State Research Data Node
The State Research Data Node is a data site that can be scanned down for the Shipcaster Shadow War.
Scanning down the site
The site appears as a data site and is found in factional warfare systems controlled by the appropriate faction and also in high security space of specific constellations.
| Faction | Additional High-Security Constellations |
|---|---|
| Caldari Research Data Node | Aokinen, Minnen |
| Minmatar Research Data Node | Tiat, Ani |
| Amarr Research Data Node | Kisana, Ryra |
| Gallente Research Data Node | - |
Only T1 and Navy Faction frigates can enter these sites. Asteros are unable to enter, same goes for any Covert Ops Frigate.
Entering the site
|
WARNING: Upon entry you will be given a suspect timer, meaning you are a viable target for attack by other players. |
|
|
WARNING 2: These NPC rats will warp scramble you, web you, neut you, and warp disrupt you. If you are undertanked, you will die. |
|
|
WARNING 3: Upon entry a beacon will be placed in the site, making it possible to warp to the site without scanning it down. While killing the rats you are in a lot of danger and should watch D-Scan rigorously. |
Inside the site there will also be a number of frigate NPCs spawning. 5 groups of 5 frigate NPCs will spawn in waves while running the site. The groups will contain a number of Crow Mercenaries and Cheetah Mercenaries.
- Crow Mercenary
- These ones warp disrupt and try to keep range, but a regular afterburner should be able to catch up to them
- Cheetah Mercenary
- These come in close range and do considerable damage with webs, warp scramble, and neuts.
Site contents
Site will contain about 10 data nodes that can be hacked.
