Congrats OP. You're the first person to bring up this problem...
...In the last hour.
Well, if this is encountered a lot (wasn't aware of that many people post about it), perhaps CCP could look into it. It would definitely help new players with their exploration efforts. On the matter of low-sec, I've thought about it, because you can at least fire at them without CONCORD interference, but I'll do the option Seraph Essael provided. Thanks for that Seraph, I'll move systems to a hopefully remote area that hardly anyone visits. And also thanks to everyone else providing feedback and tips. It's appreciated.
It's encountered a lot, but it's not a problem to be addressed. It's a system, that is working exactly like intended. Exploration is a competition sport both in doing the sites and in the loot department. The raw ISK you get from the sites is pathetic compared to other activities, so it's the potential loot drops, that make it at all worthwhile. It's important to stress the point, that no one owns the sites and the final drop belongs to you only when it's in your cargobay. Until that point it's free for everyone to get. As long as you don't act according to this, you're going to be the loser in those races and making terrible threads about how someone else should do something about it, so you don't have to.
Exploration in highsec has some unique peculiarities though. The most important is, that highsec aggression rules mean immediately aggressing the competition isn't an option, so it leans heavily towards speed racing for the final target. There are some occasional fights when people go suspect, but that happens only in a small percentage of total number of sites done. Until you've got the final loot drop safely in your cargobay you need to ignore all secondary considerations and targets. You also need to fit your ship with high DPS and speed in mind. Everything you do to prepare for the sites and your actions in the sites should be filtered through this simple question: "Will this will allow me to complete the site faster?". |
