Rezerwowy Pies about Overseer's:
From my expirience (i ran WC more than 100 times), i get Overseer spawn in 1 of 6 missions (Serpentis or Guristas). Even if i get it, most of the cases
its a standard BS (under 1m isk, far from it :) with no faction loot. Anyway they can spawn directly when you fly into pocket, or after few hours, or never
:-).
