Kill-order doctrine

• First: EWAR that threatens YOUR fit — neutralizers, webs, warp scramblers, tracking/guidance disruptors (target painters too if battleships are on grid).
• Second: remote-repair ships, if you can't out-damage their reps on other targets.
• Then: damage dealers in your preferred order. Abyssal NPC names state their abilities as a prefix/suffix — read the overview, it's telling you the kill order.

Enemy factions (damage to deal)

• Rogue Drones — the most common. Frigates = 'Tessella', battlecruisers = 'Tessera'; name prefix is the damage they deal (Spark=EM, Ember=Thermal, Strike=Kinetic, Blast=Explosive). The Overmind battleship deals Kin/Therm and gains a web at T5/T6; resists vary wildly by hull class.
• Drifters, Seekers and Sleeper drones — uniform resists; match the weather hole or bring raw damage.
• Sansha's Nation — weak to EM then Thermal (except the Devoted Knight: EM then Explosive).
• Angel Cartel — the mirror of Sansha: weak to Explosive and Kinetic.
• Triglavian Collective — weak to Explosive then Thermal, strong vs Kinetic/EM; their damage RAMPS the longer a fight runs, so clear speed is defence.
• CONCORD — uniform resists; EDENCOM — weak to Thermal and EM. CONCORD/EDENCOM rooms are the feared ones: heavy webs/painters + huge EDENCOM alpha (their Vorton chains can be baited into friendly fire within 10 km).

Security & suspect flag by tier (23.02, May 2026)

• 1.0 / 0.9 systems: T0 only, never suspect.
• 0.8: T0-T3 clean · T4-T6 flag you SUSPECT on activation.
• 0.7: T0-T4 clean · T5-T6 suspect.
• 0.6: T0-T5 clean · T6 suspect.
• 0.5 (and all low/null): everything clean.

In-pocket hazards (clouds & towers)

• Filament Cloud (orange): −40% shield booster amount and duration — with a conventional booster that means ~66% more cap per repped HP; active shield tanks stay out.
• Bioluminescence Cloud (blue): +300% signature for everyone inside — poison for speed-tankers, but you can drag small accurate rats in to hit them harder.
• Tachyon Cloud (white): ×4 velocity, −50% inertia — with a MWD hot that's ×8 acceleration and a real chance of slingshotting out of the pocket boundary, which kills you.
• Deviant Automata Suppressor tower: smartbombs missiles/drones in 15-40 km — kills light missiles and drones fast up close; also kills the rogue-drone frigates for you.
• Multibody Tracking Pylon: +60-80% tracking for EVERYONE nearby — helps you against small targets, helps Overminds and Marshals against YOU.

Filament prices — Jita sell, 2026-08-26 (refreshed with the data pipeline)

• T2 Agitated: 6.3k (Firestorm) → 70k (Electrical)
• T3 Fierce: 119.9k (Dark) → 2.6M (Gamma)
• T4 Raging: 487.5k (Firestorm) → 11.1M (Exotic)

What kills people (community corpus, support-counted)

• Karybdis Tyrannos — 'the Karen' (support=6, 2018-2025): full-HP Drifter battleship that hits like a train, neuts hard, and kites away at ~300 m/s dragging you across the pocket. Kill its webbing/neuting escorts first, keep transversal, never fly straight at it.
• The combo rooms (support=5): spawning inside a Bioluminescence cloud (+300% sig) next to Marshals or a battleship on a tracking pylon is the canonical instant loss — '5 Drainer Marshals in neut range and you're in a blue cloud.'
• Tachyon cloud + hot MWD = slingshot out of the pocket boundary; the boundary kills you.
• Early tiers: neut frigates are the killer — EWAR first is the whole doctrine.
• Downtime/server crashes inside a run lose the ship, and CCP declined reimbursement for a 2026 crash loss — check the time before you drop.
• Learning cadence, honestly stated: one heavily-cited 2025 account lost 19 Gilas in the first month of learning T4-T6.

The community ship ladder (corpus, support-counted)

• T0-T2: Worm (passive shield) is the alpha-friendly earner (support=5); Caldari assault frigates for Darks; 60-90M loot runs reported at T1-T2 solo (2025).
• T3-T6: the Gila is the workhorse — the budget 'Povertila' (~500M) up to 4.5B blinged T6 fits. 'Safe T4 Gila ≈ 2-3B with implants' vs runners uncomfortable past 500M: no consensus on bling threshold, only on the ladder.
• T4-T6 frigate-trio meta = Retribution + Deacon (or Nergal) in FIRESTORM (support=6): '700M/h' (2022) to 'up to 1B/h' (2024) claims — treat as ceiling-of-range, not expectation.
• T5-T6 alternatives: Ikitursa (nerfed by the 2024-25 Trig spool-time change — pricier, no longer dominant, not dead), Muninn/Cerberus as the cheap Dark hulls, Ishtar for exotic/electrical/gamma.
• Income spread across the whole ladder: ~15-20M per T0 run to claimed 900M-1B/h at T6 trios — a >50× range driven by bling, RNG and multiboxing; every figure is self-reported.

Payout B Community-corroborated

Triglavian materials, mutaplasmids and abyssal-only drops from the bio-cache each pocket + side caches. NPCs leave no wrecks and pay no bounties — the caches ARE the payout.
