There should be a hacking skill, like in EVE, and instead of a 5% increase in chance of data retrieval, it should give you a 5% bonus to hacking speed, maybe have an advanced hacking skill too that adds 3% or 2% speed with the prerequisite of Hacking V.

a bit OP. if anything allow the use of equipment that boost this.

Item: Battlenet Hacker

Buff 3~ boost to hacking speed.

Takes a **** ton of CPU that only a logistic dropsuit can equip.

or any other drop suit can equip it, it just means you can only equip less stuff due to CPU and a Mid (or the nano?) slot.

This way, you have to give something up in order to cap objectives and hijack rides faster. Without some kind of penalty everyone would want to equip it or train up. on top of that, the skill/equipment needs to be in the spirit of eve.

Or give it a secondary use that increases the time it takes for an enemy to hack our stuff (non-stackable with other hacker units/modules)

Could also have another sub skiil called Hijack which is where you hack vehicles faster. Just pitching ideas for the moment, not sure if that one would work all that well.

Or how about being able to go through the same process as hacking an enemy installation on your own installations, but since it is already yours instead of "hacking" it's "encrypting" and after you encrypt it takes the enemy extra time to hack it.
