| + | #REDIRECT [[Probe scanning#Cosmic anomalies]] |
| − | [[Cosmic Anomalies]] (not to be confused with [[Cosmic Signatures]]) are [[exploration]] PvE sites that can be found throughout known space in EVE. They are found using the [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|system scanner]], and require no skills to locate (unlike [[Cosmic Signatures]], which require probes and probing skills). There are several types of Cosmic Anomalies:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Combat Sites''' contain multiple NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. They come in a variety of difficulties depending on the security level of the space where they are found.
| |
| − | * '''Ore sites''' contain [[Asteroids and Ore|asteroids]] to be mined for minerals or ice products.
| |
| − | * '''[[Ghost Site|Ghost Sites]]''' (also known as "Covert Research Facilities") contain several data/relic cans to hack, that explode if the explorer fails the hack. Also, an invisible timer starts on warp-in, and once it is up, indestructible NPC rats will warp in, cause all cans to explode and shoot at the explorer for a while. Tanked ships or "egg-thief" (hacking only one can quickly, then leaving) tactics are recommended. Either analyzer (and its relevant skill) may be used for the hack.
| |
| − | * '''Contested Covert Research Facilities''' may be found in high- or low-sec<ref name="Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites">http://www.evemanufacturing.co.uk/contested-and-besieged-covert-research-facility/</ref> and are very similar to the regular Covert Research Facilities (Ghost Sites). They contain 1 data/relic can, called a Guristas Transponder tower, that explodes if the hacking/archaeology attempt fails. Just like Ghost Sites, there is also a hidden timer (45-60s) after which the tower explodes.
| |
| − | * '''Besieged Covert Research Facilities''', which are found only in low-sec<ref name="Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites" />, are closer to combat sites, containing multiple cruiser- and battleship-class NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. In addition, they may also contain destructible structures with loot: Guristas Research and trade Hubs and/or Thukker Labs.

| − | == How to Find Cosmic Anomalies ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cosmic Anomalies can be found by using your [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|onboard scanner]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | To find these sites, you simply jump into a system, check the onboard scanner and warp to any results. Cosmic Anomalies appear within a 4 AU range around planets. Open your onboard Probe Scanner by pressing ALT+P, and results will update automatically. When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On occasion you may need to 'jiggle the wires' of your onboard scanner by de-selecting and re-selecting the show all check box to encourage them to appear.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Difficulty and Classification ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Work in Progress|Until the information here is improved, especially for the non-combat sites, the exploration categories table at https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Category:Exploration has links to decent (not guaranteed to be up-to-date either) listings of all the various types of exploration sites, both signatures and anomalies. Evelopedia also has articles on the Besieged/Contested sites, but you'll have to search for e.g. "contested covert research" or "besieged covert research" to find them.}}
| |
| − | === Combat Sites ===
| |
| − | Combat site anomalies are ranked in difficulty by 10 levels/classes, and follow a naming scheme of (faction) (anomaly).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rank of the anomaly depends on the [[System Security|security status]] of the system you are searching in. Within [[high-sec]] (security status 1.0 to 0.5) the lowest third (in terms of difficulty/value) will be found. [[Low-sec]] (security status of 0.4 to 0.1) contains the mid third of them and the highest third will be found within [[nullsec]]. The anomaly names are identical for all factions with the exception of Rogue Drone sites, which also differ slightly in which classes of space they are found in.

| − | Some anomaly types may have more difficult variants in addition to the basic version, sub-divided into 3 more categories:
| |
| − | * (Faction) Hidden (anomaly) - easiest, but still harder than the basic version
| |
| − | * (Faction) Forsaken (anomaly) - middle
| |
| − | * (Faction) Forlorn (anomaly) - hardest
