Ratting is the hunting and killing of NPC pirates, which can appear in asteroid belts ~~and~~ cosmic anomalies, and also near to gates in nullsec space. Players receive bounty payments for killing rats. A rat's bounty is tied to its ship class, and closely tracks with its expected difficulty.

'''Ratting''' is the hunting and killing of NPC pirates, which can appear in [[Asteroids and ore#Asteroid belts|asteroid belts]], [[Probe scanning#Cosmic anomalies|cosmic anomalies]], [[Probe scanning#Cosmic signatures|cosmic signatures]], and also near to [[Stargates|gates]] in [[System security#Null security|nullsec space]]. Players receive bounty payments for killing rats. A rat's bounty is tied to its ship class, and closely tracks with its expected difficulty.

Since combat sites can be found by probing, ratting shares a small overlap with exploration, and ratters can benefit greatly by having a ship capable of scanning down signatures.

Sansha is a slight variation of this: while they spawn dreadnoughts, they spawn supercarriers instead of titans. They will be named one of three ways, and carry the following bounties:

* <Faction> Dreadnought/Carrier - 60,000,000 ISK
