Grind Targets/VEGA Security

## General

This page provides a list of VEGA Security NPC Targets that appear each day.

## VEGA Security Grind Targets

### VSec Active

These targets drop crafting materials for non-dreadnought ships and can be found in the Residential Sectors. VSec Active Fleets patrol the sector during the "VSec Active" sector activity, which occurs once every 3 hours with a 1-hour duration. Level 27 fleets spawn in Planets while level 30+ fleets spawn from Wormholes. Unlike regular fleets, all VSec Active fleets in sector space may attack fleets +5 or -5 of themselves that get too close.

VSec Overwatch fleets are currently run by Vorzer of the VEGA Federation. They have a chance of dropping blueprint pieces, unlocking powerful technologies that assist your progress towards the next tier.

Resource payout is split into the ratio 35% H3/35% Ore/30% AM.

Note: All ships have no minimum range.

### Resource Supply Run

Resource Supply Run Fleets are special fleets that carry large amounts of a particular resource with small amounts of the other two from place to place during supply runs, which run for 1 hour every 3 hours.

There are 3 types of resource supply runs - one for each resource. The ratio of resources dropped depends on the type of resource supply run that is occurring. For example, a Helium-3 Supply Run would drop more Helium-3 but less Mineral Ore and Antimatter, and so on so forth.

Supply Run fleets spawn from resource fields and travel to Processing Complexes in the same planet.

When defeated, resources are dropped in a 70/15/15 ratio, the former being the main resource drop.

There was a bug that caused the names below the icons of the Resource Supply Run fleets to be displayed incorrectly when they spawned in the Residential Sector.

Note: All ships have no minimum range. Corvettes, frigates and cruisers have primitive AI - that is, they head straight towards their target and do not start to strafe even when the target is well in range.

### Crafting

These targets drop crafting materials for non-dreadnought ships. They spawn from resource fields and travel to Processing Complexes in the same planet.

The crafting boxes do not have weighted drops, so it is equally likely to obtain a Mk II pattern as a Mk V pattern.

These fleets no longer spawn as of current.

Note: All ships have no minimum range with the exception of NET Torpedoes.

### Crafting Supply Run

These targets drop crafting materials for non-dreadnought ships at much higher rates than crafting fleets during the Supply Run sector activity, which runs for 1 hour every 3 hours. Supply Run fleets have a different icon to distinguish them from crafting fleets.

Supply Run fleets spawn from resource fields and travel to Processing Complexes in the same planet.

When defeated, a crafting box is dropped. This box contains a predefined amount of armaments and parts for a specified hull. The remaining drop is either a core or a pattern. Do note that unlike those of regular crafting fleets, this drop is heavily weighted towards less valuable items. Carrier boxes of Tier 4 or below instead drop one of the aforementioned items at random.

Note: All ships have no minimum range with the exception of NET Torpedoes.

## Trivia

* VSec Overwatch Fleets were introduced into the game on December 1, 2014.
* Originally, VSec Overwatch fleets were launched in irregular intervals from time to time for a brief moment about once a week, lasting around 2 days on average, although they lasted 4 days during the original Riots. They were set to occur twice a month by themselves in shorter bursts in two weekends, and a third time with slightly higher spawn rates during Riots.
* Originally, the crafting and crafting supply run fleets were named as follows, but as of the early March 2018 update, the names have been standardized to the respective hull classes:
	+ Scouts - Frigates
	+ Raiders - Cruisers
	+ Artillery - Destroyers
	+ Battalion - Battleships
	+ Hunters - Cutters
	+ Commander - Carriers
* When resource supply runs first came out, they only had normal resource drops, defeating their purpose. KIXEYE removed them to fix the issue and later turned them back on when done.
* VEGA Security crafting and supply run targets originally spawned in sector space. The crafting targets have been removed while the supply run targets have been relocated to in-planet shortly after the late August 2019 update.
