Walkthrough

• Scarcity Update: This site, like other cosmic signatures, contains ore.
• As of 15 February 2021, this site contains the following units:
• First room: 3x 5,000 Hemorphite (15,000 units, 45,000m³), 25,000 (50,000m³) Jaspet
• Second room: 85,727 Omber (51,436m³), 835,762 Plagioiclase
• 3,192,395 Veldspar (throughout)
• The acceleration gate permits expedition frigates, exhumers, and the Orca to enter the site. An Orca and Skiff were sufficient to kill all NPCs present.

• Warning: Once the Boss has been destroyed, the site disappears from the Probe Scanner.
• Once this happens, the site will despawn immediately if you abandon the site.
• Keeping at least one character in the site will prevent the despawn.

While mining after the site is complete, an additional frigate may occasionally spawn.

First Room

The acceleration gate to next room is locked until all ships have been destroyed. The missile battery does not need to be destroyed to proceed. Shooting at each group once before deploying drones avoids drone aggro.

The gate to the second room is 27km from warp in.

Escalation

This site has a chance to escalate to Angel Kickbacks.

Expeditions: Angel Kickbacks
As soon as you arrive, your instruments detect a large group of ships departing. Further analysis of the data indicates this was a convoy of six to eight transport ships from the Salvation Angels accompanied by an unknown number of combat vessels. Your navigational systems have already come up with a likely destination in case you feel you have any business with them.

Failure message:

Escalation Failure
The trail seems to have run cold at this point.
