Was it a ghost site?

What was the type of site exactly, as that will tell you if it was a ghost or not?

If they were attacking you they must have been on grid, but if you don't have your overview set to show them, then you'd need to look around to find them.

I'd say, check your overview settings. Your overview was probably not configured to show the NPCs.

well if i recall right ghost sites say ghost site right? this one only said research and it was odd that it didnt need to be scanned down.


and overview was fine, grabbed another ship and flew back, cleared the other sites whilst hoping that i could come acrossed my wreaked strat

Ghost sites are covert research facilities that you don't have to scan down.

Your Stratios probably died from the explosion rather than the rats. When the rats appear on grid you know the detonation is coming soon but a Stratios can be easily fit to tank both the rats and alpha of the site destruction.

No point fighting the rats as they don't drop loot or have a bounty, just activate defensive mods and tank the damage as the rats disappear after 30 seconds.

Yes ghost sites say "covert research facility" and depending on the system security status will be a lesser, standard, improved or superior facility.

then i dont think it was a ghost site, because it definitely didnt say covert. plus it looked like a normal old relic site with 4 cans

looks like ghost site.

some time ago (1-2 weeks) people discussed it. Ghose site NPCs aren't checked in overview by default and you cannot add them from menu. They have some special type which is not present in settings list.
The only way to add them is right click on object in space and press "add to overview".

If you don't see them at all press 'show all brackets'.

Oh no you lost the Strat? That's unfortunate.

Man if invisible **** started shooting at me, I would just GTFO and then figure out what the hell was going on later.

Why did it take the OP 2 hours and 6 posts to figure out that a cosmic anomaly that he could warp to without scanning down is not a standard "hack site"? Is this the minimal intuition needed for the new brand of exploration?

This definitely sounds like a ghost site, the NPCs that are part of a ghost site that spawn after a bit are 'new' NPCs so unless you reconfigured your overview, they don't show up.

As already mentioned, a strat can easily tank the site explosion and the rats for the 30 seconds they are around if you fit it properly.
1600mm plating is your friend.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

yep, all makes sense. im a little irritated with that little feature of these 'new' npcs. and with no explosion and not fitted for heavy tanking (only 800mm) i lasted 20sec if it wernt for the warp scramble i probably could of got away.

so its clear to those reading i OP do say it was my own dum fault. oh well. just have to buy a new one.

Sorry for the little off-topic, but can somebody tell me what damage-type the explosion in the ghost-sites does? Should be explosive, isn't it? Blink
