[[File:3P38 Limited 28.png|200px|thumb|right|Some hacks are not meant to be]]The first is to hack the Remote Pressure Control Unit, cook a Microwarpdrive (afterburner is not fast enough) the container, quickly hack it, then burn the Microwarpdrive back out before the timer runs out. There is enough time for 2 "standard paced" hacks, 1 "slow hack" or 3 really fast hack attempts, depends how good the hacker is and ... luck. Normally it's a red hack, which means all the usual Virus Suppressors and Restoration Nodes. The problem with this approach is both the limited timeframe and if a player cannot survive the incoming damage after the timer is up, there is a chance of explody bits. | [[File:3P38 Limited 28.png|200px|thumb|right|Some hacks are not meant to be]]The first is to hack the Remote Pressure Control Unit, cook a Microwarpdrive (afterburner is not fast enough) to the container inside the wreck cloud, quickly hack it, then burn the Microwarpdrive back out before the timer runs out.

The second approach is to fit specifically for surviving the area of affect cloud. All toxic gas clouds, both the prespawned ones and the ones that are generated upon detonation of an Unstable Plasma Chamber do similar damage. This approach is recommended, though it does require excellent capacitor skills and proper tank skills. The advantage of this approach is the hacker can hack the container at his leisure, with little personal risk to himself before the hack can be completed. | The second approach is to fit specifically for surviving the area of affect cloud.

:3. Immediately apply Keep at Range (2250m) on the Storage Depot inside the wreck cloud, then turn on the Microwarpdrive. Turn it off when you get close enough to it. Lock it up if not done so already, and immediately begin hacking it with the Relic Analyzer II. | :3.

The Area of Effect damage cloud near the wreck does roughly 100 DPS to a standard unmodified resistance profile of a Tech I vessel. Its approximate dimensions, measured from the Storage Depot within, is about 12km in radius.<br /> | The Area of Effect damage cloud near the wreck does roughly 100 DPS to a standard unmodified resistance profile of a Tech I vessel.
