Data Sheets no longer spawning?

With the loot spew mechanics removed and the loot tables changed accordingly in Kronos, do data sheets drop any more?

Needing them for copying Large blueprints, they've suddenly become hot property and don't seem to be dropping any more. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this an oversight?

Thanks. Disappointing given I'm in Null Sec and don't want to make the trip when there are plenty of data sites that no longer give me the ones I need...

Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems like the NPCs sell a set of 32 at a time and after 1-2 sets the price automatically increases at that station. There are players that will buy them long term at the bottom price then sell a much larger stack at a tiny markup. Finding such a stack is crucial to avoiding the hassle of docking at 10+ stations to stock up for rig invention.

Consider yourself corrected. Some NPCs sell them in blocks of like 30k, and the price increase is negligible.

As for the OP, the time it would take to get even a barely reasonable number of datasheets through explorations sites is insane. Did you really pass up loot that was potentially worth stuff to gather up what was being dropped as junk look? Just pay the <5 mil per 30k units a few times over and have it shipped out to null. You could even slap a few hundred k units on the market at a decent markup and make a chunk back from other people.
