The reason is: Loot table? How much can you expect from this site?
Observatory Infiltration is a scannable cosmic signature of Level II scanning difficulty. It appears in Low Security space and in Pochven.
The signature is disguised as a combat site but is designed for hacking ships. The acceleration gate at warp-in allows up to T1 cruisers to enter. Notable for a hacking site it does not allow covert ops frigates.
Site details
On warp-in you will land next to an Unmoored Jovian Observatory structure. The main loot of this site comes from hacking the Drifter Collection containers scattered around. They need to be hacked with a relic analyzer (Medium Difficulty, 70 HP yellow core).
|
The site has a "lockdown" mechanic that activates upon failing any hack within the site even once, or triggering any of the various traps within. This will activate the hostile sentries inside the site which will quickly and easily destroy unprepared explorers. The site will not immediately despawn after lockdown is activated and the lockdown status is visible from the acceleration gate at initial warp-in, so avoid entering the site if the display shows that lockdown has been activated. |

A variety of dangerous traps are set around the grid, many which will activate upon triggering Lockdown. Some of them can be manually disabled by hacking them with a Relic Analyzer. If you intend to play it safe and disable the traps before hacking the loot containers, prioritize hacking the Patient Jailer sentries first - if not, they will deploy interdiction probes that will block you from warping out when Lockdown is triggered. The hack is a 50HP green core (very easy difficulty) - it should not be too difficult even for a modestly experienced explorer.
The hazards are classified as Large Collidable Structures on your overview. Make sure this setting is visible to avoid wandering into a trap by accident. All of the proximity structures have a clearly visible green bubble-like detection sphere that will periodically fade in and out. Keep track of how far the sphere goes out so you don't unknowingly fly too close to it when the sphere is faded out.
The Patient Eradicator sentries make up most of the site danger and deal a combined total in excess of 600 DPS omni damage upon being activated by Lockdown. They have extremely high tracking speed in line with frigate-sized guns so attempting to speed-tank them is not possible. (Armor buffer tanked Limited Sleeper Cache Astero fit died in 3 volleys.) They can also be disabled with a Relic Analyzer (70HP Green core, Easy difficulty).
The Watchful Authority can be hacked to disable the sentries if Lockdown is already active. Keep in mind this is a 90 HP Red Core hack and is not worth interacting with if lockdown has not been activated yet.
