'''Drone Horde''' is an unrated [[combat sites|combat site]] belonging to the [[Rogue Drones]] faction. It can be found via [[exploration]] as a [[Combat_sites#Combat_anomalies|cosmic anomaly]] in null-security systems across New Eden. As an ungated complex, the limitations as to which ships can complete this site are tied to the security rating of the system where the anomaly spawns (T2 [[Battleship]]s for high-security systems, and up to [[Titans]] in low-security and null-security systems). This combat site has a chance to spawn a Sentient Commander Rogue Drone, which drops drone components and may drop faction drone modules and items.

There's also a Horde variant, which does not include the initial turret setup, and doesn't have the rare Sentient spawn of the last wave.
This site comes in two forms: One which cointains a turret ring and a cloud gas centering a structure, and other that has 4 bunkers in the middle and many scattered in the corners of a square pattern.


==Walkthrough==
==Walkthrough (4-Bunker Variant)==
This site contains four bunkers at 30km from landing, and four other separated in a square pattern centering the bunker cluster. The initial wave spawns scattered between all four "corners" regarding the four non-central bunkers. The site shows some major inconsistencies regading the order and timing of wave spawning, resulting in some iterations spawning more than one wave at once, and in others skipping one entirely.


{{NPCTableHead|Initial spawn}}
{{NPCTableRow|Elite Frigate|2-4|Strain Infester / Splinter / Raider|point=yes|ewar=Web}}
{{NPCTableRow|Destroyer|1-3|Marauder / Dismantler / Predator Alvior}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|1-2|Crippler / Defeater / Exterminator Alvatis}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4-8|Alvus Queen / Matriarch Alvus}}
|}
After the initial spawn, the site will sequentially spawn these six additional waves (in a random order):
{{NPCTableHead|1x Destroyer & Battleship wave}}
{{NPCTableRow|Destroyer|3-4|Marauder / Dismantler / Predator Alvior}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battleship|4|Alvus Queen / Matriarch Alvus}}
|}
{{NPCTableHead|3x Cruiser & Battleship waves}}
{{NPCTableRow|Elite Cruiser|3-4|Strain Nuker / Bomber / Disintegrator Alvum}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battleship|3-4|Alvus Queen / Matriarch Alvus}}
|}
{{NPCTableHead|1x Battlecruiser & Battleship wave}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|3-4|Crippler / Defeater / Exterminator Alvatis}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battleship|3-4|Alvus Queen / Matriarch Alvus}}
|}
{{NPCTableHead|1x Frigate & Battlecruiser}}
{{NPCTableRow|Elite Frigate|2-3|Strain Infester / Splinter / Render}}
{{NPCTableRow|Battlecruiser|2-3|Crippler / Defeater / Exterminator Alvatis}}
|}
In whichever is the last wave, there is a chance of spawning an Infested Carrier
{{NPCTableHead|}}
{{NPCTableRow|Carrier|0-1|Infested Carrier}}

{{clear}}
==Walkthrough (Gas Ring Variant)==
Features a structure 30km app. from landing, 8x Lookout Tokers and a Battlecruiser as the initial spawn. Waves are spawned on different points of an horizontal ring with a 20km radius centering the middle structure. Each of these waves spawns a little deployable (not lootable) that diminishes incoming damage. This combat site has a chance to spawn a Sentient Commander Rogue Drone, which drops drone components and may drop faction drone modules and items.
