'''DED complexes''' are a type of [[cosmic signature]] [[Scanning:Scan Results#Cosmic Signature Combat Sites|combat site]]. The sites are rated from 1/10 to 10/10; lower-rated sites contain weaker enemies, but are also limited in the size of ship which may enter them.

==Finding DED complexes==

DED (Directive Enforcement Department), the police enforcement arm of Concord, maintains detailed maps and reports on many [[Deadspace]] areas within the universe. Information from many of these reports is available to the public free of charge. A rating system is used to determine the danger associated with each complex. This rating is used to determine both the dangers involved and any restrictions on certain ship types that keep them from using the acceleration gates.

~~===Ratings===~~

DED Complexes can only be found by [[Scanning|using scan probes]] or through an escalation from completing a [[Cosmic Anomaly]].

~~The~~ DED ~~report value also indicates what types of ships the acceleration gates are capable of handling (A player may also access a Deadspace~~ using ~~ship types~~ from a ~~DED rating below the category rating of the complex)~~.

~~1/10 Frigate ~~

==Ship restrictions==

~~2/10 Destroyer ~~

DED complexes are restricted to the following ship classes (and smaller; Frigates and Destroyers can enter 3/10 complexes, for instance).

3/10 ~~Cruiser * ~~

~~4/10 Battlecruiser * ~~

~~5/10 Battleship ~~

~~6+ No Restriction ~~

~~Note~~: * T3 Strategic Cruisers and ~~Orcas [http:/~~/~~community~~.~~eveonline.com~~/~~news~~/~~patch-notes~~/~~patch-notes-for not allowed as of Odyssey update]~~

~~==How do I Find the Deadspace Complex?==~~

DED Complexes can '''only''' be found via using scan probes OR through an escalation from an anomaly. DED Complexes were once complexes that would show up on your overview and could be warped to directly, but they were moved to the exploration system some time ago.

==Completing a DED complex==

==~~What do I do once I Enter~~ a ~~Deadspace Complex?~~==

Once you arrive at the complex, you will receive an incoming message to give you some information about the complex and its difficulty level.

Some complexes are very challenging and can not be completed by a solo player.

Some complexes are very challenging and can not be completed by a solo player. At this point, there may be a need for combat as well as determining how the next gate may be activated. Gates are generally activated with a key, passcard or cipher, which are often well guarded by an overseer for that Deadspace pocket. Keys may be found within an on-site structure, such as an asteroid colony or a control tower (normally located centrally in every Deadspace pocket); you need to blow this up and loot it. Or, the key may simply be stored in a secured and guarded container. Keep in mind that not all gates need keys, and in those cases you need to try them out and see what they require (if you don't meet the requirements, you will receive notification).

*Warning: The keys needed for some gates may be single use only, and disappear from your cargo hold once used. This means that you should enter the complex fully prepared, as you can't come out to restock on ammunition, or to come back with a salvaging ship. If you wish to take a fleet through such a gate, then everyone must be present and ready to activate it after the person with the key, in the short timeframe that it is unlocked.

==~~What Do I Gain?~~==

==Rewards==

First of all, there is a lot of money to be made through Deadspace complexes. Inhabitants of the complexes often have generous bounties on their heads, which are automatically deposited into your account once they are eliminated.

* You cannot warp between points inside the Deadspace area. However you can still warp out from Deadspace areas.

* You cannot warp to arbitary point in deadspace. All warpins will land to same warpin area.

Please note that the 6/10 Angel Pirates/ Serpentis Corporation sites do not exist. However, the [[Angel Mineral Acquisition Outpost]] and [[Serpentis Logistical Outpost]] are regarded by CCP as the complexes intended to fill their spot.
