Homefront - Dread Assault

Main article: Homefront operation

Description

An empire dreadnought is being deployed to deal with problems in the region. It is your fleet’s task to make sure the dreadnought is able to succeed in destroying the enemy structure by boosting its capacitor sufficiently so that it can use its superweapon.

Enemy ships will apply energy neutralizers to the Dreadnought, so it's recommended to bring DPS ships and T1 Logistic cruisers with 3-4 medium remote cap transfers and maintain cap chain with one of them.

Fleet composition: T1 Logistic Cruisers (Logi), Destroyers (DPS)

Dread Assault in different empires

This 5 man fleet homefront is found throughout high-security Empire space. There are regional differences in the site’s enemies, damage types and EWAR.

Region	Site	Hostile Damage Types	EWAR
Gallente	Dread Assault: Primacy Base	Ex EM	Neuts/ ECM
Caldari	Dread Assault: Occupied Industry	Ex EM	Neuts/ ECM
Minmatar	Dread Assault: Cartel Racket	Ex Kin	Paints/ ECM
Amarr	Dread Assault: Blood Raider Temple	EM Th	Neuts Weapon disruption ECM

Hostiles

A fleet composition of frigates, destroyers, cruisers and battlecruisers will be in the site on arrival. They will focus on a single capsuleer ship at a time, starting with the first ship to land in the site, and will occasionally switch targets as a group. The exception to this is ships with the Corruptor, Activist, Errant or Blood name prefix who will immediately begin shooting any drones that are launched, but will shoot the currently focused capsuleer ship if there are no drones in space.

The hostile fleet is composed of a random selection of the following ships.

Dread Assault: Cartel Racket			Dread Assault: Occupied Industry
Prefix	Info	Weakness	Prefix	Info	Weakness
Corruptor	Drone aggro	EM	Negotiator	Neuts
