Missions & Complexes

Not a problem for someone that goes there and wants to run some sites.

The location where I used to farm dens has a tendency to do that.

They do naturally die and go back to more populated areas themselves given time.

And how would you blitz them?, don't escalations and faction spawns happen after you killed the last wave?

That's one of the 'Shangri-La Systems' for exploration sites. These 'Motherload Systems' are fail-safe locations for continued exploration, to be used when regular systems are empty due to the excessive amount of 'Blitzkrieg' exploration active in this game.

In the days of old, these 'El Dorado Systems' were kept secret and known only by a small percentage of players. There's only a few of these 'Motherload Systems' around, rich with sites like that waiting for players smart enough to find and harvest them, not post about it in the forums and cry to CCP about it.

Now that you've foolishly plastered the system name all over these forums, that 'Exploration Oasis' will soon dry up due to being swamped by ravenous 'Bonzai Explorers'. Good job, you can now kiss that 'Motherload System' good-bye.

By the way, exploration sites have a life span of a few days up to a week, after that they de-spawn naturally and re-spawn elsewhere. From now on please don't post about it here in the forums, do a little research first and then communicate your concerns with CCP via support ticket (petition) and or bug report.

its always like that on that high sec const...

I should know I spent two years on it.

Ah yes I stayed there a bit.

Can't even count the number I ran in a week no escalations just a waste of time.

No more hisec anoms for me.

not always, some sites you can have tags that can let you skip entire rooms. and for a lot of sites you can often skip many rats and just go for the trigger and faction spawns. always have to kill a few rats but not really all of them

This isn't the case at all. This is not how site spawning works. The simple fact is that high sec anomalies are not worth running (for reasons someone mentioned in a previous post). Thus, sites will eventually stockpile in rarely trafficked systems. They will only start to despawn when their 3 day timer has been triggered or when they are run to completion. Otherwise, they will stay there, indefinitely. This system is part of a high sec pocket in Amarr space (the biggest of space), with avenues leading to Providence (lol), Bleak Lands (does anyone live there?), and low sec Heimatar. I'm not surprised sites have stacked up here.

Wormhole systems are notorious for this as well. If a system goes for extended periods without people finding wormholes to it, sites will start to stack up until someone finds the stockpile, and starts triggering the sites.



The life span is endless if the site timer is never triggered. If it is triggered (warp initiation to site), a 3 day timer will start. If the site is not completed in this time, the site will despawn on the downtime following the 3rd day.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Having said that, I'll also say I disagree with what you wrote.

Exploration sites do not have an endless lifespan and their despawn timer doesn't need to be triggered, it's automatic. Also different types of sites have different despawn timers, anywhere from 3 to 5 days. If not then eventually there wouldn't be any more exploration sites spawning anywhere.

I've been in systems like that in the past. I usually would stay a couple of weeks in those systems with a few GSC's anchored. I'd scan and bookmark / check everything each day, then start running the sites. While doing that, some of the sites would despawn naturally before I warped to them. Other sites such as Grav and Ladar would stay active up to 5 days.

As for Anomalies not being worth the trouble, a lot of them have a chance to spawn Commander NPC's as well as escalate to DED sites. Granted from my experience the average is about 1 out of 10. However, since there's no travel / down time involved to find them and they're all located in one system, running them is worth the trouble.

But hey, that's my opinion just like you have your opinion.

Yeah, I think it depends on the type of anomaly and maybe even the Faction.

I've ran the other Pirate Faction Anomalies in high sec but most of my experience is with the Angel Cartel, specifically the Angel Hideaway and Angel Burrow Anomalies since they can be completed rather quickly.

And yes, from my experience the average for those sites is about 1 out of 10 will spawn a Commander NPC - Frigate class. Angel Refuge Anomaly will spawn a Cruiser Class Commander but I haven't run enough of them to get a good idea of the spawn rate.

Also I've never gotten an escalation from those sites which might explain the higher percentage of Commander spawns, especially since I've gained escalation from the various other Pirate Faction Anomalies in the past.
