-=====General Notes=====
-This page is dedicated to finding out all about the new Homefront Operations sites and documenting strategies and fits for use by others. Please feel free to contribute however you like (if you prefer not to deal with formatting, simply scroll all the way to the bottom of the page).
-All the ships in these sites are considered **new entities** and to see them normally you must update your overview settings to include:
-**Overview Settings >> Filters >> Entity**
-  * Homefront Operations Allied Dreadnought
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Battlecruiser
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Battleship
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Cruiser
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Destroyer
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Frigate
-  * Homefront Operations Enemy Hauler
-  * Homefront Operations Structure
-These sites spawn only in **High Security Space** and are purported to be concentrated around trade hubs and beginner systems. They are technically related to Faction Warfare though do not appear to damage standings with any factions. It is possible to fail these sites.

-The strategy used for this attempt was to use a one-down cap chain, everyone kept one cap transmitter on the dread at all times, and one was used situationally: there was heavy neut pressure and so whoever was catching that aggro would get capped up from this free transmitter from everyone else, and in turn they would put their free one on the dread until aggro switched, and then things were adjusted accordingly. Completion time was about 10 min or slightly less. Damage was not so horrible so it may be possible to speed this up by dropping another shield booster and adding another cap transmitter to keep on the dread (testing required).

-Tower has 0% resists on all defensive layers. ??? total HP.
-Fail after 40(?) minutes
-==Site Attempt Data==
-/13/23 - [BLOCK THE BROADCAST] The jammers are timed to come back online very quickly so getting all three down with a single hacking frigate is nigh impossible, possible but perhaps difficult with 2 hacking frigates. We had good results with 3 cruisers fitted with data analyzers and fit to have decent range for DPS. In the case of this first attempt it was rail Moas modified from deprecated doctrine fits. We also had 2 ospreys (standard or slightly modified [[member:alliance:military:doctrines:ships:osprey#ab_fits | B.U.L.SHIP fits]]) for logi, and they were able to orbit the central tower and still provide effective reps while the Moas sat at 0 on the jammers. The Moas could then perform a synchronized hack (very easy green hacking level) giving a window of about 45-60 seconds in which to apply damage to the tower. Total time to complete was appx 10 minutes. Fits could certainly be brought down to more meta modules and T1 rigs to reduce cost and skill requirements. Other contenders may be rail thorax, beam omen, or other cruisers with decent range (40-50km) and moderate tank.

-==Site Attempt Data==
-/13/23 - [CONVOY] One attempt at this site failed spectacularly. We believe we may have warped in on a site that had been abandoned by some other group who had started it, as the Charon was already //very// damaged. There was also a lot of confusion and chaos as the Guristas employ a blackbird here with very effective jams. Our Ospreys quickly fell prey to the jams and were unable to effectively rep the Charon, failing after only a few minutes. Further testing with this site needed.
