Guristas Sanctums appear unchanged, what about others?

The patch notes for Odyssey stated:

Quote:
Some Elite Frigates have been removed from Sanctums and replaced by NPC Battlecruisers to increase the isk gain and reduce the time they take to complete for battleships.


In anticipation of this change, I logged a number of sanctums to get a general idea of spawn composition.

Pre patch, the ring type sanctums generally contained an average 7 Elite Frigates and 7 Battlecruisers.
The station type sanctum contained on average of 15 Elite Frigates, and 10 battlecruisers,

Post patch, I've ran one of each type so far, and there was no meaningful delta between the pre-patch composition of Elite Frigates and Battlecruisers. I neglected to capture the specific composition of the Ring sanctum, but the station type sanctum I ran contained 9 battlecruisers (below the pre-patch average), and 15 Elite Frigates. Once I feel confident the server isn't going to dump me out randomly I'm hoping to capture more data, but at first glance it appears that there was actually no change made to the Guristas Sanctum sites.

I am curious if this suspected issue of the spawns being unchanged extends beyond the Guristas sites and into the other pirate factions. If people running Blood, Angel, or Serpentis sanctums could take inventory of what it is they are getting for spawns, I'd be interested to hear.

Havens haven't been change either....

And for forsaken hubs they just added frigs to 4th wave instead of the BC and the 6th wave instead of just BS they added frigs as well....overall not to bad

To be fair, they never claimed havens were going to be changed as far as I am aware. Not that I don't think they could be tweaked (gas cloud havens I'm looking at you!), but the patch notes only specifically claim changes to the sanctums.

So if theres not a noticeable (big) change to isk gain in sanctums and you fly a ship that doesnt have problems with frigates like the ishtar, garde II's blap them before they can get close if you warp in at 30, you may as well stick to forsaken hubs?

I did a Forsaken Hub last night..i don't remember 100% of the ships, but it's something like this:

Wave 1
3-4x BS
3-4x Cruisers

Wave 2
3-4x BS
3-4x Cruisers

Wave 3
3-4x BS
3-4x Elite Cruisers

Wave 4
3-4x BS
3-4x Frigs

Wave 5
3-4x BS
3-4x Elite Cruisers

Wave 6
3-4x BS
3-4x Frigs
0-1x Faction BS

The one FH I did netted about 28.5 mil in bounties and I completed them in the same amount of time as the old one....even faster to be honest. Frigs and regular cruisers pop just as fast/faster than the BC's did. I'm also not 100% of the order of the waves lol
