Today I was hunting NPC pirates in a 0.5 system (8.000-12.000 isk bounty and cheap loots). But then when I warped in an asteroid belt, I found a Dread Guristas Plunder with a 75.000 bounty, and around 15mill in items.
How often do they spawn? is it the same in every 0.5 system?
thanks

They are very rare in hisec, and not in all systems to the best of my knowledge. I do belive it is related to the true sec status of the system and some other voodoo mojo that I have not bothered to figure out. -=^=-

they spawn fairly rarely, but can drop some good stuff.
I have seen a few, got a few faction drops/implants. most just some faction ammo and a tag.

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 22/04/2008 02:03:12 What size of commander can spawn is related to system sec, but all systems up to 0.8 can have some kind of commander spawn. All the faction armor mods that are going on my future Archon were taken from high sec faction wrecks.

So how often did you find a commander?

It isn't something that you should really go looking for. The chance of one spawning is less than 1% with each new spawn in a belt. If you weren't aware of this already, belt spawns only generate when a player enters a belt. If you warp into a belt and rats are already there it means either they spawned the second you entered the grid, or some other player spawned them within the last fifteen minutes or so and they just haven't despawned yet.
The ones I've found I just sort of happened to come across while ratting. That said, if you REALLY want to, find a system with a lot of belts and fly to each one in turn, not killing anything and just moving on until you've gone through every belt. It won't increase your chance of finding a commander per se, but if one is going to spawn this is the most timely way to locate it. If you do this then do it in an abandoned system.
Short answer is: ratting is the only way to find these, so the more belts you rat through, the more often you'll be around for a commander spawn. Try to salvage it too, since the salvage is usually worth around a mil or so at least. |

I've been ratting quite much in sydicate and I wouldn't say the faction spawn was over 1% there...
But the spawns were bigger... -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

Some would say that. Others would say that it is not relevant. I've heard detailed theories on how the game generates these, but in the 3+ years I've been playing this game I can honestly say that no one other than CCP can really say what mechanics cause these to spawn, and they ain't talking. Just enjoy the results when it happens.

Edited by: Jovoich on 22/04/2008 16:05:54 I hunt round belts for people to kill and I must find about 2-3 every day. I would say about 1 out of every 3-4 u find you get an Low-grade implant.
Best time to go hunt em is just after dt.
