This article should be cleaned up or improved. The reason is: unspecified

This page lists various exploration sites that have been found and catalogued. There are also some more sites detailed on Evelopedia.

General Exploration Points

  • The more difficult a site is to scan down, the better the site will be.
  • There is a specific, constant amount of each type of site.
  • When a site is completed it spawns somewhere else almost immediately.
  • Sites have a 3 day timer, if they are not completed within that time they despawn at the next server downtime and will spawn somewhere else.
  • Sites are given a 3 letter - 3 number identification tag, for example ILN-883. This identification tag is changed each day at sever downtime.
  • The Group normally shows at around 30% signal strength; and the Type around 70%.
  • You are normally prevented from opening cans when defenders are near, so combat skills will be needed for sites where NPCs are spawned at the start - cloaked ships especially won't be able to sneak in and take the loot.
  • Site quality is also tied to system security, with greater risks come greater rewards


Ore Sites

  • Pre-Odyssey these were called Gravimetric Sites, they now no-longer require scanning and will show up when you enter a system or undock.
  • This site will despawn when it is completely mined or when its 3 day timer expires.
  • The Asteroids will be those that are found in the security level below the current level of the solar system and/or will be larger than normal.
  • When spawned each site will have all flavors of each type of asteroid. For example a Small Omber Deposit will have Golden, Silvery, and regular Omber Asteroids in the site.
  • NPC Pirates can and do spawn in these asteroid fields.
  • As these sites now appear without scanning they can be as busy as normal asteroid belts.
  • There is an emote given in local when you complete (mine out) the site.
  • When a site is first found, all the asteroids of that particular site may not be spawned initially. Some spawn over time. This has given rise to an old myth of gravimetric asteroid fields "refilling"; if at least one asteroid is left and not mined in the field. <Has this be verified post Odyssey?>

Gas Sites (Known Space)

  • This site will despawn when fully mined or when the 3 day timer expires.
  • Some sites may have loot cans with Blueprints and skillbooks that are associated with drug manufacturing.
  • Also see Mining:Gas Clouds

Nebulas

  • Nebulas in known space contain mykoserocin and cytoserocin gases, which are used in booster production.
  • Mykoserocin gases are the least profitable (so unprofitable that they are generally not worth the effort of mining), and the only gases found in high security space. They are also found in low security space. These gases are used in the production of synth boosters, which are very weak but legal in empire space.
  • Cytoserocin gases are usually worth mining, but are only found in low and null security space. These gases are used in the production of more powerful, illegal boosters.
  • Nebulas in nullsec space will often have pirate spawns; the gas clouds in nullsec are also unstable, and will periodically deal approximately 1,000 damage to a mining ship.

Chemical Labs

  • Chemical labs are illegal drug processing facilities run by NPC pirate factions.
  • These are combat sites, and also have hackable data containers. They do not contain minable gas.

Blood Raider Chemical Lab Aridia Low Unknown.
Elohim Sooth Sayer Distribution Base Unknown Low Combat/data site.
Serpentis Chemical Lab Solitude Low Combat/data site.

Relic Sites

  • This site will despawn when someone attempts to open a can and everyone leaves the site (whether successful or not) or the 3 day timer expires.
  • The loot from these sites usually consist of T2 Rig BPCs, normal salvaged materials (sometimes even rare salvaged materials), salvaging and rigging skillbooks.
  • Usually the loot corresponds to the specific region, for example Alloyed Tritanium Bars from Angel sites in Minmatar space.

Data Sites

  • This site will despawn after someone attempts to open a can and everyone leaves the site (whether successful or not) or the 3 day timer expires.
  • The loot from the containers normally has to do with invention such as decryptors, data cores, interface BPCs, other things used in T2 manufacturing, or skillbooks.
  • Usually the loot corresponds to the specific region, for example Minmatar Encryption Methods skillbook from Angel sites in Minmatar space.

Combat Sites

Cosmic Anomaly Combat Sites

Cosmic Anomaly Combat Sites do not require scanning before they can be run, they automatically show up as warpable in the scanner window. They have a chance to "escalate" to a DED-rated complex.

Cosmic Signature Combat Sites

Cosmic Signature Combat Sites require the pilot to scan them down before they can be run.

Basic Info

  • Combat sits or the actual location they inhabit, are often called "Complexes".
  • Most combat sites spawn a deadspace pocket around the site, preventing you from warping to anywhere other than the entrance acceleration gate.
  • Combat sites will despawn when the "Commander" is killed/destroyed and all players leave the site.
  • The beacon, that allows you to scan the site down as a cosmic signature, despawns immediately after the "Commander" is killed/destroyed.
  • The Commander of a site can be an enemy ship, or it can be a structure, and what the commander is depends on which site it is.
  • Unrated sites have the possibility to "Escalate" to another combat site, these sites are often called escalations, or expeditions.

Types of Combat Sites

Combat sites come in three general types, DED Rated Complexes, Unrated Complexes and Expeditions/Escalations.

DED Rated Complexes

DED Rated Complexes each have a difficulty rating associated with them on a ranking scale from 1/10 to 10/10. The rating can help to give a direct indication of the difficulty of the site, as well as the maximum size of ship that can be taken through the complexes acceleration gate. In general the ship hull class that can enter the site goes up by one as the rating goes up by one, until you reach 5/10.

Rating Maximum Ship Size Allowed
1/10 Frigate
2/10 Destroyer
3/10 Cruiser (Not including T3)
4/10 Battlecruiser
5+/10 Battleship

- Angel Mineral Acquisition Outpost : Though Unrated, seems to fill the role of the otherwise non-existent Angel 6/10 DED Site.

- There are no 9/10 DED Rated Complexes, some consider the [faction] Fleet Staging Point to be their equivalent.
Unrated Complexes

Unrated Complexes, unlike DED Rated Complexes, do not have a direct in game difficulty rating assigned to them. However thanks to Unrated Complexes roughly following the pattern of [Faction Name][Site Name] (i.e. Serpentis Base) their relative difficulties can be very easy to remember. The exception to this naming convention is the Rogue Drone sites, which are named totally differently.

The size of ship allowed in Unrated Complexes does not follow a predictable pattern, each site, even of the same size but from a different faction, can have a different ship size limit.

Expeditions / Escalations

When the commander of an Unrated Complex is destroyed, there is a relatively small chance that a pop up window will open explaining that details of the location of another enemy site have been found. The site's information is then added to the journal in the expeditions tab.

When the site listed in the journal is finished, there is a chance that it will escalate farther, leading to yet another site. Most expeditions have up to 4 parts.
