Data Scans reduction in results

Maybe anecdotal, however anyone else feeling/experience a drop in data hits when scanning ships in either normal space or supercruise?
Scanned almost 50 ships in one session with 0 hits.
Currently in a CZ and getting 1 or 2 very infrequently

Yes I do. Data drops from ships is definitely less common now than in 2.4. Previously, I was able to get 30+ ASPA and DED from one HazRES sortie, with good spawn of medium and large high-ranked pirates. Now I barely get any data. Same goes with supercruise, Isinor Convoy Beacon and other locations.

When you say "0" hits, do you mean that you get no results at all after a scan? I am still getting results, but they tend to be all the most common of common wake based data. All my wake scan based data are at capacity with the exception of Data Mined Wake Exceptions. So what I am getting constantly is the Data Capacity Exceeded message, which informs me that whatever it was wasn't the DWEs I would prefer. :)

DWEs definitely seem to have dried up compared to a few weeks ago.

Good I'm not the only one. Just did scans of CZ's and didn't get a single material scanning all the combat ships. Not even a basic Untypical Shield Scans, just nothing. I thought something was off, and just came across this post. I have been scanning ships since yesterday to get Abnormal Compact Emission Data and was getting decent return rates of scanning mats, but as of 3.0.3, I've gotten nothing...

The OP I think is talking about ship scanning and not wake scanning. That's where I'm having the same issues is ship scanning. Wake scans seem fine. Though not every wake scan is producing either as of 3.0...

Yes, basic scans pop many, many fewer results than before.

It feels like a bait and switch. FD dramatically increase our data storage, and allow us to trade mats, but now that I can do those things, I am receiving many fewer materials.

I suggest you post this in the bug forum.

I got 0 data hits (blue message top right), then a couple after that. It's very low in my experience. Quick tip - if you max out then nip to a mats trader and start shifting stuff from left to right ensuring you have just enough on the left to satisfy any engineering needs. This way you gain higher grades for free rather than seeing those exceeded messages. You'll fill up all 5 levels in what 1,000 years or something? :)
Eg, I need 80 of g1 to satisfy my 7 main ships - anything higher than that trade to g2 - again, keep g2 to around 80 - trade the rest up.....etc.

Yep that's the one. Been in a CZ all eve - have been getting g1s a couple of others - would have though 10 classified scan fragments would have been achieved by now!
Also - why no cutters/condas in High Intensity CZ? yes, have left and come back to the CZ many times., even out to main menu and back.

There was already a bug report, as I remember adding to that thread a couple of weeks ago. I've also noticed a near complete absence of ship scan data since 3.0, like sometimes 50 scans in a row without return. It seems however to be intermittent, and once in a while I am back to old returns for one instance. Change instance, and it's back to nearly nothing. Perhaps the intermittent nature is making it harder for them to track down, or even reproduce the problem at their end.

Thanks for confirming I've not gone do lally :-D
I'll raise it as a bug - although the other 2 bugs I raised hadn't been looked at the other day, guessing they're a bit overloaded at the mo.

I was getting a decent return yesterday before the patch. I can't recall though if it was the same as before as I had been exploring for the past 1/2 a year, but yesterday I was getting a ton more than I am today ratio wise...
