As well as other players, New Eden is full of hostile NPCs which are nicknamed "rats" by players. These spawn at asteroid belts, in cosmic anomalies and at stargates.

The rewards vary depending on the security level of the system. In lowsec and even more so in highsec, the income is normally not high enough to justify ratting as a primary way to earn ISK. Efficient ratting in nullsec systems can be lucrative, if monotonous. [[Wormholes]] contain challenging rats who yield valuable loot, and offer a chance to combine exploration and combat skills. | The rewards vary depending on the security level of the system.

Incursions appear in various systems around New Eden, so incursion runners tend to be nomadic, moving from system to system following incursion areas. Incursions are rewarded with ISK and [[Loyalty Points]], though payouts are only made to a limited number of people on grid at the same time. For this reason, it is particularly important that each member of the fleet is effective in their role, and so they tend to fly [[battleships]] and T2 [[Logistics|logistics ships]]. <br /> | ||
{{euninote|For [[EVE University]] members, our [[EVE University Incursion Community]] always needs players to act as scouts or pickets, and this role does not require any specific skills or experience.
