Scanning:Scan Results

This page will mainly deal with Gravimetric sites discovered through Exploration.

General Exploration Points

• The more difficult a site is to scan down, the better the site will be.
• There is a specific ammount of each type of site.
• The amount is constant.
• When a site is completed it spawns somewhere else almost immediately.
• Sites have a 3 day timer, if they are not completed within that time they despawn at the next server downtime and will spawn somewhere else.

Gravimetric Sites

• 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. Example: Low sec asteroids will be found in high sec gravimetric sites.
• I have not heard of gravimetric sites in 0.0 security systems.
• 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.
• It is unusual to have can tippers in these fields. (Notice I said unusual, not never.)
• I have mined gravimetric sites, especially the more difficult to scan down sites; for hours without another person ever entering the site.
• The above statement does not include anywhere near the university, since many there are trained and do scan down sites regularly.
• The value of these sites are questionable. It may be more profitable to just mine Veldspar and sell it; rather than mining the specific ores needed for manufacturing.
• There is an emote given in local when you complete the site. (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.
• The above has given rise to an old capsuleers tale of gravemetric asteroid fields "refilling"; if at least one asteroid is left and not mined in the field.
• When initially spawned, the asteroids in many gravimetric sites have a very round number of ore. For example a Golden Omber asteroid might have 18,000 units of ore. This is not always true for all sites.
