Not sure if it's just pure bad luck on my part, but has anyone noticed any recent drop in the drop rate for the NIMs? I've gone through 14+ sleeper BS wrecks without getting any, and have totaled just 2 across 5-6 anomalies/sites.

Another one of these threads? No, I don't believe there has been a nerf to the drop rate. Actually, if you read the patch notes that made adjustments to WH drops, it's stated they bumped it up (to what extent, they didn't say). In my experience, there will be instances where I will get real lucky and get a lot. Other times, I'll get a fair bit, but not as much as I would like. Then sometimes I get some real horrible luck. But that comes with the territory of exploration. You're not going to strike gold all the time.

that's BS Xerra TBH - we've had a quite random droprate in class 2 systems ranging from 2-20 per site
Class 1 drops suck though - maybe you do class 1's ?
Only had 5 total from a full class 1 system i believe

I do believe it is just bad luck, I got 15 from 5 sites in a class 1 yesterday. Some days I make out really well other days not so much.

I got 29 in a class one. I was there for 2 days and probably killed 70 frigs, and 25 cruisers

I'm starting to think they drop more often off of frigs than they do BSs. I got 3 in 5 class 3 CA but I clear the frigs off of a few LADARS and I walked away with several.
Note that several of the other people in the thread got several but they were in class 1s killing mostly frigs...

I do C1 and C2 daily and although some days i have crappy drops the next few days will make up for it. I recently had a very dry patch where i had hardly any in running 19 annoms but on average i find i get 4 or 5 per c1 annom. And i to have noticed i get more from lots of frigs than i do from cruisers or battleships.

Lol, oh really? I'd like to see some hard data to back that up thanks. I got 5 from one radar site last night. Sadface :(
I've been saying from the start they mostly drop from Frigs.

Back again from vacation although i doubt someone noticed an explorer missing for a month...
Reading up on my detailed excel sheets i keep from the anomolies/signatures i do i can confirm that the droprate of the NIM's are higher on frigates then from the BS/cruiser sized vessels.
My personal believes are that the component is used in the frigates targeting systems as they lock on the smallest of sigs freakingly fast...
As i've been on vacation just after the last patch where the supposed bump in NIM's droprates i can not confirm on this being a huge improvement or just the opposite (they entered a negative number in the loot table?) i only done 2 radar sites before i went away and can only confirm the huge increase in datacores from these type of sites.

21 from a c2 radar last night *shrugs* Tiny sample and probably unusually high, but an indicator that drop rates can't be -that- low. There were probably less than 30 wrecks.
Ashmira, would you mind sharing some of your SS data on Melted Nanoribbons? Or have you only been tracking NIM rates?

Nanoribbons seem to be dropping on a bit higher rate then neurovisuals, looks like it's twice as often as the neuro's before the last patch. They seem to be favoured by cruiser sized sleepers, but can drop from frigates and BS as well, although the BS have higher numbers on things like the calibration matrixes which decreases the drop change of the lower ancient salvage i guess.
On a sidenote, the highest number of NIM's i got from 1 frigate has been 4, looking at the 'normal' salvages the size of the ships intend to increase your number of a certain item, aka frig drops 1, cruiser up to 6 and BS can drop up to 10 of an item, i however have not noticed this in sleeper salvage yet and have not yet seen cruiser sized ships drop 4 NIM's or more as well... So one can asume that CCP changed the default loot tables for w-space and certain parts are most likely to come from a certain npc (like armor plates tend to drop mostly from serpentis/gallente region rats i believe)
This are all assumptions ofcourse taken from personal observation. I will be getting more active in w-space again soon i hope, so i can provide more data.

93 in about 6 hours in a Class 2: 2 radar, 1 magneto, and 15 anomalies. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

I think what you said is probably true. Since the OP I'm up to over 30+ sleeper bs wrecks without a single NIM across c3/5 anoms/ladar/radar/mag, as a matter of fact I've gotten only 4 NIMs in about 2 dozen sites that consists mostly of cruiser/bs.
From the replies it seems like people who are getting plenty of NIMs are mostly doing sites in C1/2 systems w/ frigs... /sigh
