Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 26497	Posted - 2014.12.02 15:48:32 - [9] - Quote damage notifications were registering 1/20 of volley (average 350 damage per volley). If its resist profile is the same across the board like other sleepers, it's 95% I used All level V Vindicators with Neutron Blaster II / Void which is just shy of 6600 per volley, and also split evenly between kin/therm. Siegfried Tahl wrote: Nighmare with 500 dps did fine. There are thin shields and thick armor unlike normal sleepers, nothing too hard though. 8k dps - if it was from BSes on a cruiser sized ship, there was no 8k there.. it had 8 vindi webs on it, as well as scrams. No one was moving. damage modifier was effectively perfect. But you're right, there might be some tracking error (and also my memory), and its resist profile could be 90% President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub \| Twitter \|-ámk.III \| Imgur \| Evening Games Club: Casino concept redefined \|

So I think its BS guns signature resolution and tracking thing. They arent that tough at all ;) hey i think you're right. I seem to recall orbiting now.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 26853	Posted - 2014.12.09 07:47:05 - [13] - Quote i doubt the attacking part of these circadian sleepers. the way they vanish into a puff of dust suggests they're here for observation only. there may be a cataclysmic event later, or an invasion, but I don't see it being carried out by circadians.

They are equiped with a missile launcher if you look close enough. I'm breaking the bounds of RP by making this point, but basically sleepers are probably locked into a behavior type by name (sleepless guardian etc), so I'm thinking if there's a sleeper attacking force, it will be comprised of the ones we're used to seeing in combat sites. I'm guessing that circadian sleepers are going to remain this roaming investigative type of AI. I could be wrong, but there are certainly deadlier sleepers with combat AI already in place.

Anyway, how do I make a Jove BS spawn? I've read a few pages back, but I haven't found the secret to making a Jove BS spawn. I'm on Sisi with my gang, and have been for a couple hours, lurking at an Unidentified Structure. Killed maybe four sets of waves + reinforcements, but no Jove BS.

Sleeper exploration sites in known space might spawn them, "final room" I think. Getting to the end of those is going to take a team. Good luck. Well ****.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29696	Posted - 2015.02.08 08:12:31 - [18] - Quote Sorry, posted this in the wrong thread. Basically, I did not encounter a super weapon, nor did I die, or even come close. If you look in the overview of the ship with damage, there are two other Drifter battleship wrecks. I went through five of them, with a spawn of 5 circadians in between the third and fourth Drifter spawn. Was really just an afk carrier rep (non-triage) and sig tank deal, and I checked my damage logs, and no volleys were notable. They all ranged from 1k to 2k per. Maybe they're broken today, on Sisi. Maybe they don't respond to fighter damage, or drone damage. The hypothesis that the shields might gather damage to spit it out all at once seemed like a plausible one. I'll get back on and try using triple Vindicator DPS next. (I'm being a travelling carebear and brought fully fit Vindicators for the rains, in the carrier ship maintenance bays) Something like Bastion mode, for being completely immobile... is probably not the best way to try to survive a Drifter. Spotted an unidentified wormhole beacon in Scolluzer just now, if anyone is interested in seeing Drifters firsthand.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29699	Posted - 2015.02.08 22:58:27 - [20] - Quote In the first round of 3 Drifters, I didn't lose any fighters. It wasn't until the fourth and fifth that I lost one each. Those first three Drifters were keen on shooting a Phobos, rather than drones. I wanted to find more Drifters last night, to test other weapon types and see whether drones would confused the Drifters consistently. I'll try again later, probably. That's pretty funny if the superweapon activation clashes with the NPC AI and its prioritization of drones vs hull.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29730	Posted - 2015.02.09 04:50:07 - [21] - Quote Doomsdays not using tracking is news to me. I was under the impression that non-MWD Phobos might have sig-tanked the Drifters.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29730	Posted - 2015.02.09 05:39:57 - [22] - Quote at one point, yeah, I had three Drifters shooting my Phobos. None of them activated a super weapon. I didn't have wrecks enabled in overview, but there is one in the scene somewhere. I can't spot it at the moment. If it was easier to find another drifter womrhole beacon, I could continue testing them. My DPS configuration was fighters delegated to cruisers, who had activated the fighters on the Drifters. So maybe somewhere in there, the Drifters got confused and never DD'd me. President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub \| Twitter \|-ámk.III \| Imgur \| Evening Games Club: Casino concept redefined \|
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29732	Posted - 2015.02.09 05:53:13 - [23] - Quote dunno, the number of Drifters doesn't coincide with the number of caps I had on grid, either. Had 4 carriers, 3 Drifters showed up. After that it was a group of 5 Circadians, then two Drifters that trickled in one at a time. If it's a bug, I'm not filing a support ticket. It took me way too long to find the beacon in the first place, and I want CCP to use their damn forums more. So i'm just leaving the report here.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29750	Posted - 2015.02.09 23:05:33 - [24] - Quote It just occurred to me that the number of drifter spawns might coincide with the number of ships that shot at the first drifter. So basically, however many ships are shooting at drifters will be blap'd. I'm in class right now but I'm going to test this again tonight. I think the answer to this superweapon is drones, and letting one take the heat off the player's ship. I think this is a new nuance to the AI, due to the one-shot nature of the superweapon. Unless the AI is changed to account for the boom. President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub \| Twitter \|-ámk.III \| Imgur \| Evening Games Club: Casino concept redefined \|
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 29753	Posted - 2015.02.10 01:20:18 - [25] - Quote I'll confirm that's more or less how capital escalations work, but man is that old news. Anyway, I'm wondering if you could also keep the Drifter jammed until it dies, never allowing it to fire. Or, keep it damped down to arm's reach. The only problem with using EWAR is the fact that Drifters seem to break all locks at the end of its blue shield layer. Depending on its scan res, you might be able to land EWAR before it gets a lock on anyone. If it orbits at 17km, that's what, three, maybe four Recon damps.
