When a site is despawned in one W-system, it appears in another system in the same W-constellation. Thus occupied/farmed W-systems tend to reduce in sites over time, especially when other W-systems in the same constellation are idle. Sites only despawn if they are cleared or someone warps on-grid (after a despawn timer) - so that fat W-system you found has probably been untouched for some time, randomly accumulating sites from other more active W-systems in its constellation. Oh, and my home C2 had 31 sigs and 30 anomalies when we found it :) It's now down to 15 or so grav sites and no anomalies. Aaaaaahhhhh.

(12 Anomalies, 8 Signatures, 2 of which are wormholes.) Unfortunately due to the server issues last night I only managed to clear out the three mag sites, which was still quite profitable as I got about a dozen Malfunctioning items.

The system I settled was also heavily populated when I first set up, however it declined rapidly. Recent spawns have been reasonable and have included all site types including two mag sites spawn on the same day in the last week.

I look forward to learning more about the mechanics involved. This is excellent research. I look forward to learning more about the mechanics involved.

I'd love to see the pirate factions migrate their rats away from systems where they're being slaughtered on an hourly basis. Start making people go into all that empty space on the map.
