Looking at the prices of Intact Armor Plates ... still around 4M, so I would say nothing has changed.

Seriously, Chainsaw Plankton explained it perfectly; but I'll recap.

Some players just go into the relic and data sites, use a cargo scanner to identify the good loot, loot only that can, then move on to the next site. Thereby leaving the next person to come along and get the crap loot.

that's if you notice any cans hacked already

That's if they take everything from a can. Lot of people scan every can with a cargo scanner, go to the can with the most expensive loot, hack it, take only the expensive loot and leave the rest.

The next person will not be able to tell a can has been hacked if someone leaves something in it.

Is this true? I thought cans which have been hacked disappeared within 5 minutes whether you take anything or not.

Also, this topic came up about 6 months ago and it was proven that relic/data sites despawn within 1 hour after a can has been hacked even if you stayed in the site cloaked.

That hasn't been my experience. I've hacked cans before, only took what I wanted, came back later thinking it was a new site, but it was the same one.

I used to think the same thing until this thread. You can test it yourself in case something has changed.

I keep a spreadsheet of the systems I explore so I don't have to rescan sites I've scanned before. I use "copy all" shortcut key to minimize the typing.

I don't do spreadsheets. This is a game, not work.
