Improved formatting and style. Maybe someone could convert the modules into a recommended fritting for e.g. a Maller? |
m Apparently, CCP styles them as "Ghost Sites" (note capitals :) )... |

Ghost | Ghost Sites are pirate facilities which can be hacked (like data and relic sites), but which have unique mechanics which set them apart. They were introduced in the [[Rubicon]] expansion. | ||

Ghost | Ghost Sites can be found using the system scanner, without needing to [[Scanning & Probing|use probes]]. They shows up as cosmic anomalies (type: combat sites), and occur in all categories of space (hi-sec, low-sec, null-sec and wormhole). They show up in the anomaly list as "<size> <faction> Covert Research Facility". The <size> is solely dependent on the [[security status]] of the system: | ||
* "Lesser" in high-sec | * "Lesser" in high-sec | ||
* "Standard" in low-sec | * "Standard" in low-sec | ||

When a | When a Ghost Site is entered a pop-up message shows up that warns the capsuleer that the site is dangerous. Note that there is an occasional bug with the scanner window which may cause anomalies (including Ghost Sites) to not show up. Uncheck and recheck the "show anomalies" checkbox to make sure you don't miss any. | ||

The Stratios or a Strategic Cruiser are excellent for running Ghost Sites, but these ships are very expensive and make for juicy targets during wartime. T1 exploration frigates or covert ops frigates are not recommended for running Ghost Sites, as while these ships are fast and make for excellent hackers, they tend to be too fragile to survive the explosion and/or the rats in Ghost Sites. | ||
