Rampant Drone Fabricator

C1–C6Wormhole SpaceRogue Drones

Found in: C1C2C3C4C5C6 B Community-corroborated Official announcement (23 Jul 2026) and the EVE University wiki both state it is permanent in C1 to C6.

A Rogue Drone site built around a central Fabricator, permanent in every wormhole class since 23 Jul 2026. Up to 100 escalating waves of drones. How hard each wave hits is set by a point system called Rampancy, which is driven by the ships near the Fabricator: the bigger the ships you bring, the harder it escalates. It is sized for small groups, and the official announcement puts solo play at roughly the first 40 waves. The Fabricator is invulnerable until wave 5 is done, then can be damaged for 20 seconds after each wave. The drones deal about 60% EM and 40% thermal damage and bring webs, ECM, neuts and sensor dampeners. Late waves add battleships and an Infested Naglfar dreadnought that neuts hard.

22 Sep 2026 changes (official patch notes, verbatim)

  • Decreased the drop rate of hybrid drones by 50%.
  • Increased the amount of Fabricator data by wormhole class: C1-C3: 33% increase. C4: 25% increase. C5/C6: 20% increase.
  • Made NPCs immune to warp disruption.
  • Reduced the damage Interdictors take from NPCs to 20% of normal.

Payout C Single-source / unverified

The drones themselves drop nothing. All payout comes from the Fabricator: Rampancy data dumps (the wiki gives about 200,000 ISK each) plus hybrid drones, growing the more waves you clear. On 22 Sep 2026 the patch notes cut the hybrid drone drop rate by 50% and raised Fabricator data by 33% in C1 to C3, 25% in C4 and 20% in C5 and C6. The ISK per data dump figure predates that patch and is single source.

Escalations

No escalations currently mapped. That is a statement about the Atlas, not the site. Mapping escalation chains is ongoing original research.
