If you guys made them spawn randomly.
It kinda sucks large round things when people on the west coast of the US or even farther out timezone wise log on to play the game and all the sites have been run already.

I'm not waking up at 4am just to play the game...That's a bit silly.

Anyone think this will this ever happen?? I mean NPC rats spawn in belts and such randomly...It only makes sense...

you know...now that just anyone can go run a site after the patch...there's really nothing left by mid day.
i think if probing is going to be so easy now that even a noob can do it, the sites should at least spawn randomly throughout the day...

When they are completed they spawn somewhere else I believe. You just have to look in less populated space.

My primetime is actually around downtime (it's 3am at the moment). Sites do not spawn at downtime, they appear at all times of the day. If you're having trouble finding sites the area of space you explore in may have too many other explorers?

maybe... i don't know. is there any official notes on this? as to how often they spawn? i've just honestly never seen it and i've ran quite a few. before they disappeared i used to get to them and they'd be empty even.

Anomalies and Cosmic Signatures do spawn randomly throughout the day. I've seen 14 spawn so far in the system that I mine in, and the day isn't even halfway over.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

When a signature is completed by any means and it despawns because of that, a new one will spawn somewhere. Exact details of that are rather vague though and there are lots of people who believe it's spawning in the same constellation, others thing it spawns in the same region and of course the third group that believes they just spawn somewhere. That said, the only thing that is actually verifiable is that they do indeed spawn throughout the day.

This.

When a site is cleared, it spawns im another system somewhere. Throughout the day, everyday.

It's really good when you get a system untouched by anyone. You can make a tonne of ISK Big smile

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

Anoms are not like static sites, "anoms" will respawn after completed at random systems in same constellations, timer for those I can't put the finger on but think it's something about 30min too.
Knowing anoms don't spawn at all systems in same constellation you have to keep searching all the time, the empty system you visited a few minutes ago might as well get one or more of those the minute you're jumping to another system, or maybe none for hours.

You never know when or where, that's what exploration is about, explore Lol

Yes. My first impression too is that there is much more site turnover, making finding sites harder.

I think it has more to do with it being the big new thing in Odyssey. In a few weeks, there will be less fighting over it as people drift back to their usual endeavors.

Yea, that could be...
Good to know people see them spawning throughout the day. I've never seen it - or maybe I did, but figured no one ran it yet and I was lucky.

Good to know. Thanks guys.
