Convoy Dispersal Patterns

Need to have their spawn rates reduced by at least 80%.

14 hours, 27 systems, 429 Convoy Dispersal Patterns, 119 Degraded Emissions, 67 Combat Aftermath, 29 Encoded Emissions, 21 Weapons Fire Detected, 14 High Grade Emissions, 2 Distress Calls.

Care to guess what sort of signal I've spent pretty much an entire day looking for?

Yep, Distress Calls.

Deep space, Shipping Lanes, doesn't matter.

Something needs done about the plague of worthless Convoy Dispersal Patterns.
 
Yep, have to agree the % need adjusting. Combat aftermath and encoded didn't use to be a chore to find. Though usually weapons fire is another USS that occurs too frequently for me.

Why are you looking for distress calls?
 
In systems with Civil unrest and lockdown?

30 minutes in Lockdown System:

Weapons Fire Detected: 4
Encoded Emissions: 1
Convoy Dispersal Pattern: 9
Combat Aftermath: 1
Degraded Emissions: 2

30 Minutes in Civil Unrest System:

Weapons Fire Detected: 7
Degraded Emissions: 1
Convoy Dispersal Patters: 9
Combat Aftermath: 4
Encoded Emissions: 1

A few reasons... first, I'm a nice guy who likes to help people in trouble, even artificial people (NPCs). Secondly, I'm flying around with a Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller, a full tank of fuel, and a cargo hold ripe with limpets. Third, because Distress Calls are not always Distress Calls, sometimes they're pirate ambushes, and the Threat Level 4 ones have a chance of spawning in a pirate-controlled capital ship, and I really want to blow the crap out of one of these, because I haven't done so yet.

Weapons Fire I would fully expect to see higher levels of in Anarchy and Low Security systems, systems in a state of Civil Unrest, Civil War or War.
In Medium or High security, I'd expect to see fewer.
