When I created my account in the game I picked hacking as my special ability but every time I use it on someone I only get a minimal amount of research points. It feels like its not even worth using the 5 energy for it. Is this all I can expect from hacking? or is it possible to get better results that are worth my while? Maybe I just need to be patient and things will get better at a higher rank? ...currently lvl 32. Or did I really blow it when I picked to be a hacker?
It's good. As you level up, you'll be able to hack higher level players getting higher RP per hack for same 5 energy. It'll pay off good down the road. I know it feels worthless at the beginning, you are only low level. Also, you have chance to discover planets without the need to scan.. That alone worth it too..
