RES's and the BGS and...?

[DukeIronHand]

Bought a 2nd Commander account for just combat stuff about a month ago.
I have been, unabashedly, RES farming to test various ships and module configurations and, of course, to make money to finance this.

My question is about the RES's themselves; specifically when they "appear and disappear."
The current system I am in (for multiple reasons) has a sole LRES.

Does anyone know the how and why the different RES types appear and disappear?
CZ's are directly tied to the BGS and faction states but how about the RES's?
I believe there is some random(?) factor but does the system state come into play? The states, and % numbers, of the various factions? The BGS in general? Or something else?

AFAIK, RES are fixed. They don't come and go.

I thought they were fixed, sorry if this is dumb question is this because you only get to see them if you are within 1000LY, and gas giants tend to orbit further out?

Fixed huh?
Whew...read something wrong somewhere.
Thank you Cmdr's.

i think haz res can be converted to high res, and the other way round, when a goverment change changes security level. same goes for comp nav beacons/nav beacons.

res "start to exist" with a major update, which also might change services, or upgrade planetary installations (without services/docking) to ports with service... pretty much like population. i assume that commander traffic plays into that - i don't see FDEV handplacing 20 k surface installations, or RES. but outside of major updates i have never seen a RES come into existenz, or vanish (actually i have never seen a RES vanishing).
