On today's marathon exploration session I only came across 2 relic sites, and they didn't yield much besides salvage (keep in mind this was in nullsec and what I got wouldn't even pay for a T1 cruiser hull) I wouldn't mind the low yield if they spawned more frequently, especially since hacking is actually pretty fun. Unfortunately, all I usually find are wormholes or combat sites.

The first person ever who said that hacking is fun?

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Someone else is clearing them out before you get there. In general these sites re-spawn within an hour or two of completion but they re-spawn randomly, meaning frequently trafficked areas are likely to be cleaned out while areas that are off the beaten path can accrue large numbers of such sites.

Also keep in mind that the more common the sites are the lower the overall value of the stuff collected from them due to increased supply.

OP which security level was the space you were working in and do you understand the mechanics for how sites spawn?

In a semi-related note can we have data/relic site upgrades not be tied to the industry index please?
The wormhole spawn upgrades to my knowledge is stand alone, could the data/relic be as well. Right now if you wanted to have level five upgrades for these sites you would need to have a permanent mining force in the system, keeping the index up.

security 0.0 and even in systems with no space stations or other ships I mainly found 2 signatures, and rarely was either one a hacking site.

Does the fact that it's npc nullsec change anything?
