" Completely incorrect; after longer tests:
 * If the Excavator is destroyed before it recovers an item, the mission is a failure.
 * Needs further details . At least 2 excavators have been reported to die without causing mission failure."

Excavator MAY be destroyed, will provide as many points as many seconds passed since installation;

Excavator destroyed amount is irrelevant; will work with 1 destroyed, as much as with 10+.

bonus points : 1% of energy is enough to operate for 1 full second, for any given structure.

Level of enemies, as of now [Operation itself] DOES NOT change with planet, nor does amount of points. At both cases it's same level of enemies progression and 100 points per full reactor. [50 units of new resource as well]

It takes exactly 2 and half power cell to fill out completely excavator; each power cell gives 20%, each excavator starts at 50%;

It takes 1 and 1/4th power cell to scan new excavation site.

With full power [5 power cells] it is enough to scan for 4 different sites;

you cannot fill scanner if it is not operating

As of hotfix 1 [not tested after next hotfix] - enemies were dependent on extractor amount OR points, NOT on time [needs further confirmation].
