'''Deadspace''' is a type of space with special warp and entry restrictions. A deadspace complex, and each of its inner pockets, can only be accessed by jumping through a connected [[acceleration gate]]. Pockets of deadspace cannot be warped into directly, whether from inside or outside of the complex. Deadspace is associated with [[missions]], [[cosmic signatures]], and other instanced content. A deadspace complex expires and becomes inaccessible some time after its content is completed.
'''Deadspace''' is a type of space with special warp and entry restrictions in EVE Online. A Deadspace complex, and each of its inner pockets, can only be accessed by jumping through a connected [[Acceleration Gate]]. Pockets of Deadspace cannot be warped into directly, whether from inside or outside of the complex. Deadspace complexes include [[missions]], certain [[exploration]] sites, and other instanced content, and a Deadspace complex expires some time after its content is completed.

A '''Pocket''' is a single [[Grid]] of Deadspace (other names being ''Room'' or ''Stage''). In most scenarios, the player will encounter multiple deadspace pockets linked together by [[acceleration gate]]s. These linked deadspace pockets form a so called '''Deadspace Complex'''.  
A Deadspace Pocket is a single [[grid]] of Deadspace (analogous to a ''Room'' or ''Stage''). A Deadspace Complex contains one or more pockets, linked by [[acceleration gate]]s.  


The initial Warpin point provided by [[Agents|mission agents]] or successfully [[scanning]] a [[Combat sites#Cosmic Signatures|Cosmic Signature]] leads the player to the entrance of a deadspace complex. This entrance or ''Pocket 0'' contains just a single [[acceleration gate]] but all further explained mechanics already apply to this [[grid]]. Once activated, the [[acceleration gate]] warps the player's ship to the next pocket of the complex. [[mission]] guides refer to these subsequent pockets as ''Pocket 1,2,...'' and so on, which again contain [[acceleration gate]]s leading deeper into the complex (except the last pocket of the complex).
Types of Deadspace Complexes include:


===Warping inside a deadspace pocket===
* [[Mission]] sites
The warp drive can't be used inside a deadspace pocket. Neither warpable objects nor [[bookmarks]] can be used to warp around inside the pocket. When trying to initiate a warp the following message is displayed and also voiced by the ship's computer [[Aura]]:
* Certain [[Cosmic Signatures]] including:
** Combat sites
** Data and Relic sites
** [[Faction Warfare]] Complexes and Battlefields
* [[Abyssal Deadspace]]


''You cannot warp there because natural phenomena are disrupting the ship.''
Capsuleers may warp to the entrance of a Deadspace Complex. This entrance, or ''Pocket 0'', contains a single [[acceleration gate]] which leads to the first pocket, ''Pocket 1'', of the complex. A complex can contain one or more pockets, depending on the complex type or mission script.


Warping to a [[bookmark]] or object outside of the complex however is still possible.
Note that a Deadspace complex entrance (Pocket 0) is itself considered Deadspace and is subject to Deadspace warp restrictions.


===Warping to a deadspace pocket===
===Warping inside of Deadspace===
When warping to a [[bookmark]], player, or beacon inside or on grid with the gate outside a deadspace complex, the ship will always be redirected to center of the outside pocket. This may be at 0km on the gate, or at 0km on a the beacon in some cases (for example, the [[Encounter Surveillance System]] gate is a few kilometers from the beacon).
 
Capsuleers may not warp to a ship, fleet member, or bookmark within their own Deadspace pocket or complex. (Attempting to do so will trigger an error message: ''You cannot warp there because natural phenomena are disrupting the ship.'') Deadspace must be traversed with sub-warp engines and modules like the [[Afterburner]] and [[Microwarpdrive]], as well as [[acceleration gate]]s.
 
A [[Micro Jump Drive]] may be used in Deadspace, to traverse ~100km distances.
 
Capsuleers may warp out of Deadspace to any non-Deadspace location as normal.
 
===Warping to a Deadspace pocket===
When warping to a [[bookmark]], player, or beacon inside or on the grid with the gate outside a Deadspace complex, the ship will always be redirected to the center of the outside pocket (Pocket 0). This may be at 0km on the gate, or at 0km on a beacon in some cases (for example, the [[Encounter Surveillance System]] gate is a few kilometers from the beacon).


When warping in at range, the ship will land at that range from the gate. It isn't possible to warp to another pocket from outside the complex. Also, it isn't possible to warp to another pocket of the same complex from inside the complex itself, including pocket 0.

The following are all examples of ways to end up at 0km outside a deadspace complex:
* Capsuleers may jump through an [[Acceleration Gate]] at a range as far as 100km. (See [[Acceleration Gate]] for more mechanics.)

There are a few restrictions regarding [[Modules|module]] usage. [[Jump_drives#Cynosural_Fields|Cynosural Field Generators]] of any sort do not work inside deadspace. Mobile Structures that require [[anchoring]] like Mobile Warp Disruptors (Bubbles) can be launched, but not anchored.

When a ship inside a deadspace complex is scanned via [[Scanning#Probe Scanning|combat probing]], the resulting warpin is redirected to the gate in pocket 0.
