First question, while roaming I caught shadow serpentis grand and high admiral BS wrecks on dscan. In hundreds hours exploration I have never seen faction spawns over cruiser level in losec, what kind of site would these have been in?
Second, I am getting bored crapless with eve in general, if I spend a few hours daily hunting I find a handful of radar sites and maybe a combat site, and if im real lucky the faction cruiser drops a 10mn afterburner. The only thing that really keeps me here is getting into pvp, which even that takes hours to get a decent fight unless I say **** it and jump on anyone I meet and die horribly
Boring, boring.
The pvp I can handle, hunting humans should be just as tough as it is but the pve side has me ready to quite even if I have to buy plex for game time im not spending another penny for in game equipment and ships and pve seems to still be geared towards the 10k people around when it was set up there was over 50k people online yesterday and there are no more empty systems. Dont give me that bull**** about 'go to minmatar losec' 20 thousand people took that advice.
TL;DR:
If I can't log on and do something cool for an hour besides find a fight which i can, but not find some cool PVE and pay for the last ship I lost, I call it quits 1 account ran out out of my 4 and I just didnt bother getting plex for it.
****-poor planning by ccp Ive never played wow but star trek online seems like it might be worth a shot Im a gamer whether it's pve or pvp, and I am also the customer and I damn well DO demand it all on a platter.
edit- After the over year of observation, I dont have any faith in CCP's ability to deliver and meet players wants and needs. Like the dust thing, wtf is that another first person shooter when they are yesterdays news what are they going to do that anyone else hasnt done better already? Nothing is the answer.
This is outerspace and spaceships, if you want first-person shooting, how about arcade style 'starfox' like small craft combat. Like x-box game where you are defending pos's or capital ships. The possibilities are endless but I think corruption and decadence born of success has ruined ccp staff, eve really is probably dying lol.

About Dust.
CTF-gameplay. Has been in games since Tribes.
Flying airships. Has been in games since Tribes.
AFAIK, nothing new that wasn't done 15 years ago.
Connected to Eve somehow. Like consolers will care.
I've been in a lowsec place for 2 weeks, searched about daily for plexes. Only 2 has appeared, one I could actually complete. Rest of the sigs have been radar/mag/wh. Scanned 3 systems. Nothing the last week, I've gotten so bored I even do the magnetos...cept I went to do guristas epic arc last nite, completed today. Decent fun. I love Jita, Gila blueprint sold within 5 minutes.

I love this post just because it refers to CCP as "corrupt" and "decadent." Seriously I lolled.

You cant expect to find, complete or be rewarded, when it is so easy to find and clear these things, bottom line is, every man and his dog are into exploring atm.
The BS were probably anoms or plexs which come under "Unknown" on the scanner, ive seen plenty of BS rats in low sec sites and in each one theres a chance of a faction spawn, although the loot will probably be ammo and tags.

While I feel the pain a bit myself, you might have to change directions. Try a WH, class 1 or 2 which can be done solo (at least with a Drake). If you don't control aggro and watch d-scan, you can be in for a nasty surprise. I solo'd 3 of them in a C1 last night and earned 85-90 million which took a total of less than 2 hours.
Hunting anoms, even in low-sec, seems to yield few challenging sites. With enough peeps running them in your area, you won't find much isk/challenge. Again, I might suggest worm holes for a change of pace (not a permanent change).
PVP solo... well I agree with you 100% at least for the parts of Black Rise I run through. It's nearly impossible to find someone who isn't at a gate, station or PoS. I did have 2 daredevil's find me running rats one time (I had no point so it ended in a draw) but other than gate camps, there's very little pew pew around.
Keep on trucking and don't give up. Change what you do every few days to keep Eve fresh. Maybe take a day or two off, yes I said it, just to give you a chance to get the old mojo back!@!!!

Overseer battleships in exploration plexes are sometimes faction battleship equivalent. I once got a Snake Omega (not the low-grade) from a Serpentis Annex (fairly certain it was not the minor) in a 0.3.

Where to start.
a) Your TL:DR should be the jist, your main post was 212 words while your TL:DR was 208 words. This is unacceptable posting.
b) Want everyone to find tons of faction lewts? Great, lets make faction gear dirt cheap, that surely won't hurt industrial type people.
c) Your stuff. Contracted to me.
c.2) If your staying HTFU.
d) Cheap and fast pvp? Go join Red v Blue in highsec for constant log on cheap pew pew action. Or if you want to stick in low-sec try Factional Warfare.
e) Explorating not working out for you? Try somewhere new, or another form of PvE how about diving into a wormhole? Plenty of stuff to do.

About 2-3 months ago, in Serpentis hi-sec space, I made in the neighborhood of about 1.5-2 billion running exploration combat sites. So, I guess this is a YMMV incident.
Your TL:DR is really this "I'm not happy, therefore EVE is dying"

Need to do exploration in different Regions. At different times. On different days. In areas that are off the main travel path.
Take notes, double check systems later for more exploration sites. If it has a couple more sites in it, make that a regular exploration system. Set up 1/2 a dozen or more systems for exploration that are within a few jumps of each other. Make that a 'Route'. Try to set up a couple of 'Routes' in different Regions.

Look im a little bit of a jackass to just ***** without offering a solution so here goes:
How about diminishing returns on certain aspects of the game. Not mining, pi, etc where effort outta be rewarded to be realistic, but how about so many sites found and ran, per account, the drop rate decreases.
So, the guy that has an hour or two in the evening and manages to find a good site has a high chance of a good drop, to make his evening rewarding and exciting for bothering to patronize eve-online.
Then the guy that logs on in the morning and covers half the known universe till bedtime at night might as well give it up after the 3rd site found or so, just like stacking penalties after the 3rd module fit renders that slot drastically more useful for doing something else, let him go mission or something or else waste his time.
This could easily be a flag set on the site by the account which scanned the site down in the first place to be applied to the drop rate variables.
I still however think that eve is getting overcrowded and site spawns seem to be outdated. Time to open up jovian space.

an idea
Exploitable because I have no less than four accounts capable of scanning and running sites. I would happily exploit the hell out of a mechanic that gave me four awesome drops as long as I didn't run consecutive sites with the same account. Ultimately, it would screw the casual player because I'd be even more spacerich than I already am.

Heh, I already told you how to find more exploration sites.
It's not just an adventure, it's a job.
The systems need to be researched, stats placed into notes, systems double and triple checked, then a decision made on if it's a good area for continued exploration.
There are areas that are filled with lot's of exploration sites, just gotta go search for them. I spent about 3 months setting up some exploration routes and I'm still setting up more routes. I'm always looking for those 'special' systems that have a lot of exploration sites.
Right now I have 3 to 4 routes set up in each Factions area of space. I always find exploration sites in each system. These 'Hot Spots' will have up to 2 dozen Cosmic Signatures and about twice as many Anomaly's.
Anyway, I'm done with this post, contact me in game and we'll talk.

wouldnt it be solved a lot easier if the exploration sites just spawned at random times instead of during downtime? in the 1st few hours after downtime there are tengu's all over the place finding the sites and running them, and by the time half the other world gets on most good stuff is gone. just make the spawn time rendomly over the entire day and there will always be something when you look hard enough. just not as often as the people who blitz them just after DT now do them

I like the random spawn time idea, I spose as it stands half the world is at an initial disadvantage from the DT spawns.
I'm not a hardcore explorer myself, although the hotspot thing does actually happen. And everyone always wants more faction spawns, not realistic though. My best faction Spawn was at a lowsec belt, got a 400mil implant from a ss cruiser.

They respawn as old sites are cleared.
It's easier for post-DT guys because there aren't many people playing EVE at that time. Whereas US and EU prime, there are literally thousands of people scanning for the same absolute number of sites.
