You wouldn't see someone hack into a bank and set it up so that all the money inside the bank vault would be blasted into the sky - yeah its done the job of getting the loot but its in such an ineffective method and most likely means that you lose a good amount of the loot you've worked hard to get.
for what I've seen its different than that - you're rather digging in a trash bin hoping for a half of a hamburger someone dumped there under all the waste, or you go the easy mode and scan the cans, because all stuff whats not a tower or other POS module BPC is basically worthless sh*t, which is btw. one thing what bothers me most - the first explorer arriving at a fresh spawned site checks all cans and moves on if there is nothing of value, for all his successors probing down and doing the same thing (scanning cans) is basically a pure waste of time, over and over till the site despawns or some noob really hacks everything inside causing the site to despawn.
Big flaws I see with this new concept (of scannable cans especially). |

im pretty sure they dont.
I tried 1 hour ago hacking with a gila, then docked, switched to a helios and went back to bookmark, the cans and half done site was still there. |

so, NPC are removed from relic sites?
"This gate is locked! There are synchronized gate scramblers on all hostile entities in this deadspace pocket. Unless you are physically inside one of them to unscramble the signal, you must simply clear the vicinity of enemy ships. So grab your guns."
3 NPC BS waiting to be killed in a "Forgotten Ruins" Site.

What I've learned about cargo scanner is that scanning cans is totally pointless because its unreliable.
The cans may contain items which dont appear on scan, or dont contain items which are displayed in scan - basically after the scan you know exactly the same as before what loot is possible and what is not, you could simply omit that without loosing any information. |

I've had the exact opposite result. Every time I've scanned a can I've been able to cherry pick whatever comes up on scan(Decryptors, BPCs, Data Cores) and when I grab cans that aren't shown on the result all I get is NPC junk.
well, it did definitely happen for me, stuff popped out which hasnt been on scan, so who says it couldnt be a tower BPC surprisingly spew out despite scan displayed otherwise??
Why to scan at all if you would hack all cans anyways disregarding scan result?? |

well, it did definitely happen for me, stuff popped out which hasnt been on scan, so who can certainly tell if tower BPC dont surprisingly pop out despite scan displayed otherwise too?? Why to scan at all if you would hack all cans anyways disregarding scan result?? They changed the spew mechanics so it is almost impossible now to get all of them solo. So cherry picking is the best option.
How is this related to my concern? I know I need an alt to get all lootz. |

so, checked the vids. its Carbon, Data Sheets and Hydrogen Batteries which werent in scan result but dropped from cans.
And a completely different matter CCP, why do you put T1 salvage crap into loot tables? Seriously, noone cares about T1 salvage since the introduction of the Noctis it has become totally worthless. |

after doing a sh*tload of hackings now after 2 evenings I believe its a big waste of time doing them as profession.
You might complete 2-3 of them and get lucky with drop, then wasting next 20 hours for almost nothing.
Not worth the effort IMO. |
