Back after a 10 month absence. Anybody know when NPC convoys got removed?

You sure it's not a case of having removed them from overview settings? It's impossible to notice them without their icons and brackets and whatnot.

Help, I can't download EVE

There's that one mission where you have to watch a bunch of convoys and kill the hostile one

I kept thinking they were removed as well. Then I realized I spend most of my time in a system with only 1 station...

Years ago i would do L3 missions waiting for convoys to spawn, then kill all of them in the constellation.
Would feed my pos and make some cash, got me up to 800m.
Then the loot was nerfed so hard it became not worth the candle.
Like every other isk fountain i've ever discovered!
Curse you nerf hammer! Curse you to hell!!


Goggles. Making me look good. Making you look good.

Sooo, after all those replies still no definite answer to the OP's question ?

Ugh

Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me to find out CCP has removed that content from the game as well.

100% true and correct.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I decided to spend some time this evening, running from station to station, and am disappointed to say I couldn't find any of the NPC haulers anywhere Sad

Maybe during all the ... development ... someone forgot to throw a switch. Sad

Don't know if it has changed, but NPC convoys used to be the only source of:
'Aoede' Mining Laser Upgrade

Have seen a convoy in past 6 months. Don't usually take note of them though.

I have seen them at stations as recently as this past month. I would check your overviewer settings , or use the "all" tab while camped at a station.

Seeing as the overview had already been suggested as a possible reason for them not being visible, I was careful to make sure mine was correctly configured.

I checked from lowsec Placid in through most of hisec Verge Vendor into Essence, and saw none of the NPC haulers, merchants or traders that were a common sight outside the stations.

I doubt that having checked so many I was repeatedly unlucky enough to catch glimpse of a single one before they'd docked or warped.
