Edited by: Terranid Meester on 19/05/2009 19:41:11 Now wormholes allow people to invade sleeper territory. Personally I think the Sleepers would be affronted by such a thing, and would naturally want to invade back.
I propose that a small amount of sleepers should be capable of using a wormhole in a system where upon they warp to either a belt, station or other such place and begin attacking in their normal fashion and acting accordingly. After all we had this big event of wormholes appearing and planets disappearing and some people are not even aware of it. Perhaps its time to make them aware. Plus if you kill the sleepers you get a small amount of loot.
Im not suggesting massive hordes of sleepers killing everything in sight (although that would be fun too), but just the occasional gang of them in normal space. Sleepers must use probe launchers too, right?

sorry but this will never ever happen. the sleepers are long since extinct, the only remains are their automated guardian drones and some electronical gizmos that are still active.

So said guardian drones went Skymet on our collective asses. I fail to see the problem. |

If anyone bothered to read the Devblog/Back story, you'll find that sleepers are defensive drones only.
Thus this is yet again, another moot point.

the backstory can be (over)writen anytime, and they would be useful for killing up macrominers with some proper coding... :D
and yes, they would make a nice twist to hisec life. :)

If they were to invade I would rather see a massive army of NPCs clean out low sec space and give it a "soft/hard" reset.

lol @ -^
And I like the idea, a lot.
Maybe not make them travel to the WH(this would be very anti-need-for-speed), but maybe have sleepers that spawn near some WH's, on 'our' side of space... Chances and spawn sizes possibly determined by category of the WH? |

I don't see how this will benefit anything.
If you're pve'ing, the last thing you want is an unexpected something that WILL kill you dropping on you randomly with no warning.
If people want to kill sleepers they do it through wormholes. They won't switch to waiting on scarce random spawns which have more competition and are less profitable.

Not all sleepers will drop on you and kill you :|
And I do agree that they shouldn't move from the WH itself, like, maybe they could spawn in the belts of the system randomly (super rare) and belt spawns be scaled based on security status, but I really just feel that they should spawn at the WH itself, scaled to the Category of the W that it leads to. |

The whole storyline part of the sleepers is that their civilization is long dead, and most of the actual sleepers are just broken malfunctioning hulls, only a few are still active and able to attack. Because they are basically sentry drones on steroids, sleepers will never become proactive in such a way. It's fun to think about, but will never happen.

These sleepers should clear out the wormhole systems first ,starting with shotting down the stupid poses there. Although the idea is good ,but i think storywise the sleepers are the least good candidates for such an attack , pirate factions/drones attacks/campaigns would be a much better choice.

Maybe the sleepers themselves 'wake up' or 'come out of hiding' or whatever :3 You forget that with a fiction universe, with the right storytelling you can make anything work. |

Like other players, who can do that anyway?

Lets turn wormholes, into yet another npcing activity like missions! The spawns will not be there for the benefit of gaining goods. That is a bonus. It is more for creating a more lively universe where people see real consequence of living in a harsh place. Sleeper drones then (best form of defence is attack) .

Funny, i was just thinking about this the other day. Fully support this, would spice things up for sure. Imagine the tears from someone being afk losing a costly ship to sleepers. |

I dont like the idea.
It seem to undermine the efforts made in wormhole space and smells like greed, as if battling sleepers in highsec would lead to sleeper rig components. |
