While exploring some WH's, I came across a C4 with 10 planets but without any customs offices. This is the first time I've seen this... anyone else?

Also, I logged back in a couple days later and no Cosmic Anomalies sites had spawned such as a Frontier Barracks or Frontier command Post, etc..

I'm used to living in a C2 where the Anomalies re-spawn like Tribbles... I'm just curious what others think.

if no one ever used PI on these planets, then no custom office was ever needed, and so they never spawned here. it's normal.

spawn rate is linked to constellation usage, it's not because where you were had good respawn that it's the case everywhere.

No. If no-one has ever done any PI on that planet, then there won't be a customs office around it. It's a fairly common occurence in high end wormholes.

About what? Anomaly respawn rates? The working theory is that there are only a set number of sites within each region of wormhole space, and every time one despawns, it reappears in another system in the region. So if your system has no anoms, not many people are running sites in your region, and they're "building up" elsewhere, so to speak. You'll often find uninhabited systems with 10+ sites just sat there with no-one to run them until they despawn naturally.

Of course, this is all just speculation until someone comes up with a way of empirically testing this theory.

Hehe I've seen people with posts wondering how customs office got into WHs but this is the first I've seen someone question the lack of customs office lol

And it's not just PI in general, but particularly when they build a launchpad on the planet.

Specifically a Spaceport is required to spawn a Customs Office.
