Hi,
I'm trying to do start doing Exploration sites because I've become so bored of missions.
I can find sites but when I warp there, there is absolutely nothing there - just empty space.
Does this mean that someone else already completed the site?
Thanks, |

I'm guessing you found an anom that didn't despawn correctly, so the answer is yes

Hmm, then it seems that nothing ever de-spawns at all. I only ever find empty sites, which is just a cruel waste of time.
It's the same with signatures (Radar, Magnetometric) and anomalies (combat sites).
Is there anyway to tell if a site has already been cleared?
Or is there anything I can do to help ensure that I find a site before somebody else? |

Radars and Mags despawn as soon as someone finishes them. It's strange that you're managing to scan them down to 100% and they're gone by the time you're done warping to them. How long does it take you to probe down a signature? |

Yes, that is odd. I've been doing exploration sites in the busiest hi-sec systems just to get used to the mechanics, and I certainly haven't had those problems. |

I had a couple yesterday that should have despawned (I clear them, but then came back for the wreck) but they didn't. Might be a minor hiccup going on in game.

This has been going on for the last week. Every day I find 4 or 5 sites but they are all empty.
It doesn't take me long to scan a site to 100% - probably between 5-15 minutes each.
I'm using a Cheetah (Covert Ops - Level 4) and Sisters probes (not launcher).
Astrometrics 4 Acquisition 3 Rangefinding 3 Pinpointing 3 Hacking 3 Archaeology 3
I scanned sites to 100% in Abudban, Alakgur, Dammalin, Osoggur, etc.
I've even started warping to the site immediately (without changing ship) but still nothing. Sometimes I get the dialogue pop-up about the gate key and commander etc. But there is no gate key. There is no gate. There is no commander!
I've tried coming online right after the server reboot when the US is asleep but it didn't help.
Even if you find something, you actually don't :( What am I doing wrong? |

This is not what I consider "fun". What am I doing wrong?
Weekends are notoriously bad in high sec. I run Minmatar space and did quite well this weekend though with no empty sites.
I hope you have petitioned and emptied your cache....

Hmm? No. Sorry, I don't understand. Would that help? I can't think of any reason why exploration sites would be cached on the client-side.
My character has quite a few SP but I've never been a very active player - so I'm still a complete noob regarding many aspects of Eve.

I think it was a bug - hopefully fixed now:

I explore in these exact systems, and always finding empty sites is definitely a problem with the game or on your end, because i rarely find empty sites, infact 2 jumps from abudban i left 2 mag sites for an hour and came back to them and still ran them.
However, 5-15 minutes per site to get them to 100% is a LONG time, if it is actually that long, you need to probe differnetly or something, watch some guides and use the 5 probe cross method.
I don't mean to be offensive but two things come to mind, 1) there is a bug that is causign this for you or 2) you are warping to the wrong thing somehow. You are right clicking and selecting warp to signature (something like that) right from the scan menu right? It sounds like you are doing it correctly since you get pop up windows.
if this continues and you are sure you are correctly warping I'd petition. |

5-15 minutes per site is long BUT if he's warping to the site as soon as he gets it to 100%, it should still be there. If the site has despawned he wouldn't be able to finish scanning it to 100% :P
And if you're getting the popup and there's no acceleration gate etc when you land out of warp... then that is rather strange yes.
Perplexing :) |

I have not been playing so much lately, but haven't noticed anything unusual since the patch. I've run several ded sites in empire with no issue (aside from crap loot from overseers ).
Maybe, MAYBE, you're ship doesn't have much cap and isn't making the full warp? Crazy I know, but it can happen. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'. |

Actually this would explain the empty space....

At least you're finding sites, No kidding now, the last SEVENTEEN SITES I have probed down in several systems spread many jumps apart have ALL BEEN WORMHOLES.
Absolutely doing my head in, I'd be happy with any other kind of result.
Empty system with four signatures? Four wormholes.
I just came back to EVE after a few months away, been probing since probes were first introduced and I always really enjoyed it but it just feels really worthless now, invested hours for no return at all. At least mining I'd have made some isk. Nobody buys WH bookmarks anymore.
Perhaps null-sec scanning is different but as I'm not currently in a corp that's not something available to me. |

Don't even bother trying...when you do eventually find that coveted 4/10 or watch it will already have been completed 5 minutes before you found it because every system in high sec has 85792341098341 people in it.
Also, this is during non peak hours. |

A couple of questions that might help solve your problem:
Are you scanning with a MWD online on your cheetah? The cap penalty could cause you to not be able to warp all the way to sites in some of the larger systems.
Also, where in the system are you scanning from? Most people warp to sun / top planet to scan from the middle of the system, but if you're scanning from where you jumped in and also running with the cap penalty from a MWD, it could exacerbate the problem of not having enough cap to warp long distances to sites.
Hope this helps |

Yes. You should all give up and stop looking for those sites. And I'm not just saying that so that i can get them ALL. ALL OF THEM. MINE!!! |

Not sure about the Cheta, but I remember that the Probe was notorious for this problem. When doing autopiot I would watch it's cap fail part way through warp at least 20% of the time trying to cross systems. |

There is no MWD.
Anyway, why would I get the dialogue pop-ups etc. if I hadn't even warped far enough?
And I just scan from near the jump gate. |

You will get a pop-up when you initiate warp, it doesn't matter if you actually go there or stop your ship or don't make it the full distance. |
