Cleaning up partial relic/data sites

[J0hn_Bolmara]

Many times I will find a relic/data site, warp to it, only to find someone cargo scanned it, got the good stuff and left. This is frustrating. I see that this topic has already been discussed a few times before

Partially completed Relic & Data sites

Relic/Data sites that have had the containers scanned and cherry picked are a major pain as they delay respawning of new sites. While I appreciate that Eve is a sandbox game and pretty much whatever goes, would it be possible to show who has looted a container in similar way to the ‘ownership’ of wrecks? This would still give the option to cherry pick but highlight who the culprits are. This wouldn’t affect roamers as they’re off and away, but it would highlight lazy, shortsighted & greedy lo…

Remove cargo scanning from data/relic sites

With the advent of remotely visible signatures the issue of cherry picking cans in sites can only get worse. CCP devs have mentioned in their last edition of EVE Pulse that remotely seeing signatures was added to prevent new players from wasting time and not feeling rewarded when they go exploring.Cherry picking cans within sites does just that ,makes someone waste time . My proposal is simple remove cargo scanning of data and relic loot cans this way an explorer finding a site will have to do…

my suggestions are either to

• remove cargo scanning from relic/data sites (which was already suggested in 2019, so probably won’t happen)
• or, once the loot at the site has fallen below a certain threshold (1m isk?) expedite it’s despawning
• provide some kind of reward for players who complete the site

All just part of the job. They do already start a shortened timer after the first time they have been warped to. Treat them no differant than the ones that spawn naturally with basically no value.

This is the downside to running sites in populated areas.

Just make the site de-spawn in 5 minutes after any can has been looted and no player is in the site. Problem solved.

It’s not a problem. Again it’s what rewards going into less populated areas of space

There already is a despawn timer, players just need to spread out more.

It’s also a punishment to the local sov holders and local residents from day-trippers, hostile neighbors and other entities not necessarily on friendly terms with locals. This is a perfectly fine and EVE-like mechanic. CCP even introduced this for mining with the C-type mining crystals. Aggressive farming in every way is a gameplay experience in line with the core game principles of EVE.
