Special Anomaly Rules –

 

 

1) Systems

a. No one individual or group can lay claim to a system and tell others to leave. Amount of time spent ratting in the system does not matter.

b. People are encouraged to spread out and make full use of all systems in the territory. However, there are a lot of us sharing this space and if someone else turns up in your system and wants to rat too, they absolutely have the right to do so. 

c. When this happens, you are encouraged to fleet up and work together. If you (or they) decide not to fleet up and work cooperatively, that's fine.

2) Normal Anomalies

a. Normal Anomalies and their loot are the property of the individual or fleet that first enters the anomaly.

b. If you warp into a normal anomaly and it's already being cleared by someone else, ask to fleet up (preferred) or go find an unclaimed one to clear.

3) Special Anomalies (the rare ones)

a. Clearing normal anomalies in hopes of spawning a special anomaly is akin to rolling dice. If you roll the dice 50 times and don't get one and then someone else picks up the dice and gets it on their first roll, it may seem unfair but it's not. That's the nature of RNG. But fear not, for their luck is your luck!

b. Special Anomalies shall be defined as Scouts, Inquisitors, and Deadspace sites, and any event anomaly

c. Those who are ratting in the system and have fully completed at least one anomaly at the time a special anomaly spawns, shall have the right to take part in the special anomaly and earn a share of the loot. Amount of time spent ratting in the system does not matter.

4) To be eligible to participate: You must complete at least 1 anomaly before you can lay claim to any special in system. If a special spawns when you have not completed at least 1 anomaly, other members ratting in system who have completed at least 1 anomaly have priority rights to specials in that system and do not need to include you or share loot.

5) You may only claim or participate in a special anomaly when hopping from system to system, or claim a special without having completed an anomaly if there is no one else ratting in that system. Ratters in system who have completed at least one anomaly at time of special spawn have priority even if you claim it first in local chat.

6) If you and other players have both not completed a full, normal anomaly in system and for whatever reason you arrive in system at the same time, priority is given to the one who claims it first in local chat

7) If you leave a system, upon your return you must complete another normal anomaly to be eligible for a special spawn claim in that system. 

8) You may not be eligible for special spawn claim in more than one system at a time.

9) You may not complete one anomaly and then sit in system waiting for others to spawn a special. You must continue to clear anomalies and contribute towards making a special spawn. Don't be a parasite.

10) Everyone is expected to be flying a ship that can meaningfully contribute to the group. This generally means Tech 6 or higher. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances or new players

11) When a special anomaly spawns, to claim it you must:

a. Have completed at least 1 normal anomaly in that system and been continuing to attempt to clear normal anomalies.

b. Have claimed the special anomaly in local chat by stating the name of the special and "Claimed" (this is not a hard and fast rule, anything posted to claim ownership is acceptable). For example, saying "inquis claimed" is sufficient to claim an Inquisitor Special Anomaly spawn in system.

12) Best practice would be to take screenshot of everyone in local at time of the spawn as well, in the unfortunate event a dispute is to occur

13) All ratters in the system who wish to participate in the special anomaly shall converge on the entrance gate.

14) Message any additional ratters in the system to see if they are coming. Any ratter in the system who is not responsive to messages, and not on gate within 5 minutes will be considered uninterested.

15) Fleet up / combine fleets as needed.

16) Invite others who are eligible as per the rules above.

17) Agree to loot rules and designate a looter if needed.

18) Engage the special anomaly to claim ownership over it for the group and get space rich together.
