![]() ![]() You might finally find a site and fail to open anything. The above example literally happened to me with screenshots of every system scanned to prove to the developers how broken this system is.įirstly, even with 5/5/5 in all relevant skills, a fully tricked out Exploration ship, and the best gear, it's random chance if you even manage to open the boxes. You log in and try again, and after 200 systems scanned, you've found a single Relic Site that happened to have about 200m ISK of gear in it.Īll in all, you've spent over a billion, spent hours getting frustrated at the lack of sites, and earned back 240m ISK, of you're lucky. Tomorrow you log in and scan 50 systems and find one Data Site and, after failing to open two of the boxes despite having good skills etc, you loot about 40m ISK worth of gear. You scan 450 systems and find no relic or data sites. You brace yourself, you undock and go scanning. You're probably at least 1bn ISK invested at this point, truth be told. So, by this point, you've shelled out for a Wide Resonance Scanner, a good Relic and Data Analyzer, and you're either flying an Interceptor (because the Explorers, despite being designed for this role, don't have enough mid slots), an Astero, or a Covert Ops Cruiser. To be able to scan every single site in the game, you'll need a 75m Min Scan which requires heavy skills, rigs, or hull bonuses or a mix of all three.īoth Hacking and Space Exploration Technology are very expensive skills to train. If you want to Explore in Lowsec, you'll want to get this down to 120m with skills, rigs, or ship hull. These have come down in cost, which means that an Explorer isn't overly expensive and, on its own, is sufficient to find every site that can spawn in Hisec as it has 230m Min Scan Res. You'll also need a good Wide Resonance Scanner. Without the skills, even the best Analyzer will fail over and over again. ![]() Directly, hacking skills multiply the likelihood of successfully opening boxes. In order to be remotely useful here, you need the skills. I'd ultimately recommend a set of Meta 8s, (and they're still ludicrously expensive for what they are) as it's not just about the boxes that can be opened but also the Success Rate which is higher on the M8s and amplified by skills. The Meta 8s allow you to open the last 10%, but there's nothing exclusively in those last boxes. These will allow you to open approximately 90% of the boxes you find. You'll need at least a Meta 5 Data Analyzer and a Meta 5 Relic Analyzer. The tl dr here is that, simply put, it isn't worth it I wish Exploration were a valid source of income. ![]()
