The goal of the hacking ~~minigame~~ is to '''find and disable the Container’s System Core'''. You do this by maneuvering a Virus through the board of nodes that represents the Container’s electronics.

The goal of the hacking is to '''find and disable the Container’s System Core'''. You do this by maneuvering a Virus through the board of nodes that represents the Container’s electronics.

Nodes are:

* 5 means you are 5 or more nodes away from the nearest System Core, Utility Subsystem or Data Cache

~~The~~ number doesn't tell you how distant you are from the nearest Defensive Subsystem.

Note that the number doesn't tell you how distant you are from the nearest Defensive Subsystem.

* '''Strength''' which is its attack power displayed below the icon

Your Virus will attack the System Core or Defensive Subsystem when you click it.

* once a Covert Research Facility or Ghost Site Container structure will be destroyed and deal a large amount of damage to all ships in range

'''Finding and disabling the System Core is the goal of hacking.'''

System Cores and Defensive Subsystems have:

* '''Coherence''' which is its health displayed atop the icon

* '''Strength''' which is its attack power displayed below the icon

Your Virus’s Coherence and Strength are listed in the bottom left of the hacking window.

Your Virus will attack the System Core or Defensive Subsystem when you click it. Attacking is turn-based:

# your Virus attacks, lowering the System's Coherence by your Virus Strength and then

# the System Core or Defensive Subsystem retaliates if it survived the attack

When you reduce the System's Coherence to 0, it is disabled and removed from the board.

You fail a hack when:

* your Virus Coherence reaches 0

* close the hacking window for any reason such as moving too far away from the Container structure

If you fail the hack:

* twice a Data or Relic Site Container structure will be destroyed

* once a Covert Research Facility or Ghost Site Container structure will be destroyed and deal a large amount of damage to all ships in range

* once a Sleeper Cache will release a deadly toxic gas, activate turrets or put up other obstacle
