Abandoned Research Complex DG018
Locating & Difficulty
This is a data site that can be scanned down with scanner probes, and can be found in null security space in the Etherium Reach and Perrigen Falls Regions. Opening the cans requires a Data Analyzer. Failing a hacking attempt on any of the cans may result in enemy frigate NPC spawns. Containers do not self destruct no matter how many times a hacking attempt is failed.
The site is an open deadspace pocket that can be warped to at any range.Rats may spawn on a failed hack but these can be easily taken care of in a exploration frigate with light missiles or drones.
Complete all the cans for the site to escalate.
The Site Itself
The data site has three cans:
- 2 "High Security Containment Facility" (Green Cores)
- 1 "Research and Development Laboratories" (Red Core)
2-3 Enemy drones (frigate class) may spawn on failed codebreaking on any of the cans.
Rewards
Loot includes (in order of decreasing frequency):
- Rogue Drone Components
- 'Integrated' Hobgoblin, Hammerhead and Ogre BPCs (30 runs)
- 'Augmented' Hobgoblin and Hammerhead BPCs (10 run)
Typically either of the "high-security" cans has the biggest share of loot while the other only contains drone components and the "Research Laboratories" lab is empty (but not always!).
Majority of the value in loot comes from the escalations, which drop 'Augmented' Drone Blueprint Copies
Escalation
There is a possibility that the site may escalate to Derelict Research Complex DG006
