If 3/10 drops price for A-Type to about 100 mils a peace, would I be even bothered with Guristas Watch. Sure thing I will not.

Then you're a silly.

100 mil to go to low sec and pop a destroyer, bookmark can, and warp back after despawn? Thats free money. Vigil is the one that's not worth doing (or at least, one must be very careful).

What do the A-type small reps go for and do people go out to low sec for a chance at them?

just calculate the time for expedition (and based on my experience 4 out of 5 drops along the line), get appropriate ship, got to low sec, kill "the overseer", loot (if u a lucky enough to get anything, again 15% drop rate), get back.

Man, for this time, if you know what are you doing, you can make way more than 100M, even in hi sec.

Well, I remeber the time when A-type small SB was about 400 mils. Slowly, prices went up. Why?

I ran this site twice so far, first time I got Pithi A-type SSB plus DG Rocket Launcher, second time only OPE.

I think this loot is seriously unbalanced regarding the difficulty of the site. Before this patch you had to go to lowsec to get A-type stuff and the sites there require a well-fitted/skilled ship, now a 2 week old noob in a T1 cruiser can farm A-types in hisec. I would be very surprised if this won't have a significant effect on the prices.

I understand that CCP wants their new sites to drop good stuff so we get all excited about them but I'd say the maximum a hisec 3/10 should be able to drop is small C-type stuff, that would be in line with the med C-types from the old 4/10s.

this, when I was new to eve I used to do exploration around in sepr space, got onyl armor stuff and didint make any isk from it (since its all like 20mil max)

then I came to my senses and jumped into angel / guritas space.

What I'm worried about is that risk vs. reward of this new Guristas 3/10 is seriously out of line compared to the other Guristas sites.
The old 4/10 is much harder to run, yet the best loot is worth significantly less. (A-type SSB vs. C-type MSB)
The old way to get the same A-type SSBs is to chase escalation chains into lowsec, which is much more difficult than this new hisec plex.
So I think a more balanced reward for the 3/10 would be a C-type SSB.

If so i cry CONSPIRACY!

I love how the Gurista 3/10 conveniently shares the same strength as the 4/10, whilst all the other 3/10s have to put up with a billion K162s and those ghastly Rogue Drone Asteroid Infestations.

Also, I've done the wiki page for the Guri 3/10, and bug reported the DG Irregular's name being glitched.

Went exploring in Sansha space the other night, hit 2 3/10's and 2 4/10's, got 3 escalations (one went to the end) and made half a bill.

Exploration working as intended, thanks CCP:)

Confirming that at the time of this post sig strength is still identical to 4/10.

DED's don't escalate. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean the escalations were from the 3/10s or 4/10s, just to be clear for those that may be confused, DED's do not escalate.

Just ran the Blood Raiders Information Collection Point DED 3/10 complex, equivalent to the guristas one named in OP.

No faction loot, not even a worthless laser crystal.

Highly annoyed.

Also annoyed I'm getting no salvage from these faction wrecks. Not once in over a week. Is this new?
