I'm sick of finding cherry picked sites, too.

Simple solution: scan-proof containers. No peeking at your Christmas presents, otherwise you'll only get Carbon in your stocking.

Hi all

Before kronos i made ruffly 150m/h from relic site.

My best site yeilded me 800m once.

I made good money and it was fun maybe 2b a week only on exploration.

Now i have heard they brought the nerfbat..

Personaly i loved the explotion of cans from the wrecks that added something + you hade a chanse to miss the good loot.

I need to get back to it and see wth have happend time to roll the dice!

After Kronos I've tried to manufacture some BPC's from data to see if it would compensate value beetwen them and relics. I focused on making ships data interfaces. There was some profit but not so great to cover the hole beetwen data/relics.

CCP reduce datacores volume.

In my opinion the mini professions are now done, and enough time has been spent on them.

Don't wanna put words in your mouth, but as a young explorer, my beef is that the Arch and Hacking minigames are the exact same thing; rather, almost insultingly, they have different sound files in a few places (i.e. the differences in them are cosmetic, nothing more).

I'm sure I'm going to get flak for this, but an "easy" fix would be to make ghost sites hacking-only, which would bump up the necessity to specialize in hacking. Ghost sites are already a little different from regular scan sites with their mechanics, so why not separate our two minigame exploration games from each other in ways a little deeper than surface-level?

Then hackers and archaeologists might actually feel different. Right now, they're effectively the same thing, you're just training an extra skill for [reasons]. And, as many have pointed out, there's not really a strong compulsion to get Hacking V.

I'd really like to see a different minigame between hacking/arch as a whole, because why I am "hacking" arch sites is beyond me, but that goes in the same file as, "How can we make mining a little more involving from 'push button, receive bacon ore'."

As much as i loved first days of new hacking system (back then you could do several billions in an evening) i do love my cheap as crap t2 rigs.

Still, what happened to faction towers/modules drop from data sites? Anyone saw anything recently?

Haven't seen one of those for months, and I have about 50 such bpc's lying around since before whatever patch nerfed the drop rate.

Save Nemah!

Few days ago i've heard curious thing about cargo scanner and empty cans on one of in-game chat channels. Ppl claimed that scanner is imperfect and don't always shows exact exploration can content. Anybody experience that?

The cargo scanner won't show garbage like Carbon, maybe they meant that?

Loot worth even 3,5 mil (lowsec). I tried to rescan empty cans for a few times, always got "empty can" result.
