Like missions, the type and amount of enemy ships found in a particular combat site is consistent across all instances of the site, with only a small, pre-determined amount of variance. In general, cosmic signature combat sites are considered to be both more dangerous and more rewarding than combat anomalies found in similar areas of space. Combat sites found as cosmic signatures may be further divided into DED rated complexes, unrated complexes, and chemical labs. The most notable difference is that anomalies do not need locating, while cosmic signatures must be found using Core Scanner Probes. The rewards for completing a given site can also vary due to the nature of rare loot mechanics: most sites have a (largely unknown) percentage-based chance to spawn a uniquely named enemy ship, which in turn has its own chance to drop random Deadspace or Faction modules, or even unique blueprint copies.Ĭombat sites are usually found via exploration and most fall into one of two broad categories: combat anomalies and cosmic signatures. Combat sites can be found throughout all types of space in New Eden, now including null security and wormhole space.

Combat Sites are a broad class of locations involving player versus environment (PvE) combat, usually in engagements against pirate faction enemies.
