Once you have completed the hacking process by breaking the system core, the window will close and the profession container will eject a number of ''materials containers'' that will float away in different directions.

Material containers disappear after a short time. Your goal is to collect as many of them as possible before they do so. To collect one, just left click the brackets in space of the container you'd like to scoop, and your ship will scoop it. This takes a few seconds.

* Your goal is to collect as many of them as possible before they do so.
* You can only scoop one container at a time.
* To scoop a materials container:
** Left click the brackets in space of the container you'd like to scoop, and your ship will scoop it.
** This takes a few seconds.
* A small icon at the left side of your HUD will be displayed for each materials container you scoop.


You can only collect one container at a time. When your ship is free to start scooping a container again, the brackets will be green. If you're already scooping, the target material container's bracket will be colored white, while all others will be yellow to indicate your ship is busy at the moment.
The brackets on each materials container let you know its status.


If you're too far from a materials container (> 3,500 m) you can't loot it at all and their brackets will turn grey.
* Green brackets: Your ship can start scooping the next container.
* White brackets: Your ship is currently scooping this container.
* Yellow brackets: Your ship is currently scooping another container.
* Gray brackets: Your ship is too far away to scoop this container.  


A small icon at the left side of your HUD will be displayed for every item you acquire this way.
Also, for every failed hacking attempt, the number of materials containers a specific profession container will release will increase. However, the overall loot will stay the same, thus making it harder for you to collect the same amount of items.
