So, I've run 7 of these recently, and every time all I get is the overseers effects, and if I'm 'lucky' a piece of meta 4 loot.

Has something crapped out? or is "random is random" just being a ***** to me? Sad

They have a pretty bad drop rate. The 7/10 and (6/10 even) give better payour per complex.

Probably a bad time to mention the Vindicator BPC I got from an serp 8/10 2 days ago while ninja'ing in fountain......

Has anyone seen any Core B-type stuff from this since patch? because I'm wondering if the Vindicator BPC is the only thing dropping, and it's very rare...

Yep, 2 core B-type 100mn MWDs (1 eqach for 2 seperate 8/10s) and an explosive hardener, all last week and all from plexes i ninja'd in npc fountain (for some reason people seem to not scan npc space for plexes). All in all for the week I did about 7 8/10s.

Thanks for the reply, good to know it is still (occasionally) dropping.

Currently chatting to some fine upstanding chaps in Cloud ring (who beat me to the site) about their drop - they too had nothing but overseers effects.

And my friend, people do scan NPC space, lots... Blink

I once did 7 6/10s with only overseers. On the 8th, I got a 2b drop. So random is very random

I've gotten Vindi BPCs in back to back runs before and then gone well over a dozen sites without one so sometimes you get lucky and lots of time you don't

Some friends of mine and me did a bunch of 0.0 DED sites in angel space. The drop was not good, most of the time only overseeers.

But lowsec is fantastic. 40 minutes and BAEM 1.2B loot.

Well I think 'random' has taken a massive dislike to me; site #10 finally dropped a Core B item (armour hardener) while site #11 dropped just OPE's. Random then decided the 10/10 I ran would also drop only OPE's.

Ah well, at least I've seen something out of the last 12 sites, maybe #13 will be 'lucky'....

you're looking at it the wrong way, as I used to.

There are not streaks good or bad. The 50 plexes you do before you get something has nothing to do with the 1 that drops something. The idea of a "Streak of luck" is simply in our imagination. Likewise, the "omg exploration sites are broken, CCP fix" threads are based on the false belief in "luck". That's why I love to advertise my plex takings in threads that proclaim that something must be broken lol.

I know a guy who has NEVER gotten an anomaly to escalate. I know another person who it seems pulls pithum A type invuls out of thin air every time he does a 6/10 in guristas space lol.
