Adrian Kerensky Caldari STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.03.28 18:56:00 - [1] Does anyone know what the chance of a spawn being an officer is when you warp into a belt % wise? I know it's extremely low I'm just interested. What about regular faction spawn? Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes - Devil 258 bytes over!
Petrothian Tong Gallente	Posted - 2007.03.28 18:58:00 - [2] pretty sure is low and random... but yeah, depends on system security if they havnt changed it.. with 0.0 having the best..duh... -Siggi- ""PvP" isn't only direct person to person combat, it can be very indirect.

Motorcycle Emptiness Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.03.28 18:59:00 - [3] Faction spawns are kinda frequent I suppose, i've had about 10 in a few weeks of very light ratting. only drop ammo though Flashing White Box (rank 1)

Officers are a battleship rat with a higher bounty and drop xxx's modified items instead of true sansha for example. Outbreak Killboard

hired goon Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.03.28 19:37:00 - [6] I've lived in 0.0 for 2 years without seeing an officer or faction spawn. If you see them frequently I hope you get face cancer. -omg-

Pirate regions. That is all I have to say about getting them. Chances of getting them are looooow and getting a numerical answer for your question would be very difficult I suppose... I have personally seen (and killed) about 10 officer spawns(1 year in 0.0), most of them in pirate sov regions.

If you see them frequently I hope you get face cancer. hehe ive seen 3 officer spawns of wich 2 didnt drop cans at all and the last one dropped a tag and a standard web and a 1mn mwd..... go figure.

Willawaw Solar Storm	Posted - 2007.03.29 03:16:00 - [9] I was a faction spawn hunter and have amassed a large number of kills in a few years of hunting Dominations and a few True Sansha's. And I have not seen one Officer spawn in all that time unfortunately. And only heard of 2 1 in Tenefiris and 1 in Feythabolis.

Davlos Caldari Omerta Syndicate Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.03.29 05:30:00 - [11] 7-month old player here, been in 0.0 for about four, and I've seen countless faction spawns in Delve, and one officer. :D He dropped the second best Cap Booster and PDU in the game and he netted me a grand total of 2.4bn. So here's a big f***-you to missionrunners who insist that running missions is the one and only way to make money. ---------------

So here's a big f***-you to missionrunners who insist that running missions is the one and only way to make money. You see for mission runners its safe easy and consistant money, more like a day job, what your doing is basically gambling, gambling the chance of spawn and teh chance of getting podded. 2 completely different activities for 2 different types of people.
Rachmat Ardiyanto The Raging Armada	Posted - 2007.03.29 05:49:00 - [13] Edited by: Rachmat Ardiyanto on 29/03/2007 05:51:33 Edited by: Rachmat Ardiyanto on 29/03/2007 05:50:22 I'm also interested with this, is there a way to increase the chance of faction/officer spawn? some people say that killin all rats in the system will increase this chance, is it true?
Davlos Caldari Omerta Syndicate Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.03.29 05:54:00 - [14] Gambling? Nah. I don't gamble. Ever. Not even if it's a game. You'd see me watching * ** before seeing me at a casino. 0.0 ratting is far easier than missionrunning. I don't even need to think of an awesome tank, just a Raven with cheap named mods does the trick. One battleship spawn nets me a total of 2.4m - 3.2m every belt. Killing the trio takes 2-3 minutes at most. That yield is far higher than what L4 missions can ever offer, excluding the waiting time while drywashing your hands and wondering if the retarded agent is gonna stop giving you +5 charisma implants or something miserably stupid. Just take the usual precautions that the smart lowsec missionrunner (this term is a misnomer, missionrunners moan and brown their pants at the thought of lowsec) would take. Make star safespots, align to star while shooting the torps, etc. Most missionrunners just hide in hisec and make their pennies, calling it the best way evar to make iskies. Meh. I'm just unhappy at hisec missionrunning being such a risk-free endeavour. It's bloody out of place in a game where everything one does involves risk. ---------------

So here's a big f***-you to missionrunners who insist that running missions is the one and only way to make money. Missed the target by a wide margin. If you read carefully the people speaking about the "huge" mission runner rewards (and generally asking to nerf them) are for the 90% ratters lamenting that they get less than mission runnersn not the reverse. And most of those ratters don't loot the wreckage as that will lower the isk for hour they get. Go figure . From my limited experience the loot is the best thing in ratting but they lament they are getting a low reward and then don't go for the best part of it.
Sokratesz Paradox v2.0 Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2007.03.29 08:13:00 - [16] Originally by: Rachmat Ardiyanto Edited by: Rachmat Ardiyanto on 29/03/2007 05:50:22 I'm also interested with this, is there a way to increase the chance of faction/officer spawn? some people say that killin all rats in the system will increase this chance, is it true? I've read countless theories on the topic and none seemed to be the definite and all were quite different. I've been in stain, GW and pure blind for quite a few months each and so far have killed about 10 - 15 faction and 0 officer spawns, and i think the total value of items dropped was less then 1 bil.

Jon Hawkes The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.29 08:28:00 - [18] From what I recall, Officers spawns happen at a rate of one per region per day.
Ling Xiao	Posted - 2007.03.29 08:40:00 - [19] Officer spawns only appear in their organisation's Sovereign systems, which is mostly NPC station areas. Faction spawns can appear anywhere a normal spawn of that group appears. __________ If you think the game is rigged, why are you still playing?
xtreamer BURN EDEN Terra Incognita.

Faction spawns can appear anywhere a normal spawn of that group appears. i had an officer in fythabolis thats not an organisation's Sovereign system
Varrakk Chosen Path Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2007.03.29 10:02:00 - [21] They are extremly rare. I've gotten 2 spawns (my 2nd officer today)
Gabriel Karade Nulli-Secundus	Posted - 2007.03.29 10:06:00 - [22] Originally by: Ling Xiao Officer spawns only appear in their organisation's Sovereign systems, which is mostly NPC station areas. Faction spawns can appear anywhere a normal spawn of that group appears. That's not true whatsoever, I've only seen 3 officers in my time, and all three were in non-sovereign territory (though the 'true' security status of the systems was low) ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'
Nocturnal Avenger untaught	Posted - 2007.03.29 10:46:00 - [23] Edited by: Nocturnal Avenger on 29/03/2007 10:42:29 Last summer I found the 18M officer in the Curse region. Loot was about 1B. Two days later the same officer appeared - loot was also about 1B. Since then I participated (or heard about) 3-4 other officers. The time period for all this is about 3-4 months and I ratted several hours each day. Total loot value was 3-4B.
Khirzan Wolfson The Taining corp Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:18:00 - [24] Hell, I been in angel space for years and only found 2 faction spawns and 0 officer spawns..... and what ever happened to those uber sized hauler spawns that would drop 30m trit and all that good stuff.... -Khirzan Wolfson Co-Ceo,The Taining Corp -Corp Public Channel = The T Public -Alliance Public = kos-public
Excesse	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:27:00 - [25] These extreme differences in different people's experiences are down to two things: 1) Chance. 2) Region/Constellation. From personal experience, the best theory around at the moment is that officer spawns are vastly more common in pirate 'home' constellations than they are anywhere else in EVE. Spawns in other locations are possible, but the likelihood probably falls off with some kind of log-based curve. Where I used to live (which I won't advertise) was known as the 'home' constellation of one of the big pirate factions, and someone in the corp used to pop an officer roughly once a week. I only ever got one myself, but they were there alright.
SamtheDog Singularity. The Cartel.	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:37:00 - [26] Edited by: SamtheDog on 29/03/2007 11:36:55 Officer spawns are quite frequent if you search for them enough. Last summer I was getting 2-3/week & netted nearly 30bn in 3 months. It's a term I coined when I'm searching aka "The Officer Hunt" which often nets 2-3 faction rats per session + the occasional officer. One time we got 3 officers & 5 faction rats in less than a 1 hour period. I'd say the statistical chance of a faction rat would be 1/1000 for a faction & 1/10k per officer. There IS a way to get a much higher chance of getting them outside complexes. Some peopel thing that killing off all the spawns seems to do the trick (aka 'priming' a system) but it doesnt' really work out that way. Though I played less during when I was lecturing, I still got around 1/week avg until the past two months where I got nothing but piddly faction rats. Got an officer yesterday netting me around 1.2-1.4bn in isk. They are the best way to get rich in this game if you're not a complex runner. AS for myself, around 62bn & climbing in 1 year.

Ordo Lucius Dark Storm Syndicate Galactic-Federation	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:43:00 - [27] I recently found one in a .6 system. I forget what it was called but it dropped a nice t2 implant, "Slave delta" or something. 40 odd millions worth made from a single rat in .6? Lovely. However, one in nearly two years of playing? Like a blue moon it would seem. "An idiot always wins. Why? Because he's too stupid to realise when he's lost..."
Phrixus Zephyr D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:57:00 - [28] Edited by: Phrixus Zephyr on 29/03/2007 11:55:37 I've killed around 150-175 faction while in 0.0, it's quite easy to find them. Officer's however i've only found one and that was in a 1 belt system in Delve/Querious (i forget which). Damnit Sam, you always did get the officer's and I can't remember how. Convo coming your way! Originally by: Benglada And whos going to tackle for them? Jesus?
DubanFP Caldari Four Rings Myriad Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.29 12:05:00 - [29] I've probebly killed somewhere along the lines of 100 faction spawns during my 10 months in 0.0. "avg of once per day when i do rat, but other days i don't even bother ratting in favor of PVP". I'm yet to see a single officer spawn :-/. ______________________ Interested?
Paia	Posted - 2007.03.29 12:05:00 - [30] Played eve for over 3 years. i rat now and again for sec status and ive never seen an officer spawn.
