Guide to combat sites: Difference between revisions

|}This page covers some Angel Cartel cosmic anomalies and low-level [[Exploration]] sites that are doable by a new player and found in the systems around Aldrat. They should only require a [[scanning]] frigate and a combat frigate/destroyer to complete, and many of them can be found with the [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|onboard scanner]] instead of needing a scanning frigate with probes. [[Salvaging]] capabilities will also be very handy if you want to make some additional ISK. Once you get good at clearing sites you can make several million ISK per hour from basic sites.

The basic skills you'll need (apart from normal combat skills) include: {{sk|Science|Astrometics|I}} (for scanning), {{sk|Spaceship Command|Destroyers|I}} (to fly a destroyer), {{sk|Mechanic|Mechanic|III}}+{{sk|Electronics|Survey|III}}+{{sk|Mechanic|Salvaging|I}} (for salvaging) and {{sk|Science|Science|IV}} (for tractor beams).

#While you do this, you bookmark a wreck at each site, and one for each 'room' if there is more than one. This is because the site will disappear once it has been completed and warped away from - but the wrecks will remain.

#Come back and salvage everything - Keep in mind that wrecks will last for a maximum of 2 hours.

Please note that there are [[SOP|specific rules]] against most exploration activities while a [[War|wardec]] is active. Clearing [[K-space]] anomalies and signatures is forbidden, as is scanning on an in-corp alt in most cases. Specifically encouraged, however, is scanning for wormholes on an out-of-corp alt and then clearing anomalies inside the wormhole, since this generally requires a good-sized fleet that is ready for PvP and has scouting abilities.

Here are some example Minmatar fits. Short-range ships are generally preferred since sites often consist of a single structure that will spawn enemies and be fairly close to the warp-in point.

===Basic Scanning (Probe)===

*Core Probe Launcher/8 Core Scanner Probes

*Salvager I

* [empty]

*2x Nanofibre Internal Structure I

===Advanced Scanning (Probe)===

*Core Probe Launcher I/8 Core Scanner Probe I

*Analyzer 1

*Codebreaker I

*2x 200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I

*3x Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I

The extra buffer the armor plates provide should be enough to tank the spawns at lowlevel magnetometric/radar sites while the analyzer/codebreaker is used. You could also fit an active armor tank if you need to spend longer in the site.

===Combat (Thrasher)===

*7x200mm Autocannon I/EMP S (grouped in 4+3)

*1MN Afterburner I

*Medium Shield Extender I

*Medium Shield Booster I

*Damage Control I

*Shield Power Relay I

===Salvaging (Thrasher)===

*4x Salvager I

*3x Small Tractor Beam I

*1MN Afterburner I

*Small Capacitor Battery I

*2x Expanded Cargohold I

Depending on your skills and salvaging style you may find that you want to change the ratio of salvagers and tractor beams. Experiment!

==Cosmic Anomalies==

Cosmic anomalies are the first type of exploration site, and can be found (and warped to) with the ship's scanner or a single probe. With probes, simply get one out, set it as big as it will go and scan the system. As soon as you cover a cosmic anomaly you'll get a 100% hit that you can bookmark and ignore.  

Cosmic Anomalies can also be found using your onboard scanner and are designed to appear within 4 AU range around planets. Fly to each planet, open your onboard scanner by pressing CTRL+F11, select the "System Scanner" and press the "analyze" button tab (you may need a few goes to pick up the harder ones, possibly 10 or more times). When you have found an anomaly warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly is been completed it will disappear after you warp out, so make sure to bookmark the wrecks if you want to salvage them.

Spawns frigates only.

2 examples:<br/>

4 hijacker--3 thug--1 ambusher--4 hijacker--1 raider<br/>

4 rogue--3 rogue--2 outlaw--3 rogue--1 raider

===Angel Den===

Spawns frigates and cruisers - thanks to Lir O´Trog for the data (cleared with a cruiser).

2 X Heavy Missile Installation<br/>

6 X Gistii Hunter<br/>

3 X Gistior defacer<br/>

2 X Gistior defiler<br/>

3 X Gistior Shatterer<br/>

3 X Gistior Trasher<br/>

2 X Gistium Breaker<br/>

3 X Gistium Crusher<br/>

2 X Gistium Depredator<br/>

2 X Gistium Predator<br/>

Spawns frigates and cruisers.

Tips: Just orbit the cruisers at 500m with an afterburner on and they wont hit you at all, kill them last. Approach the 2 destroyers in the 3rd group, kill em quick and get back to orbit. It's way easier than the worst Angel Refuge if you have some practice.

===Angel Forsaken Hideaway===

spawns frigs, elite frigs, destroyers - complete data missing=

===Angel Hidden Hideaway===

spawns frigs-cruisers

===Angel Hideaway===

spawns only frigs

===Angel Refuge===

spawns frigs+destroyers

==Static Complexes==

Static Complexes are beacons in space, linked to a deadspace encounter, that are always present and don't despawn when completed. The beacons are visible on the overview and the solar system map. There is a nearby Angel complex in Hardbako called 'Angel Creo-Corp Mining'. It will not allow cruisers or larger ships through the first acceleration gate, so is ideal for a new combat pilot. Each gate after that requires a key that is dropped from a guarded structure:

* deadspace syncronization HQ for second room key

* creocorp main factory for third room key

===[[Angel Hideout]]===

spawns frig-cruiser - open for frig-destroyer

===[[Angel Lookout]]===

spawns frig-dest+elitefrigs - open for frig-BS

===[[Angel Watch]]===

spawns ??? - open for up to battlecruiser - angel silver tag needed -INCOMPLETE!!!

===[[Angel Vigil]]===

spawns at least cruisers - open for up to battlecruiser - some key needed - INCOMPLETE!!!

==Escalations==
