick" the scattering cans.




You dont Need any tractor beam for that. Havent used one and clicking on one scaterring Container automatically uses an "onboard" tractor.



Correct. Double click would move your ship towards them.. this only helps if they are more then 2.5 km away to catch them with your onboard tractor.




Your really Need to get the cans that contain the valuable loot. Thus for you Need to cargo scan the whole Container before hacking/analyzing.

For example: Data site: Carfo scan Shows you only decryptors and datacores. Then you only go for "parts" minicontainers. Any other Container contains "crap" . So after you got all your before scanned loot from parts Containers.... just move on to the next hackable/analyzeable Container.




You know the loot from the crago scna before you hack/analyze it. The colours where just mentioned for the high to lowest valuable loot on neural boost.(now ist empty). The colours dont aplly in the game.

Granted, I'm doing this is hi-sec space. I also realize there's an implant to help with this, but I don't have that kinda ISK yet.

my help:

Data sites:

Pre cargo scan: Faction starbase structures, data Interfaces, T2 Rigs, skill books = Data Containers
decryptors, Datacores = Parts Containers.

Relic Sites:

Salvage t1/t2 = Material and parts Containers.
Faction starbase structures/t2 rigs/prototype Inferno modules (aar, asb,lmjd....)/skillbooks = data Containers.

So you always can skip scrap Containers and Equipment Containers.

Forgive all These capital letter words... it is automatically doing this in this Forum for me :(

First, thanks for the replies....very helpful and useful. That's the list I was talking about in my OP. I'll go back and read it, but I didn't really glean anything from it.

I guess the question I *still* have, is when collecting the cans, do I only click on one at a time? ie: click a can, wait for it to retrieve and then click another.....or can I click multiple cans and they will be brought in one after the other?

I think other people covered pretty much everything, but in short:

-Data Sites: Scan for valuables like blueprints, if there are none, go for parts/materials, and I think equipment too
-Relic Sites: Parts/Materials have everything, ignore the others
-How to fly: I usually keep at 2500m from what I'm hacking since this is the distance needed for the "tractor beam" to pull the container. This way you can grab the ones coming at you first and then go for the ones going away without having to change directions much, which will cost you some time.

And finally:



When you click one once, you're going after it until the ship manages to get it. I think you can cancel it clicking in another but only if you're farther than 2500m. I usually choose the first one of the kind I want and use the time to check out the names of the others and plan the order that I will chase them, and start clicking as soon as the ship is pulling the container.

Ahhh, I went back and re-read this document, and with some of the stuff I learned here, I now understand it. Should help me to figure out what cans to go for right away.

And just to add for anyone who might search and come across this thread, HERE'S a thread about hacking and such. Dunno why I never found it with all the searching I did, so here it is for other's that might find it useful.
