From 0b10's perspective, the Derelicts broke in, security fought them out and no-one got caught.
That location has nothing to do with 0b10, by the way--you've stumbled into something much... different with that place.
I mean there's only a few items in there anyway, and visiting is only worth 1000 points. That's.. why I went there. For the points.
It's incredibly important lore-wise, if you can decrypt the terminal there. But it's also intentionally among the most challenging things you can do in the game. That said, there are also
The balance has certainly changed lately, though! Before Beta 8 it didn't used to be quite so deadly (only... really deadly rather than "if you aren't a top pro it's probably going to squash you" deadly xD), so perhaps something might change with regard to telegraphing this in the future, though it's not easy to do given the context.
Note if you're looking to explore the full extent of Cogmind's world without putting too much time into it, I highly recommend switching to the easiest difficulty, because on the regular difficulty you'll be looking at putting in many hundreds of hours before you see everything! (Save scumming is honestly an okay approach, too, if your priority is to avoid wasting time--not everyone has the luxury of hundreds of hours to pour into Cogmind
. I'm even planning to add arbitrary save-load access to the lowest difficulty for this reason.)
I think the change to add trackers was a bit of an experiment, maybe Kyzrati will think of another way to keep combat players from farming intercepts without making flight quite so hard?
Indeed a bit of an experiment, just added in Beta 8, and I'm waiting to see how more players respond to it. Can't do anything without getting more feedback. So far already a few players have been taking on the challenge intentionally and repeatedly--Cogmind honestly doesn't have enough truly hard challenges anymore, and this is one of them. So the fact that people who know about the potential consequences are still out there doing an early DC, for example, is meaningful here.
[spoilers]As you say, though, maybe Zhirov should specifically warn a little more about it now, somehow... Maybe that's the place that can be updated? Although it could still be tough to do so in a logical manner... He doesn't technically know anything about it, at all, so how could he possibly prepare you for the consequences xD[/spoilers]
Regardless, in the end there are definitely going to always be parts of the game which are off limits for certain builds and strategies--this is intentional (well, some people flaunt their skills and overcome these limitations, but they are few and far in between
).
