Data/Relic Site Difficulty

Sorry, for some reason I wasn't logged in.
That was my question.
-
@Skylar-Noob In general, yes. But not always.
-
whats the best strategy when hacking a databank or ruins?
-
@Adam-Parvi Rule of Six.
-
@Thrice-Hapus That, plus the zuegma/blackglass combo.

I've had very difficult hacks resulting in a red core only to be rewarded with 2 lumps of carbon for my troubles, so I always pre-scan my cans. I'll also cherry pick in J-space as, like others have stated, when you have 100m+ isk in loot, getting ganked for a can worth 40k isn't fun.
I'll always clean up in K-space and null though as you know if your alone or not.
The odds of another explorer scanning the site with that 20min despawn window will be quite low I would think.
I also find it adds just that little extra protection whilst hacking another site as any potential hunters may visit the partially finished site first.

If this is true, odds are not in my favor - I sure find a lot of cherry-picked sites.

Guess who forgot Mainframe cans blow up in J space after the first failed hack?!
This guy.
And I lost my favorite Astero too
. I did manage to get my Helois back in the hole and get the wreck though, so at least I got the Sister's Launcher and some probes back.Oops!

They don't normally blow up, just if you're in a covert site.

@Calder-Torres That does not happen in regular data sites anywhere, hack fails can only cause death in sleeper caches or ghost sites. As this was in J space, it must have been a ghost site, official name "covert research facility". Check the link post below on which sites have npc dangers.
