I love the new exploration system however there is one aspect of the system that bothers me...a lot. For those of us who are unable to log on right after down time, you ever notice when you log on later on in the day, a good deal of the exploration sites have been cleared out? In terms of balance, this is not fair to those who don't have the luxury of getting up at odd hours of the morning/night to go get to the newest exploration site. My proposal is that, much like the ending time of a wormhole for example, all explorations sites should also have a generation time i.e. a time in which they will appear in a solar system. By not having all sites generate after downtime, this will allow those in different time zones an equal chance of getting to run the site without being left with partially taken Radar sites and mined out Grav sites.

You do know that as soon as a site is completed in a region, a new site will spawn within that region?

Are you sure about this? I've scanned a few systems on a few different occasions within the same day and it seems that new sites don't seem to appear within the 2-hour time frame. If new sites do appear within the region as other sites are completed, this would be the solution to the issue however I had been told that no new sites appear after downtime when inquiring on this on the exploration channel in Eve.

I agree there should be regular spawns of exploration sites throughout the day, and not just a mass of spawns at the beginning of the day (after downtime), if they indeed only spawn once every 24 hours only. CCP would have to confirm this.

I don't see a problem. I do most of my scanning in the late evening hours of my North American timezone (a good twelve hours after uptime) and I have very little trouble locating systems with sites to find.

I just did some investigating on my own and it does seem that throughout the day, wormholes begin to close but I have yet to find a new wormhole that wasn't detected at an earlier point in the game.
It does seem that no new exploration sites spwan after down time and after asking about it in the exploration channel, they also seemed to agree that new sites don't spawn after DT which, if this is true, creates an unfair balance for those of us who are unable to log on shortly after DT.
To the person that says that they always manage to find sites, this in itself doesn't mean much unless you can show that a site you haven't seen pops up on the scanner from a previous time during the day. For example, I always log on at lunch time and scan then scan later on in the evening when I return from work. There are always less sites and I have yet to find a new site that I haven't found previously during the day.
Can CCP comment on the exploration system as to whether this is in fact the case here?

I know that if you're in a wormhole when the way out collapses, a new one spawns instantly. I'd wager that this doesn't happen especially often, though.

Definitely not often enough. Is it me or have you found the quality and frequency of the Wormholes to be less now than before the last game patch? It seems like the quality is way down...

What are you talking about? Completed sites respawn all the time, not only on downtime.
The downtime respawns expired sites - those that weren't found or weren't completed in time

Sites always respawn, in a different system in the same constellation. Not supported.

I have yet to see any evidence that the site re-spawns. As I said, even those on the exploration site don't agree that sites will spontaneously appear in a system anytime during the time after downtime. If it does happen, it doesn't happen enough...

What evidence do you need? To see it do some exploring and learn mechanics instead of posting nonsence like "partially taken radar sites"
If you want sites move to a less populated area, sites tend to drift to rarely visited systems, 5-6 signatures in system isn't uncommon in those. And drift happens exatly because of instant respawn of completed ones.

People who spend more time worrying about other people getting more stuff than them end up getting less stuff than people who just go out and do it.

WH's spawn in ALL areas of EVE in areas of ALL securitys.
Try Lowsec, there are an annoying number of wormholes there that link to both highsec 'easy' WH space and slightly harder areas.

The OP is suggesting that people shouldn't be required to log on to EVE at 4 AM as soon as down time ends.

Thanks for the support, Uronksur. I'm glad you understand what I'm talking about rather than diverting the issue.  |

Yeah, I know. I get it. From my own scanning experiences I just fail to see a problem.
Last night I hit a new system.. dropped a Deepspace probe.. two signatures and an anomaly. This was 9-10pm CST, 8 or so hours till server down. That's hardly logging in just as the server comes up. With 2/3rds of the day gone, I have plenty of new stuff to find.
