I am interest in knowing which kind of exploration sites "scenarios" you have found.
Post:
- name of complex - found in which security rating - difficulty - Found items/structures. - Any other comments about the site you found
Please keep other discussion out of the thread please. I am looking to get some data on what has been found so far, no general chatting

I found:
1. Easy complex (0.0)... after i killed all rats my Journal blinked - Expedition at 6 gates... There i found 6 corporate hangars who shooted me with 600-1200 damage :) Nothing, nothing valuable
2.Hidden belt with 25 bistot roids (100 units each bleah) - i'm wondering who the hell will sert up a POS there to mine 25 small roids...
3.Another complex - looks like 8-10/10. No expedition, NO LOOT. One single batllestar structure and ofcourse WITHOUT VALUABLE LOOT.
After 1 day of exploration i'm wodering if this is a joke...or i just have no luck!
P.S Only thing i earned in this time was some like 100 salvaged items. Donno if is good or bad...

I was part of a group who ran a Serpentis Luxury Lodge exploration complex today. The difficulty of the deadspace area was far greater than a 10/10 and we greatly enjoyed it! Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that there wasn't the normal journal expedition entry at the end of the run nor was there any loot beyond normal rat loot (The asteroids weren't even able to be mined). We did loose a ship given it was so difficult (A good thing!) but we'd expected at least some reward at the end.
I petitioned requesting if this was "working as intended" and the kind GM suggested that I post it here for player/dev review and included my petition in his shift notes.
As for the difficulty, there was easily over 100 battleships alone and hundreds of NPC's in total. The space-scape was outstanding with huge, erupting ion fountains (for lack of a better description) and after destroying the Luxury Lounge a very large electrical cloud remained in it's place.
While the mission was a blast, the lack of any form of faction loot or journal entry was a bit dissapointing. -----------------

Edited by: Ashvul on 07/12/2006 20:07:16 seems to be a major problem with dropping loot. I killed 3 overseers in different exploration complexes and NONE of them dropped any loot (one was an overseer structure).
edit: we also found a hacking complex, but as soon as we hacked the second can there was a node crash and the plex was gone when we got back.

How does one find these exploration sites or exploration complexes? Is this the exploration tidbit they were talking about and the new probes are used for?

how do you know it was a hacking plex? did it have containers like in the empire cosmos ones or something?

Not sure what the name was (how can you find the name?), but it was a 2 stage plex equivalent to a lvl1 mission, save for the single cruiser in the 2nd room. 2 or 3 serps spawned, and the next bunch when they were killed. The next bunch was 100km away at least, every single time... There was a "spaceshuttle wreck/with debree" there in the first room which looked promising, but didnt drop anything...
I'm not sure what is needed to "complete" the mission...
No expedition afterwards.
This was in a 0.6 system and i found it on the second probe i ever fired , took another probe to nail the location tho...
No good loot or salvage.... Isn't it great being a skill collector?

Edited by: Tassill on 08/12/2006 01:48:16 I have found 2 x a drone harvester plex (how do i find out the name of the plex?) which has 2 sections the second section has unstable worm holes and a ruined station. Imo if i am doing it right its not worth running was very easy to run no real challange and hasent moved or respawned in about a week.
Also found a serpentis ruins sight, which had containers openable with analyser modules. It gave about enough salvagable items to build 3 rigs and didnt take long to do. all in 0.0

Did you need any special skills with the analysers or just the basics?
Enough salvagables to build 3 rigs is a LOT of ISK!!!!

Analyzer I is the equipment used with Archeology. Considering they dropped the Salvaging requirements to Survey (asnd Mechanic 3), it's sort of fair the people with Survey 5 (Archeology's prereq) get some advantage out of it.

Edited by: Yonos on 09/12/2006 10:44:15 I have found a couple of deadspaces so far. All bad loot. Some appear to be pre-nerfed, bugged, and not even completely programmed or thought out.
The following were all in 0.0. One I just found called Independence had a bunch of ruined drone structures but no npcs or cans. I blew up one structure to see what would happen. Took forvever to blow and when it did not only did nothing drop, after the explosion the structure RESPAWNED so there were two of the same thing on top of each other. Really lame.
I have also found a belt, an 8/10 2 stage equivalent complex, an easy 5/10 battlecruiser/trigger nephilims. The 5/10 gave me an expedition to called Toxic Waste Scandal 5 jumps away. I went to it and it said that some silos were releasing toxic waste and hurt ships. The silos were doing 300 to 600 damage to me...I blew em up. Only drop I got was some livestock.
I really want to find a hacking complex but no luck so far. Terrible loot, hopefully the Wed patch will revamp exploration.

Guristas Lookout
found in a 0.7 system two deadspace pockets and only let upto destroyer sized ships in 3 cruisers in first pocket 25 frigates (respawning weak belt rats after clear out) second pocket 2 cruisers (one angel) and 10 frigates
Nice to look at and a total waste of time to do anything else with. Minimal loot, poor salvage. Killing structures yielded nothing, not even the overseer.
On further inspection first pocket showed 3 Hemo roids and 8 jaspet roids, all tiny. Second pocket had 10 omber roids also tiny.
Remember barges and haulers are not allowed into this area so all mining would be by destroyer including hauling. I couldnt be bothered tbh for the tiny amounts but I just wanted to give a complete report.

Edited by: Elena Lanfear on 09/12/2006 13:21:10 Edited by: Elena Lanfear on 09/12/2006 13:17:33 I have found so far:
1) A tiny complex in 0.5, only ships up to AF allowed, 2 Stages, worst Enemy was a cruiser. Nothing valuable to loot, but the salvage ratio was ok (20 enemys -> 15 Salvage drops)
2) A Pocket without an entrance gate in 0.4 (so i visited it in a BS), worst Enemy was again a Cruiser, 6 hacking cans, a Battlestation without loot and a Forcefield, guarding 2 of the cans. Did 10 hacking attempts before i had to go to bed. 9 failed, the last one dropped an item worth nothing.
Ahh, forgot: The second "Complex" despawned as soon as we logged off.

I found a deadspace acceleration gate.
Warping in, a bunch of rogue drones attacked me. There were two waves. There was a Beacon in the complex but it didn't seem to do anything. Loot was equivellent to a LVL 1 Rogue Drone mish. I wasn't even able to recoup the cost of the probes I used to find the structure.
Complete waste of time.

I had exactly the same one I think and in a system with the same security rating. One odd thing though, the first level had Guristas + Blood raider ships, the second had guristas + a few Angel ships. Both where dominated with guristas ships, i killed them all, wanted to come back with my ore scanning ship I had docked in another system. But when I returned the complex was gone :(. I dont know if it was because of me docking or me being in another system or both, but I bet killing them all is not a good idea if any mining needs to be taken place!

Found 4 so far , the last 2 was in same system and i found them in first scan of the system
Firts was a easy archangel deaspace (3/10 - 4/10 ) 2 level , no good loot or salvage . Second one had a 'Hidden warp gate" not a normal one like first complex .Same 2 lvls of complex , almost nothing good loot , the complex lvl was around 8/10 , about 12 BS at first lvl same in second , some buildings there too , took me a lot of time to destroy them and nothing loot . So spend a day and didn't make any profit :((

So has anyone found one with good rewards? It seems somewhat suprising that all of them sound pretty sucky so far. Hopefully this is part of what the next patch is going to fix.

have found 2, both in .8 systems (I'll even say systems since they vanished next day after I cleared them)
in Tasabeshi a small 2 room gurista plex, not sure of a size limit, went in with a Nighthawk and this was serious overkill since only saw frigates
in Inaro a group of 37 misc omber roids. 3 rogue drones spawned while I mined it out (hey omber in cal space how could I pass that up!)

I've been probing around in Sansha space, found nothing worthwhile, all Sansha ecounters similar to what others have described in this thread. I alot of enounters repeating itself over and over, and I suspect there are probably only around 15 or so out there at the moment, nowhere near the '250' varied exploration sites (or encounters) that was mentioned over and over by the DEVs before Revelations.
All in all, a waste of time.

Well there was the one guy who got all the rig components. That's quite worth it in my opinion. I have also heard of some friends who found a bistot belt with like 25 roids in Curse. Guess it just sucks that the plexes are pointless. _____________________

Edited by: Sprobe on 15/12/2006 02:35:00 we just found a escalation exploration site called minor blood annex.
it was cool to fight, but not very rewarding besides normal loot and slavage from battleships.
the first 2 stages ended by destroying a cathedral and the "priest" (I clal it like that because I forgot his name). It was really nicely done and setup and we expected at least some kind of cool loot (several waves of BS before that in stage 1 and 2, and support).
After that we were sent from 0.4 to 0.3 7 jumps away were we needed to destryo missle sentries and multiple BS (1 hour timer). When we destryoed the "POS" tower there, we got another message telling us to fly into 0.1 (!) and there was another mining site with lots of drones. The mission took us 6 hours to complete (basically 1 and 0.5 tanks and 3-4 damage dealers) and I believe that some kind of faction loot would have been appropriate .. or anything at all!
There was no rewarding loot, although I need to admit that I haven't had fun like that for a very long time. But reading all your postings my motivation is wearing off.. ATM it is cool and fun, but it should be more rewarding.
I believe that the loot table isn't working properly. And I really would like to hear a dev say: 'guys, you only know the tip of the mountain, there are tons of special rewards for exploration, keep looking for it'
Or I'd love to hear: 'OMG you are receiving no special loot for doing these exploration sites? That's not supposed to be like that, let us fix it immediatley'
Whatever the answer is, both work for me. Now let's find a dev who wants to say something to it

*weee* After finding around 7 Complexes and some hacking/arch site today, i just found a Serpentis Hacking Site in 0.4 Space 5minutes ago and looted:
Incognito Data Interface 2-Run BPC and several Datacores
The Site was quite small (50km diameter) with 4 frigates & 3 cruisers in it, but when getting near a container, some more waves spawned, like 2 cruisers 4 frigs per container, so no big deal)
But where did I put my gallente skill ... Anyway, Invention: I'm Coming!
So Folks out there: It IS worth the time, if you just put enough effort in it (btw: was a serpentis but found it with RADAR for those who wanna know)

Edited by: franny on 15/12/2006 06:03:19 found 3 signals when I was on, 2 I couldn't scan due to lack of probes vs time(ie the probes were still building while I was awake)
found an 'unknown' - scanned it down, found a blood raiders complex(forgot to note the name, i'll poke Errol see if he noted it) and ran it with a corpmate it let in BS's, wouldn't let in my alt's viator, it had 2 stages, maybe 15 BS's total, no real loot, so either I was late and someone beat me to it, or it sucked ass what was there was soloable in a domi w/t2 hvys
didn't see it escalate
hopefully I find something something cool over the weekend, cause so far it sucks, I could make more ratting in the same domi

- Complex name : Gurista's Fortress(System sec is -0.75) - difficulty : 6/10 to 7/10 - Found items/structures : No decent loot, a few structures to destroy or not destroy unsure. - Had this one twice now and both times loot was underpar.
- Complex name : Gurista's Provincial HQ(System sec is -0.85) - difficulty : 7/10 to 8/10 - Found items/structures : No decent loot, a few structures to destroy or not destroy unsure. - This one was fun with an unexpected surprise, still reward was minimal.

Nice! Did you get the components to make the data interface as well? According to the item database (check eve.coldfront.net) you need some special components to make it.
For some strange reason there are only a few of the interfaces which have bps published.

Regarding roids with 100 units ore each: this is a known bug in Revelations that also happens in regular belts. Asteroids sometimes do not grow back past 100 units. It's quite frustrating really.
