RES why can't I find and Anacondas or Pythons?

But i always getting Cobra MK IIIs as first ship, then maybe a Python but hes mining, and not wanted (i'm a fed system right now).

It seems, that didn't want to refresh at all. I'm in solo mode BTW

I would get that from time to time. I found that leaving the space is SC and then returning to it seems to get larger ships. Last night the system had 2 RES sites. I went to the first one and found nothing but small fish. Left and went to the second one and nothing but big fish. After about 2 hours I made over 3 million in my vulture.

Go to a conflict system and jump into a high intensity zone - fill your boots

Is there an easy way to locate a conflict zone?

Find a system where there is fighting or a civil war. What system are you in at the moment? I am sure someone here will tell you of one nearby.

Should report crimes against me be enabled for RES farming?

about 5+ hours of searching, still no bug ships. Always Cobra MK III and a few asps. Sure bugged.

It's hit and miss, 2 nights ago, after a few respawns, I got a run of large ships, last night, nothing, didn't feel like respawning instances over an over, so I did some hauling instead.
As far as conflict zones, how do you decide which team to pick, when you're allied/friendly with all forces fighting?

It doesn't hurt to have it turned on. Only reason to turn it off is if you feel you "must" have one on one conflicts with NPCs. Sometimes wings of NPCs.
More often than not you'll be flying to where combat is already happening, so its not as if the feature makes much difference in a RES.

Is it really a gameplay?

Start - look at targets, if not big ship, save and exit. - Repeat until big ships. (10-20 times or more)

I've yet to experience this problem. I've been hitting the same 3 RES for a week now and I only have to hop around a few times to find big ship spawns.

My location has 2 res sites. Last night the first one I went to was nothing but small. Left and went to the second one and nothing but big.....About 2.5 million in a little over an hour....

I think its rigged somehow.

some players always getting big ships, and some players never getting.

Its about a 1-2 week ago, that i seen a wanted anaconda. Biggest one was a python, but it was not wanted.
A friend of mine always find big nasty target, i never.

No problems here. Federation system with a pirate faction who owns an outpost.
2x3 RESites, more often than not populated with big ships.

Not ever once though have I seen an Asp that was wanted.

The problem is there is no official word from FD about how this stuff works, so we have no way to know how to manipulate it to our advantage. If instancing is totally random, then its stupid design, if some RESs are more likely to have big ships, FD should at least give us a hint that this is the case so we can go about working out how to find juicy ones.

At the moment, i'm hunting in a wealthy, large pop system and i'm getting plenty of big ships. I don't know if that's how it works though, its just a waste of time trying to figure out whether or not its random. FD just needs to tell us about it.
