*The Group normally shows at around 30% signal strength; and the Type around 70%.

*You are normally prevented from opening cans when defenders are near, so combat skills will be needed for sites where NPCs are spawned at the start - cloaked ships especially won't be able to sneak in and take the loot.

*Site quality is also tied to system security, with greater risks come greater rewards

*Pre-Odyssey these were called Gravimetric Sites, they now no-longer require scanning and will show up when you enter a system or undock.

*This site will despawn when it is completely mined or when its 3 day timer expires.

*Gravimetric Sites seem to be the most difficult type of site to scan down. (In K-space, anyway)

*Gravimetric Sites general have asteroids that are not found in the current security level of the solar system.

*The Asteroids will be those that are found in the security level below the current level of the solar system and/or will be larger than normal.

*When spawned each site will have all flavors of each type of asteroid. For example a Small Omber Deposit will have Golden, Silvery, and regular Omber Asteroids in the site.

*NPC Pirates can and do spawn in these asteroid fields~~, but canflippers are uncommon~~.

*NPC Pirates can and do spawn in these asteroid fields.

*~~These~~ sites ~~are not necessarily worthwhile. It may be more profitable to just mine~~ normal belts ~~instead~~.

*As these sites now appear without scanning which can make them as busy as normal asteroid belts.

*There is an emote given in local when you complete (mine out) the site.

*When a site is first found, all the asteroids of that particular site may not be spawned initially. Some spawn over time. This has given rise to an old myth of gravimetric asteroid fields "refilling"; if at least one asteroid is left and not mined in the field.
