Hacking can be done in any ship that has mid slots for Data and/or Relic Analyzers. However, ~~there are~~ ships ~~with innate bonuses to hacking. These ships gain very helpful~~ bonus ~~to hacking module virus strength, the additional probe strength bonus helps with scanning. Nothing prevents you from doing hacking in other ships but unbonused hull places more weight on skills~~ and ~~knowledge~~.

Hacking can be done in any ship that has mid slots for Data and/or Relic Analyzers. However, exploration ships have a role bonus for both Virus and scan Strength.

Each ~~race~~'s T1 Exploration ~~frigate~~ has ~~an innate~~ role bonus of 5~~+ virus strength~~ to both Data and Relic Analyzers. These ships also get an 7.5% (37.5% max) increase to scan strength per racial frigate level, which helps in ~~finding hacking sites~~.

Each Empire's Tech 1 Exploration Frigate has a role bonus of +5 Virus Strength to both Data and Relic Analyzers. These ships also get an 7.5% (37.5% max) increase to scan strength per racial frigate level, which helps in scanning down Cosmic Signatures.

~~Covops~~ ships are the direct upgrade from ~~T1 scanning frigates~~. They get a +10 bonus to ~~virus strength~~, +10% (50% max) per level bonus to scanning, and can use ~~covert ops cloaking devices~~.

Covert Operation ships are the direct upgrade from Tech 1 Exploration Frigates. They get a +10 bonus to Virus Strength, +10% (50% max) per level bonus to scanning, and can use Covert Ops Cloaking Device II.

The [[Sisters_of_Eve|Sisters of EVE]] faction ships all have a +10 bonus to Virus Strength ~~(Same as Covops Ships)~~, a 37.5% role bonus to scanning ~~(Same as T1 Exploration Frigates)~~, and the ~~frigate~~ and ~~cruiser are also able to fit~~ a Covert Ops ~~cloak~~. They also get bonus to armor resists, energy turrets and drones making them capable combat crafts. They have lower skill requirements than ~~CovOps T2's~~, but they are ~~insanely expensive compared to other T1 ships and considerably~~ more expensive than T2 ships.

The [[Sisters_of_Eve|Sisters of EVE]] faction ships all have a +10 bonus to Virus Strength, a 37.5% role bonus to scanning, and both the Astero and the Stratios can use a Covert Ops Cloaking Device II. They also get bonus to armor resists, energy turrets and drones making them capable combat crafts. They have lower skill requirements than Covert Operation ships, but they are more expensive than Covert Operation ships.
