Has anyone seen these and can provide information on what they are like for stats, for ship types and there numbers, etc?

I've tried locating some last night but do to shortness of time I was unable to locate one. I'm just looking for more information and besides we should have thread to relay useful info about it for the public.

Also, before anyone says move this to "live events", the last post in there as from like a month ago... so no. Not to be cruel but I want this to be posted somewhere where people actually see it, and will respond to it.

Similar to the blood raider event, kill 3 waves of Frigs, then take the acc. gate, kill 3 waves of Cruisers, kill the final Battlecruiser, loot, profit. You get one Quafe zero plus 2 clothes guaranteed, plus optional random stuff. Can be done easily with a T3D.

Sweet thank you. They seem to be appearing less often than the blood raider ones, is that true?

This seems like the case to me as well, though I guess it's too early to tell.

Those BR sites seemed to be everywhere, where as I've seen exactly 1 Frostline Site so far (and that was after me passing through 2 regions chasing escalation sites),

Makes perfect sense considering it's running all month long.

Honestly, is it necessary for you to gather intel beforehand just so you have it easier to run the sites,
because you can't risk not succeeding?

Its common to kill most of the rats, only for another player to ninja the loot.

These aren't like the Crimson Harvest ones. You have to kill every rat before you can get the loot.

I went looking yesterday and of the 4 sites I came across, I ended up running two while waiting for someone to come shoot me. The other two sat for quite a while before anyone completed them.

Currently they seem to spawn at a lower rate than the Crimson Harvest sites and so far don't seem to be quite as popular to run.

Out of 5 sites, I've only had one drop something other than the clothing/quafe, and that was a Synth frentix booster (est price 1m).

If nothing else, those Quafe addicts out there will be getting their fixes a bit cheaper. Silver linings, and all...

Did 30 jumps looking for one.....didnt get one, had two then spawn as I was doing exploration, cleared the rats apart from the last wave, AF comes in, grabs the last rat. and the loot Twisted

That site of course, is bound to have been the one which dropped something apart from the t-shirts and quafe zero.

*Emphasis on random. Like random as in nonexistent... I haven't been able to find a single site all evening either, and it wasn't for lack of trying (probably close to 100 jumps - nadda).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I saw someone say they found 7 in a wormhole in chat.

I'd guess they are very much like the blood ones, where they pop up randomly and collect in dead systems. I saw 3 or 4 yesterday including 1 in jita

I'd try hitting the map and selecting show active pilots in space and heading to the empty systems.

I've not roamed about 5 systems into null and have ran about 8 of them so far. 6 had quafe/clothes standard and 2 had extra female clothes and synth mindflood.

Give Battlecruisers range to fullfil their Anti-Cruiser role - OP SUCCESS

I decide on my final destination, then I open map (bit hard now the map is upside down lol) and plot in a route visiting different systems, normaly covering 2-3 regions - there is alot of back tracking that way, but oh well i have had happen to me when jumping back to system I just came from a site had spawned, so i don't really mind.

On the first night it was a "small" tour of about 80 jumps, found 5 sites 3 of them had ppl running them so left , the last 2 i got beaten to loot SadBig smile

Second night i did a "big" tour of 103 jumps both ways - on the way out I found 4 sites each gave the female and male clothing thingy + 1 quafe Zero booster nothing else. Took pretty much same route back and not a single site. Ohh well why same way back? cause I think it is random how they spawn and I chilled a bit at my "mid point".

So my experience is that they spawn pretty much the like the blood raider sites (blood raiders sites i had to do about 15 jumps to 20 jumps - including back tracking) to find a site. So I guess it depends on your luck :)

Have seen ppl run them in confessors, hecats, worms, sacrilege, gila, vexors, moas, cerberus, so hmmm they are not that difficult, just takes bit longer than the blood raider sites.

I think they are just as popular as the blood raider sites to run, I have only had 1 site were ppl didn't land on site, but fun to see who is best and get loot Big smile
