Also the spawnrate is increased the better the truesec is. So there you go. I knew there was a good reason I was training a Thanny alt. |

I have had 5 officers and every single time i was in a pvp ship not ratting. All were in npc home regions (where they can spawn in any system) |

An ISD once mentioned that the number of belts in the system is a factor, the more the higher the chance for spawning... Forum-unbanned since 2011.10.20. |

Chaining is busted. Sometimes you do kill 3 BS rats and come back to 3 new BS rats, but you are just as likely now to come back and find 1 BS or a couple cruiser rats, or the frigs warped off and you got a whole new spawn. |

The Farming article on the wiki, gives some in formation on how to get special spawns, the Belt rat spawns and Rat also has some useful information.
Even if you do everything the right way, you chances of getting a officer spawn is really small.
"You could expect to run into officer spawn for every 20 to 40 faction spawns you find. Thus chance for officer is about one in 400 to 2000 cleared spawns, at least in good 0.0 space." GÇ£The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time, and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.GÇ¥-á |

Find a quiet system with a ton of belts, and start clearing belts. Everything must die in every belt and continue going down the list until you see an officer.
Personally, I would try to get into a low-sec or nullsec system to do it. |

Well it would be right if he meant there is more chance of an officer in a system with more belts as there are more spawns that could possibly be officers. It makes no difference to the chance of a particular spawn being an officer though.

I have literally ratted for 12 hours straight today with dual ratting 1000dps machs tearing thru the belts and the best I've found was two hauler drops. I used the chaining method too. I was in a -.9 nullsec space too.
There have got to be other ways to gain a better chance of getting an officer drop. I use to rat extremely often in the past and I still have never seen a single faction or officer drop in a belt ever in my life.
Also note I'm the ONLY person in the system this whole 12 hour period.
What are you doing exactly? Most times you leave leave the smaller ships taking out the BS and if you come into a belt that spans no BS you only clear it then. So if it has a BS you take it out leave the rest and if it spawns with no BS you clear it. Still with this method those drops are rare, hauler drops are nice though. Worse part is somone comes in and jacks up your method.
Good luck |

Moar accounts spam entire systems in null space region with yout alts, call alts like cam1 cam 2 cam3 etc, use them like camera with cloak, also you may buy multiple monitors to better view
I know guy who got two oficer long time ago, in two day period with total 12bil isk loot... what a lucker. |

Don't think you can get officers in sanctums or anons (not 100% mind on this) but yes I have seen faction rats in havens and sanctums. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

I am not 100% certain how it works but what I have herd is since it percentager based that the more people you have ratting in the region the better your chance of getting a drop. |

Right lines but as it is chance based the more rats killed will just increase the chances of an officer. Not to to with the amount of people per say just the amount of kills. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

To be honest I'm unsure I tried with a pimped Tengu and I think I would have managed but it would have taken me around 20mins to kill him, I jumped my carrier on him and he died fairly quickly, something that does 1000dps or over I'd imagine God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

Right lines but as it is chance based the more rats killed will just increase the chances of an officer. Not to do with the amount of people per say just the amount of kills. More kills = more chances but I think sometimes it is just pure luck. Had one chap who had been ratting all day, I'd just logged in and flew to a random belt and suprise suprise first belt first rat was an officer. Result! The other chap wasn't too pleased I can tell you. Farming 6's in gurista space will net you more than officer drops ever will.
you were so lucky that day.... |

Yes it was but I have tried with a HAM fit as well which was alot better but still took me 6 or 7 minutes to kill him. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |
