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

Belt ratting is the act of going from asteroid belt to asteroid belt, killing the pirate NPC ships that are found there, and then go on to the next asteroid belt and doing the same there. This is done to collect the bounty on the ships, as well as trying to get rare spawns and rare loot. There are a few different rare spawns you can encounter in asteroid belts, and the article will go more in-depth below. | Belt ratting is the act of going from asteroid belt to asteroid belt, killing the pirate NPC ships that are found there, and then go on to the next asteroid belt and doing the same there.

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], | 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. So one factor in choosing a system to kill rats in, is the true-sec of the system. Rats in asteroid belts respawn after about 20 minuttes, so you also want a system that have enough belts so you dont run out of pirat rats to kill. At the NSC, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/5-DSFH#sec 5-DSFH], are the best system to belt rat in, since it got a low s, 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). | ||
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 like the [[Vexor]] or [[Caracal]]. If undertaken in a destroyer, remember never to fly directly towards the hostile ships since it makes you far to easy to hit. | 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 like the [[Vexor]] or [[Caracal]].
