As it is now, all the best loot is found in 6/10 plexes. These sites drop A-Type Invl/EAMN/Med. Shieldbooster/Nano Platings + many more modules, all which have much higher values compared to the top plexes.

There's never been anything close to balance re: deadspace risk vs reward, which is why the vast majority of explorers are farming Gurista Scout Outposts safely in highsec for Pithum C-type Medium Shield Boosters while (relatively) everyone ignores low/null Angel/Blood/Serpentis sites.

Consider the massive jump in risk just by having your ship in lowsec or non-blue nullsec compared to highsec, adding to the fact that the sites are much harder and take longer to run: you're doing them in a more expensive ship that can't flee as easily, while doing fewer of them in the same time frame yet still wrestling with the whims of Lady Luck.

Personally I can't think of any way to balance it without completely destroying high-sec exploration and heavily buffing sov nullsec.

P.S.: Since Angels don't have a 6/10, their 4/10 (yes, in highsec) is dropping Gistum A-type Invulnerability Fields. How's that for risk vs reward? :)

Oh you have got to be shitting me..

Edit: Invuls and EANM's have always been marked as Cruiser sized modules. It's the same with Nanoplates that drop in 1/10-3/10. What's lacking are specific modules for Battleships that aren't reppers/boosters/prop mods (because those also drop in 1-3 and 4-6 for frigs and cruisers respectively)

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.
