Should pre-upgraded gear be refreshed daily instead of weekly?

I don't entirely hate this system, but to really find anything in a timely fashion, you need to be available and willing on Thursday morning in England to head out and start visiting stations right away. Which is great, unless that day doesn't work for you. And if it doesn't, you're ed for the rest of the week.

Some options that would make more sense would be:

  • Make pre-upgraded items slightly rarer, but respawn them daily, so everyone's got a shot at them throughout the whole week.
  • Still spawn them weekly, but do so additively rather than replacing (up to a certain max) so that once everyone's got what they need, it becomes easier to find upgraded parts and catch up.
  • Spawn per-player instead of server-wide (which I realize would kill the community information sharing aspect, but...let's be honest. Once all the active players have what they need, no one's going hunting anymore, and the "sharing is caring" thread is not going to get updated anymore anyway.)
Or, maybe this whole problem goes away once everyone has what they need and the gold rush is over.

What do you think?
 
Why not even every 12th hour? I live in the CET timezone but there are players both ahead and behind us that might lose out because of how it currently is.
 
I find it strange that you have ONE suit or weapon for a system with millions or even billions of inhabitants.
I guess after a few weeks there will be significantly less people hunting these items.
