Since the update that added detected sites to nullsec the prices have collapsed so much that it destroyed wormhole exploration. In nullsec a region is connected so the sites keep respawning close and the increase of sites has offset the loss in value. In wormholes the regions are not connected so this only experienced the loss off value.
At this point it’s really easy to fix though. Either increase the amount of relic and data sites that spawn per class/region or increase the loot by a lot in the sites that spawn in wormhole regions.
Increasing the loot a lot only makes the situation worse by dropping the value of exploration even further.
I think the sov exploration upgrades should never have been added in their current state and that their removal is the better solution.
And I say that as a sov null sec explorer.
I wish to explore space again, not farm the dozens of sigs in my current constellation for far less payout per site than before. These explo sov upgrades have been bad for both the monetary reward and for the fun of exploration.
Their only good aspect was the escalatons which adds new sites and a reason not to cherrypick, hopefully that can be kept for regular explo sites.
Agree with both, also the T2 rig prices are as crazy still. But If they don’t want to remove the upgrades they can fix it by increasing the forementioned and maybe lower spawn rates a little in null to balance it out
