I found one of these in a Ghost site, but it was a GURISTAS Ghost site.

I lost it after I overshot a mainframe when trying to hack it (blew up my ship and the component with it), but I thought they were only in Serpentis sites.



They have been dropping form ghost sites for some time now.

Not that it really matters, because they can be farmed by dozens in Serpentis space.




Yes, CCP has totally goofed up this event. First they give an elaborate backstory about Upwell and the Serpentis, and make an event about attacking the Serpentis Frostline site all over New Eden. But, now the bigger and ultimately larger rewarding event comes out, but the sites are only in Serpentis space or WH space. This totally contradicts the massive network of Serpentis sites that we saw across the galaxy before.

This event was a mistake from the start, then implemented in the worst way possible. Having everyone play "Gold Rush" to find these components was a bad call, then to limit their availability to a few regions was just bad planning. CCP "doesn't play favorites" yet these sites are only available in the areas controlled & camped by the mightiest and richest alliances in the game, so the odds of anyone outside these Coalitions/Alliances/Corps submitting the "Most" is very slim. Plus, this method leaves massive speculation to how this will proceed. Ex:

How are we going to get BPC's for these Citadels after the event?

Will they be seeded by Upwell?

Will they be an LP reward? If so will it be a Mordus Legion, Ore, or an Upwell reward?

Will they only be available in Serpentis exploration sites? (This one I doubt as the lore will not coincide with the past, you know since you can only find research components they obviously don't have the full design. However, as we have seen, this event is not following the lore anyway so I could be wrong)

Will there be new Upwell Relic & Data sites to explore and find these BPCs?

CCP really screwed this event up.

Anyone else notice that they revised the comment in Lee Brinelle's bio?

Did anyone else notice how the number of relic and data site dropped suddenly? I now see mostly WH sites when I scan down cosmic analogies. Crap.

CCP definitely goofed this event up

I correct myself. I just read the update on this. I wasn't paying attention to the end date of the event which was Sunday. Oh well.

Why are you suprised that CCP favors the biggest and richest allinaces and corps........ that is what they always do. I was finding data sites regulary then they disappeared.

Wish they would stop this everybody can succed in EVE playing the way you want to...... you have to play null sec PvP to make anything

While i agree that the event did not progress as it should (i live in hi-sec gallente space and i hate low-sig data/relics that are now cluttering up the systems), you are wrong.
The components drop equally in every can in both data and relic, in hi/low/null.
If you wanted a lot of them, all you had to do was go in gallente space and start farming, the damn place is filled with them.

I have not actively searched for them but have sold 200 units, and i still have about 100 in stock.
If i had actually actively searched for them, with a properly fitted ship (the hacks are insanely easy, the trick is to get to the site first), i probably would of had in the thousands.

This event could have been won not by 1 person, but by a small group of dedicated players, playing only in hi-sec.

Well I don't know where you are but I am in Gallente space and I have been primarily hunting for these. At first there were many relic/data sites and then it dropped down drastically. Now most of the site are wormholes where I am located. I cover at least 7 systems when I hunt for these and it is consistent; there are very limited relic/data sites right now.
