| These upgrades provide [[Cosmic Anomalies|industrial oriented anomalies]], such as guaranteed Ore sites or an increased chance for Data Sites. They rely on the Industrial Development Index, which can be increased by mining ores in the system. The Industrial Development Index will degrade if no mining takes place. Alliance members are advised that it will continue to degrade over downtime and thus they should ensure they have mined enough to cover any degradation when aiming to reach the next index level. | | These upgrades provide guaranteed ore sites in the system that the upgrade is installed in. There are 7 types of upgrades, one for each mineral type; |
| | * Tritanium Prospecting Array |
| | * Isogen Prospecting Array |
| | * Nocxium Prospecting Array |
| | * Zydrine Prospecting Array |
| | * Megacyte Prospecting Array |
| | * Pyerite Prospecting Array |
| | * Mexallon Prospecting Array |
|
| |
|
| Available Upgrades:
| | There are three tiers of upgrade for each type, with higher-level upgrades providing better ore anomalies at the cost of more manpower and power. When completed these ore anomalies have the chance to provide a mining escelation that provides even more ore. |
| * Ore Prospecting Array 1 - 5: Creates Ore Anomalies in the system. Each level creates one specific belt that's always the same (e.g. Ore Prospecting Array I creates a Small Asteroid Cluster, which always spawns with the same number and type of asteroids). All five contain all ores up to and including Arkonor, and levels 3 and above also contain Mercoxit. If one belt is completely mined out, an identical one will respawn in the same system within a few minutes.
| |
| * Survey Networks 1 - 5: Increases the chance of data or relic sites spawning in the system. {{bug|This is thought to not work, or at least provide a statistical increase so small as to not be measurable}}
