Most Cosmic Anomalies are '''combat anomalies''' inhabited by pirates.<ref>The other type of anomaly involves harvestable resources, such as ore or ice. All other types of site, such as Relic and Data always appear as signatures and require a probe launcher, and therefore they are never anomalies.</ref> Unlike cosmic signatures, they do not need any scanning equipment to locate, and instead will automatically appear in the scanning window after a short delay upon entering a system. Because of this, combat anomalies, particularly those found in high-security space, represent an entry-level set of combat sites that many new players will encounter. All anomalies consist of a single grid without acceleration gates that can be entered by any type of ship. Combat anomalies will spawn multiple waves of hostile NPCs, and have a low chance to spawn a commander ship that can drop faction items; they also have a small chance of escalating into a DED rated complex. | Most Cosmic Anomalies are '''combat anomalies''' inhabited by pirates.<ref>The other type of anomaly involves harvestable resources, such as ore or ice.

With the exception of Rogue Drone sites, all combat anomalies follow a naming scheme of {{co|#9ef37c|<faction> <anomaly>}}. The {{co|#9ef37c|<anomaly>}} denotes the difficulty of the site, and follows an identical pattern for all factions except Rogue Drones. Generally, the higher the difficulty of the site, the higher the rewards for completing it. Each faction's sites will only appear in their designated regions (with the exception of [[Rogue Drone]] sites, which can appear anywhere). For example, the Heimatar region has [[Angel Cartel]] rats, and therefore only Angel Cartel and Rogue Drone combat sites can be found there. For a list of which pirate factions can be found in which regions, see [ | With the exception of Rogue Drone sites, all combat anomalies follow a naming scheme of {{co|#9ef37c|<faction> <anomaly>}}.

The difficulty of possible combat anomalies depends on the [[System Security|security status]] of the system, with higher security status equating to easier sites. Within [[high-sec]] (security status 1.0 to 0.5), sites in the lowest difficulty tier (in terms of difficulty/ value) will be found. [[Low-sec]] (security status of 0.4 to 0.1) contains the middle tier, and the highest tier will be found within [[nullsec]]. The security level of the space where Rogue Drone sites are found also affects the difficulty of the site. | The difficulty of possible combat anomalies depends on the [[System Security|security status]] of the system, with higher security status equating to easier sites.

'''Besieged Guristas Covert Research Facility''' is | '''Besieged Guristas Covert Research Facility''' is a unique cosmic anomaly found in all low sec regions that spawns two waves of Mordu's Legion cruisers and battleships equipped with webifiers and warp disruptors. Unlike other enemies, these ships are able to switch damage types to find what is most effective against a given target (instead of dealing omni damage). | ||
Besieged facilities are not to be confused with [[Ghost Sites]], which are found in all types of space, can belong to any faction, and are hacking analyzer focused. There are no other pirate faction versions of the besieged site as of 2018. Notable loot includes higher-end implants and ship [[skin]] [[BPC]]s, as well as special module BPCs. | Besieged facilities are not to be confused with [[Ghost Sites]], which are found in all types of space, can belong to any faction, and are hacking analyzer focused.
