Structures seems to be randomly distributed among systems around the map. As I say, I have not noticed any trends in star flares.
Structures will remain in a system if there was a Wormhole there prior to downtime. It will despawn in the next downtime.
However, the Wormholes appear to have a very high chance of spawning in Amarrian space. Khanid, in particular.
It's where I've found about 60% of the Wormholes I've been testing.
I assume this has relevance to lore. |

These vertical "flares" are there due to diffraction where the aperture blades of the camera meet (or other mechanical characteristics of the camera). All the lens-flares, Point Spread Functions, diffractions and so on are side-effects of the imaging system in use... the camera drones in our case. It's not an attribute of the light source, it's an attribute of the camera.
Imho this whole vertical-flare thing doesn't make any sense, unless your camera drone itself rotates 90-¦ in "vertical-flare" systems and you rotate the image back prior to displaying it. But it looks pretty and makes systems more distinguishable... so why the heck not.
I really hope that this does not go any further than just eye-candy though... or CCP would have to add another "scientific article" explaining it ;) |

I've heard the theory been brought up before, but haven't heard of the results of testing it.
Any updates? I've been thinking about this as well. I remember hearing people talk about how previous lore super weapons used a ships resistances against the ship. So by removing resists with a polarized weapon would it stop the super weapon? Yeah, I am also curious how do these weapons affect the drifters and their mini doomsday machine... Like, it's literally right here.
Damn, missed it, thx for the heads up :)

I think Metro had a relatively high number of structures in it. I may go poke around there tonight.

They cannot. I've already approached to within 5k m of the wormhole while cloaked and not been seen.
Thus far, I have only seen Drifters in systems with the Unknown Wormhole celestial beacon.

Next time when you guys find Unidentified Wormhole can you make a close up screenshot.
Only one I have seen so far live on server is from someone testing Zephyr on Drifter Battleship near the Unidentified Wormhole.
The other end of it looks like Thera background
Last time I checked myself on SISI one of them had probably the same light background.
Are they coming from massive systems like Thera itself, how many of them are out there if that is the case?
No way they are coming from Thera, there should be some evidence from residents so far with reports of Drifters in it. |

Now, THATs incredible. Those are indeed the exact same nebulae, you can tell even though the WH distorts the image the features of the nebulae (light and dark patches) are identical.
The question is whether that is intentional by CCP or just a coincidence. |

All that is very interesting. Just would like to share few elements..
My goal was only to go see this new station/tower structure that was cloaked. And i found also an unidentified wh and Drifters and circadian seekers. While looking at the BS near the tower, he warped of in the wh direction just a second before the circadian seekers arrived. I warped to the wh and witnessed the Drifters BS slowly going toward the wh and literaly vanished once near it. I was myself cloaked at around 7500m of the BS. Did the BS knew they were coming ?
Circadian seekers and the Drifters ship scanned (or interacted with their white beam or kind of beam) the beacon (station and/or wh beacons to which you're warping at). I've already been scanned myself by one of this beam by circadian seekers, i killed them that time and they never shooted back (but i heard it has changed now) and that time it was harmless. That was just few things concerning their attitude in system.
Concerning towers it could be interesting to know if they are in systems with same sun type or anything common between systems. Some of you were talking about Thera (i took a pic of the wh but not as it was asked to so it probably wouldn't help much to show it) and before the patch i was wondering if Thera whs were not recurrently appearing in same systems and especialy close to those cloaked towers.
Since Thera appeared i have found 2 or 3 times a wh driving to Thera in the same system (no tower in this one) plus once in a system next to it and, coincidence (?), the "unidentified wh" appeared in the last one.
So, i'm not giving much informations, sorry, and i'm new in the Lore background (i have so much to see) but i just wanted to share those few things i noticed and my questioning about those wh. If anyone of you have some answers, i would be glad to have them. |

Nice writeup Uriel. As you know and we've discussed, I agree with a number of your conjectures here - when I quipped that it "was the return of Miko Bour" I wasn't expecting that we'd get evidence of it just a few days later.
Whether this is really the Second Empire revisited remains to be seen, but there is very likely a connection - either in tech, ship usage, or in tribute to his legacy.

I can personally attest that on sisi as of a couple days ago bringing a dead will not cause anythign odd to happen. However, once I knocked out the initial 2 drifters, 3 more warped in and engaged me. By that point I was out of cap due to repping the dd damage and had to warp out. They did not try to stop me, nor did I see them follow. However, I did not stick around on the gate.

I wonder why are drifter battleships so resemble in appearance to mordu's legion ships? Especially to Orthrus. The same antennas and the same forms of hull. Is it some hint from CCP or just lack of concept artist's imagination? |

Well, Mordu's Legion is at home in Pure Blind, together with the Sisters of Eve, to which the violent wormholes in Thera seem to lead, according to background analysis. So there may be a real connection.

I was on sisi the other day before the patch and people were talking about the Drifters not DD'ing ships that were sieged/bastion. Has this been confirmed on TQ? Or did CCP fix their behavior to correctly deal with ewar immune ships?
Could you possibly tracking disrupt them and speed tank with something fast/close? |

Yes you can tracking disrupt them. Yes it does have a noticeable effect in some circumstances.
Yes you can speed tank both of them -I killed a few in a Burst.

What if they're searching for their lost super weapon?
So the first time wormholes appeared was in that one incident where that star blew up and pretty much toasted the whole system. If we assume, though possibly wrongfully, that such an event was caused by a super weapon working on a similar basis of that incident, what if the ship carrying the super weapon was accidentally sucked into one of the wormholes are lost.
Then here comes the Jove. They're having the worst panic attack ever because the super weapon just happened to land in capsular space. What do they do? They start pulling out all of the stops. They make drones to mindlessly scan everything in site trying to find it. They build huge listening towers to scan entire systems. They have the drifters patrol the unidentified wormholes artificially created by the exploding star! |

I think it's safe to assume that any advanced weaponry the Jove have today should be far more powerful than any Terran weapon known or discovered. And the reason for this is simple : the Jove, unlike the Empires, have never undergone the space-dark-ages and never had to re-invent space-flight for example. While the Empires had to work their way back into being space-faring civilizations, the Jove we're having their First Empire and such and were busy deciding how many more arms they should grow. This being said, they had continued access to Terran tech and it stands to reason that not only they can use it without any problems, but most surely they have also improved on it by now. Although they have suffered the fall of the First and Second Empire they would not have lost much in the ways of technology - these different collapses were more organizational than technological (even in Terran history most Empires grew and developed on the technologies of the previous ones, bringing their own improvements, technological evolution so to say).
It is my sincere belief that there is no "magic Terran gun" that the Jove fear (excluding the fact that fear is probably an emotion they have long since curbed) - but if the Jove would indeed search for the "magic Terran gun" they would do so in order to prevent the "wayward children" from blasting themselves to kingdom-come and eventually getting into their heads the idea that now they have "the big shtick" and they can take on even the Jove (we know very well how that ended for the last Empire that picked a fight with them).

No I mean what if, in the explosion, whatever caused the star to explode was sucked into one of the wormholes generated by the explosion, sending it into Capsuleer space and giving the Jove a heart attack because they lost their most powerful weapon |

Something to ponder over & get your brain in gear: How do the drifters fit in all of this?
-First: Drifters look like the Jove, (albeit cybernetically enhanced), so they got a clear & visible link to the Jove, despite how different they are tech-wise
-Second: Blowing up a drifter yields salvage (and loot too now it seems) that you also find in Sleeper wrecks, so they got a connection with them to.
-Third: the Drifter symbol, the triple integral is not just a symbol, it's the symbol to write a triple integral, used in hyper-euclidian mathematics, something the Talocan race mastered, so they've got a link with them too.
-Fourth: Hierachy structure shares similarities with Nation. Drifters show up in 2 forms (Artemis Tyrannos & Appollo Tyrannos) lead by a third higher ranking Drifter: Strategos Tyrannos. Nation shows a similar structure, with True Slaves & Citizens executing the tasks of their leader, Sansha Kuvakei. they both love enhancing their loyal subjects cybernetically. However, as we know little of Sleepers & Talocans, this connection is much less direct then the previous 3.
So now we have to find out how the Drifters fit in all of this! Also, re-investigating some sleeper/talocan sites would be a good way to find clues that didn't make much sense prior to the drifters appearing.

This, number 3, could indeed mean something. Google integral and something like this comes up: "(the same volume can be obtained via the triple integralGÇöthe integral of a function in three variablesGÇöof the constant function f(x, y, z) = 1 over the above-mentioned region between the surface and the plane.) If there are more variables, a multiple integral will yield hypervolumes of multi-dimensional functions.'
Take note of the part, "constant function f(x, y, z) = 1". Those are like also coordinates. Coordinates for what. We have 3 different Drifter Tyrannos classes as well and a number of other in game clues to that utilize coordinates. New Sleeper sites use a coordinate system to get to the back security area, etc.
Finally, the Drifter logo isn't just the integral sign, it has a filled in oval behind it. Symbolic of perhaps Caroline's Star's nebula? A planet or star? What is the significance of that globe in relation to the integral symbol. Note the integral symbol is also placed over the globe, which may mean something too, though I may be reading into this way to far. Its also as we know very different from the other Jovian logos we've seen which are blocky.
Does this stir anything up guys? Do any of the Eve Fiction experts notice anything with that? |
