This page is about the Combat Site. See Ghost Sites for info on the hacking site

Besieged Covert Research Facility is only found in Low Security Systems.

You will need:

• a long range Battleship equipped with a Micro Jump Drive or Tech III Cruiser or
• a ship that can sustain fire from up to five powerful Battleships

Tips:

• Site is rigged with explosives and will detonate after 20 minutes
• Killing Mordu's ships does not reduce Faction Standing
• Wave 1 spawns only if you are within 30 km of the Structures
• All ships are called Mordu's Legion Battleship even the Cruisers
• All ships fly up to 380m/s
• All ships use shield boosters
• Resist Kinetic and deal Kinetic damage
• Prevent the Site from disappearing by destroying the Thukker Component Assembly Facility

You should resist Kinetic damage because:

• The Cruiser's missiles deal Kinetic damage
• The Battleship's perfect accuracy and infinite range Thermal/Kinetic/EM turrets deal 350 damage per shot while their missiles deal 900 Kinetic damage per shot
• The Commander's turrets deal all damage types, but have poor tracking and their 54 km range missiles deal Kinetic damage

You should deal Kinetic damage because:

• The Cruiser is weak to EM, but have low HP
• The Battleship's shields are weak to EM and armor is weak to Explosive, but the lowest average resistance is Thermal
• The Commander is weak to Kinetic, but has high HP

Stay out, capsuleers! This is a private matter and your interference is not welcome. If you engage our forces, interfere with our task, or do anything else except leave immediately, we will have no choice but to attack you.

The Site is empty at first. The Wave 1 spawns 15 seconds after you warp in.

Thank you for rescuing us, capsuleer! This is delicate research we've been doing, and these attacking forces might have ruined it completely.
