Having returned to eve after about 2 years of inactivity i've done some plexing and i'm starting to wonder if there has been a nerf to the deadspace loot drop of the overseers?
When i used to do sansha plexes, 6/10 - 10/10 back in the days i got a decent to good loot drop more than 50% of the times, now i've done 5 or 6 sansha plexes 7/10 - 10/10, and only got ope all of the times.
Am i being extremely unlucky or has there been a nerf to how often the deadspace mods drops? or perhaps an indirect nerf if the loot drop ammount stayed the same while the number of plexes spawned went up drastically with the ihub upgrades introduced? |

I would have to agree. Five - six is an adequate sample size to draw this conclusion. Exploration is in fact, broken.
Or you don't know what you're talking about.
You decide!

If you had done 50 sites and got nothing then I would start wondering if loot tables weren't nerfed. But after 6 sites?
You just got unlucky and that is all. I remember doing about 20 GSOs in a row and getting only OPEs. Then I got 3 boosters and 2 adaptives from 4 sites in a row. Random was/is/will be random.

I just logged awhile ago to check my character and to do a bit of exploration which I just gotten interested in as I was busy irl.
Found two 4/10 DED complexes within a short span of two hours, in which both sites dropped Pithum C-type shields.
Didn't really know how much they were worth.
Check market.

o/ Sir Livingston
i've seen your DED complex runs on youtube, very interesting and informative. I think it was your videos that got me interested in highsec exploration, hopefully I'll be able to fly either a tengu or proteus soon so that I can blitz sites like you |

My experiences in low sec hasn't been very pleasant since I always get blown up by pirates and gate camps so I'm staying out of there for the time being. However I know the rewards in low-sec are much higher than that of high-sec but so are the risks, I'm not too sure on how to find a way around pirates who have more experience and higher sp than myself.
I currently do high-sec exploration in an AF, think I could slap on a cloak and try low-sec? |

An AF, cloaky or not, isn't going to any of the combat sites in a reasonable amount of time (It could probably handle Prov. Outposts, but not much else). They can run the Radars/Mags, but you may as well use a T1 Cruiser for that.

What dearest MiGÖÑ is trying to say here, is that the RnG is standing all smug in the doorway, glaring disdainfully at you while you writhe on the floor in drug induced nightmares. Then, just before you plan to run away from it all, they slip you a fix, just enough to keep you hooked and hopeful for the next hit, only for the cycle to repeat. You find yourself in some filthy shower, hugging your legs, knees under your chin, shivering in the dark, clutching only Overseers Personal Effects in your hand. |

I know that feeling bro, I've also been scanning the past month but the most I got was a t2 implant which I had to compete with a tengu pilot(he warped in just as I cleared the first room). Last night when I got the first deadspace shield I had to double and triple check the zeros to ensure that my eyes were not deceiving me, I really went OMGWTFBBQ since I've only made like 700mill since I just started playing eve(which was about 5? months ago).
So after the first epic loot, I decided "Eh, why the hell not do one more before I go to bed", mind you I had an exam the next morning .
So I decided to scan the next system and the next thing I know, the exact same complex appeared on scan and I thought "Holy ****, no freaking way". So I swapped out my ishkur for my myr and I decided to check it out to see if there was anyone doing it as the system was quite populated, lo and behold there was no one. I even managed to clear both rooms taking my own sweet time and when the second deadspace loot dropped I just lost it.
So yeah, I'm pretty much stoked still |

I have noticed I regularly get terribad drops doing 8/10 and 10/10s. Get only the overseer affects. I would say less than 30% of the time I get something worth being excited about. Rest of the time its like some ammo and an overseers |

I logged in the other day, went 2 jumps, found a 10/10, ran it in ~20 minutes and got a vindicator bpc.
Thus, the 10/10 drops a vindicator bpc 100% of the time.

I would say the rewards are much higher as well, simply because any combat site you find has a high potential reward. In hisec, you're basically only searching for watches and 4/10's. IMO the signal band with the 3/10's isn't worth searching in hisec due to the k162's, while in lowsec that band has 4/10's which offer better rewards. So for me, in hisec I'm searching for 2-3 sites at all, while in lowsec its more like 6-7, including those amazing cruiser a-type modules.

That's highly dependent on what space you're in. Especially when half the 3/10s are on the 4/10 band and not the K162 band, giving you a shot at both frigate A-types and cruiser C-types in the same scan.

I have been plexing for years. I'm sure I was a very early T3 explorer.
A. lately I have had crap for drops. Vindi BPC used to be my end goal. I havent had one since January or before. I know they are dropping, cause I see them in the markets.
B. Important question here. I don't understand the "band" reference. Can you give me a clue? or explain? |

Deep space probes. All items on specific bands are kindly listed by Mio in a highly usable format here:
http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/lowsec.html
Well, that's low sec. Click around for high and null. So if I (for instance) were looking for Blood 3/10s or 4/10s and nothing else, I would ignore everything except for (for me) the .13 results from a single DSP scan and only try to pin those. Why I'd go hunting for those specific sites I don't know, but as an example.... |

TY very much Zhilia. I never did one bit of research on probing, just started dropping them and learning one day.
Learning is why EVE is still fun after all this time. Appreciate the response |

The Gurista 8/10 is the only complex I run that stands out as having a bad loot table. It drops only the OSE pretty much every time. |
