Anomic missions

Anomic Missions (also known as Burner Missions or Anomic Burner Missions) are Level 4 Security Missions. They can be declined without a Standing Penalty. Similar to Abyssal Deadspace, Anomic Missions are a more advanced and challenging type of PvE combat content.

Anomic Missions are unique because you will:

fight a few powerful ships designed to imitate capsuleers using excellent Skills, Faction Modules, Implants and Combat Boosters.
pilot a small Ship Class, equipped with expensive and powerful modules
need to use overheating, manually pilot your ship, and have well-trained character skills
receive a large amount of ISK, Loyalty Points and even valuable faction modules to use or sell to other players

Anomic Missions often require careful thought about fitting your ship for the challenge. You are encouraged to try out your Ship Fittings for Anomic Missions on the Singularity Test Server when it's available, as doing this will let you determine what works well without putting expensively-ships at risk.

Strategies

Anomic Team

These are the most beginner friendly and are possible to complete in a T1 frigate such as a Kestrel with a proper kiting fit. To complete them solo in e.g. a Kestrel requires high frigate and missile skills, but they get much easier and accessible to low-SP pilots with two or more players. They are usually completed by kiting in MWD ships that can deal damage over at least 20-30km, though it should be noted that for some burners (notably the Jaguar) kiting ships are vulnerable to Wrecking shots which deal enough damage to kill in two hits or less. ECM to jam the logi support and target painting is also very useful. Tactics revolve around either attacking the Assault Frigate and powering through the logi reps or jamming one logi while killing the other.

Anomic Agent

These are the next step up in difficulty and usually will require a tackle-fitted assault frigate to comfortably do. Exact tactics will generally vary between individual burners but faction and deadspace tank fits are usually needed with damage application support.

Anomic Base

These are the hardest tier of anomic missions and will usually require a specific ship type, fit and skillset to do them that varies depending on the specific mission. The Serpentis anomic base is doable with a fast and high DPS brawling assault frigate and good piloting skills to evade the Talos' poor tracking but hard hitting turrets, the other bases will generally require a Pirate Faction or Heavy Assault Cruiser with faction/deadspace module tank and damage application support.
