With the Phoebe release, to be published on November 4th, we are going to improve the relative value of Data Sites, add valuable information to structures in deadspace sites that might spawn an Expedition when being destroyed, and streamline the Career Agent mission descriptions.
Additionally to those improvements we are also going to fix defects associated with Expeditions.
Read all about those changes and improvements in CCP RedDawn's most recent blog All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter - Data Sites, Expeditions!

We hope that you like these changes and as an addition to the devblog, I can also add that we've upped the spawn frequency of the Besieged Covert Research Facility as well.

Do the Exploration Changes also appear to WH Datas and Relics or will theses items only be added to K-Space Sites?
What about the Null Sec Sites added to C1 - 3 Wormholes. What kind of loot do they include? Sleeper or Faction loot?
The WH Class 1 to 3 sites are identical to the null sec sites currently encountered and they have the new loot included.
So that should answer both questions.

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
Team Space Glitter, the true heirs to the throne of Gondor and Arnor.

I've sometimes done 30+ jumps, in order to do a chain, sometimes over different regions.
Simply to much work, compared to doing a simple ded site, where you dont have to move an inch'
You can always expect to be brought to a different region, when you're doing non ded sites, i'm not sure what this accomplish, other than being a pain, since these sites tend to do way way more time than they should.(especially compared to the loot they give)
So.. Maybe change the mechanics, so we can expect to stay in the region?
We're currently in talks regarding the Escalation distances. If anything changes we'll let you know.

It's very subjective to be sure, but we're trying to make it easier for the new players to 'cut to the chase'.
We haven't forgotten about the lore though that's for sure. It needs as much love as the rest of EVE.

This is something that we're aware of and CCP Ytterbium will be keeping an eye on this in the foreseeable future.

Bienator II wrote:what is the use of all those faction materials?
one reason why i don't do expeditions is that they usually end in nullsec (esp if you start them in low). And since this usually involves swaping ships and clone it is simply too much of an time commitment if you add all the jumps and sites you have to do to reach the end of an expedition in null security space.
one way of fixing it could be to increase the expiration date for expeditions. Make it 7 days or so and i would not care about the fact that they bring me to null ;)
We're looking into the expiration dates with them as well with the thoughts of increasing them.
Any further changes will be announced in this thread and the release day patch notes of course.

Yes, I like the changes very much, thank you :). After reading the blog, one thing has me puzzled. The list of added faction specific loot (assuming it will drop based on which faction space the site spawns) is missing Sansha items. Does that mean there will be no faction specific drops from data sites in Sansha space?
For the Sansha sites I've boosted the drop potential of other items to accommodate this.

Will those sites spawn independently from normal wh spawn mechanic or will sites there just spawn from larger poll?
Adding the null sec sites to the WH distribution lists just means that there will be more sites in these WH classes.

Ah, I didn't realise that was what you meant by that line. Will the details of the rebalance be made public or will it be left for players to discover what's changed?
I'd imagine that most of the details will come out but spoilers aren't great.

Obsidian Hawk wrote:Hey I have one thought,
Don't tell people which structure to shoot honestly. It's that inability for people to actually use the EvE Wiki, which tells people to shoot, that seperates the good explorers from everyone looking to just run the site and leave. I have come in on a lot of sites that were just cleared but the escalation trigger was never done.
You cant spoon feed exploration, this is supposed to be a profession that makes people think.
But while you are balancing, could you add rats back to data sites? There is no risk with a lot of the exploration sites especially in high sec. Since you are adding in more loot with better rewards the risk needs to be raised more.
We've not put the messages in all the 'parent' sites. Just a few to see how it goes for now.
As for the reintroduction of the rats. Maybe later on but not for the current Phoebe release.

Does this remove / reduce the chance, of getting escalations into new regions? Reason im asking, is because before it seemed that no matter what it seemed an escalation always led into another region, regardless of range. t
This will reduce the chance but not eliminate it.

Please please please keep the drops of Science skill books rare so that they don't flood the market. We don't need more Encryption Methods books.
They are only be present in the tier 3 and 4 containers. (Mainframes and Databanks) and have a rare drop rate. So hopefully that alleviates your worries.

We are getting quite close to release now and unfortunately, I have yet to conquer my need to sleep at least 6 hours a night ;) I will keep this in mind though, we have a lot of NPCs that could use a rebalance not just these boss ones. However, my team are working on improving our NPC authoring tools at the moment and hopefully in the near future we can take on a bigger rebalance task.

Spawn paths have not been adjusted, so that means that the same expeditions will still occur from the same dungeons to keep things familiar.
I'll have a look through the sites now for the MWD issue and fix them as I go.

One of the things we have on our list is to allow fleet commanders to warp the fleet into the expedition. This could be an addition to that. No guarantees though for Phoebe but it's on our backlog.

I'll have a look through the sites now for the MWD issue and fix them as I go. Nice, thank you. But actualy I was reffering to the escalations from anomalies, like refuge, den, hideaway. These escalate into rated DEDs. Do you tamper with these also ? Like increasing the chance of getting them ? PS. Oh and please don't forget to also increase the completion timer of the Serpentis and Angel 6/10 expeditions (Angel Mineral Acquisition Outpost - Part 2 and Serpentis Logistical Outpost part2 ) .Sometimes It's a pain that i have only 1 day to finish it up, because I am not allways prepared to go to null sec to complete it. And if possible fix it so that if you get a DED 4/10 from a high sec Anom you won't be sent to low sec. There is no loot in a 4/10 I want so bad that I will go to low sec to get it.
During the changes to the system jumps required to continue expeditions, we've also removed the code that forced expeditions to occur in lower sec systems than you received them in.
Thus, expeditions will check all systems within it's radius.
Edit: Upping the completion timer is something on our backlog but will not be released with Phoebe.
(Initial design is to increase it to 48 hours)

Edit: Upping the completion timer is something on our backlog but will not be released with Phoebe.
(Initial design is to increase it to 48 hours)
Why 48hours? Does increasing the timer more cause problems? You clearly feel 24 hours isn't a high enough value. Did you come up with compelling reasons not to increase it to the level every other PVE content has or did you not have any actual design behind the number chosen and you just chose a slightly longer timer at random because we kept asking for an extension? The choice just seems inconsistent without a reason from a player perspective, so I'd be interested in knowing why CCP sees it at the sweet spot for this particular content.
I want to reiterate that this is just the "initial design"... nothing is set in stone regarding the increase of Expedition timers as of yet.
As for the reasons this specific length of time was mentioned is due to a particularly bad exploit that was severely abused by players which we are obviously not very eager to re-introduce.
