'''Cosmic Anomalies''' (not to be confused with [[Cosmic Signatures]]) are [[exploration]] PvE sites that can be found throughout EVE. They are found using the [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|system scanner]], and require no skills to locate (unlike [[Cosmic Signatures]], which require probes and probing skills). There are several types of Cosmic Anomalies: | |||
* '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Combat Sites|Combat Sites]]''' contain multiple NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship. They come in a variety of difficulties depending on the security level of the space where they are found. | * '''[[Cosmic Anomalies#Combat Sites|Combat Sites]]''' contain multiple NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship.

Combat site anomalies are ranked by difficulty into 10 levels/classes, and follow a naming scheme of {{co|#9ef37c|(faction) (anomaly)}}. Generally, the higher the difficulty of the site, the higher the rewards for completing it. Each faction's sites will only appear in regions where their rats are normally found (with the exception of Rogue Drone sites, which can appear anywhere). For example, the Heimatar region has Angel Cartel rats, and therefore only Angel Cartel and Rogue Drone combat sites will be found there. For a list of which pirate factions can be found in which regions, see [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Template:Pirate_Faction_Occupancy EVElopedia]. | Combat site anomalies are ranked by difficulty into 10 levels/classes, and follow a naming scheme of {{co|#9ef37c|(faction) (anomaly)}}.

Note: The author of this section did model all 4 frigates in [[EFT]], using a damage control I + explosive deflection field I + small shield extender I (except for the Magnate, as noted) and with the "without skills" option, and got just over 2k (Imicus) to 2.7k (Heron with 1 EDF) shield ehp vs. explosive damage on all the above ships except the armor-tanked magnate (which had about 2.5k shield+armor ehp vs. explosive, with AEH+100mm plates+DC+EANM). However, TEST YOUR OWN FIT with a fitting tool and/or calculate your [[EHP]] vs. explosive damage 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). | Note: The author of this section did model all 4 frigates in [[EFT]], using a damage control I + explosive deflection field I + small shield extender I (except for the Magnate, as noted) and with the "without skills" option, and got just over 2k (Imicus) to 2.7k (Heron with 1 EDF) shield ehp vs. explosive damage on all the above ships except the armor-tanked magnate (which had about 2.5k shield+armor ehp vs. explosive, with AEH+100mm plates+DC+EANM).
