Gate rats in nullsec

null rats have always spawned at gates . as you stated … gate camps have always had to deal with them . it’s part of the immersion , not breaking it .

It has never been this many rats before they remove the belts. There are now reliably 2-3 individual spawn groups on gates where as in the past you had rarely one, and if you cleared it it would not respawn within minutes. Whether this is immersion breaking or not is irrelevant compared to the undue problems that this causes for other activities.

Besides, what is really immersion breaking is the lack of asteroid belts in only a portion of the cluster.

it’s a large thread ; you could link the actual post that states what you infer . other than ccp confirming empty belts were removed . where does CCP mention changing spawn rates or locations of null rats ?

It’s only 170 posts, don’t be lazy. But since you are and since you apparently can’t click links and search topics and related topics:

Version 19.03 - Known Issues

I’ll gladly provide a little bit of background and update: The recent patch deployed on Tuesday 13 April included the following change: Removed empty Asteroid Belts that have no asteroids left available. As part of the greater EVE Ecosystem updates dating back to last year, a number of systems in null-sec contained Asteroid Belts that were completely depleted and barren of resources. These Asteroid Belt beacons were the source of some confusion as players would warp to these locations in hop…
