| You can expect to find battlecruisers as the most common enemy in most systems, with battleships being quite common as well, and destroyers used to "fill in" groups with battleships. Each system will have a few static group spawn types that are the most common, and you will rapidly learn which groups you can expect to see. Rare spawns will sometimes be their own kind of spawn group, but can also occur when an elite spawn replaces a normal ship in a typical group (see below; or, for example, a Shadow Serpentis battleship replacing one of the two high admirals in a group of two high admirals and two destroyers). Elite spawns may widen their bag of tricks beyond damping to webbing, warp scramming, and other EWAR types. | | You can expect to find battlecruisers as the most common enemy in most systems, with battleships being quite common as well, and destroyers used to "fill in" groups with battleships.

| Belt ratting is generally easier than doing combat sites, and can even be done in T1 destroyers like an [[Algos]] or [[Catalyst]], with high skills. An Algos with the recommended Uni mission blitz build will survive well as long as you never let your [[angular velocity]] towards a battlecruiser drop too low, but the Algos will have trouble breaking the tank of a higher-level battleship such as the 950k ISK-bounty High Admirals, it can be done safely but the time required eats into your ISK/hour earnings, and without good skills and T2 drones it may be difficult to make a dent into its tank. Belt ratting is safest done in cruisers like the [[Vexor]].

| '''These cannot spawn at the NSC''' <br>
| |
| Officer spawns are extremely rare named pirate NPCs. They have high bounties, but are done for the officer modules that they drop. Each pirate faction have their own officers, and these officers only spawn in select regions. Syndicate is NOT one of these regions, and as such officers do not spawn at the NSC.
