What if these Sleepers really don't fight back, but are in fact gathering data or some other resource? In the past, sleepers haven't come after us unless we show up at the enclaves and endanger the Architects- what if the passivity is intentional, and destroying them will carry some future consequence?

Of course, I could be totally wrong/ but that would be interesting

HOLY COW....HOLY COW indeed

Time to bust out ye ol' Stratios and go exploring me thinks.

Ive honestly been so excited searching for all this new stuff I nearly missed work.


Lots of weird new sounds on sisi when near seekers and their structures.

New Unidentified wormholes in K space, (new to me anyway) with Sleeper thermoelectric converters around the wormhole. After sitting at wormhole for a few mins the seekers warped in to me and began approaching me.

Trying to use all types of e war etc on the site to attempt effecting it.

Found a mysterious probe.

Rajeet Achmar > "Despite its familiar construction, this ancient probe is made from materials and electronics unlike anything you've ever seen in New Eden. It floats silently through space, seemingly dormant."

Rajeet Achmar > The probe establishes a remote communications channel with your ship, then transmits a single GÇÿbeep' noise.

I smartbombed it and the remote comm message came up.

bassie12bf1 > Drifter Battleship (found in mesybier)

"The design of this Sleeper drone echoes what is believed to be the very earliest Sleeper Starships, suggesting it was perhaps constructed during that period too. Contrasting with its possible age is the unspoiled condition of its armor, suggesting that if it is indeed as ancient as its designers, it has only very recently been put into service. "

Pilot of battleship was apparently: Heretic Soldier, who's description was: "The different branches of Jovians that exist are not the result of variations in geographical or climatic differences, but rather that of genetic engineering through the centuries. The Modifiers are the enthusiasts of the Jovian family. They are curious and constantly willing to try or experience something new and fresh. Modifiers have lower life expectancy that other Jovians and are more susceptible to the dreaded Jovian Disease. It seems that by constantly living on the edge makes them burn out faster."

Drifter battleship was hitting: "bassie12bf1 > 22:22:50 Combat 71 from Drifter Battleship - Praedormitan Missile - Hits"

New Jovian Station found in SISI files

I'm pining for more info- though the cloaked structure was originally told to be "Cloaked Jove Outpost" before being quickly corrected

Battleship with a DDD? Sounds fitting to the tech level.

The Enheduanni are mainly explained in Theodicy- they were the Jovans who oversaw the motherships' movement to heaven, where the first two Jovian Empires resided.

Eventually, they started influencing far too much behind the scenes, alongside the sleepers once they cropped up as a major group within the empire (this part is from Templar One)- with the appearance of the Other (the only bodiless AI, born within the Sleeper construct), the Enheduanni, Sleepers and Jovians all share the same enemy.

Oh wow, I had never considered that.

The Other is currently 4 people, so in order to combat him, Four forces come together as one entity...

Dare I suggest it...

Enheduanni, Jovians, Sleepers, Empyreans( Pod Pilots)?

CAPTAIN PLANET!!!!!!!

Sorry I shouldn't drunkpost!

Thera is somewhere I'd like to visit but i'm currently still a bit unfamiliar with WH space, being new to it. I might have to wait until I'm a bit more experienced, since last I heard it was a volatile place :P

The remains of the Martyrhan, a carrier from the Lakat-Hro Caravan, were recently found in Thera.

Where we're going, we don't need eyes to see.

Well, it would certainly appear that resistance is indeed futile.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but here it is:

I AM scared! :-)

Keep jumping around, you will find one eventually.


Also, forgot to add this zoom in on unidentified wormhole. WH


Other end, does it look familiar with any area of known space? At all.

It looks like an entrance into Thera or one of the frigate only shattered systems, which share the same nebula.

edit: Thera hole for comparison

I noticed earlier they looked to go to thera, but I was unable to find any evidence in thera that shows so. Unfinished or maybe there are more systems in the thera vicinity that the wormholes go to?

That would be a reasonable assumption, except that all the violent wormholes in epicenters show the nebula of the Pure Blind region. It seems likely that that's a placeholder but it's still rather odd. In addition to that, there are epicenters in the other shattered wormholes as well, that do have normal nebulae according to their class. So these Thera-nebula holes could just be placeholders too, it's hard to tell.

I wish there was a bit more influence from the player side in pushing the story forward, actual things to discover and unlock instead of it just being fed to us over time. But alas, it's still cool that this stuff is happening.

I can't imagine an event up to, and including, the seeming return of a Jovian faction in an alliance with Sleepers will go unnoticed and unmentioned by such entities as CONCORD or SoE but who knows.

am wondering. The jove station is about 180km high (estimated). Are Jove using warp drives in their elevators?

Not to mention that when the elevators would break and you would have to find spare parts by foot using the stairs. This could take up to a month if you are a semi decent athlete (dependent where the room with the spare parts is and if you can walk while sleeping).

Even if you parachute down you would break current free fall records, while solving only half of the problem.

I think there are too many of these things for that to be the case.

I just think these are the old, original, Jove stations, before the Motherships moved the Jovians away, and they are hoping to rebuild their society. Starting with using whatever old tech they can find in these outposts and stations.

True, but despite these new battleships clearly displaying a new corp logo, that doesn't inherently imply they are not originally from and allied to an older jovian faction. After all, the Drifters have yet to be seen opening fire on these structures, so they clearly care about them being intact for one reason or another.

Otherwise the drifters;

A - Would destroy them themselves if they were hostile to the structures,

B - Not even bother hanging out around them, if they were neutral to the structures. After all, why bother finding them and scanning them in that case?

So it has a superweapon activated now- I watched a Nightmare shoot the overshield down, then get one-shotted by a superweapon with a really cool sound effect.

Not too high-res, but here's a full shot: http://i.imgur.com/8fPC5I8.png

Alright let's get this out of our system:

"Look at the size of that thing!"

Shut up Red 4.

Its cool to see Mimnatar not "mobilizing fleets" like the other factions. This clearly reflects the good standing the Jove has with the Minmatar. Heh good think I have a really good standing with Minm

I had a hilarious moment on a gate last night.

I jumped into a system and saw 2 drifter battleships and a sleeper just sitting there on a gate. With all the alpha these drifter bs give out I sat there in my cloak timer thinking hmm. do i decloak.. will i get blown up. at that point just before I decloaked all 3 ships warped off.

I Have kept up to date on the drifters to the point that I didnt know they hang around gates. Do they agress on gates now or only if provoked?..
