Resource Extraction Site [High] low spawns?

[Cat with the Gat]

Hello all

Not sure how to start so i'll get right to the point.

After a while in High res, ships eventually stop spawning altogether. Meaning I have to SC out and re-enter, then wait a good 10-ish minutes before any spawn again. Is this normal? After a good half-hour in a Res site, I find myself flying around with the same 5 clean ships on my radar. (Four of those usually being System Authority)

Ok good observation. Thanks for the update...lol

Its because usally the system authority kill them before you do... A good way to refresh everything instead of waiting for 10 min is to board flip. Once they stop spawning, swich to solo. Alternativly, you can go into the Res site [HAS], have alot more criminals but no system authority.
another possible solution, is to do conflict zones instrad of bounty hunting. It will be a little harder, but you get more money out of it, can help determine the outcomes of wars without effecting local rep too much, and you can do theose massacre missions without any concequence with the law. With these, you get, a couple mil (with massacre+combat bonds+regular bounty) instead of 100,000ish, better influence and more fun.

Board flip?

Also are conflict zones even feasible with a Vulture build (Non engineered)?

Board flip is one option. But there's another, often faster one (and if you're in a wing, board flipping is not really an option). It goes as follows:

-Go away from the ring until there's no mass lock. don't do SC yet.
-Turn around and face the ring.
-Now you go to SC. You'll be in SC for a second and then automatically drop again due to close proximity to the ring. Instance will be refreshed.

Thanks. But.. what does board flipping have to do with bounty hunting? Unless you're referring to massacre missions for CZs?

Nah, we're just kind of conflating things. we're calling it board flipping, but what we're talking about is actually just switching modes. When you switch modes form within an instance (in a RES, for example), the instance gets re-created and all NPC spawn processes begin anew.

Just to clarify: switching modes is just that, switching modes. Board Flipping is when you switch modes while in the mission board in a station so that it will refresh.

That's normal. BH in a RES is like fishing. Once you've caught all the fish in one spot, move to another spot. Head for the exact opposite side of the RES. Normally, you'll find a fight and some new spawns before you get there. I don't know if there's a set distance you can go before the spawns stop, but I've seen groups pop in as far as 20Km from the center of the RES,
When you see the cops jumping out, the spawns are about to stop. Time to head to the other side,

As discussed, that's completely unnecessary.

Ah ok! Thank you so much!
