I would say the rewards are much higher as well, simply because any combat site you find has a high potential reward. In hisec, you're basically only searching for watches and 4/10's. IMO the signal band with the 3/10's isn't worth searching in hisec due to the k162's, while in lowsec that band has 4/10's which offer better rewards. So for me, in hisec I'm searching for 2-3 sites at all, while in lowsec its more like 6-7, including those amazing cruiser a-type modules.

That's highly dependent on what space you're in. Especially when half the 3/10s are on the 4/10 band and not the K162 band, giving you a shot at both frigate A-types and cruiser C-types in the same scan.

I have been plexing for years. I'm sure I was a very early T3 explorer.

A. lately I have had crap for drops. Vindi BPC used to be my end goal. I havent had one since January or before. I know they are dropping, cause I see them in the markets.

B. Important question here. I don't understand the "band" reference. Can you give me a clue? or explain?

Please provide more anecdotal stories about your drops.

I am very intrigued.

Deep space probes. All items on specific bands are kindly listed by Mio in a highly usable format here:

Well, that's low sec. Click around for high and null. So if I (for instance) were looking for Blood 3/10s or 4/10s and nothing else, I would ignore everything except for (for me) the .13 results from a single DSP scan and only try to pin those. Why I'd go hunting for those specific sites I don't know, but as an example....

TY very much Zhilia. I never did one bit of research on probing, just started dropping them and learning one day.

Learning is why EVE is still fun after all this time. Appreciate the response Big smile

The 3/10 showing up on the 4/10 band was fixed, afaik.

The Gurista 8/10 is the only complex I run that stands out as having a bad loot table. It drops only the OSE pretty much every time.

Is this a good time to mention that five of the last eight 6/10s I've run have dropped an EANM?
