I found a couple of radar site. Both times, I got only small and medium drone bpc's. Is there a chance to find something else in there? If not, than it is just a waste of time to do them.

They're useless, unless you get really really lucky and then they still suck compared to other stuff you can do like 120M/hour anomalies.

Are these "augmented", "integrated" or regular bpc?

Yeah CCP still has yet to fix exploring, especially mag/radar sites.

Even the hardest to find mag site can net you less then simply doing anoms. It's sad.

The only real exploring that will net you some serious coin is WH and complexes, most of which are hard to solo.

This is such a shame! 10 years in developing eve and the to do list just gets bigger for the devs!

It is intergrated vespa and hornet bpc. It does the same damage as T1 version with two differences: it also does thermal and has a bit more hp. You usually get two bpc's per site. The total bounty is around 3M and it takes about 25-30 minutes to scan down and complete the site. In the comparison, I can do a drone patrol in abaddon and get about 35M in bounties in the same time.

I actually haven't even seen a magnetometric site yet here in the drone space.

A guy in the alliance was doing the exploration in the low sec and he scored a gila bpc and a gist invulnerability field... He definitely got lucky but there is no complex in the drone space which can come even close to this kind of potential payout. Even if I get Hierarchy to escalate all the way through taking me all around the region (6-7 jumps between escalation sites); I still get only around 400-500m in salvage which I need to split between 2-3 other people.
