So I had a question that I couldn't quite seem to find via Google
I have been doing some low sec exploration, and I usually do DED sites. I have been trying a lot of unrated sites lately, and they almost always never give me feedback if they are done or not. I have yet to actually get an escalation after 15 or 20 sites (i know, random is random), but what's annoying is I never know if I am done or not because I never get a message about the trail going cold except for once or twice.
For example, last night I did the Angel Watch twice. It's an unrated site and the frigate commando is a trigger according to the wiki. That is probably outdated because I never even saw a "special" frigate other than the hordes of gistum frigs. It also says the drug farm can be one. I was just shooting some normal gistum frigs in the last room, and then it told me the trail went cold. I then immediately did another Angel Watch afterwards since it was in the same system. I destroyed everything, and I never got any sort of message about it going cold or getting an expedition. While Googling for an answer, the site despawned. I find that happens a lot, I waste my time killing everything, nothing happens until 10 minutes later or so and then the site despawns.
Does anyone else experience this lack of feedback, or am I doing something wrong? It would be nice to know if the site was finished, and I got the cold trail message, instead of wasting time and ammo shooting everything in hopes of getting an escalation (which I still have yet to get haha).

It's random. It may escalate to antoher site or just as it say "trail went cold". So it will be last site in particular expedition.

Right. But like I said, the problem is that about 95% of the time it doesn't escalate or go cold. I assume that it goes cold because I don't get any escalations and the site espawns, but I am barely ever actually told that the trail went cold. So I end up shooting almost every structure hoping to get a trigger, yet I get nothing unti lthe site just desapwns.
Is it normal that I am almost never told that the site goes cold? It just ends up wasting so much time and bullets...

Otherwise I just keep hunting for a trigger and it just ends up wasting so much time and bullets... From my experience in amarr space there are no messages. There will be one when expedition occurs.

Pretty much my experience too. The only exception is if you make it to the penultimate site of a Powergrid and it fizzles; it actually tells you it's over then. |

He isn't in amarr space, Angel are minmatar space.
However in my experience unless you start an expedition then you won't be told the trail went cold, regardless of which Faction space you occupy

Ok, thanks guys. I was under the impressions that I SHOULD be told if the trail went cold, because I have seen it a couple times (in the first stage, before i ever got any escalation). I can only assume that I somehow got an escalation, which escalated into nothing, and that is why i got the message saying it went cold haha.
I will just shoot potential triggers from now on and stop wasting my time if nothing important happens after the rats and siginificant structure is destoyed.

It goes like: unrated site (message about escalation)->escalation->escalation->escalation->final site (in every escalation stage trail may go cold). anomaly ->DED site
