Homefront operations are [[Cosmic Anomalies]] in [[highsec]] that require a group of pilots covering specific roles from standard roles like [[EVE Lexicon#DPS|DPS]] and logi to less common roles in fleets such as hacking and hauling.  Each having its own scenario and requiring its own group composition and strategy. The acceleration gate on the entrance allows only certain types of ships depending on particular type.

[[File:Suspicious Signal- Vexor Cruiser .jpg|left|thumb|Suspicious Signal: Secure the Intel]]
The site features a central structure, an NPC Freighter, and a defending hostile fleet tasked with protecting the area. During the encounter, hostile haulers will periodically spawn in close proximity to the structure and immediately attempt to align and warp out to safety.   
The objective of this site is to destroy a single tower-like structure located at the center. At the start, the structure is either invulnerable or cloaked, and it only becomes vulnerable once three hackable arrays (data cans) are successfully hacked. Each hacked array activates a 90-second timer. If all three are hacked around the same time, this creates a 90-second damage window on the tower. Tower durability is estimated at approximately 337k HP.   


The primary objective is to tackle and destroy at least 3 of these haulers before they can escape, then recover their cargo and successfully deliver it to the freighter located on the field. 


All of this must be accomplished within the strict 20-minute time limit, adding pressure to act quickly and efficiently.


Be advised that enemy ships will aggressively target and destroy any drones deployed during the engagement, making drone usage a risky choice for capsuleers who rely heavily on them for damage or utility.

=== Rewards ===
Rewards for Raid sites come in the form of ISK payouts on site completion. Payout amount follows the standard 5-pilot Homefront Operation payout structure, giving the maximum payout per pilot of 15,486,410 ISK with a fleet of 5.

To be eligible for payout, pilots need to contribute to the site in one of three ways:

Any pilots in the site who did not contribute will not get paid and will not count in the calculation for the rest of the fleet. For example, in a fleet of 5 if one pilot does not contribute, the remaining 4 pilots would be paid 11,614,810 ISK instead of 15,486,410 ISK.

Homefront Operations

Empire Sites
Universal Sites

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies in highsec that require a group of pilots covering specific roles from standard roles like DPS and logi to less common roles in fleets such as hacking and hauling. Each having its own scenario and requiring its own group composition and strategy. The acceleration gate on the entrance allows only certain types of ships depending on particular type.

Mission details

Suspicious Signal: Secure the Intel

The objective of this site is to destroy a single tower-like structure located at the center. At the start, the structure is either invulnerable or cloaked, and it only becomes vulnerable once three hackable arrays (data cans) are successfully hacked. Each hacked array activates a 90-second timer. If all three are hacked around the same time, this creates a 90-second damage window on the tower. Tower durability is estimated at approximately 337k HP.


Be advised that enemy ships will aggressively target and destroy any drones deployed during the engagement, making drone usage a risky choice for capsuleers who rely heavily on them for damage or utility.

Fleet size & composition

  • Optimal fleet size: 5 ships
  • Fleet composition: T1 Cruisers (DPS), T1 Logistic Cruisers (Logi)

Common group compositions are 5 DPS with strong active tank, 3 of which have Data Analyzer equipped; or 4 DPS with 1 Logi.

Type of ships allowed

This homefront operation takes place in a deadspace pocket with an acceleration gate that has ship restrictions.

  • Tech 1 frigates, navy and pirate frigates
  • Tech 1 destroyers, navy and pirate destroyers
  • Tech 1 cruisers
  • Tech 1 haulers, including Squall
  • Ventures

Mission parameters

  • Time-limit: 20 minutes
  • Longshot Relay Health
  • Hackable Array (A) (B) (C): 90 seconds

Raids in different empires

There are regional differences in the site’s description, hostile damage types or EWAR.

Finding sites

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies located in empire owned High Security systems, mostly focused around trade hubs or career agent systems.

  • Opportunities window > Homefront Operations tab: will render a list of the available homefronts within a limited range.
  • Agency window > Homefront Operations tab: will give you a more detailed filtering ability that allows you to search any region.

Rewards

Rewards for Suspicious Signal sites come in two forms: (1) ISK payout upon site completion, and (2) site-specific loot from the hackable arrays that can be sold to NPC buy orders in certain regions of highsec.

Payout amount follows the standard 5-pilot Homefront Operation payout structure, giving the maximum payout per pilot of 15,486,410 ISK with a fleet of 5.
