Hey everyone, and CCP,

I'm not a long time player, being in here for only a few weeks, but as an newb explorer, there is one thing I figured recently that seems quite tedious to me and I suppose to others as well. (at least I hope)

I would like to know if others would be favorable to the following request:
- make Gravimetric/Magnetometric/Radar/Ladar sites spawn randomly and not all after daily scheduled down times.

The reason I'm asking for it, is that most systems in high sec are actively visited right after down times, by those players lucky enough to live in the countries where they can be home at this time, or not working in RL, or whatever reason makes them available at this time.
For all the other players, who can only come online 6 to 8 hours later, the result is a very boring exploration where the sites showing up are usually already visited, but the previous visitor kindly left a couple salvaged components or a cheap datacore, leaving the site scannable, but worthless.

I think it would be far more "balanced" for everyone.

I know exploration is a random luck activity, but for now, in my experience, it's just a matter of being able to log at the right time and it's not even a matter of skill training, or anything I can improve in-game.

Some will argue that I can always explore low/null-sec, but no, that's just working around an issue, not a solution. Besides, beginners don't have the experience/SP nor the cashflow to sustain frequent visits in low/null sec. I know you guys want to see more people in there, but even if I wouldn't go down without a fight, that wouldn't be much of a fight anyway.

I'm pretty sure all sig spawns do not occurr right after downtime and are randomly spawning. I might be wrong though but I'm sure if this was the case this complaint would be massive and this is the first time i've seen it on this forum.

Sin Pew please, you could at least google your's problem, before posting. Sites can respawn anytime. After some site is cleared, it will reapear anywhere (in any same class system to be exact). They dont spawn / despawn / respawn after downtime. Your's problem is actually with people not clearing the sites and leaving them to respawn due to time (some people says its 3 days but can be even longer).

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.

Please check your facts before you post. "Sigs all spawn at DT" is an urban myth (or whatever you would call it in Eve). Sigs respawn within minutes of when they despawn somewhere else, so the number of sigs is more or less constant in the universe. The only time when sigs respawn at DT is if they have been triggered and then abandoned for 3+ days, which is the system saying "*shrug* I guess no one wants this here after all".
