I have spent several hours scanning all of the systems in Gallente high sec for 2/10 and 3/10 DEDs with no luck. Does anyone have any tips for finding them? Thanks. |

Try in different systems or at different times of the day. You likely aren't finding them because they have been completed by someone else.
Systems that aren't frequently traveled / populated should give you better results. Also, persistence is important. |

The greatest source of income from DED sites are the deadspace mods that drop from the commander rat/structure. Getting a good drop from them can make you a relatively large amount of ISK compared to running L1-L2's.
OP, have you searched ALL of Gallente hi-sec? If you absolutely can't find anything, I'd recommend searching the hisec island systems (hisec that's surrounded by lowsec), as from my experience anyways, they tend to have a lot more anomalies and signatures. Try looking in places like Artisine, Stegette, Olide, Allebin, Clorteler, Osmallanais, or most of hisec Solitude if you ever find yourself all the way out there. |

Afaik the encounters respawn straight after they despawn, and they just roll a long list of eligible systems, so the odds of you finding one is basically proportional to the length of time since another explorer checked.
1/10 and 2/10s are very rare, there aren't many signatures on rotation. The 3/10 and 4/10 are common enough - a vexor or myrm with sentries can do the 4/10, its hard in a vexor and easy enough in a myrmidon, and I used to do the 3/10 in an ishkur a lot.
For serpentis highsec encounters, I used to live on the 3 system highsec island in solitude, as that had the lowest explorer per day rate of any serpentis space I was aware of, almost every time I logged on there was either a 3 or a 4 available, and it wasn't too hard to try lowsec content in the immediate surrounds either.
Another place you might be able to find a good timezone slot is the highsec placid island, and there is also a couple of other gallente islands. I have either a vexor or an ishtar on every one of those islands ;)

no chance.
The best individual drop I got from the serp ded 3 was 450m worth of items. Yes it will regularly drop nothing, but ultimately its got a lot of commanders and the overseer structure, a lot of rolls at faction and a roll at the a-type coreli table, as well as the frigate bpc, do it enough times and you'll be miles ahead.

An over-abundance of competition doing High Sec exploration is the cause for the definite lack of available sites.
This is due to CCP turning exploration into instant gratification / easy mode. Players who want to do high sec exploration need to train up skills and practice speed scanning just to compete with others. During the week it's not as bad but on weekends you might as well do something else instead of exploration.
Basically you need to scan, get to and complete the sites asap before greedy cherry pickers come through blitzing the sites. They know all the shortcuts and specific triggers to pop in order to get the loot asap (You should also learn them - check Evelopedia). Don't expect any good sportsmanship or common courtesy from these blitzing cherry pickers. They will barge in, quickly pop triggers, grab the loot and warp out while you're engaged with NPC's.
Sorry about stating the harsh truth but it's a fact you need to realize asap, especially if you insist on doing exploration.
Sure CCP has added those sites to Low Sec systems but the majority of players won't go there. Why, because it's too much work. It's tough enough just doing the sites themselves let alone having to constantly watch local, spam Dscan and when scan probes show up, warp to safe spot (needs to be created first which means more work).
Yeah, that's definitely not instant gratification / easy mode. Not to mention there's also the chance of either getting locked out of the site due to lack of key or the site despawning cuz of warp out.
Anyway, good luck to you.

Like most things in EVE, it's a competitive system and there's a ton of players trying to beat you to it.
You need a bit of luck and to be very fast, both to scan it down and to complete it.

It would help if that stupid, inane, jejeune mini-game wasn't borderline game-breaking for losec (because the Mag/Radar sites in 0.4--->down --or whatever we're supposed to call them now-- are actually worth doing, unlike most of them in hisec.):
Still can't re-size the window or nest it in with any others, it takes up damn near half the screen, and I gotta shove half of it off-screen if want to keep an eye on local/d-scan.
I haven't any doubt that less of this would free up more 'plex' in hisec, cuz more people would then want to make their consistent "wage" from the profession-sites in losec, as many of us did before OddityOdyssey.
As it is, I don't even want to do the damn things anymore, it is really that gratingly bad.
Revert this, CCP, FFS. There was nothing wrong with the previous system, why the Hell did you see a need to "fix" it? Come join my nullsec empire:

the secret is to identify a somewhat quiet region and do a 'patrol' route through that region, identifying sigs other than the ones you want and then just keep running that route until you find new sigs. I use in game notepad and system links. works like a charm.
exploration in hs isnt about exploration, it's about farming. |

QFT.
I also think CCP made exploration too easy. Lots of people are doing it. It is so easy now its not fun anymore. I quite enjoyed the way the previous scanning system worked in which you had to place the probes yourself. If you knew how to do it, and knew how to do it fast, you had an enourmous advantage. It happened frequently i entered a system wit another prober, and had already finished the first room when the other finally warped in.
I also used to do exploration in highsec in these times, and it didn't matter if there was someone in it or not. I knew all the triggers, and where they were. I used a T3 to do them (tengu mostly) and sometimes an Ishtar or Gila, and if possible i just popped the triggers, and got the escalation or overseer loot, while a low SP player in an hurricane or vexor was painstakingly killing all the NPC's. *Snip* Removed trolling part of the post.

Just keep looking, and use the map overlay for jumps in the last hour to find an area of sparsely populated systems and scan them down. You might also try running the noobscannable combat sites (the ones that appear automatically in your scanner) and hope for a faction rat or escalation.
HS site running can be quite rewarding; it's possible to get faction mods worth hundreds of millions, but then again you can go days without getting drops of any value. Level 4 mission running is more profitable, but combat site running is much less tedious. My $.02. Only venture into lowsec if you get an escalation to a 5/10 or 6/10, it's stupid to look for lower class sites there because the risk is so much greater than the reward. |

it was harder just because of a really bad interface, probing actually was a lot easier with all the tool given, you had more powerfull probes and more tools. "hard because interface suck" its never a good game experience. |
