I was looking at the skill description for hacking, and something occurred to me - what does this skill actually do? Reading the description it would seem that it could either do 1 of 2 things:
1. It increases the chance that you'll be able to open a hacking can. Definately a meh skill if this is the case.
OR
2. It increases the chance when you open a can that something interesting will be found.
If it's (1) then I see no point to a hacking rig, which makes me think it's (2), but I don't know. Does anyone actually know?

Edited by: Billbo****ends on 26/12/2006 02:11:20 I am afraid it is option 1, With the introduction of exploration, some exploration sites require hacking to gain access to certain gates and loot cans once inside, prior to this it was only useful in a handful of cosmos missions. Is this is worth the training time or using a rig slot for? really depends on how interested you are in exploration. I also read a post that some hacking sites require a minimum hacking level but have no idea if this is correct. The devs have hinted that hacking and other obscure skills will see more widespread uses through exploration and in other areas, when kali two and three are released.

of the few hack plexes i have run it does appear that if you have a higher level hacking skill you get better results in terms of what you get out, although that may just be variance in what you get each time as I've not run many yet, but we now always only use the highest skilled player to hack.

I've got an alt with Hacking 5, main char has hacking 3. I've been with both through Cosmos hacking plexes, I have found no increased yields (i.e. chances something drops) from the char with Hacking 5.
I think its the same as woth the Salveger, only increases your chance of opening/hacking the can.

No. As stated earlier, it is used for exploration/COSMOS.

Ok, just hacked TWO RADAR sites with the ONLY loot being 1 decrpytor.
I just want to confirm that the hacking skill does not increase chance of yield. (just frustrated because it took me 7 hours to find the two of them)
