hi there im doing exploration now since a while and i find that the loot tables for relic sites are quite unbalanced. For example in systems that have angels as rats you barely get anything worthwhile but when you go to systems with sanshas the relic sites can have a worth of 100 million+ each. main reason for this is that Sansha relic sites have intact armor plates and power circuits (T1 variants are decent too!). So why are the loot tables so far between each other in terms of ISK/hour?

Supply and demand, basically. More IAPs are consumed because T2 armor rigs are popular. Blood Raider space is nice for cap consoles for the same reason (lots of T2 CCCs and ACRs sold). Angels are less good because T2 astronautics rigs aren't in high demand.

Don't worry, soon enough Sansha sites will be worth diddly squat aswell. I don't run the sites anymore but still follow the markets. Volume in market goes up and up for Intact Armor Plates. I guess because it's the last item worth _something_ so will be farmed to death aswell within next couple weeks. And when people realise that CCP has abandoned development of Odyssey exploration we will see some panic sells from people who have hoarded over the last two months in the false hope that some changes would come with the point release.

Ya I used to advocate that the exploration value was just fine, but since the value for everything will not stop plummeting i've given up running them. I make more doing boring old ratting then risking my exploration ship flying far out to find some tasty loot.

Only exception is finding WH's to sansha space to explore. Outside that every region is crap.

I have noticed a slight volume decrease in t2 loot, though it might just be what i've been coming across, has anyone else noticed this?

Should probably check in and see if theirs a significant yield for actually building the rigs with the t2 loot
