I would like to point out that in their current form, magnetometric sites are a waste of time. There is a small chance of getting T2 salvage out of it but the profit is too small for the time invested. I dont know if the zero sec sites are better, but lowsec sites are a joke. After 20+ mag sites which I tried over time, I got a couple of logic circuits besides some T1 salvage which nets less than a lvl 3 mission per site.
I would like to have to explore something else besides plexes and radar sites. Besides, this is quickly and easily done, just some number tweaking. A bit more salvage here and there and some increased chance for T2 salvage and thats it.
The guys who delivered the new DED sites (Team Commie Pinkos?) did a good job, why not finish the work that they started? |

In the upcoming expansion, there should be a boost in the mag sites in low and null sec in the form of increased drops. |

Holyshit, I think this might be the best expansion ever.

I like that you didn't say high sec. Incentivising riskier areas ftw!

Wow great news. I remember being excited about exploration ages ago, getting the skills and trying a few mag sites, as I liked the idea of being a "space archaeologist" - they seemed like such a waste of time I didn't carry on with exploration (radar sites just don't seem to exist at all, I think they're a myth).

Come to lowsec near me, I'll happily give you all my radars and mags - just want someone to clear them out so I don't get excited that there's something worth my time to do.  |

Agreed, though at present highsec mag sites are a waste of server resources. They need *something* to make them more attractive, either more highsec rats so the bounties are at least decent, or a non-salvage drop that makes them worth warping to for reasons other than making them go away. |

there is no bump in high-sec, but as I went through some of the containers, there was some discrepency between the 4 types in each racial variant so I've fixed that.
So i'm sad do dissapoint that there is a slight change in highsec, but it's just a fix, not a boost ;)
hope that is still ok |

Shouldn't Archaeology sites have something Archaeology-related in them? Like, cultural artefacts? Books, holoreels, toys, dead bodies? Doesn't matter if they cost nothing and are useless in production, to find items hinting at lore is at least some satisfaction from running these sites. |

Giving the pvp fits a fieldday allright.
Thing is, carebears in this game are just that, because the gameplay mechanics turn them into sitting ducks. Too bad CCP are pretty bad game designers overall. |

If you do anything get rid of all the god damn wormholes :(
I feel like I'm running missions with an agent who can't remember which system he put the mission in so he just gives you random useless bookmarks and wishes you luck.
EVE PvP reminds me of sex: there is a long build-up often made frustrating by idiots; a semi-tense and semi-fun stretch to get into business that you try to keep quick; an all too short climax where you pray nothing goes wrong, and you're probably going to go home with less money then you started with. |

To what point though? :D
If they double or even triple T1 salvage drops, mag sites still contribute a tiny fraction of salvage compared to all the mission runners. For T2 salvage, I often wonder where all the salvage comes from to make all the T2 rigs that go around since everyone seems so adamant in ignoring mag sites.

Right now if you want salvage your best bet is to scan down a mission runner instead of mag site. |

the salvage for t2 rigs comes from pvp and t2 ship salvaging typically. it's just a slightly different spin on risk vs reward in rarity.

Mag sites should drop faction small/medium/large tower bpcs by high/low/null sec respectively.
Make it happen, get back to me when its done. |

Ooh, I actually really like that idea. Make them properly rare, but make it so that people who do feel like doing Mag sites can find something nice now and then too. |

After 5 or so mag sites I'm up to around 100k ISK, such a lucrative business.

Something we discussed a bit in channel was that:
* Combat sites drop deadspace and faction loot (as do belt rats, anomalies)
* Radar sites drop decryptors (unique to Radars), datacores and Data Interface raw materials
* Ladars drop reactors, BPCs and skillbooks (combat) or gas (mining) (all unique to Ladars)
* Magnetometric sites however, drop T2 rig BPCs, T2 salvage, and T1 salvage, which is available in vastly greater quantities from a stable source: missions.
Is simply buffing the drop rate and/or quantity of salvage going to help that much? |

Ya, Id like to see a chance of T2 BPCs drop (for rigs for example which makes sense).
I would also like to see some type of puzzles, solving which opens coordinates of new locations. You could do so much more with exploration! |

Ive run 2 mag sites in the last day, netted just over 400mill in total, with a breakdown of about 60-40 between the 2 sites. Seem perfectly fine to me. |
