Running my usual route through nullsec tonight, I jumped into a system, scanned down a data site, and warped to it. Started on the first container and maybe 15 seconds in, 8 or so Guristas NPC's spawned and instakilled me. No warning whatsoever, and their icons looked rather strange. Felt like being CONCORDed to be honest.

I've run through this system dozens of times and this has never happened. I'm not here to complain; just trying to figure out what exactly happened so that I can avoid it happening again.

I was in system Q-F07F - Vale of the Silent, -0.3 sec status. It's a factional warfare location but this has never seemed to change anything in the past. I did some searching about why this occurred but found nothing. Any information would be great.

Thanks all.

Ghost sites were changed to scannable data sites.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Any way to tell the difference?

The name, pop-up message, and layout of the cans are all different.

If the pop-up says leave now or you will be destroyed, it's a ghost site lol

Ok thanks. I'll just have to be more careful I guess.
