told from main perspective, alt doing the posting...
don't know if anyone else has noticed similar situations, but in a W-space area i ran my scanners and found another signature, warped to it and found an area(one of about 6 i found that excursion) that popped up like a DED report when i tried to warp there, telling me it was basically a mining area and that i'd woken up the sleepersor some-such-similar.
rats in the area included 3 frigates (emergent sleeper) and a cruiser, (awakened sleeper). frigates seemed to tank like beasts, and i finally realized they have no shields, and i was dealing some 8-10 damage per shot per gun. you'd think they'd be weaker, but they arn't. was using heavy modal laser 1s with multifrequency crystals, and had 3 of them. I also had my drones(tech 1 hammerheads and vespas(5 at a time)). drones did fine when i was soloing, and by focusing on the frigates i was able to reduce their dps to a much more manageable amount and survive. my ship(poorly fit T3 of the gallente flavor) had a self recharge on the shield of proably 8, and i had two large shield booster tech 2's on the ship and either 2 or 3 tech 2 large shield extenders, my em shield hardener, and an invulnerability field to reduce their damage... everything else was either my scan probe, my 3 lasers, or there to provide the cap/cpu/powergrid to the boosters..
solo, vs 3 frigates and 1 cruiser, i did fine. (resists of 50% em, 60% therm, 85% kinetic, and 50% explosive) -- i never took armor damage, never lost a drone -- my shield rep was 240/4 seconds x2 (max regen of 120/second, cap dependent for duration)
finish area, move to a new one... same npc setup, slightly less valuable ores
enter random person, (fleeted, brought him in cus he wanted to try WH and no apparent devs) my drones began to die,early and fast. went through 10 of 15 meds on my boat in no time, proceded to hoard my drones; eventually managed to defeat hostiles, after random person who'd joined me got DC'd due to hadware issues on his end.
this system was connected to highsec, system kept private to protect the following individuals...
this system had a POS, unknown if it was online, didn't have the right probes to scan it down.
the wormhole should remain active for at least a day(through monday evening central time us(GMT -6))
WH in urlen.
on another side note. found a WH in perimeter that led into K-6SNI(say hi [[name removed for privacy]], looking forward to the T3 cruiser guide( " [ 2009.03.02 08:37:15 ] [[name removed for privacy]] > spent all night screening variations of each cruiser, and wrote a guide on them, sad eh " ). (0.0 kspace, so it does happen and you don't nessisarily have to go from kspace to wspace to get back to k space)
i for one think the sleepers are cool, they look kinda cool, sorta like old drones with the mech arms and such, but on steroids.they seem to have really high resists, so make sure you're dealing a lot of damage.
to everyone confused by my rambling, i'm writing this after rougly 40 hours of wakefullness in the last 48 hours.. and not because i was only playing eve, just can't sleep
WH space, in the smaller complexes, appear to me, easyer solo than with someone else confusing the sleepers, or waking them up more, or just becoming one more drone i have to watch out for, who knows...
wish i could sleep, have work in 3 hrs...
i'll probably edit this with a list of my setup later
guess what time it is... DT on the sisi server, moving to TQ soon, i think
yup, now i'm just rambling, im' going to go eat, maybe... hmmm
/me wanders into the other room...
