Purpose of this user space
This page will serve as a collaborative space for brainstorming and conceptualizing a minimum list of fits to run the five main Homefront Operations sites (ignoring Abyssal Artifact Recovery) in Gallente space, close to EVE Uni staging. The overarching goal of this list is to make it as Alpha-friendly and low barrier to entry as possible, to facilitate newer players joining in with this content. That means cheap and cost-effective fits without compromising on site completion and fleet safety. The goal is not maximum ISK/h efficiency, but the safe completion of the site within a reasonable amount of time.
Although this page is in User Space, Amfion welcomes everyone with an interest in seeing this project through to fruition to feel free to edit this page and make suggestions and amendments.

- The weapon is used to kill Serpentis ships. The damage of those pirate ships is negligeable, but they make it harder to see who's got aggro from the drone just by looking at who's flashing on the watchlist. So killing them is a nice QoL improvement.
The cap is stable with either self-tanking or remote tanking but not both. Don't leave your shield booster on if you don't need it.
Remember to stagger your remote shield boosters.

- There's a set of Miner II in the cargo hold if your skills allow you to use them. This fit is literaly useable by a brand new character without any training.
The resistance profile of the ships is pretty much flat, which means this fleet can be used in all 4 empires.
Suspicious Signal
- 2 DPS Cruisers (Exequror)
- 3 Hacking Cruisers (Exequror)
Raid
In Gallente space, this Homefront Operation is named Raid: Narcotics Lab and requires the fleet to warp disrupt ("point") and kill a respawning Nereus Mule NPC hauler three times for its loot. Once the three packages have been collected by the fleet's hauler, these are then moved off to an Impound Obelisk at the edge of the site, after which the site is complete and payout is given. Fits are optimized for running in Gallente space and are alpha-friendly and as accessible as feasible without compromising their safety.

Walkthrough
General
Pack some Nanite Paste, especially if you are flying one of the Caracals. Overheat damage on your modules can be repaired with the paste between sites, by right-clicking the damaged module and selecting Repair. Be careful not to "burn out" your modules by letting the heat damage build up to 100%. Heat only when needed (see below). If you are targeted and shot at within the site, you should announce so by using the Broadcast: Need Shield command from the Fleet menu, or by saying out loud on comms.
Entering the site
Assemble the fleet on the Acceleration Gate into the site. Use your Directional Scanner on 1AU range to ensure no one else is in the site (site is "clean"). Activate all Shield Hardeners and other "spinnies". The Scythe logi and Caracal damage dealers will take the acceleration gate together first - the hauler counts to ten and then joins them.
Caracal's task
The Caracals should pre-overheat their Microwarpdrives and upon landing, immediately burn towards point A (see image). Along the way, they lock up the Nereus Mule that spawns there and overheat their Warp Disruptor. Immediately upon entering range, the Caracals should attempt to point the Nereus Mule to prevent it from warping off, and start applying damage. Failing to catch the first Nereus Mule is not a problem, it only increases site completion time by a good 1-2 minutes. When the first Mule has been disposed or the Caracals are within 20 km of it, they can stop overheating their modules to prevent too much heat damage. Once the Nereus Mule has died or warped off, a new one will spawn shortly after. Again, the Caracals should immediately lock up, point (no overheat), and kill this Nereus. Rinse and repeat until three Nereus Mules have been killed. No other enemies need to be targeted or killed.
Hauler's task
Immediately upon landing, the hauler should begin to move in the direction of the Caracals with Microwarpdrive turned on (point A, see image). As your hauler should be capacitor stable, it is okay and even somewhat mandatory to leave the Microwarpdrive running for the whole site's duration. With every Nereus Mule that is killed, the hauler should approach its wreck (make sure your Overview filter shows wrecks) and loot the contents. Once three Nereus Mules have been killed and the hauler has picked up three packages, the hauler should move to the Impound Obelisk at the edge of the site with Microwarpdrive turned on (point B, see image). There, the hauler deposits the packages into the Obelisk and the site is completed. Payout is given to all fleet members, and the remaining enemies warp off.
Scythe's task
Once inside, the Scythe should immediately begin to orbit the beacon in the middle of the site and lock up all fleet members. If the Scythe has aggro themselves, they can use their local shield booster as needed to stay topped up. For capacitor purposes, do not repair someone while repairing yourself, and vice versa - only repair the fleet member that presently has aggro. The Scythe logi should be able to cope with all incoming damage and the Caracals are not required to shoot anything except the Nereus Mules. The logi pilot should remember to keep an eye on their watchlist, and the other pilots should remember broadcast for shield and/or announce on voice comms when they are taking damage.
