The only use I see in data posts is guiding the way...no matter if I activate them or not, it doesn't seem to have an influence on the game...in Colonies, mission 2 I even thought they already were activated BEFORE I started to activate them.

Somewhere I read that data posts are a source of thermal energy, but how do I access the energy?

 

Thanks for help!

 

When you activate a Data post, it automatically gives you Thermal Energy. So the Data post gives away enemy locations, thermal energy; and in multiplayer points added to your team's battle gauge.
