'''Rogue Drone Asteroid Infestation''' is a DED rated combat site found in high and low security space. It is often regarded as a low value site as it contains no faction drones and has a very low chance to drop a single faction module.

Interestingly, the site can have low amounts of Rogue Drone alloys in the cans in the last two pockets that can be reprocessed for minerals.

There are minable asteroids of Omber and Veldspar, but the site will despawn shortly after the drones guarding the Scratched Cask in the last room are defeated, preventing them from being mined unless someone stays in the site, although you do have enough time to go to a nearby station to drop off.

~~Leaving and re-entering~~ the site (~~e.g. while mining Omber~~) can ~~spawn 1-3 Serpentis corvettes after a minute or two in whichever pocket you idle in <ref group=Note>See~~ the ~~[[Talk:Rogue Drone Asteroid Infestation|talk]] page.</ref>~~.

While mining the ore in the site, pirate rats (based on which empire space you're in) can randomly appear, their strength relative to the system's security rating.

[[image:Rogue_Drone_Asteroid_Infestation_Pocket_1.jpg|thumb|First Pocket]]

This pocket contains 1 Omber (about 18k units) and 11 Veldspar asteroids.

A harvester fleet can spawn in this pocket. Maximum size of the fleet is unknown, but can contain at least two with Serpentis Harvesters and a Serpentis defense ship.

The Harvester wrecks can drop an Elara Restrained Mining Laser Upgrade module, as well as minerals.

== Mining ==

The site's signature will vanish once the last few rogue drones in the last pocket are defeated. Afterwards, leaving the site will result in the site despawning after a minute or so unless someone is present in the site. The site can very well despawn as you're warping back to it.

The first pocket has a sizable amount of Omber in one asteroid, the second pocket has two asteroids with low amounts and the final pocket has a mixed amount of high and low amounts of Omber in each asteroid.

If the site is present in Caldari space, it is recommended to use the [[Endurance]] or [[Venture]] to be able to defeat ECM rats with drones that can sporadically appear. The [[Endurance]] also boasts a larger mining hold to minimize ore drop-offs. In other empires, ECM is not a problem and the [[Prospect]] may be used as it can tank the rats through signature tanking and active tanking modules. The gate appears to accommodate Cruiser-sized ships, but mining barges and porpoises will not fit.
