Went for a very long tour of the eastern half of the universe (e.g., rogue drones) just to see what populated those regions. I noticed that there were a lot of combat sites and almost no data sites, and zero archaeology sites. Unclear if gas sites exist in drone regions as well.

Aside from the sov upgrade perk, is there anything about the location that explains the distribution I saw?

Relic and Data sites can be easily completed quickly whereas the Combat sites take more time and usually don't reward as much for the time and risk that's invested to do them.

Just my opinion but that might explain the lack of active Hacking sites.

I tried looking for data/relic sites in a drone region once. Many jumps and I found exactly zero data sites, zero relic sites, and tons of combat sites. As far as I am concerned drone space is the worst exploration space unless your looking to do drone combat sites then it is perfect.

There are no relics in drone regions. Combat and data sites only. There is a possibilty of good BPC drop from data but loot fairy is capricious mistress.

I'm of the opinion that anoms are borked... I find it difficult to believe CCP would intentionally screw this popular part of their game (anoms and the "reward" for completion). Used to love doing anoms, but the drops are pathetic and I haven't seen a commander in months. And no, personally my luck isn't that bad, so inb4 "random is random".

I agree.

I blame it on Soundwave & Co.

So obviously, if the Drone regions have a specific quality to them which leads to n'er an archaeology site spawning, the other regions might have their own characteristics, too.

do they? Anywhere documented?
