Hello all. Had a quick question regarding the updated hideaway sites. Just wondering if anybody has received an escalation from one. I generally will run them if I happen to see them and since the update, I have received a couple of commander ships but no escalations. I know they are random so this is not a complaint that I haven’t received one, it’s more about the new mechanics seem like they wouldn’t support escalations and if they no longer do then they are not really worth doing in my opinion. Thank you in advance for any info
Sometimes you can get multiple in a row other times there may be hours between (days if really unlucky).
Yes. That’s how random works. The question was regarding if the update kept the possibility of an escalation intact. Thank you for thr response
There was an update to Exploration Anomaly Hideaway sites?
Guess I should read the Patch Notes more often…
So are all Hideaway sites suppose to give escalations now?
If so then that’s great for Angel Hideaway sites… In all my years of playing I’ve run a lot of those sites, never once spawned an escalation, only Commander NPC’s…
Yes, there was an update to how Escalations work - not exactly sure when that was. It used to be that
| Site Name | Escalation | Possible Loot |
|---|---|---|
| Burrow | DED: 1/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-C Frigate size Deadspace modules. |
| Hideaway | DED: 2/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-B Frigate size Deadspace modules. |
| Refuge | DED: 3/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-A Frigate size Deadspace modules. |
| Den | DED: 4/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-C Cruiser size Deadspace modules. |
| Yard | DED: 5/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-B Cruiser size Deadspace modules. |
| Rally Point | DED: 6/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-A Cruiser size Deadspace modules. |
| Port | DED: 7/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-C Battleship size Deadspace modules. |
| Hub | DED: 8/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-B Battleship size Deadspace modules. |
| Haven | (Unrated) Fleet Staging Point | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-A Battleship size Deadspace modules. |
| Sanctum | DED: 10/10 | Faction, Overseer Personal Effects, Type-X Battleship size Deadspace modules. |
However this is no-longer the case, in my recent experience both Hideaways and Refuges give DED: 3/10 escalations for the most part. Angel Refuge and Den give DED: 5/10 escalations.
So I just got an escalation from the “new” hideaways. It is a Serpentis Narcotics Warehouse, so a level 3 DED. In the past you would get a couple of extra waves before the pop-up appeared. Now it appears right after the 4th wave is killed off. Thank you for the comments
