EVE Information Portal

Could we please have each and every hackable container spawn something, even if it just a single piece of metal scraps?

I hate having to open, close and open again a container to double check if the server is lagging or the container really is empty.

CCP, you are such a tease.
Lower the towel a bit more so I can see the new modules!

Very nice! Hope this applies to all those info windows that pop up when you're traveling.

Nanana, dear CCP, i've got your numbers there, you just want to keep your customers extending their subscriptions. It's way to obvious by now. All these nice changes, improved and new features. I ve got your numbers a while ago on this.

Naaaaiiiice :)

Ok, no one else has commented on this, so I might be off base. I haven't found a lot of exploration sites, but does it makes sense to despawn a site minutes after it is completed? How many minutes? What f the completion trigger is hit, and you no longer have time to run to a station, swap into your trusty Noctis, and return to salvage/grab loot? Is that at risk here? If it is, then I'd suggest a 30 minute despawn timer. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Praise Gaia, they've fixed the mag site BPC issue. I'd asked about that issue ages ago. I'd been thinking the drop rates should be 50/35/15% for small/medium/large rigs. Is that what you went with?

Meanwhile, I've got a five second fix you could have done just in time for this update that will make life MUCH easier for explorers:

RADAR SITES

Right now, the components for making data interfaces are listed as 1.0 m3 in volume. But when you build an actual interface, that is ALSO 1.0 m3 in volume. Either the manufacturing process is REALLY good at compression, or there's one hell of a lot of wasted packaging on those parts. And schlepping those parts around when running a site is a pain in the patootie.

Please make the volume of the parts 0.01 m3, and you will instantly make the sites that much easier.

Now if you want to make those sites even more valuable, a non-five second fix is this:

Make data interfaces consumables. 5/10/15 percent when used for small/medium/large tasks. Same amounts as R.A.M. is used in manufacturing T2. And increase the drop rate of parts & BPCs to keep the demand from spiking too high. Double or triple what it is now. It won't be a problem if you make the volumetric change suggested above.

The site despawning doesn't actually despawn the wrecks. Wrecks stay in space 2 hours, I believe.

I approve.

It might not show up even on the second try... afaik it's all % based. Last time I had someone confirm this they got impatient and didn't recheck every last container more than once, but did get at least one container to drop loot that hadn't before.

Generally speaking, the no-show mechanic is completely inconsistent with how other stuff works in EVE, and hardly anyone seems to know it even exists.
