Each time I check out a cosmic anomaly, there's just structures and no rats - what's going on? Don't they despawn once a player has completed them, like rated and unrated sites?

what anoms are you trying to do? Some mag and radar sites do not have rats spawn until you start trying to hack a can or something.

I've never really bothered with them before, but these ones look interesting - Blood Den.

should be rats in there, have an overview tab with wreaks visible so u can see if someone else has already done the site, once completed they de-spawn after a small amount of time, but not straight away.

Blood dens are anomalies, mag and radar sites are signatures. you have to scan down signatures. As far as anomalies go, they do despawn after completion, either your overview is screwed and there really were rats there or you hit a bugged one.

I've found several of these Blood Dens and they were all empty. Perhaps I'm unlucky and keep just getting there after someone's cleared them out but before they vanish.

If they spent enough time to loot and salvage everything then the anomaly tag should have disappeared. Strange, but to be honest I fly in 0.0 blood space and rarely see anything below a blood hub so I'm not up to date on any possible bugs for lower sites...

I don't think anomalies spawn down right away.

My guess is that you were unintentionally following someone else and that person before you did loot and salvaged all the wrecks.

I did 4 or 5 anomalies earlier today, refuges and hideaways, had rats in all of them.

I have never seen a blood den with any rats or guns. I think they are bugged. All other dens spawn normally.

Blood dens are bugged. They've been that way for years.

@OP: Check Overview Settings then Petition/Bug Report. Anomalies should despawn pretty quickly once they're cleared unless someone's hanging around uncloaked on grid.

I can recommend this for avoiding the smellier sites.

Den's in my exploration experience have been empty in Caldari space too but also sometimes give me juicy 5/10 escalations when I find ships in them.

I tried some Guristas ones and they are all ok - it's just Blood Dens which are bugged I think.

-edit-
I've never had anything interesting drop from them, though, even when a faction rat does spawn.

A properly working anom despawns 1-2 mins after the last ship warps out of it after it has been completed. Such things do break alot though. Valuable ones get sorted by people petitioning them, but probably nobody bothers for blood dens.
