RES sites: What am I missing?

The problem you are running into is the instance you're spawning into.

Technically, you have a 1/3 chance for 3 different types of spawns as you enter an RES. However, there are some who suspect RES spawn rates and instances are buggy.

1. Low level, small sized ships
2. A mix of levels and ships
3. High rank, large ships (pythons, dropships, clippers, vultures)

The key is to quit and reload until you run into a BIG wanted ship RIGHT AWAY. If your first wanted ship is sidewinder up to viper or cobra, the entire RES will have small ships as long as you play. If you spawn in and find a clipper or dropship or python, you'll get constant spawns of large ships with big bounties.[

Exactly i stumbled across this the other day i just load up and quit until the first ship i see is a clipper python or driftship and boom your rich all that spawns is the big guys and sometimes it gets crazy try fighting 2 pythons and a clipper 3v1 anyay go to the system lhs 6427 you will not be disapointed
 
I've only been to one HI-RES, in the Erlik System, an Independent system in Imperial Space. I was there maybe an hour and a half and made roughly 700k credits. For someone that exclusively traded and smuggled before that, it was good pay and really fun.

As people have stated, you have to look around, and you can't simply go by your sensor range. The authorities are your friend if you only attack Wanted pilots.

Good luck out there, pilot!
 
Personally I like to find a a system that has a few RES sites close. The system I'm currently in has a planet with 3 RES sites very close to each other ( 2 RES and 1 High RES), and I jump from one to the next. If I get cobras and such on first jump I kill all I see and leave to the next. If I rotate and get nothing more than I like, I move to the next planet, which has 2 high RES sites about 800ls from the first planet. There r 3 more planets in line similar. It's more interesting to me than just quiting to dashboard. Either way I usually make between 500k to a mill every hour pretty consistently. Not great money, but I love my Vulture
 
Ugh, after trying somewhere around 20 times, I have not had any HIRES load anything other than small ships. I think I saw one, and only one, Python, and I believe it was a clean bounty hunter. I've seen Police Anacondas, and followed them around, but no wanted Anacondas or Pythons thus far. I'll keep tying.
 
Try finding a system that has high metal content ring RES (or better), they seem to have more lucrative HIGH INTENSITY sites...
