Are RES sites no longer any good for BH?

[Iori]

I've never seen a pirate Anaconda in a RES since the powerplay update.

Well, I took out a clipper and a dropship in the same RES last night, so I reckon they're probably fine.

You have to hang about for a bit sometimes before they spawn. Or fly out from the beacon and do a recce at around 15-20km out.

Really?

Lol

Let's see: Would I rather fight a sidewinder or would I rather fight a pimped Python?

What would you choose?

Yes, myself as well. I'd rather tango with the Python.

How do I get myself a Python to attempt to attain even a semblance of a good fight?

Yes again, I am forced to reset the instance again and and again and again and and again and once more again just to get a relatively decent spawn, and this in what is supposed to be a HIGH intensity RES.

If I'm lucky I get to do what Elite should be providing as a matter of course: Engage in fun combat in an asteroid belt against halfway decent opponents. Too bad that it takes an inordinate amount of teeth pulling just to find these halfway decent opponents.

And the kicker?

When we do 'game the game' in an attempt to establish a good instance, which should be provided in a matter of course but is not, then we are branded with the 'cash-farming' tag?

Tell you what, its all about the fun. The cash is a by-product. I for one really do not need the cash - I have too much already. I do however need the fun-factor that dogfighting in an asteroid belt provides. Question is, why can I not get it as a matter of course. Why should I be resetting instances for half-hour at a time?

Please FD, either get the spawns right or move CZ's into asteroid belts. That would satisfy my gameplay needs as well.

Nailed it. Repped.

I have barely fought inside a RES since Powerplay. It was one of the areas of the game I enjoyed most. Not because of the money (although that was nice), I would play there even if the money was low. The reason I liked it, was because the combat was a lot of fun, and was inside a fantastic environment!

You are spot of with this. We need more areas to fight in than just purely empty space.
