Ghost Sites: Difference between revisions

When you enter the site a timer is started (unless you warp in cloaked). 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). Because of the limited time it is a good idea to use a cargo scanner and look at the loot in the cans first. The stashes are opened by the hacking mini game known from [[Hacking 101|data and relic sites]] - however, unlike data and relic sites, once the hack is complete, you can loot the structure directly instead of having to scoop up cans. The cans are normally in a square, equal distance from each other, with one having better loot than the rest. (There are reports of the can having the best loot is named differently than the rest) 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 below), unlike with normal data or relic sites. If just the single can explodes rather than all of them, you can continue hacking but the hidden timer is still running.
