Hey

Can anyon explain the spawning mechanics of data and relic sites

Im not finding many so I assume they are found soonish after spawning, It doesnt seem to follow the 11am server reset like asteroids thing

Im having to stick to high-sec as when I venture into low-sec I get found out when hacking, im ok up to that point as Im cloaked while im nailing down the signals

Got to admit that its a lot more interesting than mining but Im not earning much ISK at all at the mo


Im finding a shedload of combat sites, are these any better than mission running?

Also Im sick of finding wormholes, lol

Use the map. Find systems where there is not much traffic. No doubt you are looking in popular systems and the sites have been tapped.

And you will not earn a lot in high sec as the sites require less skill and have less loot.

Afaik - when a site is done somewhere in your region, it will respawn elsewhere in that region.

Not sure if that still holds true though.

Find HS pocket separated from rest HS by low sec system, that are in most cases very empty, I made billions in Liukikka pocket from exploration, but be carefu Aunenen from Nonni gate is often very camped.

I think CCP has never said officially, but from what I researched the consensus was:

- when the site is completed it is regenerated in the region soon after (my exploring does not support it's in the same constellation).

- if the site is not completed within three days it is deleted and a new site is generated somewhere else after downtime.

the combat sites are much better than missions but loot drops are random.
relic /data sites are popular and in high traffic regions they will go fast.
relic/data in low and null are pretty easy , loot is better and the risks are not as high as you claim.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Exploration in low sec is a bit riskier then in null in my opinion. In null sec you can just travel to a quiet group of systems and scan as you like. Low sec usually has more population and stations where people can change from their scanning ship to their combat one to gank you in the site.

So, imo, if you're going to explore in low sec, might as well head directly to null, as they pay out better.

I've been having the same experience. I will have to try some of these suggestions.
