Missions & Complexes

I think I used a relic but I don't remember. The hacking game was very difficult which I don't mind, I am just wanting to know if there is better setup. I have mid grade virtues and lvl 5 skills, is there another way to raise relic and data strengths?

If you have hacking and archeology to 5, thus t2 analyzers and a astero/covops, thats the best you can have, as far as virus strength goes (virus damage), apart of the sansha one.

There are the 9 and 10 slot implats that give you coherence (virus hp), 5 each.

Loot fairy struck again. Got three Polarized bp's from one site. One was in the pressure chamber thing and the other two were in the can with the force field. I came VERY close to dying in both cases. I mis-timed flying out of the pressure chamber and took my shields all the way down and on the security one I failed the first and was one click away from failing the second.

The BP's were for a 1 run 800mm repeating cannon, 3 run heavy neutron blaster and a 10 run 200mn autocannon. Not a bad night that.

Before that one I found a couple of others that had very little with the best being a science skill book worth 10m.

They also seem to take a while to de-spawn on their own. One site I only hacked the easy can near the warp-in for a meta weapon and came back a couple hours later and the site was still there. It may de-list from the signatures after doing the pressure thing.

So far I've pulled:

Polarized 800mm Repeating Cannon BPC - 1 run
Polarized Mega Pulse Laser BPC - 1 run
'Radical' Damage Control I BPC - 3 runs (was selling for 800mil+ each but its down to 500 now)
'Motte' Capacitor Power Relay 1 BPC - 3 runs
'Deuce' Co-Processor 1 BPC - 3 runs
'Executive' Remote Sensor Damp 1 BPC - 3 runs
'Desert Heat' Thermic Dissipation Field BPC - 3 runs
A few skillbooks worth 10mil each

And then a bunch of lesser value stuff. I think I've done around 5 sites or so, some of them at various degrees of completion by other players by the time I got to it. I started off with an Astero with a hacking rig and hacking lvl 3 and analyzing lvl 2. I failed the relic containers a lot but you get as many chances as you want so I was able to do the sites. I've got both skills at 4 now, training to 5. The site is a bit of a pain because I'm never in a frigate, always in my Gila. So I have to bookmark the site and madly dash for my Astero. Loot isn't amazing or anything. But the site is fun to do and I enjoy it.

I actually never bothered to try the data/relic mini game until now.

You need both. Relic and Data.


I did one of these in High sec a few days ago. Took a while to scan it down (my skills are not this good).

I used a tristan and only a tech 1 Relic and Data. No other boosts. Hacking and Archology only 2 and 3.
It was a total pain :) and took a lot of tries. But it IS possible.

Basicly there are a few (5 in my case) Storage containers. You need the Relic for these.

3 containers were alone and could easy be hacked without any damage or surprise.
Two of the containers were "guarded". One with the gas cloud that could be disabled with the pressure tank data cache (no loot in this one, only turns of the cloud for a few min). The second by a shield that can be disabled over the defense cache (again no loot in this one, need Data for it).

It seems that the loot caches can be tried as many times as you want. They didnt explode and did no damage.
But the cloud cache and the defense cache were doing damage when failed.

And it was not possible for me to stay in the cloud after the time was over. There was even a message in the chat about this. First 60 sec, than 30 sec and last a 10 sec warning in red that the cloud will appear again. It was not possible to turn it off after this point.


The loot was bad. Around 4 million in stuff, no BPC. But i could not hack the cloud can. It can be that the good loot was in this one.

I just found one of these sites about 30 mins ago had no clue they where even in the game and knew nothing about them. Had a corp mate jump on mum and explain them, didn't go in any order first can almost killed me so I burnt out to save my ship, decided the t2 bpc wasn't worth it and I would just check the site out so I could be more prepared later. So I started carefully getting close to each can and scanning to see what type if loot I was missing out on....

Went to a can on the outside had a storyline 100mn rocket booster bpc 3 run copy worth about 1.5bil...couldn't pass it up. First try opened it and didn't get hit with anything, considering 1.5b is a lot to me I jumped straight back into my wormholes back to highsec celebrating all the way.

I find these very entertaining to the regular sites bc of the added challenge.

Doesn't the rift thing work like acceleration gate e.g. you cant warp directly to the pocket, but you must warp to site?
