Minmatar COSMOS: Difference between revisions

The interesting part starts once you are sent into the various COMPLEXes, LANDMARKs and COMBAT SITEs.

There are visible COSMOS COMPLEXes, e.g. the 4 COMPLEXes in the constellation that have a beacon and are shown on the ingame map, as well as hidden COMPLEXes you have to scan down first to warp to the entrance. LANDMARKs, both visible and hidden, that are not shown on the ingame map (Please note: The Sispur's Estate is only a LANDMARK, even it is shown on the ingame map). And there are COMBAT SITEs without any acceleration gates and without any beacons to warp to. If you need to go to hidden location, bring a ship with a Core Probe Launcher fitted, preferably a scanning frigate like the Minmatar Probe.

Every COMPLEX and LANDMARK, hidden or not, have a DED rating that tells you what ship hulls can use the acceleration gate. As examples, the COMPLEX in Inder has a DED rating of 3, which only allows cruiser sized ships, the two visible COMPLEXes in Hjoramold and Traun have a DED 4 rating and allow up to battlecruisers and the Tvink COMPLEX (DED 5) allows battleships (Don't believe the DED ratings given in the ingame maps, they often are wrong). LANDMARKs are generally easier to clear and thus can be done with smaller ship hulls, but for the COMPLEXes I recommend to bring a ship that matches the DED rating. The difficulty of the COMBAT SITEs vary strongly, from "Easy as pie" to "It's a trap!" difficulty. Please refer to the more detailed descriptions of the various sites further down the guide.
