hisec relic/data sites are the sux0rz.

Spent like 30 minutes finding it, hacked it, got like 6k isk worth of stuff.

#disappoint

Had alot of fun playing starcraft 2 immediately after that though


So i got that going for me

I like the mini game. Maybe because I've done it only on like 20 sites or sth (then approximately 100 times since there are 4 containers a site and my t1 analyzers fail me sometimes Roll).

I like exploration as it is - a mini profession. I do it when I'm bored or I don't have a lot of time. It's a casual thing for casual players, and it suits me this way.

Bigger rewards mean bigger competition, and bigger competition usually means bigger skill/time commitment, so be careful what you wish for.

When they say "more money from data/relic sites" you should understand they are actually saying "data/relic sites always instantly cleared in radius of 15 jumps".

You can make some decent isk from it. Nowhere near as much as other combat related things but then you're not risking a multi-hundred million isk ship.

The thing that makes it pay less is doing it in areas / times where lots of people are also doing it.

One issue I have with sites is the complete irrelevancy of data sites. They're crap. I'd like to see more faction bpc in data sites but make the cans unscannable. Leave relics how they are, they pay quite well.

actually, there are many issues with the relic / data:

1- the minigame is aweful, do 10 of them and you are done, no challenge, just dumb cliking fest
2- the loot spew is terribad, but get removed so....
3- the overlay scanner thing need to go; especially when you have it turned OFF and yet, it STILL show up to add insult to the irony

4- regarding the payout:
in lowsec, you will have a better isk/hour ratio just chaining the belt rats, and without even speaking about the clones...good clones being 25-30M a pop, you definitely make more isk just doing the belt, and it's not like you need a big ship for that, a t1 cruiser does the job well, as well as assault frigs (fastest i found was cynabal, but starting this summer, i'll need to find another ship because "CCP Rise")...

tldr, in low, it's gone from interesting content, to "WTF this things show up every time i jump"
