Cosmic Anomalies: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Cosmic Anomalies''' (not to be confused with [[Cosmic Signatures]]) are [[exploration]] PvE sites that can be found throughout 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#Combat_anomalies]]''' 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.

* '''[[Combat_sites#Combat_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.

* '''[[Combat_sites#Besieged_Covert_Research_Facilities|Besieged Covert Research Facilities]]''', sepcial combat sites which are found only in low-sec<ref name="Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites" />, are more similar to combat sites, containing multiple cruiser- and battleship-class NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. In addition, they may contain destructible structures with loot.

* '''Ore sites''' contain [[Asteroids and Ore|asteroids]] to be mined for minerals or ice products; the ore often includes types not normally found in systems of that [[Security Rating|security rating]], i.e. anomalies in high sec may contain low sec ore etc.

* '''[[Ghost Site|Ghost Sites]]''' (also known as "Covert Research Facilities") contain 4 data/relic cans to hack, which explode if the explorer fails the hack. Also, an invisible timer (about 2 minutes) starts on the first warp-in to the site, 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 cruisers or larger 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.

* '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Contested Covert Research Facilities|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/ Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites]</ref> and are very similar to the regular Covert Research Facilities (Ghost Sites). They contain 1 data/relic can that explodes if the hacking/archaeology attempt fails. Just like Ghost Sites, there is also a hidden timer (45-60s) after which the can explodes.

* '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Besieged Covert Research Facilities|Besieged Covert Research Facilities]]''', which are found only in low-sec<ref name="Contested and Besieged Covert Research Facility – Mordus Legion Contraband sites" />, are more similar to combat sites, containing multiple cruiser- and battleship-class NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. In addition, they may contain destructible structures with loot.

Note that this article only deals with the cosmic anomalies found in [[System Security#Known Space|known space]]; [[Wormhole Space|wormhole space]] has its [[Wormhole Sites|own sites]] with different names and mechanics.

Line 25:

Besieged Guristas Covert Research Facility is a special combat anomaly that appears only in lowsec. The site has two waves of Mordu's Legion cruiser and battleship rats. They use missiles and will use different damage types to test your resistances to find the weakest one, in addition to tackling you with webs and points. Notable loot, some of it coming from the destructible structures (Guristas Research and Trade Hubs and/or Thukker Labs) which may be found in these sites, includes higher-end implants and ship [[skin]] [[BPC]]s, as well as some special module BPCs.

~~=== Ghost Sites ===~~

~~{{main|Ghost Site}}~~

Ghost Sites occur in all classes of space, from high-sec to null-sec, and even in [[Wormhole Space|wormhole space]]. They are only divided into 4 difficulty/size categories, with progressively better loot but also more damage and rats (but always having 4 cans to hack). Ghost Sites are named according to a standard scheme of (size) (faction) Covert Research Facility, with (size) depending only on the security class of the system:

* "Lesser" in high sec

* "Standard" in low sec

* "Improved" in null sec

* "Superior" in wormholes
