the hacking minigame

[Flying Fish]

why is this a thing its pure rng i had ones where there would be 3 anti viruses in a row making it immpossible for me to open it and others are super easy why dont you just give me the loot?

instead of this rng minigame also i noticed the loot doesnt affect the difficulty at all i had easy ones that dropped over 10 mil and very hard ones that dropped below 1 million why?

Do yourself a favor, equip a cargo scanner and scan the hack cans to see which ones are worth hacking and leave the others. It'll save you some time and leaves the site up, so any explorers behind you wind up wasting time scanning down the "dirty" site.

better destroy the cans by fail hacking twice instead of shooting in your foot

Once a site is completed another spawns somewhere else, aye, but it can spawn anywhere else in the galaxy (same sec status though) so there's no reason to think scuttling the site will yield any benefit.

As for estimated value, correct it doesn't provide one. Still, one can usually make an educated guess as to the value of the goodies within.
