Edited by: Orion Zero on 14/06/2010 16:52:03 I've been running nullsec pirate complexes recently, and I am having a bit of trouble - basically, I am only finding one of two things:
1) Unrated anomaly plexes that come up 100% on the first scan and, 2) 10/10 DED signature plexes that need to be scanned down
I generally am wandering solo, so though my tank might hold, I can't output the DPS to take out the 10/10 complexes, and the Anomalies seem worthless - they're far too easy, have crappy bounties, and provide no faction loot that I have yet found.
So, have I just been unlucky? Should I keep running the Anomalies looking for faction gear, or can I expect to find some 5/10, 6/10 and 7/10 signatures in nullsec? Do I need to go to lowsec or even highsec to find the level 5-7 plexes?
Thanks!

i don't think highsec gives anything better than 5/10
dunno about the rest of that but seems like low is your best bet

There are plenty of 6/10 and 8/10 out there as well as a lot of unranked plexes that can escalate into sites that will drop faction/deadspace items.
The anomalies are mostly there to provide stable income since you won't always find plexes and the ones you do find won't necessarily drop anything. Although the only anoms that are worth doing it seems are sanctums and havens. The others really aren't worth the time.

you're doing it wrong.
unrated plexes you actually have to scan down. those 100%er's that you're finding are just regular combat sites which will never escalate.

Those insta-100% sites (normal Cosmic Anomalies) do occasionally escalate. They also occasionally have faction spawns. They only provide regular loot/salvage unless a faction spawn takes the place of the last normal spawn. -- My typical ship fit:

The highest rated plex in hisec is 3/10 and in lowsec is 6/10 (or 5/10). Also normal anomalies have a chance of a faction NPC.

This is incorrect. I have seen plenty of 4/10 DED sites in high sec. The Guirista Scout Outpost is a very common 4/10 I find in Caldari space.

Just a wording error on my part - technically not plexes, no, but you do have to use scan probes or at least the scanner itself (if you're close enough) to find them. But I am told they do sometimes escalate into full plexes which you then have to warp to (the location is found in the journal if you get the escalation). It's just that I have never yet gotten an escalation, which leads me to believe it's uncommon or that I'm very unlucky.

I can confirm that in Highsec Gallente space, you can find a Serpentis Phi Outpost that is level 4/10. I have found them in 0.5 and 0.6 space.

Never you say ?
Odd thing is those are all that i do. And yet 1/10 have a faction battleship spawn and 1/20 usually drop a 10/10 ESCALATION.
Nieusha i would expect a late 08 player to know that.
But what do i know i live in 0.0.
