I am looking for information in hidden belts in 00 connected to the Dominion sov and upgrade system. I will share what I know as a miner has been to index level two, but would love others to add information about levels 3-5.
1. The Industry index will fall by approximately 1% per hour whilst nobody is mining.
2. At level 1 a solo miner in a hulk can reverse this so the index rises by 1% per hour. At level 0 this goes up faster, at level 2 it rises slower.
3. Ore prospecting arrays come into play at downtime. If they are online at downtime, you get one hidden belt per upgrade. These hidden belts improve in quality, so the level 2 belt has more rare ore than the level 1 belt. At level 2 you get 1 lvl 1 belt and 1 lvl 2 belt.
4.Belts remain for three days and then the exact same re-spawn somewhere else filled back up with minerals.
5. If your industry level drops down to the next level, the belt for that level disappears either instantly or as soon as everybody warps out. It does not wait for downtime.
6. The level 1 belt is a ôsmall asteroid clusterö it has every ore in the game except Mercoxit, including sizeable quantities of arkoror, bistot and crokite plus a VERY large Spodumain roid (if you mined it all it would fill 4-5 freighters and it looks the size of a station).
7. The level 2 belt is a ômoderate asteroid clusterö. This includes the same mix of ores but has more of the high end ores like ABC. It has one mercoxit roid with 100,000 units in it.
That's all I've got so far. Can anybody can provide information about levels 3-5?

Rat spawn exactly like any normal belt in system from what I can tell. I've had every type of spawn including true sansha! Also I've had rats warp from an ordinary belt to hidden belt and vice versa, as they do in normal belts.
In regards to belts respawning if fully mined. I have never even got close to testing this. If you do manage to empty your belts within the three days, you will have unlocked the next level or two so would be better off mining in your new belts instead of mining ridiculous amounts of spodumain to kill that huge roid off! - Still thanks for info.

Also where is this 100k merx rock? I've only see 10ks in meds, 10k in large, 15k in xlarge.
Sorry, my mistake, its 10k not 100k. I'll edit original post. Can you give us any more details of the large and x-large sites? I assume these are lvl 3 and 4?

Thanks for the info.
Some more information I picked up in another thread was that according to a dev blog, the index goes up with hacking of radar sites. We have found this to be the case in our system and it seems to be that you cannot reach level 3 without some hacking and even maintaining level 2 is hard. With radar sites being regularly hacked and scanned, however, two or three hulks can push the index up reasonably quickly towards level three - we hope to get there soon!

I heard a rumor that the level 5 belt has ONLY ABC and Mercoxit. Is this true?
