The expected return for hacking is slightly positive and at least 0 since many view the gained badge and RP is worth 5 energy and, assuming that crit success/fail are the same chance, the expectancies cancel each other out because you also have the chance to obtain a planet. However, a couple more friking dynite just doesn't cut it with a crew member. The expected return is therefore probably negative unless someone has a fetish for yellow badges, not to mention that the only useful reward is the badge as I only get about 50 points at my level and therefore raiding gives negligible point rewards. Since im desperate for protean armories as they save a lot of deck space at my measly level 38, I am driven to do it, but Im positive Ill quit as soon as i get them the saturation amount.
