I'm curious if any low level people  (29 or lower) are having luck getting spawns when data mining.

I have spent about 2 hours and nothing.

Is it just there to be annoying while you're tapping nodes? To have the potential to ruin gatherings?

It needs to drop something, or go away.
Yeah, others have killed them too and say there is no Data Cluster that appears after killing it (you do get the corrupted code from the corpse though). So either they're there as an annoyance or they're bugged.

With a lvl 28 char, I got one spawn that consisted of an initial wave of maybe 5 Data Simulacra at lvl 26 1 chev, second wave was lvl 27 two chev, third wave lvl 28 3 chev.  I don't think I completed the encounter, just as I landed the killing blow on the second to last npc in the third wave, the final one vanished and there was no data container.  Guessing I took too long.

This was near the Park East/Maribeau border in DT using a 2.0 siphon.

Killing a normal Bathary Corruptor doesn't stop the Corrupted from that Corruptor from spawning, they keep going till the normal despawn timer is up.  Mabey that has something to do with the Clusterless Data Corruptor kill, mabey you have to wait for the normal despawn timer to go for it to regester as a kill... although, I am no expert, when the admins and Devs start talking again, mabey we can get a definitive answer SMILEY

How long did it take you to get that one spawn. I was thinking of doing this to get an xp booster then mission but it's turning out for me to be a waste of time. With my 50 i get the boosters alot.

That spawn I was mining maybe an hour. 

Just a few mins ago I got another spawn, 3 Hellion scum lvl 28, one chev for first wave, 3 hellion braggart lvl 28, 2 chev second wave, as I was fighting the last one in the second wave he disappeared.  The dead had some info and hacker subs. 

This happened in Chelsea.  I mined in the same park east\maribeau\Vauxton area for maybe an hour.  The Park East and Vauxton nodes had high failure rates for the tap.  The Chelsea nodes seemed to have a better return, this encounter started maybe 20 minutes after I got there, I tapped a bunch in the streets, this happened on the second node I tapped inside a building.

I'm going to code the proxy tree now.  The dataminer\cut throat hybrid isn't working out with the timer.  I'm hoping with a proxy\dataminer load the two of us killing the npcs will speed things up.

It takes time for them to spawn, but you gotta be ready, heh, yesterday I farmed in the white hall ways and was with a friend, about 5 or 6 1 to 3 chevron Blood Drunk level 50's spawned on us, it was a lag nightmare.

Could someone post the buffs and visual effect (if any) of the Optimization luggable (and it's full name if this isn't). I'm making a table showing all the luggables in-game with their buffs and effects and the only one I don't know is this one.

Thank you KevinX, I was beginning to wonder if it even existed as I couldn't get it. You don't have to post a picture of the visual effect, a description will do just fine.

 You might want to update the N30 AG3NTS part in the first post. Ever since the last Update, they arrive in four waves.

 1º Wave: Three ( Player level + 3 )

  2º Wave: Three ( Player level + 2 )

 3º Wave: Three ( Player level +1 )

 4º Wave: Three ( Player level + 4 )

 Note: The waves have a very small time spawn ... like less than 10 seconds, I think.
