(→‎Fourth Location: fleshing out the information one madcats)
(Updated the information about the fourth site to be less alarmist, more informative/concise, and more up-to-date. Added a part asking for minimum tank requirements and stating that reinforcement numbers may vary. Also added that the Madcat stash can give no loot. Talk page created.)

Scarcity Update: This site, like other cosmic signatures, contains ore.
 +
* As of 1st March 2021 the site contains large amounts of Hedbergite & Hemorphite, with smaller amounts of Omber, Kernite and ores found in high sec. The ore spans a crescent shape of 120km across and is therefore impossible to scan with a single survey. It was estimated on approximately a third of the belt scanned that ISK value at current prices would be 2.5-3b. Note that if the site is left by all players it may despawn, but leaving one player at all times within the site will retain it in space for mining.
 +
* As of 3rd March 2021 the only asteroids showing on overview at the site were Scordite and Veldspar. Very disappointing.

* As of 15th of October 2021 the site, once again, contains only large amounts of Scordite and Veldspar.

Single normal space pocket.
Kiling the three madcats frigates unlocks the container. This container can contain multiple A-typ DED modules.
+
 
The madcat frigates have very high passive shield regeneration (150 HP/s), active armor tank and MWD. The stats for the madcat can be found [http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=26717 here]. Kinetic damage is best against their shields, the armor has 90% omni resist with full (800HP) repair every 10 seconds. This means you need to do at least 950 dps or do enough volley damage to punch through the armor. Damage application is also an issue against their small signature radius (48m). This stage is best attempted with some friends, either a small group of high dps frigates (to avoid most of the room damage) or some cruiser sized ships and up with application (TP/web) and / or logi support. High alpha snipers with application support can also work, in which case a fast / tanky frigate buddy is recommended to pick up the loot.

This last site is not time-sensitive, though it can be time-consuming if you do not bring something that can tank the high DPS or snipe the three Madcat Frigates from afar. Once the three Madcats are killed, the container unlocks. The loot can be anything from Metal Scraps to the usual array of faction modules.
 +
 +
The Madcat Frigates are effectively a DPS check, as they boast high passive shield regeneration, strong 90% armor resistances, and strong armor repair. Fortunately, you do not need that much DPS (at least 180) to kill them if you pull them away from the site, though more is always better.
 +
 +
For clearing this site, there are three approaches: bookmark chaining to kite, sniping, or tanking.
 +
 +
For the first two approaches (kiting/sniping), all you have to do is warp in, then warp out to the sun (or somewhere consistent) after creating a bookmark. Then, you warp to your bookmark at the site at 100km, and then create another bookmark so you are now 200km from the site. Depending on if you are kiting or sniping, you may be able to stop here and pick off the 5 Sentry Guns who can do a fair amount of damage up to 250km. However, if you can't, then you'll need to repeat the process one more time so you're 250-300km from the site. Then, you'll need to warp into the site at 0, tag an enemy once (or more, depending on your fit and tank), and then warp out to your bookmark at 250-300km. Provided you managed to shoot an enemy, they should aggro and begin moving toward you, even if you temporarily break the lock via warping to 300km. For the Madcats, this process won't take very long thanks to their MWDs. For the other rats, however, this can be a time-consuming process if not using a ship able to hit 100-250km (such as a cheap Railgun Naga, for example), as their speed is a painful 300-500 m/s.
 +
 +
Once the Madcats are dead, you can warp straight to the cargo container for the loot, and then leave. If you're unlucky, you'll only get a single Metal Scrap. If you're lucky, you can receive Coreli A-type modules.

As the dust disperses, you receive a transmission from someone claiming to have had some rather intimite relations with your sister and that he is waiting for you a few jumps away, to see what you are going to do about it. Despite the fact that you have no sister that you know of and the guy sounds like he has been drinking more than just Quafe, you feel a certain temptation to go and see what this is all about.

In local
Serpentis Madcat: Well look at who we have here boys, looks like a garbage hauler. I wonder what nincompoop decided to send him out here through our turf. Maybe his mother? Ha ha.
In local (Madcat warp-off)
Serpentis Madcat: I've had enough fun with this freak, I doubt he has anything worth looting. Let's roll boys!

All of the Madcats will warp away, although they will attack you from a very long range for a couple of seconds.

Escalation message:
Heuristic analysis of this location indicates that destroying the Serpentis Armory would greatly improve your odds of uncovering further illicit activity

In previous patches the Escalation message was more colorful; stating:

Escalation message:
These seem to be just some Serp rich kids on Crash looking for trouble, rather than serious bloodthirsty pirates. In some jet set ships, probably with modules to die for.., in any case your instruments have an easy lock on their destination in case you have nothing more important to do than to spank those brats.
Escalation dead-end

Single room

WD EWAR L


Frigate 4 x Frigate Serpentis Madcat escalation trigger, Reinforcement 1 trigger Remote Sensor Dampener

One of the Madcats will stay behind. Killing it can trigger escalation. Attacking it triggers first spawn.

The Madcat is difficult to kill, uses MWD and has active shield and armor rep and small signature (~500 DPS HM Tengu was not able to kill it (possible if you manage to keep it at range (pressing E all the time) - the wreck was empty!)).

If you are unable to kill the Madcat he will eventually warp away.

A group of Serpentis ships (named Guardian Angels) spawn to defend the Madcat. Each pair of Guardian Angel ships will spawn a new reinforcement wave. Last ship killed will trigger Spawn 2.

Scarcity Update: This site, like other cosmic signatures, contains ore.

  • As of 1st March 2021 the site contains large amounts of Hedbergite & Hemorphite, with smaller amounts of Omber, Kernite and ores found in high sec. The ore spans a crescent shape of 120km across and is therefore impossible to scan with a single survey. It was estimated on approximately a third of the belt scanned that ISK value at current prices would be 2.5-3b. Note that if the site is left by all players it may despawn, but leaving one player at all times within the site will retain it in space for mining.
  • As of 3rd March 2021 the only asteroids showing on overview at the site were Scordite and Veldspar. Very disappointing.
  • As of 15th of October 2021 the site, once again, contains only large amounts of Scordite and Veldspar.


Escalation message:
It seems like you have the choices of staying here and getting murdered by the Angel babysitters, or you could try to jet out and see if the lock you have on the rest of the brats is any good...
WARNING:

If you kill reinforcement 3 or stay too long (not confirmed) a very strong group will spawn.

Reinforcement 1

Elite Frigate 2 x Elite Frigate Guardian Angel Lieutenant Killing spawns two more frigates Remote Sensor Dampener
Destroyer 2 x Destroyer Guardian Angel Infiltrator Killing spawns two more destroyers
Cruiser 2 x Cruiser Guardian Angel Harpoon Killing spawns two more cruisers
Battlecruiser 4 x Battlecruiser Guardian Angel Warmonger Killing spawns two more battlecruisers for both pairs

Each pair of first reinforcements will spawn a new pair of same type.

Killing reinforcement 3 triggers massive enemy wave. These ships will close in very quickly and will web and point. You will not be match for them. The ships have special types: "Temko Interceptor", "COSMOS Gallente Commodore", "Cosmos Gallente Elite Frigate" and "Cosmos Gallente Captain". They were easily able to overpower a Vargur with 1700 ehp/s tank.

Fourth location

Single normal space pocket.

On warp-in
Serpentis Madcat: That's it! You have the audacity to enter the proximity of our Pleasure Resorts! I can't lose face in front of the girls inside ... I mean I can't let you get away with that! ... Prepare to die, pest.

Your computers pick up distress signals being sent from somewhere in the area. Perhaps this indicates that more enemy ships may be incoming soon. Whatever you're after here, you should probably make haste before you are overwhelmed.

This last site is not time-sensitive, though it can be time-consuming if you do not bring something that can tank the high DPS or snipe the three Madcat Frigates from afar. Once the three Madcats are killed, the container unlocks. The loot can be anything from Metal Scraps to the usual array of faction modules.

The Madcat Frigates are effectively a DPS check, as they boast high passive shield regeneration, strong 90% armor resistances, and strong armor repair. Fortunately, you do not need that much DPS (at least 180) to kill them if you pull them away from the site, though more is always better.

For clearing this site, there are three approaches: bookmark chaining to kite, sniping, or tanking.

For the first two approaches (kiting/sniping), all you have to do is warp in, then warp out to the sun (or somewhere consistent) after creating a bookmark. Then, you warp to your bookmark at the site at 100km, and then create another bookmark so you are now 200km from the site. Depending on if you are kiting or sniping, you may be able to stop here and pick off the 5 Sentry Guns who can do a fair amount of damage up to 250km. However, if you can't, then you'll need to repeat the process one more time so you're 250-300km from the site. Then, you'll need to warp into the site at 0, tag an enemy once (or more, depending on your fit and tank), and then warp out to your bookmark at 250-300km. Provided you managed to shoot an enemy, they should aggro and begin moving toward you, even if you temporarily break the lock via warping to 300km. For the Madcats, this process won't take very long thanks to their MWDs. For the other rats, however, this can be a time-consuming process if not using a ship able to hit 100-250km (such as a cheap Railgun Naga, for example), as their speed is a painful 300-500 m/s.

Once the Madcats are dead, you can warp straight to the cargo container for the loot, and then leave. If you're unlucky, you'll only get a single Metal Scrap. If you're lucky, you can receive Coreli A-type modules.

Escalation finished:
Killing rich kids may be lucrative, but when they have an army of hard core Guardian Angels to hold their hand like this, it can be a bit troublesome. These at least will have enough to talk about in their luxury clone bay tonight, wherever that may be.

Note that the reinforcement spawn appears to vary to some degree, as one user reported 9 additional enemies spawning in addition to the 10 battlecruisers.
