A few questions on plexes

There are probably other threads like this one, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere... So I'll just try asking all my questions in one thread.

1: Is there a fixed Respawn-Timer on DED-plexes?

2: If yes to 1, does anyone know how long it takes for a Serpentis Drug Outlet to respawn the building dropping Deadspace-modules.

3: Do scanned down Deadspace-plexes (Unknown-sites) also drop Deadspace-modules? I've only seen them drop Faction Modules, so I'm just curious.

4: Is it worth the bother to just camp in the final pocket in a Serpentis Drug Outlet?

Thanks for the answers in advance...

I'm not a bot. I don't even respect bots, so being a bot myself would be hypocritical... But thanks for the answers anyway.

Regarding 3 - there is two types of scanned unknown plexes. DED rated sites drop OPE and deadspace loot from target in last pocket. Expedition plexes can trigger expedition chain and/or spawn faction rat which drop faction loot. Final stage of expedition can drop both faction and deadspace loot. All loot is chance based. Only guaranteed thing is OPE from DED plexes.

1,2 and 4 only concerns static plexes - as mentioned before they are probably better left to bots, or ppl who behave like one.

There are bots that camp the last pocket in DED 2 complex's. Normally they fit a cloak fly out of range of rats cloak slow boat back in at a given speed then when faction spawns they will decloak pop it scoop fly back and repeat. You can catch them if you fly into pocket in a cloaky frig yourself and wait for them to decloak to scoops the loots. You then get 10 faction drops yourself :)

Here's your answer. To clarify, DED sites require scan probes -- they are not the same as the things that just appear on system scan automagically. The unknowns referred to above are the same way.

If you just want to warp to sites that appear on system scan, they can have a faction ship that will drop faction loot. They can also (very rarely) escalate, which will give a chance at deadspace loot.
