I dunno man, I'm getting a lot more reports of people putting in great effort and coming up empty handed. Funnily enough I've heard of more Barghest drops than Garmurs. At least the frigs should spawn more often. Consider this: If the Garmur takes an average of say 20 man hours of searching through hostile LS space it's literally the worst ISK/hour in the game. Even if the ship went down to half the price it is on market today it would still be too expensive to see any real use in PvP. The spawn rates need to go up for the ship to actually be used by lowsec residents for PvP.

We haven't changed the spawn rates of the Mordu's Belt NPCs and they are definitely still spawning.

We may tweak the spawn rates in the future but for now they're the same as they were yesterday.

would be amazed if whoever had the idea to place any importance at all for getting any of these new items from the mordus station actually understood the lengths people go in this game for piracy. Giving the station any usability at all with the mordus ships is a blatant freebee to the powers that control that area of space, as independent mission running from that station is probably one of the most hazardous things to do in pve outside of wormhole space.

I dont see why it should be made easier to obtain these ships with less risk, why do you feel things have to be made easier for people not interested in pvp hazard, when you are trying to obtain pvp ships?

...Are you actually serious? Every other ship in the game, EVERY SINGLE ONE is manufactured from the ground up, mostly from people with no interest in pvp. Why should these have to be any different?

Not actually true at all - virtually everything in the game requires some player to endure some degree of PvP risk.

-Most things you can build require some minerals that are really only found in low or null sec.
-All T2 requires moon materials, only available in .3 or lower, as well as morphite.
-All T3 related materials come from WHs, which involve significant risk of pewpew.
-I'm not aware of any high-sec source for any pirate battleship BPCs, and the cruisers are just barely available via 4/10s (unless that has changed).
-Some BPOs (e.g., barges) only come from null (and resellers).

People who want to build these things, but do not want to deal with the PvP risk, are welcome to buy the materials and blueprints from the market.

Same goes for the Mordus ships.

TL;DR: Bullshit.

Nobody cares that you're "very alarmed" by your own inability to farm mordus LP. That's the very definition of personal problems. Fix it yourself.

I thought that precisely the extreme PvP risk was the charm with the Mordu's ships. Putting them in belts only in lowsec was an awesome idea. But they're not going to be driving much conflict if they spawn so little that only hardcore PvE grinders can find them. Perhaps they should spawn more in systems that see a lot of PvP activity even - rewarding PvP, rather than hours of mindless searching, just a thought.

In any case: the spawn rates are too low. These ships were made for PvP and nothing else. At the moment they're little more than commodities and dust collectors in rich assholes hangars.

Here's my Lowlife article on the matter.

+1 to increasing the rate, i've been in low belt ratting for litteraly all my spare time since the patch,
belt to belt to belt to belt to belt to belt to belt to belt to , nothing.
not even a wreck to show there had been one.
