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.

The objective is to mine the central large asteroid, which contains one of five types of mutanite ore. This asteroid holds 3,500 units (14,000 m³) of ore, which can be sold to NPC buyers in the region for an additional 17.5 million ISK toward the group payout.


===From Metaliminal Meteoroid: Gallente Mining Page===
Standard procedure is for the logistics ship to take the acceleration gate first and draw enemy fire, followed by the mining venture. Once inside, everyone orbits the large asteroid at close range and begins mining. A TI hauler can also serve as a sixth fleet member, waiting outside the site to collect the mined ore once the operation is complete.
Mining sites found in Gallente space. Operation takes place in deadspace pocket with an acceleration gate that will pass: T1 Frigate (including Navy), T1 Destroyer (including Navy), T1 Cruiser, some T1 Haulers and the Noctis.


Warp in is about 3km from the Asteroid, in the middle of hostile group.
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.


There are approximately 10-15 frigate, destroyer, and cruiser hostiles.
Using EP-S Gaussian Scoped Mining Laser in the Mining ships will preserve the full 3500 m³ ore as they do not apply any mining residue.<gallery>

The single Asteroid holds 3500 Units (14000m3) of ore which can be sold to NPC Buyers in the region, adding another 17.5million ISK to the group payout.

since equinox it happens more often that rats are randomly more powerful, using two passive extenders and a active hardener on the ventures does compensate for this.
* Opportunities window >  Homefront Operations tab: will render a list of the available homefronts within a limited range.
best experiences with the logi ships own shields were by using two active Shield Hardeners and a Booster with Boost amplifier,
* Agency window > Homefront Operations tab: will give you a more detailed filtering ability that allows you to search any region.
this allows the ship to be under attack forever. if the pilot has lower skills, overheating can fix some shortcomings (rarely needed).

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

Metaliminal Meteoroid: Caldari Mining

The objective is to mine the central large asteroid, which contains one of five types of mutanite ore. This asteroid holds 3,500 units (14,000 m³) of ore, which can be sold to NPC buyers in the region for an additional 17.5 million ISK toward the group payout.

Standard procedure is for the logistics ship to take the acceleration gate first and draw enemy fire, followed by the mining venture. Once inside, everyone orbits the large asteroid at close range and begins mining. A TI hauler can also serve as a sixth fleet member, waiting outside the site to collect the mined ore once the operation is complete.

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.

Using EP-S Gaussian Scoped Mining Laser in the Mining ships will preserve the full 3500 m³ ore as they do not apply any mining residue.
