Today I ventured into a Class 3 wormhole and experienced my first sleeper encounter. I found several signatures on my scanner and warped directly to the anomaly.
Upon landing in the site the sleepers immediately started their attack and proceeded to fire on my ship. Their damage output was indeed powerful, but my tank held. Due to the speed of some of the sleepers I found that hitting with precision heavy missiles worked better in certain cases and I was able to take out cruisers and smaller ship much faster.
I prefer to keep range so my DPS could probably be greater if I had used heavy assault missiles, however I'm happier with range.
Strange thing though, after I cleared all the sleepers I did notice that my ship was broadcasting a faint pattern or signal... I don't really know how to describe it but it sounded like a train on tracks.... this signal appeared to be originating from my own ship and was looping over and over although I will be damned if I know what the pattern means. After warping out of the site this pattern became weaker and eventually stopped.
Since then I have not detected this pattern again, could have been just background radiation noise except that the pattern was very rhythmic and had a very specific pulse. |

Do you have a recording of these sounds?

If you are interested in speaking to someone about the strategies of fighting sleepers, feel free to send me a mail. I used to live in a wormhole and I believe I recall the sound you have described, although something like a faint scream was more common. Fide et honore.

Are you sure it was your ship? That sounds really odd... I'd love to look into this. See Bio for business details

given that most of the sounds you hear while piloting are artificially-rendered substitutes generated by the capsule for your benefit - the whole "In space, nobody can hear you scream" thing - I'd recommend that your first step should be to run a diagnostic on your capsule's systems. Even if the hardware's fine, there might be bugs in the software.
sure, there are a few sounds that make it into the pod - even through the pod and several decks, I can hear the warp drives howling away when hit full superluminal. Even with the heavy-duty hearing protection they wear, I'm pretty sure my propulsion engineers are putting up with a hell of a lot of decibels back there. But that noise sounds too crisp to be a muffled internal noise penetrating your capsule, so it was probably rendered.

I do not possess the ability to separate the sounds but I think I hear what you're referring to. Very interesting, I never heard anything like it when I populated Anoikis shortly after the Seyllin Incident.

Obviously you can hear my missiles being fired as well as laser blasts from incoming sleeper guns, plus my shields taking heavy damage near the end (my alarm was set to 45%). However, I have no idea what that pulsating mechanical sound is in the background... perhaps an echo from a ghost site? Or sleeper sound? I have no idea, never heard anything like it before and I know my pod really well and it was definitely not generated from anything on board.
Although I have been to wormholes before with friends this was the first time I ventured solo. I'm glad I had a recording, I was just trying to count spawns and keep a record so I can study it on my holoreels later and improve my strategy. This only happened in one sleeper site and have not heard it since... I'm going to run some more diagnostics tonight and see if I can further analyse the recordings.
I was hoping it was not a glitch and maybe someone else had a similar experience? |

That sounds a lot like some kind of eletro-magnetic wave interference. The regular and rythmic sound suggests a short-wave pattern.
If it was coming from your ship, it may have been the reaction of some of your circuits to some kind of sleeper-originated wave. As you moved away from the source of the wave, the interference would also vanish.
However, that is a loose guess, based strictly on my electronic and engineering knowledge of mainstream tech. I have never seen such interference caused by known technology, but we're talking about sleepers. |

Indeed, I will just have to wait and see if anyone else reports anything similar, I would be very curious to learn more. Could be nothing though, just a software glitch. |

Yes, "Oruze Construct". I have been to other Oruze sites since and that pattern has not repeated in my ship systems. |

I have lived a couple of years in various wormhole systems, and that isn't a sound I can say I recognize. Did you amplify this sound or was that the actual volume from the pod's aural generation system? |

Hmm.... this is what was recorded nothing amplified, however I'm starting to think that while I was recording this sound came from another source possibly and not the sleeper site. Could be as simple as a radio or some other device which maybe I did not switch off. Still, kind of a cool sound I thought it was coming from the sleepers. |
