== Getting loot ==

Targeting the rift with a Tractor Beam has a chance to generate a Deepflow Cargo Container in space. These containers can have Blue Loot, Red Loot, and other rare items. While in the site, Tractor Beam auto-cycling is disabled, so they need to be manually activated each cycle. The site can generate up to 21 Canisters in High-sec, 27 in Null-sec and Wormholes, and 33 in Low-sec and Pochven, indicated by a tracker, and will expire after 18 minutes, also tracked on screen. Additionally, an indicator is present for stability, and if too many Tractor Beams are activated on the Rift in too short a period of time, a ~~small~~ Rogue Drone ~~force spawns~~.

Additionally, an indicator is present for stability, and if too many Tractor Beams are activated on the Rift in too short a period of time, a "surge" will happen and a force of roughly 10-15 Rogue Drone frigates and destroyers will appear.

There is also a bonus payout for retrieving all containers from the Rift (3M ISK in Highsec other areas tbc), but you must be in a fleet (even with yourself) to be eligible for this reward. If multiple fleets are competing in the same site, only the fleet that contributed the most (retrieved the most containers) gets the payout.

Recommended to use 2-3 Tractor beams for the site, since triggering ~~the instability~~ will cause ~~challenging rats~~ to ~~spawn~~.

Recommended to use no more than 2-3 Tractor beams for the site, since triggering a surge will cause a swarm of Rogue Drones to appear. They do about 250-300 DPS EM/Thermal damage which can quickly kill an undertanked ship. Thankfully, they have no EWAR aside from stasis webs so you can warp off at any time. Destroying them also gives small Rogue Drone standing hit if you intend on [[Getting positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings|getting positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings]].

Payout: Average of 25mil per site, with chance of '~~Jackpot large~~ crates. Loot includes Triglavian Survey and Sleeper Data (Red and Blue Loot)

Payout: Average of 25mil per site, with chance of 'Glorified' crates that give higher value loot. Loot includes Triglavian Survey and Sleeper Data (Red and Blue Loot)
