Relic and data sites: Difference between revisions

Pirate relic and data sites can be found in all [[k-space|normal space regions]], as well as in C1, C2 and C3 class [[Wormhole Space|wormhole systems]]. They are pockets of space populated with a variety of cosmetic structures (i.e., wrecked stations, abandoned machines) and several containers that need to be [[hacking|hacked]] before the contents can be accessed. The sites do not have any triggers or NPC defenders. Pirate relic sites contain T1 and T2 [[Salvaging#Uses_for_salvage|salvage materials]], skillbooks and [[Blueprints#Blueprint_Copies|blueprint copies]]. Pirate data sites contain decryptors, datacores, skillbooks, blueprint copies and manufacturing materials. The contents may vary by faction.

Data sites use the following naming convention according to their location: "{{co|wheat|Local}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in high-security systems; "{{co|wheat|Regional}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in low-security systems; and "{{co|wheat|Central}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in null-security and wormhole systems. Relic sites follow a similar convention: "{{co|wheat|Crumbling}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in high-security systems; "{{co|wheat|Decayed}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in low-security systems; and "{{co|wheat|Ruined}} {{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} {{co|#9ef37c|(site)}}" in null-security and wormhole systems. Each region spawns sites for the local pirate group.

Data site containers have a physical appearance that resembles a gyroscope, and are usually named "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Info Shard", "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Com Tower" or "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Mainframe". Relic Site containers resemble ancient shipwrecks and are named "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Debris" or "{{co|#9ef37c|(Faction)}} Rubble". You'll have to hack into the containers first by playing the [[hacking|hacking minigame]]. In order to attempt a hack, you’ll need to lock on to the container and activate the corresponding hacking module. The module (Relic Analyzer in a Relic Site, Data Analyzer in a Data Site, or Integrated Aanalyzer for both) only works if the distance between the container and your ship is less or equal to the module's maximum activation range. Activating the module will open a new window containing the hacking minigame. Failing to hack a container twice will destroy it and its contents.
