So, i've been doing some exploration lately. Two questions got to my head:
First, i can't understand the math behind virus strength. I use a covops frigate which, acording to description, gives a +10 strength per level of covops skill. I have said skill trained to level IV and, along with the 20 virus strength basis from relic/data analyzers, should net a total of 60 strength. However, i only get 30 for both sites. What am i missing here? The coherence math is OK on the other hand - 40 basis for relic/data analyzers plus 40 from skills trained to level IV are giving me 80 coherence.
The second question is about what happens when you fail the hacking attempt. Most of the time two fails will just cause the container to explode. However, when going for the drone regions i discovered that one failed attemp made hostile npcs to spawn (haven't tried a second time). Does that happen all across the drone regions? Where else? In W-Space too?

1) That's not a per level bonus, it's a flat bonus. Annoying wording, but that's how it is. For instance:
Quote:Covert Ops Skill Bonus: 20% reduced CPU need for Cloaking Devices per level 10% increase to scan strength of probes per level 10% reduction to survey probe flight time per level +10 Virus Strength to Relic and Data Analyzers
That last line? No per level on there. It really ought to be moved to a role bonus for consistency though.
2) I've only seen rats spawn in null, but I've seen it in multiple regions. It's not consistent though.
In wormholes, the sites are unchanged: sleepers are there waiting for you and you more or less have to dispatch them. Don't go there in a covops hoping to get much of anything done. |

This will make more sense to you than what I can attempt.
I've got everything at Level 5, all T2 Mods and Rigs and do it in an exploration fit Tengu, so I've just cracked open everything everywhere since Day One so far without even looking at the numbers.
You'll get there |

That is kinda weird not having that separated out to Role Bonus designation. Just leaving off "per level" is not clear enough to newer players. |

This is a nice short guide. "Measure Twice, Cut Once." |
