Was there even a buff to data sites, their still a waste of time doing, the drops are garbage. Is there any use for them?

Yeah, the hidden sigs provide nice pockets to hide from your mom when she gets hungry.

Zing.

The hair on my balls has grown substantially since I started eating Paleo to the point where I have trouble fitting it into my underwear, I'm talking yards of hair, it is ridiculous. Sometimes it peeks out of the bottom of my pants and people stare at it and I just say "Sorry I have a very hairy scrotum."

I was heavily into farming hacking sites before. Now I don't even bother, don't even fit a hacking module to my covops.

The loot spew mechanic is just plain stupid and the prices have tanked to the point where it's better to look elsewhere for isk.

Funny how the expansion that was supposed to revitalize the profession completely ruined it for me.

Wait in site cloaked for an ignoramus such as yourself to roll in, then pop them = Tears and the occasional sisters probe launcher drop.

Edit: Just looked at your KB, it looks like it may have happened to you! Did you give them tears or just the launcher?

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

Why would I shed tears for 100mil? When I've made 2billion in the last three days, that was a fluke(notice my lack of cheetah losses), I'd be mad if I lost the 2-3 bill in implants and hardware in my head, but then Agian, I'm making more isk than I can spend.

I'm flattered you're following my kill board, you should look deeper into it and admire it further
You should visit pure blind some time, but that would involve you not hiding behind an alt

Agreed, but relic sites are still profitble(even tho the return was nerf from pre ODS)

I think that the expansion really did revitalize the profession.

From a quite obscure one with relatively few pilots actually doing it to a currently active profession with (at least for the moment) quite a lot of pilots doing it.

This larger group of active explorers has led to a significant increase in loot retrieval while the usage of said loot has only started to increase slightly.

Which by basic rule of supply and demand has lead to a drop in value of the individual pieces of loot.

But there's nothing that says that the levels will remain as they are now. Many of the 'new' explorer might get bored as time goes on and they start to realize that the payment is that great.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

You're doing it wrong.

Probe get the good can and wait, when "the thing" uncloaks bump it and kill it.


Don't even thank me for learning you basics on how not be an idiot.

On the subject of baiting;

Due to the removal of rats in exploration sites nobody but the most dense of characters is now bringing anything bigger than a frig to run them.

This also means that the kills aren't likely as juicy anymore Ugh

The effectiveness of this approach is reduced by the fact that the site now de-spawn with a timer after the first can is looted.

Tiny chance of getting faction and rig bpc...

exactly this.

now the only thing i need regarding the exploration, is that when you turn off sensor overlay, it really doesn't show at all.

i used to spend hours / day exploring, runing sites, and i did for years. Since odyssey, not anymore, a few the first days, then found other things to do, things that are actually interesting

I'm now struggling to find interesting stuff to do, maybe I should dedicate the next month to losing ships in WHs to see what they're like.

Fitting post

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships
