Angel Cartel Occupied Mining Colony

Would be nice if it did but unfortunately no. Angel Cartel Anomalies don't escalate like the other Pirate Faction sites.

For example I've never had an expedition from Hideaway and Burrow sites but I've had lot's of Commander NPC's spawn.

Derelik is Ammatar space, different Pirate Faction there. You probably mean Molden Heath.

Anyway, don't get me wrong, the Hideaway Anomaly is really quick to complete and at least 1 out of 10 sites (usually less) will spawn a Commander NPC which has a chance to drop Faction / Deadspace loot. I can't give an estimate on the loot drop due to not keeping track.

I can say the Burrow Anomaly takes longer to complete and also has a good chance to spawn a Commander NPC, just not as good as the Hideaway sites.

I usually just run all Hideaway sites since I know they can be completed rather quickly and regularly spawn Commander NPC's. I only run the Burrow sites if there's no Hideaway sites available. Course I always go for all Cosmic Signature combat sites first, then run all Hideaway sites in system before going to another system. After a while of searching if none of those sites are available, I'll start running the other Anomaly sites.

Soooo, according to the Cosmic Anomaly page in Evelopedia, the Angel Anomaly sites should escalate to these DED Complexes.

Course that list is incorrect and incomplete.

I've completed 100's and 100's of Hideaway and Burrow sites and have never gained an escalation to the 1/10 and 2/10 DED Complexes listed. Now I have got escalation to Angels Red Light District from both Refuge and Den sites. I can't verify the other sites listed but I do know that someone else verified that the Angel Rally Point (which lists 'unknown') escalates to Angel Mineral Acquisition Outpost which isn't even a DED Complex. It's an unrated Cosmic Signature combat site which in itself also escalates.

Now if the anomaly sites actually escalated like they're supposed to escalate, I think the list would look more like this :


Anyway, if you're just hanging out in Minmatar high sec space looking to run some quick PvE sites, definitely don't count out the small Hideaway and Burrow sites. They do escalate, they just escalate with Commander NPC spawns. Also do a quick fly-by to the 'Landmark' sites, those will sometimes spawn Commander NPC's as well.

Edit :

I forgot to list the Class 9 Cosmic Anomaly - Angel Haven - which might escalate to Angel Domination Fleet Staging Point. Course that needs verification.

Nah I mean Derelik as I noticed the difference in the escalations of the Angel sites vs the Sansha in Derelik.

Cheers the summary info DMC make for a nice quick ref while wandering around.

The Angel Haven escalates to the Angel Cartel Navel Shipyard, the Forsaken Hub escalates to the Angel Domination Fleet Staging Point.

Correct


All 'named' angel hubs (forlorn, forsaken, Hidden) escalate to Angel Domination Fleet Staging Point (DED 9/10). Generally, 'named' sites escalate to one step higher than regular version, so while Angel Hub escalates to an 8/10, Forsaken Hub escalates to a 9/10.

This is why I love Angel Forsaken Rally Points, almost as good isk as Forsaken hubs, but escalates to the much less annoying 8/10 compared to forsaken hub's 9/10 (Fleet Staging Point used to be an unrated plex that CCP converted to be the "9/10").

So from my experience, the only Angel high sec Anomalies that escalate into expedition is Refuge and Den sites - both escalate to "Angel's Red Light District". The Hideaway and Burrow Anomalies only spawn Commander NPC's.

Do a test run and check it out, at least 1 out of 10 Hideaway sites (usually less) will spawn a Commander NPC. The Burrow sites don't spawn as many Commander NPC's as the Hideaway sites but it's still more frequent than all the other sites.

I believe the reason for that is due to not having expedition escalations.
