Amended the page to display the most recent information about the 5th can (some from our wonderful community, and some from a forum post in 2023), and cleaned some of the wording up a little. Also removed the update header :) |

When you enter the site a two to three minute timer is started '''<span style="color:red">(unless you warp in cloaked)</span>'''. The time is random and not shown, but it seems that the more ships are in the site at once, the longer the timer (in practice, if running a site solo, you will generally have enough time to hack and loot 2 cans before the timer expires). | When you enter the site a two to three minute timer is started '''<span style="color:red">(unless you warp in cloaked)</span>'''.

Since time is of the essence, it is not generally recommended to scan the containers with a cargo scanner due to the limited time that is available before the rats warp in and make the cans explode, however if you're fast and have not fitted warp core stabilizers to your ship, you can. | Since time is of the essence, it is not generally recommended to scan the containers with a cargo scanner due to the limited time that is available before the rats warp in and make the cans (i.e. containers) explode, however if you're fast and have not fitted warp core stabilizers to your ship, you can. | ||
The stashes are opened by the hacking mini game known from [[data site]]s; once the hack is complete, you can loot the cans directly. The cans are normally in a square, equal distance from each other, with one having better loot than the rest. | The stashes are opened by the hacking mini game known from [[data site]]s; once the hack is complete, you can loot the cans directly.

The hacking difficulty is comparable to the difficulty of hacking a data or relic site in a system with the same security status. If you fail your hacking attempt, either all the containers in the site will explode immediately or just the container you were working on will explode (see also [[#Explosions|below]]), unlike with normal data sites. If just the single can explodes rather than all of them, you can continue hacking but the hidden timer is still running. Unlike regular data sites, when these cans explode, they do damage to your ship. | The hacking difficulty is comparable to the difficulty of hacking a data or relic site in a system with the same security status.

|In each site there is now a 5th | |In each high/low security site there is now a 5th container placed above and to the center of the 4 original ones, directly above the warp-in point. In lowsec it consistently drops 1x Electro-Neural Signaller and nothing else. In high-sec it is always empty. Furthermore, it does not get destroyed by rats and will remain after they leave. This makes it a viable and lucrative strategy, if exploring in a frigate, to drop a bookmark on the 5th container, hack 1 or 2 of the other cans and then move at least 40km away. Wait until the the rats leave, and then come back and hack the top can. | ||
