So, I am in a -1.0 system and did 32 Havens yesterday

Our system is fully upgraded, and not one faction spawn from the Havens (blood raiders)
This is has been an ongoing issue, I did not start keeping record until yesterday but will continue untill I have done a very large amount of them (around 300) to see what the chances of them spawning are.



I used to rat in sansha territory in a -.6 system doing havens and on average seemed to get a faction spawn one ever 7 or so havens.


SO in summary could a dev please check the spawn rates of faction npcs in Havens (in systems with sec status of -1.0) fully upgraded it seems broke to me. (I understand the RNG gods may not be on my side, but I sincerely believe something is wrong with the spawns)

Last time i kept track, one out of 20 anoms had a faction spawn, one out of five faction spawn had real loot and one out of 150 escalated. So i would say its all normal. One out of six is wayy to much, imo, you were just being lucky.

I applaud your effort to document the spawn rates. Despite taking plenty of time, 36 isn't quite enough to justify raising an eyebrow. Furthermore, CCP has a policy about being tight lipped about these things. I will certainly be interested in seeing your results.

Random is random.

I could have one red marble in a bag with 20 white marbles... you know the rest.

You're wrong. I've had 6 or 7 Dark Blood Battleships from havens (both "cloud" and "pirate gate" versions) in the last 2 weeks.

What I haven't had is an escalation. A corp mate of mine over the same basic period got 3 escalations to Blood Raider Naval Ship Yard, but no faction ship spawns. I know this because I provide the logistic support to him when he does the 10/10 site.

You're simply experiencing a string of bad luck. I have had weeks without escalations or faction spawns, only to then get multiple occurrences of both in one day later on.
