Still...its something new and different and to be honest I prefer it to the standard, "found a site, warp to, bookmark, warp back to station, grab a combat ship, warp back, shoot ****, warp back to station, grab my exploration ship, sit and run a modules for several times with a chance of success. At which point unless its a radar site you get crap compared to missions.

As CCP Soundwave stated, "that isn't exploration." Not to mention its a real pain in the ass to constantly move two ships at a time. Granted, if you are in a T3 you are set, but its a big stick up the backside to everyone else lol. At least this provides a new challenge and doesnt require two ships to do.

It would be great if there was a harder version of the hacking mini game with a larger grid that requires multiple players to work together simultaneously to complete.

And last thing..sry to be such a pain..... as i read in that hacking minigame if u fail the hack u get an warning and after that probably the loot is spewed out in space and u have to click to get it like we saw in the demo at fanfest. But what happens if you successfully hack the can....will the loot still be spewed in space? and if it is the same result for both actions why even bother to successfully hack the can when u can access the loot just by failing?

Other thing we need hacking mods to augment the virus we have, getting 15/3 without any option to increase that(besides the t2 analyzer and the skill it self which none give virus strength, and the +1 cohesion role bonus on the t1 scan frigate) .

No balancing has been done in this version at all.

Including loot? Because the loot in this current iteration doesn't exactly bring my hopes up about this being a viable means of making isk.

All this will do is give multiboxers another edge over regular players. Bad enough for solo explorers already with the jetissoned cans. It's something that screams multiboxing.

Still thinks that mini game thingy is bad idea, no one do those sites in HS (but ok this can be buffed), and sure no one will be doing them in LS now, and buff wont help it (required to much attention instead of looking at local and dscan).

Well I figured it out, you just have to clik nodes blindly as quickly as possible.

Then if you are lucky enuf to get the can's core craked before running out of time it chucks stuff alll over the place and most of it is lost.

I was a dedicated scanner who avoided mag sites in hisec, except in WH space and null, as the crap in them was preety worthless.

It has KILLED doing Data sites for me. I absolutely give it a -10
