Filaments are items which can instantly transport a ship or a small fleet. There are four types of filament, with quite different effects and uses:

  • Abyssal filaments transport pilots to a randomly-chosen pocket of Abyssal Deadspace, where they will face difficult time-limited PvE combat challenges with potentially lucrative rewards.
  • Needlejack filaments transport pilots to randomly-chosen parts of nullsec space which will be either high in activity ("Signal" filaments) or low in activity ("Noise" filaments)
  • Pochven filaments transport pilots either to a randomly-chosen part of Pochven, or from Pochven into a randomly-chosen part of lowsec or highsec space.
  • Proving grounds filaments transport players to the Abyssal Proving Grounds for PvP challenges against randomly-chosen opponents, with ship and equipment restrictions.

Although they differ considerably in their destinations, all types of filament are alike in including an element of randomness.
