==Ore Anomalies==

[[File:Ore Site.png|thumb|right]]

Virtually all systems in k-space have asteroid belts which can be used for mining various ores depending on a region and security status of systems containing them. Ore Anomalies work in a similar way. On wapr-in capsuleers are presented with a bunch of asteroids to mine. Just as with regular asteroid belts, these sites may be guarded by rats, so miners should be ready to deal with them in one way or another.

Unlike regular asteroid belts these anomalies also spawn in j-space systems, providing a source of minerals for capsuleers who chose to live in this harsh environment. They may contain ores which are not available in high and low security systems.

There are 2 ways to find Ore Sites. Resource Harvesting / Ore Anomalies tab in Agency window can be used to find nearby Ore Sites within k-space. Another way is to use the Probe Scanner window. These anomalies automatically appear there when a pilot enters a system, so there is no need to use scanning equipment to scan them down. However certain precautions should be taken in j-space as wormholes can be rolled unexpectedly.

Ore Anomalies in k-space are called using the following pattern: <Size> <Ore Types> Deposit. For example, Average Hedbergite, Hemorphite, and Jaspet Deposit. Size determines the amount of asteroids the anomaly contains. Ore Types determines what kind of ore can be mined there.

There is a special kind of Ore Anomalies called Asteroid Belt Remnants which can be found in new player starter systems and career agents systems. These anomalies are focused on new players and contain a lot of small Veldspar asteroids.

Yet another type of Ore Anomalies is called using the following pattern: <Size> Asteroid Cluster. For example, Medium Asteroid Cluster. These anomalies are being generated by Ore Prospecting Arrays which can be deployed in player-owned null sec systems. Such asteroid clusters (with the exception of small ones) can contain varying amounts of all null sec ore types.

Ore Anomalies in j-space are called using the following pattern: <Characteristic> <Perimeter or Frontier or Core> Deposit. For example, Isolated Core Deposit. Perimeter and Frontier sites can be found in any j-space class system, and Core ones spawn in C5, C6 and Shattered systems. Shattered systems can also have anomalies called Shattered Debris Field. All of them contain various amounts of the same set of low sec and null sec ores.
