Yep, I had a True Sansha spawn at the end of Sanctum the other week, it dropped a true Sansha large armor repair, tags and ammo.
just in normal rat wreaks I sometimes get 100M blueprint copy's drop, large and Extra large Ancil, shield Booster blueprints. Prob 01 or 2 every few hours if I check every wreak. I get about 700DPS on the ship I use to rat,
I had an officer the other day. Dropped no officer mods sadly, just 500Ms worth of faction stuff. Was pretty hard to take down, got some friends in sniper ships to help me kill it.
I prefer to get hauler spawns. It can be tricky moving the stuff when there hostiles around, but the value of them is almost always 250m plus, sometimes as much as 600M+. Takes ages when it drops 3 carriers of Trit tho, :P
Faction spawns are usually 50-100M sometimes u get lucky and get a 200M drop but all too often they drop nothing at all, just some ****** ammo and tags.
You can make a fair bit scanning down sites in null sec as well, defo worth doing, the Plexs drop juicy stuff at the end of em, I usually run em in a small group tho, u can solo em, but its hard without an expensive ship, Mag sites are brilliant, just salvaging some containers while fending off a few rats, can drop 500M+ in T2 loot. |

Yeah he did lie, thats not how you do it.
I get officer drops every other kill and the best way to do it is to wait until you're about to kill the officer then press ALT+F4. If it doesnt work then you just need to do it again and guaranteed officer drop. |

Essentially, it comes down to luck of the draw.
Ive been playing eve for...gosh...4+ years now? Ive always lived in null, so sometimes when I have time ill blitz the belts.
I used to live in Hemin which is Angel Cartel NPC space. I belt ratted about 2 hours a day for a week, and one day a Tobias' officer spawned.
He dropped about 12billion in loot...and I was selling it cheap because I just wanted to get rid of it.
All in all, this is not something you should SEARCH for. If I spent 60 hours doing this, I could make far more than 10billion in 60 hours doing 10/10s upgraded nullsec... |

ElementalWind wrote:Will someone tell me all the ways to increase my chances of getting some kind of faction or officer drop ratting in belts?
I have literally ratted for 12 hours straight today with dual ratting 1000dps machs tearing thru the belts and the best I've found was two hauler drops. I used the chaining method too. I was in a -.9 nullsec space too.
There have got to be other ways to gain a better chance of getting an officer drop. I use to rat extremely often in the past and I still have never seen a single faction or officer drop in a belt ever in my life.
Also note I'm the ONLY person in the system this whole 12 hour period.
the way i used to do it was... wake up right around downtime.. then log in an alt in a fast warp inty... and literally when the server came up go from system to system scouring for officer rats...
at some point you will run into one and at that point all you have to do is bring in the big ship and kill it...
the chaining method is not good for officer rats as much as its good for isk/tick... if you want officer rats and are determined not to move around then you have to kill everything... as its a chance based system if that officer rat will appear... it will takes days in that approach...
edit: you should try to scan out sites... there are more high level complexes in 0.0 then there are officer rats... and usually if you have an alt can walk out with 1 billion isk + from a days work... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

sigh yes... you have to be fast... if he jumps out before you get there with the big ship then yeah... lather rinse repeat... as he is out there somewhere... though i wonder if i had tried to used a cyno with a thanny it might have been more effective (though dangerous cuss carrier in a belt = you want to get ganked)...
though tbh the last time i did get an officer rat was before they boosted officers to make them harder to kill... so now you will probs need a few alts in big ships to get it done... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

dont officer spawns nuet and stuff like that now too?
i dunno i like it how rare they actually are... though for the new drone officer spawns i wonder which region would be considered to be the drone home region...
i kinda wanna do something crazy like put on officer drone damage mods and tracking mods on a sentry thanny and do sanctums again... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

Most of the people hunting officer spawns aren't ratting. They are bouncing from belt to belt in something relatively fast with a cyno so they can drop carriers on it.
Also the spawnrate is increased the better the truesec is. So there you go. |

I haven't seen an officer spawn since I first started playing, although I haven't actually done any ratting (except for horrid sec grinds) for about 2 years.

If you aren't belt bouncing and doing it fast in good truesec you are very unlikely to. If you want to see one ask Boat for his technique, that's how he used to fund himself.
Not that I'm advocating talking to boat. |

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Boat. He never showed up to the fleets he was supposed to run.

I actually was pretty lucky with officer spawns.
Had 3 of them. 1 in stain, 1 in venal and one in insmother.
What i can say about officer spawns is that there extremely rare. These 3 where pure luck and all after 5 minutes of ratting or straight after downtime. Other days after 3 hours of ratting i got nothing.
There was this dude who tested some theories and he did get them but noone knows exactly how and where they appear.
Theorie is that they spawn only in -0.8 and lower systems and even more in npc space close the home of the agent with the same name. Yes all officers have agents with the same name. |

Rat in a NPC home region - e.g. if you are looking for a Sansha officer rat in Stain, not Providence or Catch.
Allegedly there also is a higher chance to encounter an officer near his home station (all officers are mission agents for their respective faction).
And remember that you probably won't be able to solo an officer.
edit: bah, BrutalButFair made the same post 10 minutes ago I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |
