Is the best race to choose
Zolazin Hacker
OR
Zolazin Explorer
OR
Zolazin Spy

No intention of doing so, just wondering.

Zolazin, Sab out of those I would say Explorer because you can scan planets as well as prevent hacks

I don't remember what the spy profession does, but I would say Zolazin Hacker because it gives direct hacking potential

if you're going for the best hacking abilities, it would be zolazin hacker...

you get a 40% boost to your cloak for being zolazin
and
you get an additional 30% boost to your hacking (probably calculated as a 30% increase to the cloak+scan when comparing against the opponents cloak+scan)

I think Zolazin Hacker is better too. The 30% bonus of hack is featured more than scan and cloak bonuses. Plus the racial bonus, so that's probably the best.

How do you know that 30% increase isn't for both?

not that i doubt you, but can you link the source of this info? i must be overlooking that post

well here's a thankyou for your time spent looking...

Everytime i see "Vygoid Genome" this clip comes to mind... (not tryin to poke fun, hope it makes ya smile!)

Switching to Genetarr's and Zolazin's is quite useful for Non- CC-ers, saves your Glaviz Device, if you wanted to go on a scanning spree, switch to Zolazin Explorer or Genetarr Explorer like i intended to. Gets you your massive 30%+ scan power.

I'd say Zolazin Spy.

*Keeps you off of the battle tab.
*Cloaking is the prequisite to the hack.
*Helps prevent people hacking you.
*Increases crit chance.
*Multiplied by Zolazin Bonus.

As far as I know, the hacker only effects the roll itself - not whether or not you can hack. Both spy and explorer give 20% boosts, but the Spy is multiplied by the Zolazin bonus.

as a zolazin spy i have to say that it would probably be the best race/profession for a hacker, IRL a hacker doesnt want to be seen, the extra 20% cloak does that for you totally, since i changed my race i get attacked by three people, whenever i am disabled it is always the same three people, they are over 100 lvls above me and have better tech/size, ive accepted that and learned to just take my punches like everyone else but, with that extra 20% i can get over 2-400 research every hack, i would like to get information on hacking with a zolazin hacker to see which is better, but i think that if i were to switch to the hacker you would get hit a lot more than with a spy. so, theres my two cents. zolazin spy all the way.
