==Strategies== Combat sites come in all sorts and varieties, so it is impossible to come up with a single strategy that'll suit every single one of them. However, there are several principles which may be used in most cases. Most of combat sites are pretty predictable. Usually the location of a site dictates what enemy ships it'll feature. Sites found in Gurista inhabited space will spawn Gurista pirates and so on. Different factions have certain prefferences when it comes to fitting their ships, which makes it possible to predict what kind of damage they're going to deal, what type of E-WAR they're going to use and what type of damage they can resist. It makes is possible to fit your ship accordingly, so that it can withstand damage dealt by enemies while hitting them hard at the same time. Such specialization may significantly speed up destruction of enemy ships, but it also makes you more vulnerable to gankers. Depending on the site, your goals, skills and fit there may be different strategies to run it. It is may be worth to learn specifics of the site ahead of time. Sometimes it may be possible to blitz it by cherry-picking particular ships in order to get an escalation quicker, or to get to the next room quicker, or to prevent the site from being stolen by other capsuleers, etc. Sometimes it may be important to pay attention to what targets to destroy first as some ships may spawn reinforement waves or deal much more damage then others do. TBD: recommended fits or fleets The following resources may come in handy: * [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/NPC_damage_types NPC damage types] * [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ EVE University wiki] contain a lot of information about combat sites. Sections describing various combat site types contain a bunch of links leading there. While a lot of sites are described pretty good, some are not. So it may be needed to search for other resources. * YouTube videos may be a valuable source of information on how to run a particular site * Websites like [https://everef.net EVE Ref] may be used to see information about capabilities of enemy ships * Websites like [https://www.eveworkbench.com/fitting/search EVE Workbench] and [https://zkillboard.com/ zKillboard] may be used to fit a ship * Websites like [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ DOTLAN EveMaps] may be used to plan your route
