Deathless HQ Station & Zarzakh

Pirate Insurgencies

With aid from The Deathless, the completed Zarzakh shipcaster and the rejuvenated Fulcrum station, the Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates are now launching daring raids into empire factional warfare zones, called Insurgencies.

To Be Determined - Insurgencies are brand new gameplay that take part in Factional Warfare systems, however, it is possible for them to spread to include additional solar systems which are above 0.
To Be Determined - 0 security and below 0.
To Be Determined - 8 security.
To Be Determined - Insurgencies have multiple phases and are centered around a hub system, which has the pirate FOB in.
To Be Determined - The FOB can spawn at any temperate planet in the FW warzone, which will start an insurgency from that system and include 4 nearby solar systems to start the insurgency with.
To Be Determined - The Insurgency will start in the FORECASTING phase. This phase will last approximately 48 hours and will tell all players where the pirate FOB will be placed, and which solar systems are included with it in the upcoming insurgency. During this phase no content will be present, and the FOB is invulnerable, however it will be dockable. This gives players from both sides the opportunity to move assets and get ready to deploy in the theatre, or players the opportunity to get out of harm's way!
To Be Determined - The Insurgency will then move to the ACTIVE phase, and insurgency gameplay content will start spawning. During this phase, players can increase corruption or suppression by completing gameplay content for either the pirate or empire militias.
To Be Determined - The FOB is usually invulnerable, however, if the anti-pirates can fully suppress enough systems, it will become vulnerable and they will be able to attack it, it will then enter a 24 hour reinforcement timer (with some jitter) and if they destroy it, they will end the insurgency as a win for the anti-pirates.
To Be Determined - If the Pirates are able to fully corrupt enough systems however, they'll be able to plunder everything that isn't nailed down, take temporary control of the factional warfare occupancy of the solar system where the FOB was placed and win the insurgency for the Pirate side.
To Be Determined - This can cause havoc in Factional Warfare with several new frontlines being created around the FOB system.
To Be Determined - When pirates win and take temporary control of the FW occupancy of the system, they'll eventually give it back when they've ransacked everything, however, it'll be given back in the vulnerable state and the IHUB will be vulnerable right away.
To Be Determined - Players who contribute to corruption for the pirates, and suppression for the anti-pirates will get a large reward of ISK and Loyalty Points (LP) at the end of the insurgency when one side wins. The side which wins will have a bigger bonus payout!
To Be Determined - High security systems which are affected by an Insurgency will not spawn empire FW police and criminal police NPCs, so pirates and players with low security status can freely enter as they wish!

Pirate Activities

Insurgencies will feature the following gameplay content:

To Be Determined - Corporate Outpost Raid: This site is very similar to existing FW gameplay capture sites. Pirate players can capture the outpost by remaining in the capture point when Mordu Legion NPCs protecting the site have been destroyed, while anti-pirates can do the same by destroying pirate NPCs.
To Be Determined - The Corporate Outpost Raid comes in a variety of sizes with different ship size restrictions. All Pirate/T2 ships of that size can enter them, similar to existing ADV FW complexes.
To Be Determined - Mining Ambush: In this site, a friendly ORE Rorqual has been tackled by pirates. As a pirate, fight off the Mordu Mercenaries that arrive to protect it, and eventually, the Rorqual will give in and pay a handsome ransom to your pirate allies, and they will pass along the spoils in the form of LP and system corruption. If you prefer blood instead of LP, you can destroy the Rorqual for a bit of loot and system corruption. Anti-Pirate players can choose to help the Rorqual by destroying the pirate ransomer NPCs until the Rorqual will eventually be able to warp off and leave, providing a LP reward to the anti-pirates and additional suppression to the system. This is an open site where any ships can enter, although a fleet of well fit cruisers should be able to handle the site. The Mining Ambush has a shared payout of up to 10 pilots before the rewards are diminished.
To Be Determined - Pirate Laundering Centers & Counter-Insurgency Outposts: Once systems reach corruption and suppression thresholds, roaming NPCs which warp around the solar system will appear. Sometimes rare named NPCs will be present and those can be killed for valuable items which can be turned in at Pirate Laundering centers found in the FOB system for pirate factions, while Anti-Pirate players can destroy rare named pirate NPCs and hand in their items to Counter-Insurgency outposts located in their war HQ systems. War HQ systems for the respective militias are Mehatoor (Amarr), Onnamon (Caldari), Intaki (Gallente), Amo (Minmatar). Turning in these items will grant you reward crates.

Corruption and Suppression

To Be Determined - As insurgency content is completed by either the Pirate or Anti-Pirate sides, systems will increase in Corruption or Suppression. When certain thresholds of Corruption or Suppression are reached, the system will go up to the next Corruption or Suppression stage. Each stage can bring in new effects and shape the rules of the system.
To Be Determined - Note that while insurgency content is currently the only way to raise or lower suppression, it's possible for any system in the game to have a corruption or suppression value, and many of the effects apply outside insurgencies.
To Be Determined - In the future, we may add new features which can raise or decrease these values in a system.

The effects listed here are the cumulative effects of the current stage and the stages before it.

Corruption

To Be Determined - Add Corruption table.

Suppression

To Be Determined - Add Suppression table.

Pirate Insurgent LP Stores

Guristas Shipyards/Sotiyo will stop spawning as it used to, and the rewards will be rolled into the new LP store. Blood Raider Shipyards will continue to spawn in the wild.

Players enlisted with either the Angel Cartel or the Guristas Pirates will have access to a brand new LP store. This LP store can be accessed from the Pirate FOB in the insurgency, or in Zarzakh. Players will earn LP for these stores through insurgency gameplay.

To Be Determined - The Pirate LP stores include exclusive access to the following ship blueprints: Mekubal, Khizriel, Azariel, Mamba, Alligator, Loggerhead, Caiman and the Komodo.

To Be Determined - Cynabal, Gila: 18,000 LP & 5 Million ISK per blueprint copy.

To Be Determined - The passive shield regeneration time has also been doubled to keep their peak DPS regeneration the same.
