It also appears that the explosion radius is about 10 km.

=== July 2025 Patch Updates ===

In the '''[https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/exploration-and-industry-balance-rework Exploration and Industry Balance Rework]''' released on '''17 July 2025''', CCP introduced several adjustments to Ghost Sites (Covert Research Facilities) aimed at improving risk‑reward alignment and accessibility, particularly for solo explorers.

==== Key Changes ====

* '''Timer consistency''': Ghost Site timers are now more predictable. A guaranteed '''30‑second delay''' occurs before site defenses (explosions and NPC spawns) are triggered, allowing a more reliable window to hack containers and warp out.

* '''Adjusted rewards''': Loot tables have been rebalanced so that higher‑risk sites yield proportionally better rewards.

* '''Reduced cargo volume''': Capital Control Components (e.g. '''Life Support Backup Units''' and '''Power Couplings''') now have lower volume, easing transport in exploration frigates.

* '''Fewer mines''': The number of explosive mines in capital‑tier Ghost Sites has been reduced, making navigation safer.

* '''Sleeper Cache additions''': Capital Control Components now have a chance to drop as bonus loot in '''Sleeper Cache''' exploration sites.

A recording of the CCP Dev Chat discussing these changes is available [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2IrNbH93Oc here].
