Volatile Ice Storm is a [[Metaliminal Storms|Metaliminal Storm]] that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Volatile Ice Storms spawn:
 
−
* Wightstorm Combat Anomalies
 
−
* Volatile Ice Fields
 
−
* Wightstorm Data Sites

−
=== Wightstorm Combat Anomalies ===
 
−
==== Wightstorm Forward Base ====
 
−
These sites appear in Highsec within systems with the Volatile Ice Storm Effect. Similar to the event site from 2020, the site is doable with a well-fit [[Battlecruiser]] with application support.
 
−
{{Main|Wightstorm Forward Base}}
 
−
 
 
−
==== Wightstorm Transit Site ====
 
−
These sites appear in Nullsec within systems with the Volatile Ice Storm Effect. Similar to the event site from 2020, the site is doable with a well-fit [[Battleship]] with application support.
 
−
{{Main|Wightstorm Transit Site}}
 
−
 
 
−
==== Wightstorm Muster Point ====
 
−
These sites appear in Lowsec within systems with the Volatile Ice Storm Effect. Similar to the event site from 2020, the site is doable with a well-fit [[Battleship]] with application support.
 
−
{{Main|Wightstorm Muster Point}}
 
−
 
 
−
==== Wightstorm Anchorage ====
 
−
These sites are rare and appear in Low- and Nullsec within systems with the Volatile Ice Storm Effect.

{{Main|Wightstorm Anchorage}}
 
−
 
 
−
=== Volatile Ice Fields ===
 
−
Volatile Ice Fields contain Ice that cannot be processed but can be traded in 7 at a time for a package of Salvage and Sansha items at the Site.
 
−
 
 
−
Different areas of space have different sites:
 
−
* High Security: Fading Volatile Ice Field
 
−
* Low Security: Fresh Volatile Ice Field
 
−
* Null Security: Friable Volatile Ice Field
 
−
 
 
−
Only the following ships can fit through the Acceleration Gate:
 
−
* Expedition Frigates
 
−
* Mining Barges
 
−
* Exhumers
 
−
* Industrial Ships
 
−
* Blockade Runners
 
−
* Deep Space Transports
 
−
* Porpoise
 
−
 
 
−
=== Wightstorm Data Sites ===
 
−
All Sites are:
 
−
 
 
−
* Level IV Data Sites. 86 scanner probe strength is able to scan them down but higher is recommended.
 
−
* only have one container that requires a Data Analyzer to unlock
 
−
 
 
−
Different areas of space have different sites:
 
−
 
 
−
* High Security: '''Wightstorm Communication Relay''' is the easiest
 
−
* Null Security '''Wightstorm Cryptographic Array''' is of intermediate difficulty
 
−
* Low Security: '''Wightstorm Strategic Node''' is the hardest
 
−
 
 
−
=== Rewards ===

Volatile Ice Storm is a [[metaliminal storm]] that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Volatile Ice Storm

The view inside Wightstorm Forwards Base. The snowing effect is visible in all systems affected by the storm.

Volatile Ice Storm is a metaliminal storm that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Effect Weak Strong
Icon damage therm.png Overheat damage reduction 10% 25%
Icon resist therm.png Thermal resistance bonus 4% 10%

Ice Storm Filaments

Ice Storm Filaments transport capsuleers to a System affected by the Volatile Ice Storm.

There are separate Ice Storm Filaments for High, Low and Null security systems, capable of taking up to one, five, or ten ships.
