Missions & Complexes

What would you say the chance are for bpc's?

I've only found 2 sites, one in low-sec and one in null-sec, the low-sec one had 2 implant bpc's and the null sites had 2 (maybe 3) implant bpc's and a structure bpc.

If this is the norm it's not going to take long for the market to get flooded, and the loot worthless.

Yes. Quite 'Exploration' ...

As an avid exploration person, I would say its VERY exploration. Just a completely new kind, with its own meta.

Exploration isn't probing. Exploration is traveling to faraway or dangerous places, requires the use specialized and sometimes expensive ships, the rewards can be hit or miss. Often you have long stretches of boredom interrupted by frenetic activity. Hunting for ghost sites is all of these things. If you're not specifically hunting for them, then you can still encounter them, kind of like having that 4/10 or 6/10 or 10/10 spawn in your home system, which is also still "exploration."



You didn't. You got in early and made the maximum isk for being early. These things are/were guaranteed to drop in price, and are now at 150m in Jita. I'm also pretty impressed, I sold one of the first ones for 290m and I think I did rather well, particularly as the manufacturing cost is trivial (unlike those damn implants, which cost me about 300m each in materials alone on day1).

Additionally the covert research tools will provide guaranteed isk even if wetu and some implant prices crash. I'm sitting on about 500 right now so I'm happy about that.

The high meta depots are harder to scan if you choose to not travel with it.

I think it is important that the dev blog specifically points out that this is NOT exploration content. I say this because the current dedicated exploration content is very thin. My worry is if Ghosts sites are adopted as exploration content then the priority given to exploration will drop.

I would really like additional sites tailored to probing. CCP Affinity stated that they were (finished?) working on tools to help create additional content therefore it is my hope that they will be able to easily/rapidly create additional dedicate exploration content.

Ive run two in high sec. In both cases the spawn happened while I was doing the first hack, in less than 2 minutes after arriving at the site. In both cases I just barely got the loot out before all the cans exploded. In the first site the NPCs and the explosion took my frigate. In the second my highly tanked cruiser just barely survived.

Edit: In both cases all the cans had their rings still spinning, so I'm fairly sure I was the first one to them.

Timer starts on warp-in to the site. I don't know about other people, but I have warped into sites, scanned the cans, and left without bothering for lack of blueprints.

That's correct.

So you think the increase in the decryptor supply was some kind of accident or oversight?

That's... lol.

That was on purpose, dude. It's supposed to be that way.

they just never fixed it

Now if they'd only make Data Interfaces a limited number of uses like R.A.M. there'd actually be a market for the other 75% of the stuff in data sites.
