Quote:Basket of bad theories by Thurken
Allow me to explain:
Quote:It seems they spawn after downtime often. After downtimes at least 2 times new sigantures can appear. They seem to spawn all at once in the constellation. Not one by one
Sites spawn after downtime if their timer has been triggered and has run out. The timer can be triggered by starting a site but not completing it (there may be other ways to start it). After the timer is up, the site will respawn on the next downtime. This is in an effort, I think, to keep sites moving around. I have no idea where you are getting those theories about "at least 2 signatures" or "spawn all at once in a constellation." There's literally no evidence to support that.
Quote:Also If I finish sites, I never saw one respawn immediately in the same constellation. CCP hasn't said yet, where the sites spawn again. I think the completed sites get a flag and get spawned randomly distributed per region on 2-x times a day, all at once in constellations
Sites respawn all day. They can respawn in the same constellation/region but are not limited to do doing so. Anecdotal proof as they could have simply been other Gurista Watches respawning in my path, but I have literally had that site respawn in my route up to 4 times, one system after another. I have also had it respawn in system with me and this is now why I check a system for new spawns prior to leaving if I have stayed to complete some sites (like if there are 2x GSO and 1x GW, I wil check again after leaving as one of those sites may just have respawned in system).
Quote:Sometimes I find a lot of cosmic anomalies stacked in one system. This could be a trace how, the spawn mechanics for CA work. Maybe it's the same for cosmic signatures.
Cosmic anomalies follow the same damn mechanics. Anyone in wh space could tell you this, though there is still some belief in wh space that sites are tied to regions. I'm inclined to believe differently; I think they are tied to groups of regions as, if I recall correctly, wh regions are class specific (A-D regions = Class 1). Now, systems you find with stacks of anomalies OR signatures are systems that simply haven't been touched in a while. These sites have not been triggered and thus their timers have not begun. So when sites respawn and land in that system, they stack up.
