'''Besieged Covert Research Facility''' is an unique cosmic anomaly found in all low sec regions that spawns two waves of Mordu's Legion cruisers and battleships equipped with webifiers and warp disruptors. Notable loot includes higher-end implants and ship [[skin]] [[BPC]]s, as well as special module BPCs.

The Besieged Covert Research Facility is a much more difficult site than most other lowsec combat anomalies, and is generally best attempted using either a sniping battleship or a missile T3 Cruiser.
+
The '''Besieged Covert Research Facility''' is a [[Mordu's Legion]] combat anomaly. It can be found in any region of space, but only in Low Security systems.

==Walkthrough==
+
You will need:
−
Single ungated pocket. Several webs with and warp disruptors with long range.
+
* a ship that can sustain fire from up to five Battleships, a passive buffer Gila with Vespa and Kin/Therm resists can do this site in approx. 10-12 mins.
  
−
These sites are timed. After 20 minutes the site will self destruct.
+
Tips:
 +
* Site is rigged with explosives and will detonate after 20 minutes (doesnt damage your ship)
 +
* Killing Mordu's ships does not reduce Faction Standing
 +
* All ships fly up to 380m/s
 +
* All ships use shield boosters
 +
* Kinetic is the best damage to both deal and resist
 +
* The Cruiser's missiles deal Kinetic damage
 +
* The Battleship's high accuracy and infinite range Thermal/Kinetic/EM turrets deal 350 damage per shot, while their torpedo missiles deal 900 Kinetic damage per shot.
 +
* The Commander's turrets deal all damage types, but have poor tracking; and their 54 km range torpedoes deal Kinetic damage
  
 +
You should deal Kinetic damage because:
 +
* The Cruiser is weak to EM, but has low HP
 +
* The Battleship's shields are weak to EM and armor is weak to Explosive, but the lowest average resistance is Thermal
 +
* The Commander is weak to Kinetic, but has high HP

The site will spawn two groups of randomly assorted Mordu's Legion ships. The cruisers and "Mordu's Legion Battleship" will warp disrupt and web. The "Mordu's Legion Commander" does not web or point but is very durable. Note that all the ships will be named "Mordu's Legion Battleships" regardless of ship type.
+
Single deadspaced pocket. You cannot warp around.

−
The battleship webs have range of 22 km so they can be kited. All ships in the site fly at 380m/s at most. The warp disruptors have range of 36 km.

−
The rats will deal all damage types, however they prefer to deal Kinetic. Most importantly, the "Mordu's Legion Battleship" has a 30km max turret range with no falloff, but within that range '''''cannot miss''''', and its missiles ignore speed and signature and always deal full damage. The Mordu's Legion Commander fires high-damage torpedoes, however these torpedoes only fly about 50km and have poor application and can be comfortably tanked by a cruiser. All ships will target Large Drones, and will likely shoot them down.
 
  
−
As far the best damage type to deal, it's a mixed bag. However it's worth noting that all 3 ships have active shield reps.
 
−
* The Mordu's Legion Cruiser's shields are weak to EM, and while its armor somewhat resists EM its total HP is low enough that this isn't much of an issue
 
−
* The Mordu's Legion Battleship's shields are also weak to EM, however its armor is strong against EM so if it's possible to swap damage types quickly, swap to Explosive when its shields break
 
−
* The Mordu's Legion Commander is much more durable than the other two ships, however it is surprisingly weak against Kinetic damage (both shields and armor).
 
−
As the Commanders are the most durable ships on field, if forced to bring only a single damage type (or single drone type), the best single damage type to bring is Kinetic. If using projectile turrets, the best shells to use are EMP, swapping to Fusion after the shields break. (Don't bother reloading for Cruisers.)
 
  
−
After all ships are destroyed you can loot the goodies from the hub. The lab can be destroyed and looted before ships are destroyed, but it may be preferred to focus all damage on the ships, as their tackle can make it difficult both to get to the lab and to get out alive.
+
The Site is empty at first. The Wave 1 spawns shortly after you warp in.

The Besieged Covert Research Facility is a Mordu's Legion combat anomaly. It can be found in any region of space, but only in Low Security systems.

You will need:

  • a ship that can sustain fire from up to five Battleships, a passive buffer Gila with Vespa and Kin/Therm resists can do this site in approx. 10-12 mins.

Tips:

  • Site is rigged with explosives and will detonate after 20 minutes (doesnt damage your ship)
  • Killing Mordu's ships does not reduce Faction Standing
  • All ships fly up to 380m/s
  • All ships use shield boosters
  • Kinetic is the best damage to both deal and resist
  • The Cruiser's missiles deal Kinetic damage
  • The Battleship's high accuracy and infinite range Thermal/Kinetic/EM turrets deal 350 damage per shot, while their torpedo missiles deal 900 Kinetic damage per shot.
  • The Commander's turrets deal all damage types, but have poor tracking; and their 54 km range torpedoes deal Kinetic damage

You should deal Kinetic damage because:

  • The Cruiser is weak to EM, but has low HP
  • The Battleship's shields are weak to EM and armor is weak to Explosive, but the lowest average resistance is Thermal
  • The Commander is weak to Kinetic, but has high HP
