Abandoned Research Complex DG003
Locating & Difficulty
This is a data site that can be scanned down with scanner probes, and can be found in null security space in the Etherium Reach and Perrigen Falls Regions. Opening the cans requires a Data Analyzer. Failing a hacking attempt on any of the cans may result in enemy frigate NPC spawns. Containers do not self destruct no matter how many times a hacking attempt is failed. You cannot loot the hacked cans if it's guarded by the rats.
The site is an open deadspace pocket that can be warped to at any range.
The Site Itself
The data site has three cans:
- 2 "High Security Containment Facility" (Green Cores)
- 1 "Research and Development Laboratories" (Red Core)
2-3 Enemy drones (frigate class) may spawn on failed codebreaking on any of the cans.
Rewards
Loot includes (in order of decreasing frequency):
- Rogue Drone Components
- 'Integrated' Hobgoblin and Hammerhead BPCs (30 runs)
- 'Augmented' Hobgoblin and Hammerhead BPCs (10 run)
Typically either of the "high-security" cans has the biggest share of loot while the other only contains drone components and the "Research Laboratories" lab is empty (but not always!).
Escalation
There is a possibility that the site may escalete to Derelict Research Complex DG006.
Trigger mechanism is not fully understood but is likely caused after interacting with all 3 cans with a codebreaker.
Recorded triggers available publicly include:
- Successful hacking of all 3 cans
- Successfully hacking both "High Security Containment Facility" cans and a failed hacking attempt on the "Research and Development Laboratories" can.
