Might it be CCP doesn't know, thats why its so secret. I have heard that a portion of the code for the game was written by people no longer employed by CCP. These people neglected to put comments in the source code.

It could also be that the devs don't want to give the botters any under the hood details about asteroid respawns that they might use to their advantage.

I'm not saying the OP is a botter, but there is no doubt that botters read these forums just like everyone else can.

It could also be just a general CCP policy not to talk about the code on that deep of a level. I bet you if you asked them about the spawn rate/pattern of scannable sites, they'd give you the same response.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

7-9 years ago people believed that the roids would grow in amounts every day as long as they was 1 left in them, and when they was poped they was a limited amount of roids the belt could suppot with which one re-spawned been random (to the level which the system supported)

The chances are No one knows how the roid respawns anymore and the code is even more of a mess than the crime system
