Clouds

In addition to making these booster sites, the content team has also added to the number and distribution of cloud sites where you harvest the raw materials for boosters. There are two types of gas clouds; Mykoserocin and Cytoserocin. The raw materials from these clouds are used to make Synth boosters and the normal boosters (Standard, Improved and Strong) respectively.

Currently, Cytoserocin clouds have only been found out in nullsec, where large clusters of them form. The renewed focus of the pirate factions in lowsec has also resulted in the discovery of smaller pockets of these same clouds. This allows small-scale production of normal boosters to be run purely from material drawn from low-security space. Not enough to build a drug empire maybe, but it sure could get a party started. The aim here is to allow people to see the entirety of the drug production process without their needing to venture into 0.0 space. Of course, any serious booster producer will have to make that step sooner or later. The good stuff is where the sharks swim.

In Summary

Some numbers and additional information to sum all of this up:

• 16 new booster sites: Two for each type of booster; a lowsec and a nullsec variant. Lieutenants can be found at lowsec sites, captains can be found out in 0.0 space.
• 24 unique booster pushers and items: Challenging new NPCs that have a chance of dropping unique "storyline" items, booster blueprint copies, booster reactions and slightly above-average loot. We also "boosted" [Ha! - ed. CCP Jasonitas] these guys appropriately, if you get what I mean. Expect a mean shield tank from the captains and lieutenants of the H-PA Crew.


• 8 new low security cloud sites: These sites will offer a source of Cytoserocin outside of 0.0 space.
