=== Contested Covert Research Facilities ===

The only known variant is the Contested Guristas Covert Research Facility ([https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contested_guristas_covert_research_facility evelopedia]). It contains 1 hackable can, called a Guristas Transponder Tower. If the hack fails or after about 45-60s from the first warp-in to the site (even if the can has already been emptied), the can explodes for roughly 2000 raw explosive damage. Even exploration frigate ([[Magnate]],[[Heron]], [[~~Helios~~]] or [[Probe]]) can be fitted to survive this with ~~some~~ tanking modules/~~rigs:~~ one could ~~for example swap~~ out ~~one~~ analyzer and the cargo scanner ~~often found~~ in ~~exploration fits~~ for a small ~~Shield Extender~~ and a ~~Explosive Deflection~~ Field, and ~~if necessary~~ change 1 lowslot module for a ~~Damage Control~~. These modules take ~~15m³ of~~ space ~~from~~ your cargo hold and can be fitted in at any nearby station, and back out once you've done the site (~~remember~~ to repair any armor/hull damage you may have suffered).

Even an exploration frigate ([[Magnate]],[[Heron]], [[Imicus]] or [[Probe]]) can be fitted to survive this with 2-3 cheap T1/meta [[Tanking|tanking]] modules swapped into the regular exploration fit: for example, on the Imicus/Heron/Probe using this wiki's basic exploration/scanning fits, one could keep only 1 analyzer and the microwarpdrive in the mid slots, swapping out the other analyzer and the cargo scanner (and whatever the Heron has in its 5th slot, but this isn't even really necessary, the Heron ends up with the largest tank even without it) for a small shield extender and a explosive deflection Field (add a 2nd deflection field on the Heron if you want), and change 1 lowslot module (usually speed/align modules on exploration ships) for a damage control if the fit doesn't have one yet. These modules take up fairly little space in your cargo hold and can be fitted in at any nearby station whenever you spot a contested covert research site, and back out once you've done the site. With the [[Magnate]] using the "exploration basic" fitting, just switching the drone damage amplifier to an armor explosive hardener should be enough, thanks to the 100mm reinforced plates, damage control and energized adaptive nano membrane already included in the fit; its limited mid slots and low base shield hp make shield tanking impossible while keeping both the microwarpdrive and an analyzer, compared to the extra low available for armor tanking. Note: The author of this section did model all 4 frigates in [[EFT]], using the suggested damage control I + explosive deflection field I + small shield extender I and with the "without skills" option, and got over 2k shield ehp vs. explosive on all the above ships except the armor-tanked magnate (which had about 2.5k ehp vs. explosive on shields and armor combined). However, TEST YOUR OWN FIT with a fitting tool and/or calculate your [[EHP]] vs. explosive before you go blow yourself up. Remember to repair any armor/hull damage you may have suffered afterwards (as noted, this should only be necessary with the Magnate).
