Information on sites in Deklein

====Friable Volatile Ice Field (Mining)====

You also have a chance at obtaining an Unusual Icebound Salvage crate while mining, which has better loot and appears directly into your cargo, no need to turn anything in for these.

====Wingstorm Transit Site (Combat)====
[[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Wightstorm_Transit_Site|EVE University, Wingstorm Transit Site]]


===Running the site=== 

The Wingstorm Transit Site can be found in the Probe Scanner window, without the need to scan them down. They have an acceleration gate, with no ship restrictions. If a capsuleer is present at the Transit Site it will appear in the Overview of every capsuleer in the same System. 

Enemy ships can warp to tactical bookmarks and often target drones. They deal EM & Thermal damage with lasers, and Kinetic & Explosive damage with missiles, similar to their Incursion counterparts. A very well-tanked battleship is a must-have for the boss, which can and will shred you if you do not pilot well. 
===Ship Fits===
Standard PvE Marauder can run the sites fairly easily.
