Hello, I tried like 20 of them now and never found anyting good. Good as worth of the time doing them. The best so far was a 7th Tier overseer's thingy. Am I just unlucky is there really nothing good? |

I've also had a Serpentis module drop twice in the same container (200-400k isk value) over the last year. Usually I get the same results you are having. I do the anomaly just because it is one of the few that remains in a system for a while, since no one else wants to do it.
To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.

Drone combat sites are pretty bad for the most part. Especially the low end ones which don't even drop high tier overseer effectsm |

I've never found them to be worth it either. I only run them if there are more signatures to be scanned in system. |

Yeah, I've only ever looted some worthless Serpentis modules from it. The site seems to still do the same thing, still a waste of time. I don't know why the sentient modules weren't added into this site's loot profile when they were added to all the other drone sites. They should just replace the cans at the end with a sentient drone. Fixed. |

The site itself can be easily completed fairly quickly. Can collect bounty on the Rogue Drones, pick up a couple of OPE's, various Minerals, an Alloy / Compound or two and some Meta Level Modules, not to mention a low chance of getting Serpentis loot as well.
I think the site is still worth running, albeit last after all other sites have been completed.

I've gotten a Shadow Serpentis Sensor Booster and Shadow Serpentis Tracking Computer from them in the last 6 months, but usually I just get the overseer effects and alloys. |

Usually those small sites have been interesting - like over 1 year ago it was so. You could use cruisers, even in t2. When i discovered one of those i jumped it, spit out my drones and wait until everything is gone, loot, fly out. Sincve exploration has been nerfed down to approximately 20% of what was before, hisec exploration is boring, gives almost no income and above a certain amount of SP simply nothing but a waste of time. If you consider it an income source, simply hope for good luck.
From my database i read out that i have run this complex: 232 times in 2014. reward in items: only faction modules (true sansha for example) reward in ISK: depends. If you are lucky and find like True Sansha Warp Scrambler, income jumps up. If you are not lucky you find tags (mostly worthless, few 100K), or useless faction stuff like Cap Recharger or the even more useless faction plates.
Reward in Relation: 232 times with 4 times faction loot, of which one was a 150 mio reward, rest was below 5 mio value. 1 time encountered a faction drone (sentient) in frig size, dropped nothing but drone building resources.
in 2015 i played it 28 times. No loot at all found so far, no faction spawns.
Compared in numbers for ROI of ammo and such - if you are lucky you can cover your ammo costs mid- or long term. In the end, if you dont kill with drones in there, your invest in ammo (especially with missiles) is about 2 times higher than your income.
From pure numbers: Waste of time, uninteresting, not even challenging for a rookie ship with t1 and barely any reward. Good for beginners as training, but not for income. |
