Sovereignty System Upgrades (Legacy mode)

An alliance can improve various aspects of any nullsec system they’re actively claiming by installing upgrades in their Sovereignty Hub. There are several different types of infrastructure upgrades available. For some upgrades to become active they will require the systems development index to be at a respective level.

When a Sov Hub has been migrated to Sov Hub mode from Legacy mode, the following upgrades will be available outlined in this article: Sovereignty Hub.

Strategic Upgrades

Strategic System Upgrades enable a variety of logistical options for the system, at the cost of increased upkeep fees while the upgrade is active. The required additional fee per day is listed within the upgrade's information, and the difference for the remaining days of the upkeep cycle will have to be paid upon activation of the upgrade. From then on, the additional cost will be included in the weekly upkeep payments for the system. Deactivating a strategic upgrade will not refund any fees but will remove the upgrades upkeep cost from future upkeep bills for as long as the upgrade remains inactive.

Strategic upgrades rely on the Strategic Index, which is dependent on how long the alliances claim on the system has been unbroken.

Industrial Upgrades

These upgrades provide industrial oriented anomalies, such as guaranteed Ore sites or an increased chance for Data Sites. They rely on the Industrial Development Index, which can be increased by mining ores in the system. The Industrial Development Index will degrade if no mining takes place. Alliance members are advised that it will continue to degrade over downtime and thus they should ensure they have mined enough to cover any degradation when aiming to reach the next index level.

Military Upgrades

These upgrades confer bonuses to the presence of combat-oriented sites as well as the chance of wormholes appearing within the system. They rely on the Military Development Index, which can be increased by destroying NPC ships within the system. The Military Development Index will degrade if no NPCs are being destroyed. Alliance members are advised that it will continue to degrade over downtime and thus they should ensure they have destroyed enough pirate NPCs to cover any degradation when aiming to reach the next index level.

System Upgrade Bands

The lower the security rating of the system, the higher the total worth of all anomalies granted by system upgrades will be.

The System Rating will be shown as a value rounded to a single decimal in game. A -0.24 rating will be shown as -0.2, whereas a -0.25 rating would be shown as -0.3 within the game.

These security bands most notably affect the guaranteed cosmic anomalies provided by the Pirate Detection Arrays, which differ notably between the various security bands:

Please note that the anomaly names in Rogue Drone Regions will differ drastically from this list.
