Quick answers

Where is the Frontier Command Post in EVE Online?

The Frontier Command Post spawns in wormhole space (C4 systems). How you find it: anomaly.

What spawns in the Frontier Command Post?

The Frontier Command Post has 3 waves and about 32 NPCs: 5 battleships, 10 cruisers, 5 tactical destroyers and 12 frigates. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the triggers are Emergent Preserver and Awakened Defender.

What should I tank and shoot in the Frontier Command Post?

The heaviest wave in the Frontier Command Post deals about 1,196 DPS and the site holds about 804,980 EHP to grind through. Up to 4 NPCs scram at once, so you cannot simply warp out. Peak capacitor neutralising is about 12 GJ/s.

What ship do I need for the Frontier Command Post?

As a rule of thumb, tanking the heaviest wave of the Frontier Command Post in full (about 1,196 DPS) takes a battleship or marauder. Its NPCs scram, so if your tank breaks you cannot simply warp out. Pulling waves carefully lowers what you need to tank.

How much is the Frontier Command Post worth?

The Frontier Command Post is worth about 92.3M ISK in blue loot at current prices.
