Cosmic Anomalies

Combat site anomalies are ranked in difficulty by 10 levels, these are:

  • (Faction) Burrow / Drone Collection (easiest)
  • (Faction) Hideaway / Drone Cluster
  • (Faction) Refuge / Drone Assembly
  • (Faction) Den / Drone Gathering
  • (Faction) Yard / Drone Surveillance
  • (Faction) Rally Point / Drone Menagerie
  • (Faction) Port / Drone Herd
  • (Faction) Hub / Drone Squad
  • (Faction) Haven / Drone Patrol
  • (Faction) Sanctum / Drone Horde (hardest)

The rank of the Anomaly you could find depends on the security status of the system you are searching in. Within HighSec (Security Status 1.0 to 0.5) the lowest third will be found. LowSec (Security Status of 0.4 to 0.1) contains the mid third of them and the highest third will be found within NullSec.

An anomaly may be further sub-divided into 3 more categories:

  • (Faction) Hidden (anomaly) [easiest]
  • (Faction) Forsaken (anomaly) [middle]
  • (Faction) Forlorn (anomaly) [hardest]
Angel Cartel Blood Raider Guristas Rogue Drone Sansha's Nation Serpentis
Angel Burrow Blood Burrow Guristas Burrow Drone Collection Sansha Burrow Serpentis Burrow
Angel Hideaway Blood Hideaway Guristas Hideaway Drone Cluster Sansha Hideaway Serpentis Hideaway
Angel Refuge Blood Refuge Guristas Refuge Drone Assembly Sansha Refuge Serpentis Refuge
Angel Den Blood Den Guristas Den Drone Gathering Sansha Den Serpentis Den
Angel Yard Blood Yard Guristas Yard Drone Surveillance Sansha Yard Serpentis Yard

Angel Hub Blood Hub Guristas Hub Drone Squad Sansha Hub Serpentis Hub
Angel Haven Blood Haven Guristas Haven Drone Patrol Sansha Haven Serpentis Haven
Angel Sanctum Blood Sanctum Guristas Sanctum Drone Horde Sansha Sanctum Serpentis Sanctum


Note that Ghost Sites also appear as Combat Anomaly sites in the scanner output. They are very different, and you should read that page, before even warping to any Combat site with a name starting with Lesser/Standard/Improved/Superior - at the risk of being unexpectedly blown up.

Formula Mining Crystals

The formula for determining average life expectancy of a crystal is simple:

Life Expectancy (in cycles) = Structure Hitpoints / Volatility / Volatility Damage

One may then multiply the expected cycles by the cycle time to calculate a crystal's life expectancy over time. Remember that Volatility is a percentage, so for example, a crystal with a Volatility of 10% must use the value 0.10 in the equation.

Example

The Plagioclase Mining Crystal I has a Volatility of 10%, which means that for every cycle there is a 10% chance that it will receive damage. The amount of damage it receives will be the Volatility Damage value of 0.025 HP. It will shatter when its total damage reaches the Structure Hitpoints value of 1 HP.

This means that, on the average, the crystal has a life expectancy of 1 / 0.10 / 0.025 = 400 cycles. With a standard (unbonused) strip mining cycle time of 180 seconds, one may estimate that a crystal will endure approximately 72,000 seconds, or 20 hours, of constant mining before shattering.

Tech 2 crystals will last, on average, 200 cycles or 10 hours of constant mining with the standard cycle time of 180 seconds. Note that bonuses from an Orca or Rorqual (which can reduces cycle time by up to ~33%) will cut this life span to 7.5 hours.


Ore variants

Each asteroid type has two further subtypes, which yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when refined. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions (just in lower quantities). For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.
