The objective of Metaliminal Meteoroid sites is to mine out the large central asteroid while being attacked by hostiles. The hostiles do not need to be killed to complete the site.


===From Metaliminal Meteoroid: Gallente Mining Page===
The asteroid contains 3,500 units (14,000 m³) of one of five mutanite ore types. This ore can be sold to NPC buyers in the region for an additional 17.5 million ISK. Residue (such as on Miner IIs) will help complete the site quicker at the cost of some lost ore.
Mining sites found in Gallente space. Operation takes place in deadspace pocket with an acceleration gate that will pass: T1 Frigate (including Navy), T1 Destroyer (including Navy), T1 Cruiser, some T1 Haulers and the Noctis.


Warp in is about 3km from the Asteroid, in the middle of hostile group.
The composition of the enemy forces varies from site to site, see [[Metaliminal_Meteoroid#Hostiles|Hostiles]] below. No new enemy ships will spawn unless any are destroyed, in which case they will eventually be replaced by reinforcements.  


There are approximately 10-15 frigate, destroyer, and cruiser hostiles.
Some enemy ships will aggressively target drones. Mining drones are fragile!


The single Asteroid holds 3500 Units (14000m3) of ore which can be sold to NPC Buyers in the region, adding another 17.5million ISK to the group payout.

Approximately 600 HP/s of remote Boost is required on the Logi Ship to keep the Ventures in one piece.
== Fleet size & composition ==<!-- clearly stating 5 or 3 man optimal fleet size + roles & Ship classes applicable. Not Including any detailed ships or fits -->
* Optimal fleet size: 5 ships
* Fleet composition: as many miners as possible with any necessary [[Logistics|logistics]] and off-grid hauler support

This homefront operation takes place in a [[Deadspace|deadspace pocket]] with an acceleration gate that has ship restrictions.


- warp in with the Logi ship first to draw the fire, orbit the beacon at 2500-5000 meters
* Tech 1 frigates, navy and pirate frigates
* Tech 1 destroyers, navy and pirate destroyers
* Tech 1 cruisers
* Tech 1 haulers, including [[Squall]]
* [[Venture]], [[Venture Consortium Issue]]
* [[Pioneer]], [[Pioneer Consortium Issue]], [[Perseverance]]
* [[Noctis]]


- all the ventures follow after the Logi is placed, orbit the beacon at 1000meters and start mining.

- use EP-S Gaussian Scoped Mining Laser in the Mining ships, as they are cheap and do not have residue preserving the full 3500 Units of ore.

since equinox it happens more often that rats are randomly more powerful, using two passive extenders and a active hardener on the ventures does compensate for this.
== Metaliminal Meteoroid in different empires ==
best experiences with the logi ships own shields were by using two active Shield Hardeners and a Booster with Boost amplifier,
There are regional differences in the site’s description, hostile damage types or [[EWAR]].{{Important note box|WARNING: Ship fittings are region-specific. Each faction has unique resistances and damage types. An improper fit can cost you your ship.}}
this allows the ship to be under attack forever. if the pilot has lower skills, overheating can fix some shortcomings (rarely needed).

NPC's are very aggressive against drones, to kill belt rats in order to avoid alert confusion (not required), 3 Caldari Navy Hornets are best for short periods due to the high shield resistance they come with.  
== Hostiles ==
A fleet of about 15 NPC's consisting of frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and battlecruisers will be present upon arrival. They will concentrate their fire on one capsuleer ship at a time, beginning with the first vessel to enter the site, and may periodically switch targets as a group. An exception applies to hostiles with the ''Atgeir, Smuggler, Corrupted, or Wraithful'' prefixes: these will immediately target any drones that are deployed, but will revert to attacking the currently focused capsuleer ship if no drones are present.

==Hostiles==
== Interaction & standings ==
Destroying any hostile ships encountered in Metaliminal Meteoroid Homefront operations does not result in any standing gains or losses.


==Reward==
However, when flying these Homefronts in 0.8 and lower hi-sec security systems, additional [[Belt rat|belt rat spawns]] can be triggered. These NPCs will split their damage across your fleet, and destroying them will result in a loss of faction standing.

==Gallery==
== Finding sites ==
'''Homefront operations''' are [[Cosmic Anomalies]] located in empire owned [[High Security]] systems, mostly focused around [[trade hubs]] or [[career agent]] systems.
 
* Opportunities window >  Homefront Operations tab: will render a list of the available homefronts within a limited range.
* Agency window > Homefront Operations tab: will give you a more detailed filtering ability that allows you to search any region.
* Probe Scanner  > Displays all available anomalies in the system, including their distance in AU, with options to warp or align to them.

Rewards for Metaliminal Meteoroid sites come in two forms: (1) ISK payout upon site completion, and (2) one of five site-specific Mutanite ores that can be sold to NPC buy orders. Every site contains 17,500,000 ISK worth of Mutanite ores, not counting sales tax and residue. <gallery>
