While [[Abyssal Deadspace|abyssal]] combat sites are also technically combat sites, they have very different rules and are outside the scope of this article. | While [[Abyssal Deadspace|abyssal]] combat sites are also technically combat sites, they have very different rules and are outside the scope of this article. | ||

Ratting in asteroid belts are greatly affected by the [[System security#True security|true-sec]] of the system it is being done in. Both the size of the bounties, as well as the chance of rare spawns, being affected by it, with lower true-sec giving better bounties and higher chance of rare spawns. At the NSC, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/5-DSFH#sec 5-DSFH], have the lowest true-sec and as such, are the best system to clear belts in. 5-D is also deep in the NSC pocket, and as such are slightly safer to be in (if you pay attention to intel etc). | Ratting in asteroid belts are greatly affected by the [[System security#True security|true-sec]] of the system it is being done in.

Belt ratting is generally easier than doing combat sites, and can even be done in T1 destroyers like [[Algos]] or [[Catalyst]], but are best done in cruisers. If undertaken in a destroyer, remember never to fly directly towards the hostile ships since it makes you far to easy to hit. | |||
Rats in belts use ewar such as webs, warp distrupters and scramblers, and damps. | Rats in belts use ewar such as webs, warp distrupters and scramblers, and damps. | ||
===Shadow Serpentis | ===Faction Spawns - Shadow Serpentis=== | ||
Elite versions of the normal rats with the prefix "Shadow" in front of their name. These ships are slightly harder to kill, have a much bigger bounty and drops [[Faction modules#faction|Shadow Serpentis]] | Elite versions of the normal rats with the prefix "Shadow" in front of their name.

===Serpentis Dreadnoughts=== | ===Capital Spawns - Serpentis Dreadnoughts=== | ||
If you warp to a belt and see a dreadnought there, you should warp out immediately! These ships are very powerful and need coordination to bring down. <br> | |||
Dreadnoughts and Shadow Serpentis Dreadnoughts are capital pirate ships. These rats hit hard and have a lot of tank, and as such you need a fleet (5+ people) to kill them. Should a dreadnought spawn while you are in a belt, warp off immediately, or face the possibility of it killing your ship. | Dreadnoughts and Shadow Serpentis Dreadnoughts are capital pirate ships.

===NPC Hauler Spawns=== | |||
This is a NPC freighters that are hauling around ores. These ships can drop more than 100.000.000 ISK in ores, and you want a hauler docked nearby so that you can loot the ores. Remember to bookmark the wreck when you switch into your hauler. <br> | |||
NPC hauler spawns are not the same as the NPC mining fleets. | |||
