Was messing about in a 0.0 WH a few mins ago. And while I had uncharted planets I could click on, there were no moons or belts. I knew that they weren't gonna show up, so I started probing. And Probing and probing.
I could not scan, probe, locate or otherwise find anything on my scanner or any type of probe (I had all 3) for over an hour. I checked each planet, I could see the little "bright spots" as I warped in looking like moons, but I could not get them probed down.
So I checked the filter thinking I hadn't selected anything, but there was nothing to select.
Ships
Sigs
and Pos stuff
I also did not even get a return sig on the WH i had come through, even tho I was right next to it.
Is this a known problem?
Did I not setup something (filter/scanner)?
I realize there might not be any moons or belts in the system I was in, but shouldn't I have at least been able to see planets on my system probes?
I'm probably missing something real simple, but....
According to Oveur, existing LSAA's already anchored will stay there.

as far as I know there are no belts in w-space. There are gravimetric sites that in all intents and purposes look and feel like belts, but are just hidden.
Planets show up normally on the system scanner.
About why you can't lock down any hidden spots when probing is beyond me. You sure you know what you're doing? Also, ain't the filters tied to the overview settings you have?

The gravimetric sites are not usually worth it, but there are two kinds taht have arkonor in them, when you probe for them, he site name (after you have more than sensor strength 75%) will start with "exceptional" or "rarified".

That's a good question.
What kind of rats spawn inside Gravimetric site, if there are any spawns.
Scouted one Grav once in WH and there were no rats in there. Warped back and for some times to "trigger" a spawn, but not a single rat of any kind. Had no mining ship with me so i couldn't deplete a rock to try to trigger that way.
Anyone got some information on this? Would be interesting to know for those who plan to stay for some weeks/month in there and want to mine some Minerals for Ammo and Shipproduction.

Rat spawns in w-space hidden belts are rare. Have been mining for 2 hours and during that time only 3 frigs + 1 cruiser visited me.

no the belts are not permanent; yes there are `rat spwns ive see anywhere from 5 frigates to 1 cruiser and 2 frigates, and yes, they are sleepers. the belts with ark spawn 2 cruisers and 1-2 battleships which will PWN your hulk and do warp scramble. be prepared to tank 650 dps from a single battleship and two cruisers . . . you have been warned . . . and the time of the spawn seems to be random as far as i can tell

I can confirm that there are asteroid belts in wspace. Actual ones that show up on your screen as triangles you can warp to like any other belt. But, they are empty. the roids are at the grav sites.

Agreed, I've seen them also. They appear to be artifacts of the initial creation of the W-space systems since they don't occur in every W-space system and are always empty of rocks.

As for the moons, they are there. On the right click menu where you can warp to the planets... there's a sub "folder" for its moons. :)

Clearly you haven't tested this. I spent two days stripping two sites in w-space from Ark and Spod and the Sleepers didn't touch my Hulk. They just floated silently some distance away. Apparently I didn't pose a big enough threat.

I wouldn't say they are rare; warping to each of the ten gravimetric bookmarks in the current system I'm in found spawns in three of them.
What I have noticed though, is that the rats fail to respawn once you have killed the initial spawn off - leaving you free to mine unmolested. At least, this has been my experience so far, having spent some hours mining in w-space.

wormholes can be explored on your own but for best results then it really needs to be a team effort
Ladies and gentlemen, we will shortly be experiencing some exploding followed by some crashing...so i'd hold on if i were you! |

I HAVE tested this and would have to say you are an exception and not the rule. Also consider how 40mil kg of mass for your hulk affects that WH on every passage. Be prepared to find a new exit. It,s safer to mine in 0.0 than in WHs.

Try any "good" ladar or gravi site, like the instrumental or vital ones, they will spawn 2 BS with evil dps, a warp scrambler and support ships that will all but **** you in 15 seconds.

Just noting that whether sites (grav/ladar in particular) spawn sleepers and the kind of sleepers they spawn is highly dependant on where in w-space you are.
The difference between an "unknown" system and a "deadly" system are huge. Even "dangerous" systems quite different.
It's also possible that the sleeper's guards had been cleared from a belt thus leaving the impression the belt is undefended.
