Forgive me for a stupid question, but having never run a bunch of missions or complexes I know little about rogue drones. All the ones I've seen are small, frigates would be an applicable to compare. Are there going to be larger drone rats, ie cruiser and BS sized? Warp scrambling rats? Sounds different indeed, however if they drop alloys I could see the new regions being either extremely rich or poor. However, I DO think that a group of players with a lot of bpos (and pos(s)/outpost) could stay out there indeffinately due to it.
They do have BS sizes too- "Infested" Dominixes. The rest, to date, have all been frigates though.

I think most users value getting modules they can use to be more valuable. But getting stuff for riggs might be interesting.
But getting alloys for loot might become a logistical nightmare in regions which don't have stations. Can't refine them in a POS and they take more space than loot (compared to their mineral value at least for the lower end alloys). It will probably not be that interesting to go out and do "ninja-ratting" in those regions since you will only get the rewards if you succesfully transport the stuff out.
You are assuming players wont just *build* stations? I hear that drone droppings will be refinable in POS refiners now- any half decent corp can afford to put up a refining POS.
Also: TomB's alive?! Woo!

The rogue drone idea and compunds only loot is one of the better ideas CCP has put forward to this day. It is perfect for some corps that are self sufficient and build their own stuff while it will be a pain for others to set a foot in the region which has no supply than the own you generate... including safety
Hardcore 0.0 space 4TW thank you CCP :hugs:
Best thing about this? Rogue Drones are the Great Self-Replicating Menice (Replicators, Mantids, Nano-Bots, [insert every grey-goo theory invented here]).From all the hype they get, theres no reason they couldn't "over-run" more regions, getting rid of the masses of bounty'd pirates that so feed inflation.
My vision of EVE would be a universe dominated by the "wild animals" taht are rogue drones, with the various human strongholds dominated by the Empires and pirate factions. A boy can dream

Currently officer spawns ONLY spawns in the factions home region e.g. Stain, Venal, Fountain and Curse. In the non-home regions only Commander spawns spawns.
But what I find VERY annoying is that in Fountain, there is only about 4 stations, and the rest of Fountain is free from Serpentis sovereignity. BUT, in Great Wildlands, there is 3 stations, BUT the whole ******* region is under the sovreignity of Thukker Tribe. It just does not make any sense at all! 
Well if I was to try to fluff up a reason for you: Thukker tribe are meant to be nomadic. Their lack of permanent bases (stations) cannot be taken as an accurate measure of how much of the space they "use" and so claim as their territory. Serpentis, on the other hand, is a drugs cartel- they have no reason to have much presence outised of the space they use for their factories / bases.
Doesn't mean its not silly though
