Flew 47 jumps with 13x transmitters and the rest of the modules. Got home with 2100 x 100.000 ISK thingies and 1 MTU, 1 capital tractor and 5 small tractor BPCs.
Mechanics of event is same as ratting escalations. After numerous drone sites you should be offered an escalation. Also drone anomaly sites wihich you must scan down will both spawn the sentient drove that drops the drone item needed to be turned in for the tokens. Anomalies and escalations will have a higher rate of spawning the sentient drone then the regular sites on probe scan.
Careful if you drop items off at the Upwell structure. They are ganker camped to the max. You will be scanned and blown up when you arrive there. You have to initiate the 'trade' from outside the structure, while vunlnerable.
Haunted Yards absolutely have a chance to spawn a Sentient drone. I'm sure just like all other events and sites, it's not 100%. I did manage to find a Haunted Yard and a Sentient spawned for me. And honestly, small numbers (like just running 2-3 sites) are generally bad sample sizes to pull data from. Also, it's spelled Rogue. Rouge, for those terrible spellers, is makeup.
Make sure to scan for the unrated sites (Chemical Yard/Haunted Yard), as the cans in them have the graviton emitters also. And escalations to chase for more chances.
Found an emitter in rogue drone asteroid infestation yesterday (3/10 sig). Inside crate in last pocket; so might be worth farming/blitzing. Droprate is not 100% tho.
I ran 25 rogue drones anoms in high sec, and only got one sentient spawn that dropped me one emitter, and never saw any cans, and I did several of each of the 3 sites that can spawn in HS. The loot box that I got only dropped me like 20 mil of those loyalty tokens too. ToT
I think they may have got the blueprint drop rate wrong on day one so the loot will be less good now :( I'm probably only going to run signatures and not anomalies from now
Interesting, so these lil sites are going to net us quite a bit of profit long term and this being just the first stage probably means if we save up the materials we can cash them later for 2nd and 3rd stage items hmmm.. might be worth it!
run just over 50 high sec sites .....found nothing , literally not one! its a CCP joke as usual.............random as ever and total waste of game time ....
If this is new fueled customs offices and switches PI from player level to corp level will make it basically impossible for regular players to plex passively.
