Main article: Homefront operation

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies in highsec that require a group of pilots covering specific roles from standard roles like DPS and logi to less common roles in fleets such as hacking and hauling. Each having its own scenario and requiring its own group composition and strategy. The acceleration gate on the entrance allows only certain types of ships depending on particular type.

Mission details

Suspicious Signal: Secure the Intel - Armor Array

The aim of this site is to destroy a single structure. However, it starts invulnerable or cloaked and only gets vulnerable once 3 data cans are hacked. Each hacked can starts a 90 seconds timer, so if the cans are hacked simultaneously, there is a 90 second window for damaging the target. The hp of the target is estimated to be ≈410k.

Common group compositions are 5 DPS with strong active tank, 3 of which have Data Analyzer equipped; or 4 DPS with 1 Logi.

Hostiles

A fleet consisting of frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and battlecruisers will be present upon arrival. They will concentrate their fire on one capsuleer ship at a time, beginning with the first vessel to enter the site, and may periodically switch targets as a group. An exception applies to hostiles with the Atgeir, Blood, Smuggler or Guard prefixes: these will immediately target any drones that are deployed, but will revert to attacking the currently focused capsuleer ship if no drones are present.
