On the exodus features page is states that roids have a chance to respawn as a better type of ore...well we did a test recently and popped several rare types of roids....in all the test...not one of the roids respawned...that's zero..nada..nuttin...zilch...kaput...sol....is this a bug? or do we have to farm rares like before exodus with killing the basics so the rares would grow....anyone with info on this plz post...thanks

Probably they meant "respawn as a better type of ore" with those +5% and +10% roids. (like concentrated veldspar instead of ordinary)

My corp has also done some experimenting on ore respawning, the highest in the test belt was bistot (and its named versions) we cleared all the low end until gneiss, after that we were hoping to see at least more gneiss but not much changed.
From what the features page says I understand that if I bother to clear the low end I might be rewarded with higher end ore, but thats not the case. We send a petition to CCP asking if anything happens at all or if its bugged, the answer was the usual yadayada "We can not publish ore respawn mechanics, as it will eliminate exploring.." FFS we dont want to know how it works we want to know if it works at all!
Only thing we observed was if u mine a roid to a limit it will grow faster first then slow down after a certain growth period. I assume the true ore respawn mechanics are so simple and exploitable that CCP is afraid that someone will figure out how it works.

Long story short - This feature (along with sadly many others on the Exodus info) didn't make it into the patch and hasn't been heard from since.
In theory, there should be a chance of a better (ie. from a lower sec status) asteroid spawning when currents ones are depleted and popped.
This hasn't happened in any of the belts I've worked, nor was it on SiSi during testing, nor mentioned in the Exodus patch notes.
SoonÖ is as best as I can estimate it.

As far a I can tell from mining omber (yes I know! but I'm pretty new), if you pop a roid completely it doesn't respawn for 2 days. However if you use an ore scanner and mine it down so that it doesn't pop completely, it seems on average to have more in it after the following days DT.
An example: I was mining in a deserted .7 system a while ago and had a nice placement within 11km of about 10 omber roids. I used my ore scanner to make sure i didn't pop them (left about 300-400 in each). Most of them contained about 8k-12k of omber. The following day after DT, most of them contained 10k-13k of omber. a week later some of them had as much as 28k of omber.
Then some idiot came and stripmined the whole system. Now most of them have less then 3k.
It might just be luck but I think this is the feature you're looking for. Why do you think there are gigantic veldspar roids in some deserted empire systems... cause they keep growing
One (more) case where Greed != Good.

As far as I know, this feature was on Sisi for a short periode back in November, but was then removed and never made it to TQ.

No, the feature for Exodus is to give you a chance of a better asteroid spawning - say for example you use up a Veldspar in a 0.8, there'd be a chance of getting an Omber (normally 0.7 or lower), or mining an Omber only to find a few days later you get lucky and a Hemorphite or Jaspet spawns in your 0.6 where it normally would be 0.3/0.2.
That's what hasn't been appearing.
