I got an email to try out the new features of odyssey as I have not played in over a year and not sure this is where to post but I stick it here anyway and if needs to be moved happy days.
My main game in eve was exploration, and I have to say I absolutely detest this new method of exploration. I have lvl5 skills on most of what you need, apart from arch which is lvl4.
Anyway I still fail to hack the majority of cans in relic sites in null sec. I probably win about 25% of them with an emplant and the tech 2 rigs. I dont know if this is a big on my game or not but there almost impossible to complete most of the time for me.
Then you have to catch the cans when you finally do its madness. Trashed any form of enjoyment I used to get out of these sites not to mention the income.
If this is supposed to get me to sub again I am affraid you have killed my only enjoyment I used to get. This mini game and collect the flying cans is not my idea of fun. Killing the rats for your bounty in the cans was.
So naa nooo naaa nooo |

Are / Were you someone important that we should care whether you like the new exploration mechanics or don't like the new exploration mechanics.
Or are you someone who just comes on the forum to whine? |

Hahah.. its video game.. "someone important"... the only one important is the guy red boxing you.
I'm curious where, if you were unhappy with a product, say a widget made by the ACME Widget Company, where you would go to express your opinion about that product if you felt like it needed to be expressed? Maybe consider downing a Quafe or something belligerent poster.
As for the OP, don't know about null sites. I have L4 skills and have only failed one can in lowsec. If you cargo scan the spew container first, you can determine which cans have the good stuff. That makes it a lot easier to get the higher value items. Just let the others go since they'll be mostly junk anyway. I also like my view zoomed out quite a bit so i can see the entire spread of cans.
The problem you didn't encounter yet is that even the good loot is hardly worth much because everyone is out exploring. I did several lowsec systems and the estimator said I had 8mil in loot :(. Then when I was in a hisec island I did 3 data sites all in one system and my loot estimate jumped to 27mil just from that. Then I went to Dodixie and found the lot of it was worth about 10mil. So I just stored it away for some day it is worth something. I have 5 different chars that I play. This may be my main, or maybe not. I have no idea. |

What ship you flying? Thers 10 points virus strenght on cov ops frigs and emergent locus subsystem for t3. As for difficulty of containers. I have max skills and use the best available equipment. Would estimate i get close to 100% of tier 1 and 2 containers and 80-90% of tier 3 containers (the ones with the red core). Despite what people say it's not completely luck based. The right strategy makes a difference. In the beginning i had maybe 50% success with tier 3 containers. |

Then you are doing it wrong. Even with level 4 in Hacking/Arch you should be able to complete >>75% of the games. Maybe you should rethink your strategy?

There are sites out there that tell you which cans to pick up in the sites. Its very easy to get a high income from doing sites. (I live in Guristas space, but I guess other pirate space is similar).
I wish I were a cat. That way, I could kill things and people would applaud - instead of screaming out "OH GOD NO, NOT MY DAUGHTER!" |
