Are USS's Broken in 1.2

So I got a Black Box mission. 3 hour timer. Have been doing these for awhile. Opened up after 1.2 and got a mission for a black box in Kini. I spent the Entire 3 hours stopping at ever USS in the system and the black box did not spawn once. Every uss had single to multiple ships. Anyone else having issues with these?
 
I had similar issues with the Elite Anaconda Kill missions yesterday. I was unable to locate the NPC who tells me where to find the target. Normally I find them after 10 USS at worst. Yesterday I checked over 20 USS without a sign of him. So I abandoned that mission. I dont know if thats a bug or if they reduced the probability of finding the NPC
 
Did you go into weak signal sources or to the regular ones? Strong USS are usually multiple ships as well. I would think that they may have been moved to weak, but more testing will need to be done to see if anything is broken. Hopefully someone else knows a bit more.
 
So it turns out that USS's are not the only source of these missions anymore. I decided to take a chance and go to a weak Signal Source and the Box spawned. Wish there would have been indication that this was going to change.
 
Weak signal source = canisters/wreckage
Unknown signal source = single or small number of ships
Strong signal source = large number of ships (more than about three)

Pretty much what you'd expect from the names. If you go into a strong signal source and there are canisters then ... [video=youtube;4F4qzPbcFiA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4qzPbcFiA[/video]
