Suggestion: Trinket of Snooping

[Akkamaddi]

This is a suggestion for a CE purchase for an account upgrade, like the "Shady Trinket" and "Trinket of Cheer".

The "Trinket of Snooping" ("Trinket of the Interloper"?) would be a derelict exploration based update. With the update, the actions that normally allow ten attempts (hacking terminals, salvaging structural loot, and combat), will allow an eleventh attempt, and give a permanent +1% exploring bonus (as is granted by tools).

It could even be made into three (Trinkets of Snooping, the Interloper, and Junk Picker), to give a combined total of 13 actions / +3%. I'm not sure if a cumulative set could unbalance things. I think a single token would definitely be an advantage without being overpowered.

The only issue I see here is that many of you will eagerly try to use this object to get in my underwear ....and THAT would be an exploit

Oh Great and Glorious Rexx of the Nimbus Light and Perfectly Spherical Buttocks, a Supplicant seeks to posit two questions in Your Majestic Presence:

Why is your underwear on old derelicts?

How old is this underwear, given you haven't worn any such thing in years?

Thoughts on this guys (and the few ladies we have here)

And to be clear NO I don't mean the part about getting in Rexx's underwear - just to be clear

Despite Rexx's best efforts to put us off the idea , I quite like the idea of a single +1 trinket.

The triplet, like the underwear, I am less sure about wanting to see.

While I'm looking for exploration bonuses I have some doubts. Exploration is already rather lucrative and has many buffs available. Besides the equipment there are the health and energy boosters available at the store which effectively allow you to do more in a shorter time frame. Between raising your max health and energy and increasing the regeneration rate I feel there is already enough available to the general public.

I'd be more inclined to see additional versions of equipment, like suits or armor, or tools that do something similar. A suit that might provide a specific bonus to combat instead of a general "everything" bonus would force people to pick and choose their equipment and would benefit the person that wants to focus on CQC. Tools could do the same thing, I could change out default tool set to add a "Targeting Heads UP Display" to improve AIM or an "Encyclopaedia of Technical Equipment" that improves the chance of finding something.

And most importantly, require an Explorer's League standing requirement (not as high as a Medium Docking collar, but high enough to make someone work for it and appreciate the benefit)

i like Pablem idea.
not done derelict run recently but i think i do find htl per derelict run as i am using best tool available not bad percentage ratio . extra attempt will just mean we be close to get htl for every tool use.

Another option would be a new variety of Stim Pack that also gives you "an edge" while exploring for a certain amount of time.
Maybe two types, one that helps your reflexes and one that helps your concentration.

A "Trinket of Snooping" ought to be associated with some kind of Intel ops, don't you think?
