I wonder if I am the only one that is noticing that some extractors first tell me they are gonna extract 60k each hour and then when submit
they tell me they extract 4-5k each 15 minutes
if I click on survey they give 16-17k... / hour
when I stop it again it shows 60k again
submit
and it gives me again 5-6 times lower amounts.

Basically, the number you get before you submit your extractor changes is the system's estimate of what you'll get. Don't ever, ever, ever believe it, because it pretty much always differs from the amount you get after you submit, and usually by a lot.

Mind you, in some cases the true number can actually be higher than the estimate - it seems to represent the system's attempt to 'average' what it expects you to be able to achieve, without taking into account depletion, recovery from depletion, or other players' networks. The only real cure for the problem you describe is to find someplace else to put your extractors for awhile, to give the area time to build back up again.

Better scanning skills reduces the variation.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
