Creation
Ancient comms console are ruins added by the Ideology DLC. Despite the description, it can be used to summon enemies or supply drops at ancient complexes at which point it stops working.
Summary[edit]
The ancient comms console can be hacked to trick an ancient supply satellite to deliver cargo pods. This only takes 4 hacking progress units, i.e. 200 ticks (3.33 secs) at 100% hacking speed. However the signal has a 50% chance to be detected by hostile factions and cause an enemy attack.
The drop pods arrive within 180 ticks (3 secs). If there is a raid, it happens 300 ticks (5 secs) to 600 ticks (10 secs) later.
The ancient comms console can only be hacked once.
