Hello everybody- this is the Jovian Archivist, here with a very important bit of information to share with you!
now.eveonline.com has had a lot of interesting things posted to it these last few days- the first was a picture of what appeared to be a sleeper vessel of an unknown designation. The second, posted yesterday, contains an enormous cloaked structure and a ship in the distance.
The one from today, however, has made me realize that something enormous is underway.
The picture itself, while it does reveal what the first picture was, does not provide much information.
The quote below it, however, is a very important thing to know:
Quote:GÇÿAll the mistakes youGÇÖre making, weGÇÖve already made. All the lessons youGÇÖre learning, weGÇÖve already learned. Perhaps the most significant of these lessons is that the Sleepers do in fact pose a threat, and that threat is far greater than we had presumed.GÇÖ - Empress Jamyl Sarum
On the surface, not much seems to be going on here other than Jamyl Sarum telling her empire that the Sleepers are dangerous (you don't say?). However, there's something going on in a much deeper sense.
If any of you haven't read Templar One yet and don't want it spoiled, stop here.
So Empress Jamyl Sarum, as we know, is a capsuleer. She was supposed to have died following the succession trials, but returned, as she had gone against the law of the Emperor family not cloning themselves. However, something happened during the cloning process: an entity took control of the facility and modified her. This entity is known as the 'Other'.
The 'Other' is an entity born completely within the confines of the Sleeper VR world. It wishes to destroy the Sleepers and change New Eden into its own vision. Now, we don't know what that "twisted vision" (as Grious calls it) is, but it does not bode well for humanity.
The 'Other' has control over Jamyl. It can 'posess' her and make her say whatever it wants, along with controlling her body and modifying her memory. It is now instructing the Empire to seek out and destroy the Sleepers appearing.
Do the Sleepers ever attack us? No, not unless we approach their home. For the most part, they have wanted to be left alone. However, they are now making their way back into New Eden, where they originally departed from. They are well aware of the threat the 'Other' poses to their world, and will doubtlessly be trying to eliminate it. the 'Other' is obviously opposed to this, and though it lives through many more entities than Jamyl, it is not safe from the Sleepers. It wants 'us' to destroy the Sleepers to protect itself.
Now, along with this, we have seen a number of communiques from Hilen Tukoss recently ( [1] [2] [3] ). The first two were cryptic and filled with hexadecimal code. They requested for the body parts of Misu Baniya, which were distributed in 2004, to be donated to Site One, the Arek'Jaalan research facility in Eram.
However, the third message is very different. It is a broken communication from Tukoss, seemingly telling us that he is being held by someone or something, and that Site One has been compromised. The first time I read this, I immediately thought that either the Sleepers were acting maliciously in some way, or that the 'Other' is scheming something using the parts. But with today's message, I have realized that something much, much bigger may be happening.
Some more background: the Sleepers are suspected to have created the Jovian Disease to covertly force the entirely of the Jovians to join them in their world. They left after the Jove pursued them, and escaped into Anoikis.
But the thing is, the Jovians fear the 'Other' as much as the Sleepers do. It is the single biggest threat to ever emerge in New Eden, and as it is now, the Sleepers and Jovians have a common enemy. If it truly is the Sleepers who are collecting the Ambassador's body parts, then they are intending to use them for something. The only thing I have come up with is that they may intend to reverse the Disease and work alongside their brothers to oppose the 'Other'.
If this is at all true, than it means three things:
One: We cannot trust the Empires in this matter.
Two: The Sleepers are not the enemy.
Three: We are about to see something beyond the scope of anything we have experienced in New Eden before.
I just may be completely wrong about this entire situation- but if I'm right about even one thing, than this needs to be heard.
Thank you all for listening.

If you look into the background the the second image, you can clearly see the swirls in the nebulae create both a strip of Bacon.. and the word PLEX written in cursive.
This has one of 2 implications..
1. This confirms Half Life 3.
2. PLEX4BACON is a go.
Either way..

The Sleepers are collecting the parts of a Jovian.
The Jovians and the Sleepers now have a common enemy.
The Sleepers are suspected of creating the Jovian Disease, and may now be about to reverse it for the purpose of stopping the 'Other'
Or at least that's what I've gotten from these happenings- something big is happening, and I'm going to keep myself updated on it. The panel at EVE Down Under on saturday will likely reveal even more, by the way.
I could be wrong about this, but a theory is always worth sharing And if thisis what's happening, than I'm siding with the Sleepers and the Jovians.

And this thread is way to interesting to lock....

Also, if anything, this is a pure EVE Lore discussion. His post is not even in-character. EVE Lore is great, but a lot of work goes into it to make it a plausible science fiction. Plus there's how Jove are EVEs mysterious aliens, with egg-shaped heads. |

As long as we're catching the hype train, the pics have some interesting tells:
The picture of the new ships have some interesting articles on them.
This picture shows what appears to be some sort of logistics vessel leaving a sleeper site. It's a three quarter view pic, which shows two ships in tandem. Notice the four spheres on each side of the ships running parallel for a total of four spheres. You can see what appear to be either parallel lines, or some kind of a reflection in these, which are all similar.
Now, take a look at this picture: There is a fifth sphere on top of the ship in this angle. Notice there the four outer spheres seem to have a dull silver color to them, while the sphere on top appears to be void of the silver hue. Also the fifth sphere is reflecting the nebulae "slightly" differently. The spheres on the side of the ship appear to have a pyramid triangle shape reflected in them, or possible its depicting something inside the spheres, while the fifth sphere on top is devoid of this pyramid/triangle ship.
I wonder if this a Wormhole Generation Ship?
Of course this is rampant speculation, but looking at the pictures, and jumping the hype train is fun.
Also +1 for bacon.

I was actually beginning to suspect the same thing! There's a hatch on the top of the ship, where the fifth sphere is- also, they seem to have some sort of beacon on them. Knowing that the Sleepers opened the wormholes themselves to leave the New Eden cluster, I'm beginning to suspect that these ships are using the same technology- and that we're going to witness the scope of what the Architects are capable of very soon

This goes back to the discussion of what happened when the SOE ships got released Well, guess what, I was right Sleepers be invading K space! Grab the blasters and fly me toward them! I want me melted nanoribbons! All hail the other, may its nebulous plan succeed!
In other news, this is what was meant by the SOE ship names and how they were showing the way, what with the tale involving invasions of other things and mass death
Oh and the last sorrowful step home by the little brother, he is not welcome The other is a little brother to Sarym, he has come home to K space, he is not welcome Woe befalls us for soon there shall be live events, and they will not be in your time zone! Lament and wail ye capsuleers! Lament! |

The 'Other' is manipulating things, along with working in-line with the desires of many of the leaders of the empire factions, to further its own insertions. The Sleepers and, perhaps, the Jovians are resisting and trying to end the 'Other'. There is no proof for any of this, bus as time goes on, some things are seeming more and more plausible.
What I'm most curious about, though, is what the true goals of the 'Other' are- we are told that it wants to reshape the world in its own "twisted image", but we have no idea what that implies.
Also, I went back to the Prophecies of Macaper- I think it's quite eerie how well some of these things line up with the events in EVE, and it amazes me to imagine how much of this has actually been planned out from the very beginning:
GÇ£the little brother makes the final sorrowful steps home; he is not welcomeGÇ¥ At least one possibility could be the Sleepers making their return to New Eden, only to be attacked by the Other and those it has manipulated.
GÇ£what was many now becomes one when one becomes fourGÇ¥ The only thing that comes to mind is the uniting of capsuleers in the wake of CONCORD dissolving, somehow.

I mean if you think about it that's a pretty sick feature. We are people playing a videogame, and behind all the game features a story is being written as if the players were powerful people being unknowingly directed towards someone else's goal.

As an aside, this Hilen Tukoss is a CCP account that has been creating content on the lore front. At first I believed it was just a player, but it's interesting to see CCP actively drive a story that connects back to upcoming expansions.

The first two were cryptic and filled with hexadecimal code. They requested for the body parts of Misu Baniya, which were distributed in 2004, to be donated to Site One, the Arek'Jaalan research facility in Eram. However, the third message is very different. It is a broken communication from Tukoss, seemingly telling us that he is being held by someone or something, and that Site One has been compromised. The first time I read this, I immediately thought that either the Sleepers were acting maliciously in some way, or that the 'Other' is scheming something using the parts. But with today's message, I have realized that something much, much bigger may be happening. As an aside, this Hilen Tukoss is a CCP account that has been creating content on the lore front. At first I believed it was just a player, but it's interesting to see CCP actively drive a story that connects back to upcoming expansions. Yes, he was heavily involved with all of the WH and Arek'Jaalan goings-on a few years ago- once he returned, I knew something was up- and then "he" started asking for Baniya's parts- I actually donated an Epidermis Sliver. And now, with what seems to be happening now, I'm glad to give to the Sleepers.

So, I gotta ask... Why help the Sleepers and Jove? It's true, we have no idea what the 'Other''s aims are- but at the same time, we know it wants to take humanity for itself.
So we have no enidence for why we should choose either side- but I'd rather side with the last vestiges of original humanity than an AI like this one But if I learn anything, I will always take it into consideration.
Also, forget shattered wheels- what do I do with my Villard Wheels? They're huge!

That may be so, but the technological advancement made by the Jove are second to none, to this day. If the Jovian Disease was a Sleeper-made artificial ceiling to this advancement, then mankind can seek to benefit from the Disease being cured.
If anything, the Empires are stunting the growth of humanity with religion, politics, and slavery. Imagine what Capsuleers could accomplish if they were truly one with technology, instead of the inept and experimental immortality which has such great limitations in space, consciousness, and time.

Alright, another question: What are the rogue drones about? Are they another aspect of the Other, a creation of the Jove/Sleepers to recreate the birthing of the Other in order to understand it or actually a new emergent infomorph like the Other?
Maybe the Prophecy of Macaper GÇ£what was many now becomes one when one becomes fourGÇ¥ means the Rogue Drones unite into a emergent hive infomorph (many become one) and the number of non-empire parties working behind the scenes is revealed to be not just one, the Jove, but four, the Jove, the Sleepers, the Other and the Drones.

Nope. Sansha's incursions are a training program. Seriously, if you had the ability to create wormholes into normal space and had a seemingly unlimited supply of ships, why would you continually lose? Why is no ground being taken and held? Why aren't worlds and stations being burned? Why are invasions designed to invite defeat in detail?
The incursions are thus a training program (i.e. war games for immortals) to get the capsuleers ready for the real fight to come.

Hm, The quote from that screenshot comes from a Dust Chronicle called : 514 Where, in a clandestine meeting, Empress Jamyl urges the other empires to find a way to stop capsuleers continuing their genocide against Sleepers, because the sites, the technology and everything we find in the wormholes are the sleeper minds & worlds that we tear apart. Failure to stop the capsuleers would awaken a threat & power far beyond ours...
Looks like Jamyl's words have become prophetic with the Sleepers returning to our space.

As long as we're still riding the hype train:
As I've read some of the other comments, and I re-read a couple portions of Templar One; I'm beginning to speculate that the Sleepers as a player race, would fit perfectly into the scheme of the "permadeath", "perma-suspect" pilots some we're discussing at EVE Vegas. It would tie in greatly to the lore, as well as allowing these "alleged" free to play accounts a starting point in Thera. All wild speculation of course, but it does fit elegantly.

I'm joining the slightly cynical train. As much as a galaxy changing event would be nice, we've been here before the the incursions. It'll add a new game play element to the galaxy, but that'll be it. You know what I'd like to see? Systems burn and brought to waste. Holding actions by empire fleets to halt a big bad that is winning, and winning hard, till something as dramatic move along the lines of Admiral Yakia Tovil-Toba crashing his Chimera into Gallente Prime. Till the face of New Eden is irrevocably scarred and changed for the rest of the game.
It's not going to happen, I appreciate that, but occasionally the epic is missing outside of the player driven side of things. |

Some people were suggesting having the Jovians become the 'burner' clone race, but the sleepers make sense- they already have the knowledge of ships and can learn things instantaneous within their world through time dilation.
They could be planning and doing this to come into k-space and end the threat of the Other- I'm really into this idea

Gameplay wise, it'll throw in alot as well, tech 3 destroyers, the Thera system & the Shattered wormhole systems, not to mention bigger sleeper siets in empire space & roaming Sleeper NPC's !
Can't wait to see how it'll all connects!

Agreed on this specifically. A few years ago When I read the "Burning Life", I was constantly thinking to myself: The Sisters of EVE oppose capsuleers on an almost fanatical level. They do a great job of hiding behind their humanitarian efforts, but I've long suspected that we will be seeing more aggressive moves from them. I wouldn't be surprised that a high SOE standing in game will be a gateway for interacting with Sleeper factions in the future. Just pure speculation from the canon I've read. (or rather my interpretations.)

Do keep in mind that the Sleepers, regardless of their highly advanced technology, are still humans. Their drones are far more advanced than anything the Empires of New Eden are capable of, but they're still human.
There are no Aliens, we are an invading force though, you're certainly right on that point. The response from the Sleepers will probably be quite drastic, and may well be the end of the current balance of power, although I'm not certain if the Sleepers themselves are actually waking up, or this is an advanced defensive mechanism kicking in autonomously. |

I would like to disagree. For one, the ship is in mid-warp, fighter drones do not display their health when you are offgrid on your UI, correct?(I am not 100% certain of this, not a carrier pilot) The UI is also saying 0 of max 10 in space, which unless part of the bug, means that those are indeed health bars of drones in the ship bay.
Edit2: Those are also a Civilian Mining Drone and a Salvage Drone, which will be abandoned when you enter warp no matter what ship you fly, so my bet is definitely on health bars on drones in bay.
I could be wrong! But that is my observation.
Edit: Also, that was something on the Internal test servers apparently, so(If I am correct) not on Singularity/Duality: "A rogue CCP Karkur brought her Thanny to Thera. Even on our internal test servers no caps are allowed there (except freighters), so weGÇÖre hunting her down to give her what she deserves" |

Thats the most important observation in this thread. I always thought those cables/tentackes were some sort of "arms" with clamps like for working underwater. I found that a bit silly. What do warships need arms for and those always looked like they were helplessly flailing in space.
Now if you replace "head" with "cockpit" or "crew cabin" you are on to something. Either the npc sleepers will get better with the head or it might be possible for players to fly the sleeper ships. |

I've been looking at the image of what I can only presume is a cloaked station, trying to figure out what it actually looks like.
Unfortunately I've not got much to contribute, but I did do some work with photoshop.
http://i.imgur.com/LPfmqbp.jpg (Original for Comparison)
The cloaking effect seems to be green so I sharpened the picture up then replaced some of the green hues with white to highlight them. There's definitely a greater return of green from where the structure is but unfortunately there was a lot of background noise from green points in the nebula.
I couldn't highlight anything at the top or bottom of the structure without catching a load of noise all over the image. However, if you look carefully you can see some pretty clear edges there, which I highlighted on the image. I'm not so sure about the ones at the bottom, maybe decide for yourself looking at the original.
One last thing though, i found a density of green to the left and right of the main structure (highlighted in the image) as well which doesn't seem to occur anywhere else in the background. So I think we are looking at a vertical structure with protrusions to the left and right. The one on the right shows no green between it and the main structure so I wonder if it is either entirely free of the main structure or attached only on a narrow boom.
Maybe those clues will help someone with more familiarity with the lore identify it, because I'm pretty stumped. I'd hoped for better results. |

Nice find! I included this in the updated news article I made about the deeper levels of lore involved with the current Wormhole/Sleeper arc in Eve: Strange Sleeper ships & speculations about conspiracies (Updated)
In order to make it passable in character I had to describe your findings, the Dust Merc analysis of the image, Uriels excellent analysis & Rhavas observation of the Sisters as conspiracy theories tho.

In other words, where a pilot would be "plugged in"- It could be anything, but if the Sleepers are returning to New Eden, I wouldn't be surprised if they're being piloted directly.

Just an observation, but entities like sleeper ships and rogue drones that have manipulator appendages could only use them for two things.
1: Building something. 2: Taking something apart, but not destroying it.
Either of which could be quite disturbing.

Read Templar One. It contains the origins of the sleepers, the creation of the dustbunnies and all kinds of stuff.
I just finished reading it at 0200 last night, over the last few days the only thing that has stopped me reading it has been the missus (nudge nudge wink wink). Hell, I've been reading it at work with kindle app!

We've not yet explored how the sudden appearance of the Sleeper's caches in k-space tie in.
The structures you find in the deadspace pocket are all damaged. The gigantic structure meant to keep the cache cloaked has been wilfully .. well.. blapped seems a good term if you look at the size of the hole that's been ripped in it. Though from weapons/sources unknown.
The storage structures when you get inside have all also been either damaged, or are described as being raked through, gone over in a hurried search for something.
Do we have any idea who or what would have the resources and the motivation to do this?
Why would the Sleepers care one way or the other what the rest of lesser-developed humanity has been up to to the point they start collecting the crap we make?
We know the architects and sleepers are sub-factions of what we call the Jove, architects being the progenitors of gate travel, sleepers providing the theory and from what you can surmise from the blue loot they drop, the drive to get out of the New Eden cluster to somewhere else. Perhaps back to Earth. Maybe just into Anoikis.
If the Sleepers were escaping a vengeful Jove Empire for their misguided attempt to pull the entire civilsation into VR though, how do the Talocan figure?
Sleeper structures are entwined with Talocan ones, everything in W-space points to some kind of outbreak/containment/cultural exchange going on but I've seen nothing in any lore, or novel to explain where they fit in to this. Maybe they assisted the Sleepers in containing the Jovian disease (as opposed to the Sleepers creating/forcing it on the Jove) but then, why would Garious be against them? And if the Jove are against the Sleepers why the **** would the SOE turn the capsuleers against them?
Personally I haven't the faintest scooby doo wtf is going on but I can't wait to find out.

[Game News] Directive Enforcement Department: "Unusual Nation Activity In Oasa"
BREAKING NEWS - CONCORD's Directive Enforcement Department has released a revised security alert for CZ-06R, a constellation in the outer region of Oasa. In the update, issued during the last hour, the DED cited unusual and unexplained activity of Sansha's Nation incursion forces as the cause for the revised alert.
A number of independent security forces have reported that earlier this week a large scale incursion of Nation's True Power division emerged in the CZ-06R constellation. They further report that for some six days the incursion fleet has controlled the area with no contest from local capsuleer forces. Despite their overwhelming superiority in the constellation, observers reported that Nation forces abruptly began evacuating star systems without using wormholes at approximately 13:45 Eve Standard Time today.
After issuing the revised alert, Brigadier General Odo Korachi of the DED's Genesis Fleet assured the assembled press that all avenues of investigation are being explored to ascertain the reason for the sudden disappearance of thousands of hostile True Power vessels. General Korachi added: At this time, we are unsure if this change in the normal pattern of a Nation incursion is an attempt at luring curious pilots into the area in order to stage a large scale ambush, or if there are other reasons for the withdrawal of True Power forces from CZ-06R. We advise all pilots to remain clear of the area until a thorough investigation has been conducted.
Scope News has confirmed with CONCORD sources that substantiated reports from cargo runners and caravan pilots describe large numbers of Sansha's Nation vessels rapidly leaving the constellation using both the regional stargate network and off-grid deadspace stargates known to the local smuggler community. Several of these reports agree that the Nation fleets were heading out of Oasa and into the Cobalt Edge region. |

I read that- and from what we can see so far, it seems like the Sansha are becoming aware of something going on with the wormhole tech they use. If the sleepers are assuming direct control of them (I'm almost positive now that those beacons and urns on the sleeper ships are wormhole generators) than they have a it of trouble in their future too- things are about to heat up big time

I've been playing in Photoshop as well, but nothing better or worse that what has been supplied already.
It looks like a Paladin is orbiting or parked very close to whatever is cloaked. I realize that there is no real way to determine scale, as forced perspective is pretty easily accomplished in 2D images. That being said, I don't think we're looking at a station or a ship. My guess is this is a Sleeper POS.
It would make sense for Sleeper POS to not have a shield bubble, as their ships are not shield tanked at all, why would their structures be? Maybe the trade off, will be they can be anchored anywhere in space, and you can dock in them, but they can cloak? Or maybe they can only be anchored in Shattered Wormholes? Who knows.
I dig the effort and puzzle though. |

Actually iirc from templar one, the "Other" is actualy a sleeper not a entity born in the sleeper VR world. I thought it was a entity that emerged out of the connected consciousnesses of the networked sleepers in VR stasis. Which caused a kind of civil war within the system.

Well, IIRC, Aeter is famous for being technically the largest system in k-space. Not as in the maximum distance between celestials (I believe there are systems around X7 that have longer warps), but as in having a planet with the highest orbit (about 121 AU).
As for the star, it shows as K3. Spectral class K2 IV.
Hasama,on the other hand, has a different star and is pretty small. While Aeter is in a backwater deadend lowsec island, Hasama is a pipe system between 2 regions.
I don't think the systems themselves have much significance, though it would probably be wise to check other faction lows for these, uhh, obelisks. |

We know from the Seyllin incident that caches of isogen-5 have been hidden around New Eden and that the disaster was caused by several of these hidden caches exploding at the L1 legrange point between several Type O1 stars and Planet 1 in the system. But there's nothing to say there aren't more caches in other star systems with different stars entirely, and if there are then they're likely cloaked. That unidentified structure looks awfully like it's got a malfunctioning cloaking device, which draws a parallel with how the Amarr Empress found the Terran superweapon in a facility hidden by a Jovian cloaking device that happened to fail.
If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say these structures are either Jove Isogen-5 caches or covert Sleeper structures that are only now coming to life. Either option is exciting and pushes the core storyline forward. EDIT: Or it could just be a christmas event thing and we're blowing it out of proportion :D |

There could be many reasons for all these sightings,
1. We know that isogen-5 is the base material for the super weapon and the Jove may have set cloaking devices on all of them so they cannot be mined, bombed, locked or poked with a fork. The reason why you cant do anything with them at this time is because the cloaking devices are protecting them. However considering they may have been there all along its possibly that the cloaking devices are starting to fail. It could be the raw energy source for the new gate or gates that could possibly be made in the future. 2. It could actually just be a shard from a planet. we know that most cores have an area around them of huge crystals.
3. CCP could just be taking the **** and Falcon is laughing his head off at all of us.
4. As we know none of the Jove mother ships have never been seen, however we do know there were 3 of which one was out of service many years ago. There is an insert that concord or any of the other races officially knew how many Jove mother ships had been constructed or what they looked like. None have ever been noted as the same or have had recent images of them. You could possibly say they are Jove mother ships and there cloaks are failing. If there are multiple sightings of these it could possibly transpire that there cloaks are failing and that the sleepers may have to come to protect them.
Could it be possible that the shards are actual Jove mother ships with failing cloaks and if so with there cloaks failing could the ships be waking up. The Jove gradually showing they are here with us and have been all the time?. However it could be the reverse. There is a note about sleepers in the new patch and kind of hinting that its a really bad idea to engage them.
We seem to be basing "sleepers" on the Wh sleepers we have known for some years now. However it could also be possible this is somebody who has been sleeping or has been asleep. We know that the Jove had cryo's and had been in stasis for some time. Is this the new sleeper. The Jove awakening?
Sorry for the babble. I must congrat CCP though on making one of the best anticipated patches I have ever seen since beta |

You know These could actually be Jove tech super weapons that destroy Gates and systems. Look at the positioning of the sightings.
If these are super weapons and they go bang they could make the gate jump mapping completely different.
All the gates vaporized in Jove space and now these shards are popping up not everywhere but in key places. |

If the Sleepers have powerful shields that's particularly distubing because the historical records say it was the Yan Jung (another ancient civ) that had the advanced shield technology. Either the Sleeper's basic shield tech is well beyond anything we have (and the Yan Jung's shields would therefore be absurdly powerful if we ever meet them) or these roaming Sleepers may actually have access to Yan Jung tech. |

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.

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%

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

Followed it when it warped off, we landed at a planetary customs office, it interacted the same way with it as it does with the unidentified structure, then came back to the site.
So I think the rock is actually a rock and the sleeper mines it and unloads result at a customs office.
But there is a problem. Sleepers often seem to confuse the rock with the celestial beacon in the site - both have the same name. So it unloads nothing.

Some guy said he saw a sleeper scanning a station when he undocked, some other guy said it scanned his ship. So I may have got it wrong. Maybe it scans objects in the system and then dumps the result to the structure.
Interesting note. It only has one visible turret http://i.imgur.com/x40HUN4.jpg maybe looks familiar to someone? Tho most likely its sleeper specific module.

All the gates vaporized in Jove space and now these shards are popping up not everywhere but in key places. Just to elaborate upon that thought...
Perhaps this is the means for players to create and build star gates. They get destroyed, the four Empires and Concord can not afford and / or do not have the means in man power or materials to replace them, so to keep the universe open, we players have to build them. Especially if by chance an unknown enemy seeks to wage war in our universe and thus uses divide and conquer techniques by limiting star gate travel.
And this just happens after CCP nerfed light year distant jumps for ships so most players could not by-pass these divided areas. |

Of course, I could be totally wrong/ but that would be interesting 
It'd be a cool future lore event. Say, a race of sorts. On the one hand, if enough capsuleers in enough different ships are scanned, we get access to some cool new stuff. On the other, if capsuleers destroy enough Roamers before the scan quota is met, the "cool new stuff" is used against us in some way.
Just spitballing here.

I was looking into the name of the new sleepers. circadian definition: of or relating to biological processes that occur regularly at about 24-hour intervals, even in the absence of periodicity in the environment See also biological clock..
its basically a biological rhythm that operates on a 24 hour cycle and can do so without periodic stimulus like day/night cycle.
so i hope this helps some of you figure things out.

So I had a brainwave on a couple theories based on these unidentifed structures.
Theory #1) These structures are in fact Isogen V or some other mineral in the EVE universe that will come into play. Either this mineral model has not been finished, explaining the texture work that someone posted a bit ago, or it is not "in phase" with the rest of the universe. The mineral has something to do with superweapons such as the one used by the Amarr, gates to new systems, or the Jove. This mechanic has something to do with the drones that are collecting the minerals, or they could be completely separate from the unidentified structures.
Theory #2) These are a structure designed by a race, sleepers, Jove, or one of the past races in the eve lore. This has been substantiated by the large numbers of structures that have been found all over space. I personally have seen them in hisec, lowsec, nullsec, and in positions surrounding the new celestial in Jove Space and the eve gate. If the Jove or the sleepers are monitoring us, then the new roaming drones would make sense for an invasion or another incursion-like mechanic.
Theory #3) Its related to the space time anomalies that could result in the new celestial in Jove space. If that's the case its possible that the future of eve could involve time travel.
Just some thoughts. |

Tried warp scrambling, heavy neuting, jamming Circadian Sleepers. Doesnt seem to bother, slow down or stop them. They just keep doing their thing. Scanning the structure, warp to customs office, scan there, repeatedly.
Out of several times I tried to follow the Sleeper it didnt land at the office though, couldnt find at planet or moons, and there were no other objects to warp to in that direction. So there may be a bug, or it warps off somewhere else immediatly, cause it returns to the Structure site from another direction.
If they are so interested in Customs Offices I thought it was worth a try to anchor an Office Gantry in the Unidentified Structure site. But they dont let to do it if you're in NPC corp like myself. If someone was so nice to try that...
If its possible to anchor one without a planet. You cant place a Siphon without a Control Tower around.

Could be a connect the dots thing? If so, I would include the previous systems that went boom in that. Perhaps there is a symbol, or pattern that way. Just theorycrafting here.

Darn.... Better hope it's not for an invasion, because if it is, then the Sleepers just caught us with our pants down..... Imagine finding hidden POS/Stations/Outposts in 10% of your sov space....
On the other side, being able to build so many of these large structures does indicate some extremely advanced sensor jamming equipment, or the structures are just very old and Caroline's Star/Bright Star disrupted their cloaks/sensor-jamming equipment.

I have no idea what's going on, but it's pretty damn cool.
Just a thought though - why would the sleepers be scanning these LCOs if they already knew what they were/what they did? Could it be that these objects are a threat to them or something? Or something they are trying to use/find out more about?
Dunno. Too excited to think. |

Guess stations in Thera are not the only permanent settlement they are planning. This new log is dated four years ago, so it's the next step in the story of Thera's colonisation. Looks like SOE needed to create an underground colony on one of the planets for some reason, and it required geological scans. My best guess is they were starting up a mining operation in order to build the stations etc in the system without shipping anything in, which would help them stay hidden. The alternative is that they needed somewhere safe from the unstable star's radiation and an underground colony makes the most sense. |

Anyone else explores Unidentified Stucture and Circadian Seeker Sleepers? What's the news?
Quote:Patch notes for Rhea 1.0Release on Tuesday December 9, 2014 Audio: ... Sound environment for a cloaked structure Sounds for new sleeper scout drone ... Exploration: Scanners are now detecting Unidentified Sites throughout New Eden; we have nothing on record about the contents within... Missions & NPCs: New sleeper scout drone, the Circadian Seeker, can be found roaming known space The Circadian Seeker NPC has multiple action states, based upon an improved AI...
The Structure seems completly passive. Sleepers warp around the system 'scanning' things, prefer the Structure and customs offices. Go in group from 1 to 5. They now leave empty wreck. Still dont shoot back, flee, call backup, or react at all. Looks like they have 2 heavy missile launchers or their 'scanner' thing has launchers model.
You cant neut, jam, dampen, data/relic analyze, scram them, so I dont know how to make them show their 'multiple action states'.
Lets discuss

I really wonder if these will be part of occupancy based sov.
It feels like an invasion, or I suppose in actuality a retaliation for being invaded since they were here first. I wonder if they will become hostile the longer they are left alone. To the point of maybe even destroying player outposts, and stargates, isolating systems, and forcing people to live there to defend all of these things, or mount an assault to reclaim, and rebuild.
Maybe. I think that would be cool. It practically writes itself. |

On another note, do station/gate guns react on Sleeper Ships (the Circadian ones) react if they visit gates/stations & scan them? (if they visit those places) Shhhhh- it's , more fun when it's a secret!
And I'm in an encounter with the circadians- they give a weird digital effect to your hull when they scan you

We already know it's a crystalline looking structure from looking at it's model in the game files. |

Yes i did. Bought each sample of sleeper blue loot, and sansha dogtags too just in case. Didnt make a difference. Pew-pewed them alittle to attract attention, they scanned me, nothing.
Thought there could be something in sansha incursion constellations (or some clues to find in Oasa-Cobalt border, tho it maybe too late). http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/ded-report-on-nation-activity/
Anyway, visited 4 incursion constellations. There were no Unidentified Structures in 3 of them, but I think their absence is just a coincidence, cause there is one for xmpl in Black Rise > Inolari > Raihbaka.
And the site doesnt look any different. Sleepers behave the same. They even peacefully hang out with Sanshas in belts. http://i.imgur.com/i6n7B6G.jpg
So I think they are either incomplete yet, mechanics not fully implemented, or we should look better for ways to wake them up.
One more thing I'm gonna try. You have to decloak some cans in the new Standard Sleeper Cache site by flying into them. That may be the case here too. Maybe there is something to decloak in the cloud around the Structure.

That circadian sleepers scan your ship right, if i read correctly i think someone mentioned that ? has anyone apporached it with a t3 ship ( which has somewhat sleeper componetns in it ) ?
Because t3 cruisers ( and t3 destroyers i presume if they will be made along the same lines as cruisers, needing sleeper salvage parts for production ) are basically made from the remains of killed sleeper ships and stolen stuff from their space. If they scan your ship it would be logical that they react to finding that you fly stolen property from their dead brethren. |

I'm on it! Give me time, I need them to warp to an empty moon, so that they have no choice but to scan my ship. (That's the only occasion where I saw them scan me)
EDIT: Fun fact (or valuable intel?), rapid lights with auto targeting missiles don't work on them. "No suitable target in range".
EDIT 2: Nothing happened :(
EDIT 3: Actually, I might have activated their mating protocols...
EDIT 4: It just scanned me AND at the same time scanned the jovian structure. I didn't know they could do that. Two scans at the same time.

NEW HOT STUFF!!!
Circadian Seeker's beam is non-targeted thing, so one can cloak if 'scanned', and if one does that, then the Sleeper hangs up, stops scanning, stops orbiting, turns off its engines. Hangs in there for several minutes before it turns on and starts doing it's thing again, like warp around scanning stuff. Think its time to do something unnatural with it.

Ship scan still hangs if used on them, unlocks if you fly far enough. Shows no mods in result, but 750/750 GJ power.

The "hang" state was also triggered for one of the four sleepers when the other two decided to mate (cf my post at the top of this page), just sayin', we could also dig on this side

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.

So maybe the static exits for the shattered wormholes are the US systems. Instead of a static to a certain type of system (highsec, lowsec, etc), the exits are a certain network of systems that can be any type of k-space. Say "Shattered Hole X" has two static exits. One day those exits are a high sec and a null sec, next day it's two low sec exits, day after that it's a low and a null, etc.
Would that be a thing the devs could pull off with too much headache in the coding?

I actually paraded with a variety of civilians around the Circadian Seekers & the cloaked structures, no response tho.

Does anyone recognize this? Nebula on the left and arm of the galaxy on the right, I thought of Stain (Sansha NPC region) at first, but the nebula seems different. A ring shaped object may be a part of the sky too, but may be an object in a system or something.

I don't know if it's still like this, but the last time I looked at one of those and went to the total center of the hole, I zoomed in completely on my ship and looked around from the inside - I could see every nebula in k-space depending on which direction I was looking.

Its definetly Pure Blind region, it is the sky from Violent Wormholes in Epicenters. No Blue nebula in Fade yet. Inside the ring shape in Outer Ring.
So I intend checking Pure Blind for some new celestials, unique WHs, A009 maybe (a wild guess on that), abnormal sleepers behavior, Unidentified Structures in 5 adjacent systems matching 5 violent wormholes...

Well, while the unidentified structures apparently didn't change after the patch, the Circadian seekers definitely did! Now they respond to attacks & even pod people (if you give them the time to do it! They don't disrupt your warpdrives).
You can read about it in my most recent publication 'Circadian Seekers retaliate!'
Did put an emphasis into the podding, as that is very unique behaviour. No known NPC entity does this on purpose (there's a few AOE damage events, only stuff I know that could pod outside direct player attacks)
For now, we do seem to miss something in order to progress the story on our side. Maybe some hidden clue lies in the new shattered wormholes regarding the link to the Seekers, Sleepers & the unidentified strucures (look for a structure with similar appearance?) Or maybe the newly released Superior Sleeper cache sites one can find (in low? Null) might have some clues in the form of descriptions, structures or odd loot?
I do wonder where it'll all lead towards...

Regarding some recent info i collected about the Circadian Seeker change, I updated my article on it: 'Circadian Seekers retaliate!'
Main things are the change in behaviour by the Seekers since Proteus, listed below:
-Seekers defend themselves now -In case the aggressor flees, Seekers pursue him relentlessly until he leaves system or docks. returning too soon to the system or undocking too fast will cause the Seekers to re-initiate the attack on you. They do have a 60 second interval before they warp to you tho. -Seekers pod people! (if you give them the time, damage is low on pod & they don't disrupt your warp) -They might disrupt drone targeting, making it hard to keep all your drones on the same target (needs more investigation)
Will do my best to stay on top of these new developments, if you spot anything new/odd don't hesitate to inform people!

I've been reading a lot of the forums and other posts, and now i present to you, my theory:
It all starts with The Other (well known for residing within the Amarr empress).
The other has a plan.
First it took over the construct. He took over the Sleepers and their drones. It has taken a long time, but while and after he took over the sleeper he used the drones to scout known space. He let them build bases (the ones we can now find by scanning them out) for a unknown reason. Now we are seeing Sleepers in know space, I've no idea if it's intended or just a failing of technology, but what we do know is that the Sleepers in know space have shields. So they do try to get stronger.
I think this is a ruse of The Other to scare people OR to show them of as the saviors of the masses by scaring off and killing the Sansha. I'm not to sure about this part.
Now to the really interesting part.
The Other used the empress to start with the implants for normal people (the ones used by the soldiers in Dust 514). I think this was a test, to see how the normal people would react, how the implants behaved and if The Other could take over those soldiers.
I'm thinking that The Other would like to take over a lot more then only the Sleepers and the empress. So he's probably going to spread the implants to the normal people with the promise that they can be like the Capsuleers or help fight the Sansha/Sleepers with it.
Then when everyone (or at least a big part of the eve population) has an implant he takes them over and makes them his slaves. Just like he did with the Sleepers and the Sleeper drones.
The Jovian probably noticed the plans and tried something, Whether they are cowards who blew up a star to isolate them from the rest of eve, they tried to build/test a powerful weapon I do not know. It might even be possible that the sleepers (on orders of The Other) attacked the Jovian.
(There is also a small possibility that the Jovian exploded something just so the cloaks in known space would start to fail, so they could warn the empires and the Capsuleers of the oncoming danger.)
As far as the Thera incident, sisters of eve and the opening of wormholes: They are not connected to The Other. They merely forced The Other to react faster than he anticipated. |

What if
Sansha k. is another embodiment of The Other and the Sleepers we are seeing now are the True Sleepers that managed to escape his grip and now are coming back with a vengeance to wipe him out? Maybe The Other has been isolated somehow. The Sansha hive-mind is reminiscent of The Construct so there might be a similarity there.

Okay, just to update - Circadians actually have a true DPS of over 500 if applied correctly. They have heavy missiles and battleship-size turrets. Interesting - I wonder what's going to happen next

They're using large turrets (0.04 rad/sec) and heavy missiles- so in your cruiser you'd probably be getting well under half the DPS (>500 total), and a BS would take the brunt.

I noticed yesterday in arnon the seekers were hanging around the soe station off and on all day. I dont know if it was because people killing them constantly and they were reinforcing or they have a special interest in the sisters themselves.
I really REALLY hope ccp does something cool with these things and not just use them as space janitors for all the long lost offline structures scattered throughout the universe. |

I'm curious, has anybody checked up on the k-space shattered systems? Just speculation, but maybe since the shattered systems were created by the wormholes and/or sleepers they have something to do with all of this?

I spent some quality time on Sisi tonight to watch and document. Findings on Reddit here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2tcp3x/roaming_sleepers_on_sisi_are_getting_new_toys/cny0zwz
TLDR:
- The site despawned at downtime
- I found a new one in Iyen-Oursta
- 4 Seekers spawned, scanned, warped out, warped back
- When they warped back, two Drifter Battleships spawned and began escorting the Seekers on warps
So ... our Seeker friends now have a bit more armament accompanying.
Interesting side notes:
- There was no Unidentified Structure in system, just an Unidentified Wormhole.
- In both systems, the beacon was WAY at the outer edge of the system, unlike signatures which are generally <4AU from a celestial.

There's a new JOVE BATTLESHIP in the SISI files!
Not sleeper (this isn't a drone), a Jovian ship. It has a "pilot": a Jovian, as far as CONCORD sees it.
This ship is ancient, from the description here, so it seems to be a ship that is both sleeper and Jovian together, from the era in which they split off and the Architects made their home in Anoikis. The Sleepers are, physically, Jovian.
And they are waking up.

I just saw something I'm not sure has been put on the table yet. I went to an unidentified structure and was following the sleepers that I had found there around. Now, nothing sooper major happened, however, I realized the sleepers were scanning the unidentified structure!
Although the sleepers only appear in systems with the unidentified structure are we wrong in assuming that that is their base, and not merely the primary object of interest of the sleepers? Could it not be that the sleepers are in the systems with the unidentified structures simply because they too have not seen such a thing before? If I am wrong, and the unidentified structures really are their bases, what need do they have to study their own structures? |

Holy hell- the more we see, the more I realize that this theory is holding significantly more water than I ever thought it would.
When I first started playing EVE, I fell in love with the lore, poring over every bit of it and learning everything I could about the Jovians in particular! Now, after all this time of thinking that they were being phased out and ignored, THIS happens!
I can't even describe how excited I am for all of these happenings

Maybe they are no longer dying. They might solve their issues , and cleanse all not willing to change , or those who they could not help any more.
Recently in Stain people see new type of sansha citizens , maybe Sansha helped them out. |

For years everyone even I have said,
Bring back the Jove. Make them come into our space again and make it so they shoot us and stuff and we can shoot them.
Ok so
Star blows up wiping out any existence of Jove Tech in that area. Wormholes appear because of that and a new system is found that pretty much has no control. Huge Beacons appear which in fact are Jovian and they have been watching us since time began but because there home system was alpha'd the beacons cloaking devices are failing. Probably had a link with there home system which got popped.
Because there home system is now ours and the beacons are failing the Jove sent out new sleepers to identify our AI in how we are in modern times. Ship types Ship fits Tactics. weaknesses
Now they have what they need they can start adapting like the Jove do. Re-writing fits and rebuilding there ships to adjust to our weapons and defensive systems.
We all know that one of the Joves main tactics was infiltration and listening and watching to adapt to better than EvE has.
So basically we asked for it and now there coming.
However this time there not going to just sit there and laugh at us trying to blow there ships up.
This time there going to hit back 
EDIT: Whilst typing this I have had 5 coffee's bitten all my nails and in sheer excitement of what is coming

This time there going to hit back Twisted Jovias are like star trek Vulcans but It's possible that there are some renegades like Romulans. It seems like we are going to have jovians diaspora soon, their home systems are propably destroyed. They will share technology with us and we'll build stargates to new systems.

Possible, but i don't think they shared all their technology with us. You don't selling machine guns to the monkeys. As writen in prophecy: GÇ£the little brother makes the final sorrowful steps home; he is not welcomeGÇ¥ I think it's about Jovians not sleepers. Little brother as not so populous as we are. Why "he's" not welcome? Maybe because sleepers behaviour? What happened in Jove empire? Was it attack? Natural dissaster like EvE gate collapsing but on smaller scale? Something was imprisoned at not it's free? What will come with them?

Edit: I have not heard anyone from ccp actually refer to this baby as Jove and I really do not think it is. The Jove had better ship designs fitting to their stations. What if that is something entirely different...the Logo does not fit to any of the known Jove-organisations and why in the world would a artificial intelligence (Sleepers) need a Symbol on their vessels?

If I recall correctly, the description for this vessel describes it as an ancient ship design that has only very recently been put into service.
The leading theory is that this is a ship from the era when the Jove and Sleepers were one and the same, before the Jove disease and before the sleepers become a race of data entities.
It could be one of the following, or a combination of both;
---
- The Jovians have cured their disease, which means they have a larger populace than they do available modern ships, and have partnered with their long-lost relatives, the sleepers, to form fleets of Sleepers and very old Jovian tech.
- The Sleepers have 'woken up', but as with the above scenario, if they were to do so they do not have enough ships to be crewed by living, breathing bodies, and would have to resort to pulling up old hulls and designs to fit their army.
It's also worth pointing out the following;
The fact that the symbol is unlike anything Jovian or Sleeper that we have seen so far is actually a far more worrying idea than the alternative.
If it were just a brand new race then the fact that the symbol is new doesn't really mean anything. Of course it's new, we've never met them before.
But Jovians/Sleepers with a new symbol? That bodes ill. It represents that they have had a changing of either perspective, understanding or knowledge and have banded together under a new symbol to represent this. Considering it coincides with an invasion of K-Space, I'm fairly certain this isn't the ''Merry Christmas, Presents for all'' Jove Corp.
My last point would be this; To introduce an entirely new race at this point, after such a long, deliberate and drawn out mystery surrounding Jovians, Jovian Space being cut off, Sleepers, Anoikis and now Caroline's Star, would be incredibly unlikely. It's not impossible but it is most likely an evolution of known events and politics, not unknown ones. |

Well, interestingly, in my day we used to call Jovians by an entirely different name. Though, I suppose, they might find it rude now. You see they were simpler times, when a man earned what he had by the sweat of his brow. Jovians weren't terribly interested in those things. They had a different way of looking at the world. You could see it in their beady eyes, the way they'd size you up. Then, on occasion, they'd just sit down and whistle a tune.
Yes it was simpler times.

It looks a lot more Jovian in the game- this isn't my screenshot by the way- it looks MUCH more Geiger-esque 
And I'd be devastated if this ended up just becoming another "enemy" to fight- this is the Jovians- they're much more important than that- and I'm sure CCP feels the same way

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.
BTW, if we start seeing people who look Jovian but have black eyes, those are NOT Jovian. And the people "sleeping" in those containments (supposedly) have blue eyes (no pupils or cornea either). Templar One touches on this without direct mention.
Considering how things usually go around here, I don't think Jovians are coming to give out toys to all of the good girls and boys.
And the Empress, who is also "The Other" (See Empyrean Age) can make sleepers stand down at will. Basically her latest public comment amounts to "Hey you people have been committing genocide all these years".

Hmmm - further evidence that these are not Jovians.
The Jovians it was said were difficult to determine gender because of their genetic engineering but here we see more clear gender manifestation.
But this would support the notion that this is a return of another related race and considering the history of the ship as well, being ancient but put into service, these are the bodies of a race that might have been Jovian once.
The plot thickens

The "modern" one is in the short story "Theodicy" on the community website and in Templar One- they're relatively not-tall (Grious is ~5'11"), have extremely pale skin that looks and feels like wet glass, and have black veins going back from their eyes, which are pitch-black all around.
The "modern" image of the Jovians that appeared on-screen at Fanfest 2012 and in EVE: Source reflects that image completely.

The plot thickens
The Jovians had several empires, which covered several epochs of genetic modification. The Jovians we know now being the latest and possibly last iteration. These could be Jovians from an earlier epoch, and epoch which the current Jovians wished to separate themselves from. If that is the case then these are definitely Jovians, and they are definitely dangerous.

I'm intrigued about those Lux Kontos. My theory is that they are similar to our turrets, excepting they're held in place by magnetic and/or gravitic fields. Probably they're stored inside the vessel while not in use or warping, and go out and get in position when needed. About the weapons themselves, they probably are some kind of laser, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were particle beams or even electric arc projectors.
About the "sorrowful brother"... My theory is that due to the continuous attacks on their facilities, Sleepers want to come back to the Jove Empire. However, they're seen as desertors, or are looked at with jealous eyes (due to not suffering the Jove disease), or maybe their brethen are not longer there (Sansha invasions?)...
I also wonder if the whole capsuleer experiment did work as expected for the Jove. Did they predict we would try to be independent, and even attack the Sleepers? Are we their way of dealing with the Sleepers?
I really hope too the Jove finally come back and they're not simply another red cross to shoot at. Faction Warfare, standings... come to mind. I'd love to fight at their side, or help them defend themselves or migrate. And even better, be Jove. That means, Jove characters.

Komodo brings up an interesting point;
Lux Kontos are hovering above the hull of the BS, not directly connected to it.
Does this mean that All turrets can glide and fire from literally anywhere on the surface of the ship? Allowng for full, perfectly-angular return fire?
No turret would ever be redundant, no matter the firing trajectory. |

No turret would ever be redundant, no matter the firing trajectory. If that's the case, they don't need multiple stances of the same turret or launcher spred over the ship to cover all angles; instead, the turret moves along the hull to keep line of sight to the target. Gameplay-wise it doesn't seem like a big advantage, but it might be from an in-character point of view, as it requires less redundancy.
I wonder if they have other properties. Maybe they can be left behind, so that they start to work as sentry drones? That makes me wonder if they have their own internal power source (as sentries do) or they're fed by the ship via wireless electric power. |

So wait. The Sleepers and Jove were once the same race. Then they split apart and the Sleepers went digital while the Jove tried to overcome their disease. Now maybe the Sleepers un-digitized themselves and put their brains back into bodies, going to the Jove asking for help against the Capsuleers harvesting their people for implants and research.
But the jove wouldn't have any of it, resulting in Caroline's Star. The Sleepers are the little brothers to the Jove.
And now they are adrift in their new old spaceships and have a severe grudge both against the Jove and especially against the empires and their Capsuleers.
Edit: The Jove rejected the coming home of the Sleepers because they are (somewhat) responsible for the Other, which is screwing around in the Jove's carefully prepared Petri dish. So if the Sleepers are coming and screw even more around in it, the Jove may be some seriously pissed off about it.

Well there are 9 races in the game.
5 "modern" one, of which the Jove are listed. That would be Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar, and Amarr as we know, with their known bloodlines.
4 ancient races: Yan Jung, Sleepers, Takmahl, and Talocan
It's actually a little "new" to me that the sleepers are indeed considered a race because my impression was that their drones were little more than just old battle systems abandoned long ago after whoever activated them died from some disease. But the mentions on Templar One kind of set the record straight and only recently I noticed that Wiki lists sleepers as a race.
And we have not had much interaction with them.
So we either have the appearance of an ancient race, seeing that there's a possibility that they have been living in some kind of cryo, or the Jove are back.
Templar One implies (without giving much away) that the meddling with sleeper tech seriously messes things up for them and another ancient race, or "their enemies" (not very clear) brought some kind of holocaust to the sleepers. I would have to go through the book again. The book only makes mention of this in one chapter, and the presence of these evil ones is not directly seen, just felt by the Templars and mostly implied. Exactly who they are remains a mystery.
I recall in the IGS forum some speculation that the Talocan were the bad guys and they sleepers went into cryo to either get away from them (or some biological warfare they were using) or the Talocan fell to some disease that the Sleepers went into cryo to escape from.

I'm kind of lost on "The Other". The novels of course make it clear "who" the Other is only so far that we know what the Other is capable of and what it's doing (There's a lot here from the novels Empyrean Age and Templar One that I don't want to spoil for those who have not read it).
The appearance of the Other is also enigmatic, after a very very long cloning that took years instead of the instant that cloning usually works in when getting podded. The "who" is significant, evidently The Other does not have a body, and did some heinous stuff.
(Get the books, you scrubs, if you want to know more)
As far as I'm concerned The Other is kind of like New Eden's version of Q from STTNG but way more serious.

Another ideas would I will put forward. The unknown cloaked structures could possibly be the source of the drifter battleships. If they are an earlier Jovian design, the occupants may have been cryogenic suspension due to the progressive of the disease . This could have occurred during the first or second empires hence the difference in ships. |

That's a really good idea that I had never considered. If literally, right now, all the Jovians who will become Drifter pilots are waking up in those very cloaked structures.

This is what leads me to believe that the "many becoming one" part of the prophecy is the reuniting of the Jove and the Sleepers (and others?). I'm inclined to think that the "one becoming four" has to do with the Other inhabiting taking over several key figures, the Empress being one of the four.
But, that's the sixth event of the apocalypse, and we're still working on number four. Whatever that is, I think it's the thing being teased for Fan Fest.

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. This is what leads me to believe that the "many becoming one" part of the prophecy is the reuniting of the Jove and the Sleepers (and others?). I'm inclined to think that the "one becoming four" has to do with the Other inhabiting taking over several key figures, the Empress being one of the four. But, that's the sixth event of the apocalypse, and we're still working on number four. Whatever that is, I think it's the thing being teased for Fan Fest. 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)?
Dunno who the four would be. I assume Jove and sleepers (with sleepers being the "little brother"), but the other two I have no idea on. Same with the Other. I'm kind of assuming that Sansha has been taken over, and maybe the Sisters of Eve, but that's just pure speculation.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm halfway thinking the fourth person inhabited by the Other has something to do with the lost Thukker caravan.

It's either the Other or the Sleepers who are posing as Tukoss- personally, I believe it's the sleepers.
He's apparently trapped in Anoikis- and if the Jovian body parts are being collected, who's to say it couldn't be the Sleepers choosing to do what they can to reverse the Jovian Disease (which they created)? To come together against a common enemy, I believe that could be an option and a very effective tool to encourage cooperation.
While it may be possible that the Other is encouraging the collection instead, I see no reason for it to need specifically Jovian biomass- if it wanted a body, it could easily take it- and as it is, it already controls Jamyl.If it wanted a body, I'm quite certain it would have one by now 
(I've donated a couple of Ambassador Baniya's parts myself- that's how confident I am that it's the sleepers )

Is that the scientist who had some mysterious revelation during the big release of t2 items and went off into the wilderness after leaving a cryptic note about finding the truth? Because, if so, they sure have been playing the long game, haven't they? I always wondered what had happened to him and it's been so long I forgot about him. |

I remember hearing, many many years ago, that CCP's design for EVE's fictional story, given how much of the game is player-driven, was to have it literally unfold in real-time as the characters would have it. This means the story has always been planned to play out over the entire lifetime of the game.
Whereas normal games release expansions to tell a new story, CCP have aimed for the long game, as you said, and are telling one story in real time, so we feel the gravity of each moment as intensely as it is meant to be felt.
I don't know if that's still true but it IS what I remember hearing.

I went to Thera last night to find answers, but only found more questions. -not every planet was destroyed during cataclysm. There are few outer planets that survived it. -sisters were there when it happend. -sun is unstable. -in the center near the sun there are few destroyed structures (talocans and sleepers), unstable wormholes and rifts (propably lethal), some kind of gate mechanisms (talocan), talocan destroyer (either disabled or abandoned) -there are also remnants of Hel supercarrier, described as thukker tribe lost caravan ship. -awaken sleepers are sitting at all above -remnants of the station with samples from thera system.
For me it looks like "they" charged gates/wormhole generators by energy coming directly from star. Something went wrong.

Take a trusty cloaky scanning frigate. Use Eve Scout to get in. You can find updated connections on their website, and they'll happily scout out the other side of the hole for you. Once you're in, drop a safe spot (the system is massive so plenty of room to do that). Sight see to your hearts content, and you're on your own for getting out.

If there's permadeth, I'm certain it'd come in the form of sleepers. Jovians have clones, just as we do- but sleepers have one body, are raised within the construct, and would definitely be shoot-on-sight (always suspect).

I would speculate that the Jove structures become stations (notably these structures are static in their systems like stations) with mission agents but these "heretics" might be a new playable permadeath race.
I think CCP is hitting on a new kind of live event. Rather than like what they did for incursions, having those Sansha live events and then a release of "canned" content for incursions, they are releasing a little bit at a time and making it feel like an ongoing live event (as far as dealing with the unknown is concerned which was a good thing about live events) .
Nobody really knows.

As for the rest of the topic, I am very much wowed to see the Jovian Outposts also finally being revealed. I cannot wait to see where this is going story-wise and to find out what gameplay implications this has!

I've been going through the lore and the sightings in Thera. I personally think the cause of the wormhole appearances and recent explosion may be caused by he soe. I also would put forward that the talcon are not extinct after all they are a species which is always moving on. The recent detonation of a star near Jove space most likely caused the cloaking fields to fail or some uplink data stream for command. There is still another faction from the first empire other than the jovians and sleepers missing from current events, one rumoured to spy and control from behind the scenes the Enheduanni.
I can't explain away the difference in design from the eidolon and the new drifter ships. One the weapons in the drifter vessels are different from previous Jovian weapons and appear more advanced, however the ships design is radically different to all current Jovian design philosophy's. So I would lead on to that thought with multiple factions of jovians either post collapse since the nova near Jove space, and older cryogenicicslly suspended faction from an earlier time or the ships may be the product of Jovian talcon and sleeper technology. This idea stems from the name drifter battleship something contract to current naming of Jovian ships. But more keeping with talcon ideology of being nomadic travellers. Also note the drifter battleship was sifted near what appeared to be a wormhole under construction.
On a final note the new logo on now.eve features three vertical lines united within and inner emblem possibly signifying an alliance or reunification of separate groups.
Any further ideas or speculation welcome |

Ok, so it would be hilarious if the rumor about using polarized weapons on the Drifter battleships are true (lower your own resistances to 0 in order to inflict max damage on the Drifter). Resistance wouldn't just be futile, it would be detrimental.

Something that's just occurred to me;
It might just be a remnant of design, something to be ignored, but why are the sleepers/Drifters scanning these outposts?
I'm just thinking out loud for the most part, but It's only really just occurred to me that these outposts aren't necessarily the staging areas for Sleepers and Drifters, but the objective.
I wonder if there are resources, tech or personnel that they want from within the structures and they have been scanning everything else to determine if any of those things have been salvaged, raided or removed by other entities and taken elsewhere in space.
Woe betide anyone they find to have stolen from them.
Also as a small aside; Lux Kontos using your resistances against you reminds me a little bit, though not completely, of the Terran Superweapon that the Empress used at one point.

If they're tied to Thera and the shattered holes, I'm guessing they're the other side of the violent wormholes in the epicenters.

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 as well, 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. |

The Lux Kontos weapons look incredibly dangerous. To see how much wash they create and how much they distort space as they fire. Incredible technology.

We have to remember though that, as impressive as it is still, this is an ancient battleship design. The standards of the drifter ship are going to be nowhere near on par with the modern Jovian Eidolon.

Actually that's a point. What the f*** are CONCORD going to do about this? And more to the point, how are CCP gonna explain that Stratioses have killed Drifter battleships, which are supposedly Jove tech, but CONCORD battleships which are empire-built with partial Jove tech are utterly untouchable and godlike? |

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.

And more to the point, how are CCP gonna explain that Stratioses have killed Drifter battleships, which are supposedly Jove tech, but CONCORD battleships which are empire-built with partial Jove tech are utterly untouchable and godlike? I see a few ways.
- One, It's not actually "Jove".. They could be using human capsulears with so (SOC?) in ships the Jove make for them to do their dirty work. Not making them too advanced as to not be a threat against them.
- Two, it's like the lore for the Empire Navies. We fight them in missions and FW, but they aren't really considered front line forces. The Lore wise, the Empires Navies can take on Concord.. technically they are supposed to be more powerful that Concord, this was to ensure that Concord could never take over. So you just break things up into the low end forces with second rate equipment faces us, front line forces deal with other matters.. Like the theoretical battles against the Sansha over planets wile we hit Sansha staging areas.
- Three, these are Jove, but not Current Jove. They are from earlier in the Jove Evolution. Perhaps from and outright earlier age, perhaps from when the Jove migrated to their current space, etc. Having not experienced all of current history, and perhaps not even affected by the Jove Disease (or not as progressed) they might be more willing to work With the Sleepers against a common enemy.
- Similar fashion, these are older Jove ships and Stations, and have been discovered by the Sleepers.. having nothing to do with the Current Jove at all. Same way I have a Nightmare, doesn't make me a Sansha Drone :p
Personally, I like 1 cause that means we might get to fly them, but not have them OP.. ( All 4 Racial BS's required maybe? lol). |

It was speaking in a language that Vince had never been taught; the same one that Templar Six had spoken. He could see its written alphabet - undecipherable glyphs and symbols - and yet their meaning was perfectly clear to him. They are destroying our home. Why would anyone want to harm us? Vince briefly saw a spectacular city hovering over a vast oceans; then it was ablaze and crumbling into the sea. I helped build this. The ones I love are still there. We achieved harmony. The Other warned they would take it away from us. He was right.

The reason it doesnt look good t o your eyes is one, the compression from eve screenshot and from imgur is terribad. 2, eve has horrible jaggies even on max, and finally, that when the blue shield is up it has an effect of a large extended shield around the ship. |

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.

The Lore wise, the Empires Navies can take on Concord.. technically they are supposed to be more powerful that Concord, this was to ensure that Concord could never take over. So you just break things up into the low end forces with second rate equipment faces us, front line forces deal with other matters.. Like the theoretical battles against the Sansha over planets wile we hit Sansha staging areas.
I hate this particular Lore cop-out. It means that either the battle over Caldari Prime to shoot down that titan was just a fun little show put on by the empires in order to keep capsuleers entertained, that FW is really just a kindergarten group and that we have little to no chance of "taking over from the empires" when the time comes, as CCP seems to be suggesting. Urgh. |

That makes the assumption that the battleships and the outposts are part of the same faction of the Jove.

Urgh.
The Battle of Luminare wasn't just capsuleers. There were both factions navies there. The Lore was the reason before why we never could damage the Titan originally. It could be argued that the Navy Dreads were the ones to take the Titan Down, and we were all just dealing with more mid-range faction navies that were sent there without committing the main force.
I mean lets be realistic, if either side was willing to commit their main forces, there would have been hundreds of Titans there, thousands of Carriers and Dreads.. Instead there was a dozen of the latter two, and just the lone Titan.
Also, remember during the Event the Cal Navy blapped a Concord BS, which is what lead to Concord pulling out and leaving the system.
In the end, personally, I don't mind that copout.. I mean CCP hasn't said the Empires are gonna fall. People took the line "The Empires are losing control" and extrapolated that. It could easily just mean that as more and more space is added, more space is under control of Players.. POCO's are players. Player Outposts now are better for manufacturing, etc. That's a loss of control without outright war. Also, Empires are never gonna fall, because that's where the carebears live, and CCP isn't just gonna give a boot to half their subscriber base. So if CCP wants to have a few lore Copouts to keep the Empires more powerful, I'm fine with that. It's a necessary evil in keeping the game from going to hell. |

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?

They're interested in them the same way the Sleepers are. A couple of folks have suggested that the Drifters are Talocan and I tend to agree with that idea.
Here's how I see it: Something wonked up royally in Jove space, resulting Caroline's Star. Whatever that was, it broke something about the unidentified structures, causing them to become visible. This attracts the attention of the Sleepers, who begin sending drones into kspace to see if they can glean any info on what has gone wrong (mainly because it also wrecked Thera and the shattered holes and, well, they kinda live there). Attracted by the new Sleeper activities, the Drifters try to break in to the Sleeper's data systems in kspace (hence why all the Sleeper Caches are partially damaged and "ransacked). And then the structures decloak fully. Behold, the.....the um....(let's see here...Sleepers.....Drifters.......????ers?....."they are listening to you"....ah, I got it!) The Listeners! .....who are also trying to figure out what the hell happened in Jove space that screwed up their stations all the way out here. They're decloaking them fully now to put a feeler out to the Sleepers and Drifters to see what relations might be like between the three groups.
Full disclosure: I expect none of that to be true.

Exactly. Isn't one of the upcoming additions, that we're not talking about much here, is those massive structures that are maintaining Wormholes that we cannot interact with? Seems like that technology is also being brought to bare at the moment. |

I was pouring over old news stories when I came across this interesting tidbit: http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/intaki-spiritual-leader-announces-marriage/
Note the name of Vika Kuvakei. Her background and ancestry match that of Sansha Kuvakei, leader of Sansha's Nation. Since the nation has been linked to w-space, I thought I would throw this out there.
There is also this thing: http://forum.battleclinic.com/index.php?topic=5378.0;wap
The original news dispatch seems to have been lost. Fortunately, it seems to have been saved to back-up at battle-clinic.
Also found this: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=330427
Seems she was involved in implant research. As one person says, not terribly surprising.
edit: oh, look. More. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=76943 I'll keep digging tonight.

The quote on the Drifter logo at now.eveonline.com says "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." This is quote from Einstein' s "Geometry and Experience". It is a papper that deals in hyper-eucledian mathematics and spatial manipulation.
Does that sound familiar ? It should. According to in-game description The Talocan were masters of spatial maniulation and hyper-eucledian mathematics.
We don't know much about the Talocan but what if they were also Jove in origin like the Sleepers ? Maybe the Talocan were in fact a splinter faction within the Sleeper themselves. After all fro what knowledge we are able to gather from them, at some point they have coexisted. They may be the fabled "little brother" - possibly they are/were the least numerous or the "newest" splinter within the Jove.
Somehow all of these recent events point to a rather interesting chain of events that involve the (true) Jove, The Sleepers and The Talocan and Sansha.

One thing I always liked about Eve is that if you are into sci fi, you can track influence from everywhere.
So I wonder if The Other is a concept drawn from The Mad Mind and Vanamonde of "City and the Stars", an Arthur C. Clark novel I read back in 1989, a college course in Science Fiction. (the only class I ever took that did not require 2 gallons of coffee to get half motivated for)

I engaged two of them with my stratios like i did a few days ago, and it was alpha'd off the field in 3 hits doing about 3-7k damage each. And from what i heard from others after you deplete their blue shields they fire a super weapon that does immense damage.

As I have no SISI access, could you please do your best to confirm some damage numbers and whether or not they really DO have a superweapon-esque attack once you deplete their shields?
These things sound monstrously strong, to the point that my corp mates just aren't believing the stated damage outputs of these Drifters.
So much excitement right now, but perhaps interestingly enough, this question now holds the most intrigue for me;

Unless we have yet to confirm whether or not their extreme damage comes from some kind of resistance-inverting mechanic.

You mean this might be the same weapon that Jamyl Sarum used? Maybe the one that makes your own shields implode on the ship?
Anybody got video of a ship getting the smackdown from this weapon?

Guys guys I have a plan.
Take the blue shields down to like 1 point and then warp out but leave one guy behind in a rookie ship to take out that last point. After it uses the weapon, get back on grid.
I'm really good at this.

My best guess so far is that the blue shield absorbs and collects damage to charge these new doomsday lazors from hell. Which would explain why they are only used upon shield depletion.

Suddenly, the Battle of Vak'Atioth is relevant again.
Also, the Lux weapon shares similarities with the Concord Killbeam, that one also comes with a cooldown & is capable of oneshotting stuff (to a much greater degree) The killbeam is after all Jove tech (ingame lore explanation for the Concord superweapon) Wonderfully demonstrated roughly 2 years ago by a bunch of players: Capsuleers fail to gank Concord
So the Jove are returning, but they're not the Jove we know, considering their difference in design. Might be CCP preparing to allow capitals in highsec? been talked about, but CCP needs a reason to allow it. A Jove attack would be a good enough reason I think?

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.

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.

Because I have never seen or heard of multiple drifter battleships appearing together. They appear alone in systems with both an unidentified structure and an unidentified wormhole, and warp between them independently of the seeker drones.

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.

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.

if it does then the superweapon has really high tracking. Can't remember what my transversal was but my tengu was going at over 700ms with an afterburner and max skilled links from a claymore and it still got blapped by the super weapon. |

So the Drifter faction finally has a description :
"Emerging from the ruins of the Sleeper civilization spread throughout Anoikis - otherwise known as "W-space"- the Drifters represent a tremendous challenge and perhaps a dire threat to the empires and capsuleers alike. Seemingly the inheritors of a legacy left behind by some of the most ancient Jove, the Drifters are unafraid to wield tremendous power in response to any who get in their way. In this regard, the Drifters are a very different conundrum than the relatively benign presence that was the Jove Empire."
Also their member corp - Vigilant Tyrannos (which seems to be their militant wing ) :
"CONCORD intelligence reports indicate that Drifter military formations are operating under a single command structure represented by an enclave level organization with the designation "Vigilant Tyrannos". Despite monitoring the movements of ships broadcasting the identifier of this organization, no further information as to the motivation or goals of this force has been gleaned."
So they are the the remnants of the Sleepers?...hmm... Also their home station is in M-MD3B , deep within the Great Wildlands, Thukker Tribe territory...

So if how I'm reading that is right.. these aren't actually sleepers, but rather another Jove Faction that's re-emerged, perhaps to work with the sleepers.. Sounds fun..
Now that they have a station, give them agents, and an LP store, and Drifter BS + Weapon BPC's :D |

I think the point is more around "oh look, more grind min/maxer content".
It's still a little disappointing that there are no live events to "herald" this new content which in the scope of things is actually quite epic. This is being introduced in a rather hum drum way. Imagine for example we moved the Superbowl to December 25th and on the 23rd an alien race comes to earth and it's not even covered much on the news. And then... the alien race's biggest import is simply more aliens and all we get is another "press number for language" recording on the phone when calling services and maybe a new restaurant style for the trendies to spend their trust fund money at.
In other words, a buzz kill.
On the other hand, the Sansha live events left too much expectation. All of that player involvement built around the live events fell over in a heap the day the incursions became "just more content to grind for ISK on". So may CCP is not playing it up because they know the RP/Lore crowd is going to discover that the whiskey was watered down again. (I don't think it's their fault: a video game has limitations on what it can deliver no matter what you do).
If this is simply "more content", by bittervet gland tells me that yeah, more grind, more min-maxers complaining that they "did it all" 2 weeks later and are bored, more watching Drifter BSs in the hands of players as they..... do combat sites in highsec (exactly what you will see Guristas ships doing) because they are flying a gank magnet and outside of highsec, entire gate camps full of them for the insta blap (as usual).
At least the storyline and lore is good. As for what goes on in the game all boiling down to "muh ISK/stats" and aspergian min-maxing. then meh. I'm hoping there is a new novel like a followup to Templar One more so than what this new content means to me. The book I'll enjoy more.

For me, the min/maxing thing has NEVER been something I've taken much part in. I've always done what I wanted in EVE for the fun of it and nothing more.
I will still go and see these battleships and I will still want to have a crack at them myself, for fun's sake. I'm hoping that the next few expansions in the coming months continue THIS as their path to new content and stories, though, as the EVE lore is amazing. |

m8, Thukker LP store sucks ass. Worst in game. Teh only thing worth getting there are Mid-Grade Nomad implants, and you can get those from hisec LP stores anyway.
Everyone is welcome to come visit all of the GWL stations. They are located in N-DQ2D, M-M, and E02, just a few jumps into the region. Rest of the region is a waste-land.

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.

Yea, you guys are right.
I jumped directly on "new faction, 2 weeks of pew pew and stuff then everything back to normal".
Like Allant Doran said, I also hope for more Lore/Storyline through next months from this.
And Herzog Wolfhammer summed up perfectly what probably most of us dont want to happen.
Anyway from the begining with new Star, now Unidentified Structures,Wormholes and Seekers/Drifters this cant end
with a meh content There has to be more to this, something very good because EVE lore is epic.
Someone asked if there is anything interesting in that system where they have the headquarters on SISI.
I went there as soon as I saw it mentioned on forums, no Unidentified Structures/Wormholes or anything unusuall yet. |

If I recall right, from a player named Arcdragon from years ago (2009 - 2010) sleeper sites in WH space would spawn "per the threat" meaning if you land on a site with a dread you'll get way more than if you showed up in a cruiser or BC. Of course the class of WH also meant something in this equation.
I don't know if that mechanic ever changed or if that was entirely true, nor the "math" of it at this point. But it would be good for the AI if reinforcements were based on threat level. It would certainly prevent farming them.
I wonder how many the goons can spawn if they had a whole fleet pick a fight?

My experience with Wormholes is that you can escalate WH sites. They will have x - number sleepers, which you can defeat to win the site after a couple waves.
However, bringing in Capitals, up to 4 caps in our case, generates additional large spawns. The site is only compelte after we have our fleet + 2 Carriers and 2 Dreads on field.
The same might be the case for Drifters.

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.

Couple of other things if anyone can help aswell.
With regards to the Drifters and sleepers chasing people around will they also do this through acceleration gates?. I would like to know if these things did chase people around we could actually drag them into a Sansha spawn.
With the drifter breaking locks was this only 1 ewar or more at the time of the lock break?.

If you got nVidia gfx card, use ShadowPlay. Really good capturing with mp4 encoding. I think ATI got the same kind of capturing software, but may be still in 'beta' mode, not sure. |

In relation to a comment earlier in the post about Carolines star looking like an eye when I was in Tierjev yesterday I looked at the star and I must be going mad but if you look at it the cloud base around the nebula is a head and a body with boobs.
Please note no drink or drugs were involved.
i must admit after playing EvE since beta (on other chars) I am applauding the story line behind this. Theirs so much speculation about the destruction of Jove space. The so called listening stations popping up all over new Eden. The Drifter BS.
The Dev's who actually sat down and started all this with the design of the listening outpost's, the death of the star and everything that is coming deserve a goddam medal of some sort.
And to keep it all quiet is just insane.

Speculation: Drifters are Sleepers that too Jove DNA to recreate clone bodies, which they then cybernetically adapted to allow control by a personality shard move out of their collective, effectively creating a mobile chassis for individual Sleepers. They used Jove DNA because it has been most adapted to use with cybernetic implants.

Jovian's are actually described as looking a lot like this.. With lots of implants.. In game most Jove looked worse lol.. only without the implants.. And these are Jove, that's been confirmed.
If anything, vs what the Jove look like now, these seem a few generations removed.. not as bad off..
As for what Drifter means.. it can also mean someone without a home.. Out trying to find themselves by just going from place to place. |

Jovians, post-incarna. They're described like this in Theodicy and Templar One, and this image appears in EVE Source
They look near-identical to the drifters and even have the same outfit- the only difference is the cybernetic implants, which leads me to believe that they are indeed awakened Architect infomorphs

I agree, once I saw them bringing in a sleeper vessel from a small wormhole which two formed I reached the same conclusion. They were the same race after all and had the same augmentations and modifications to allow an additional implant. |

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. If I recall right, from a player named Arcdragon from years ago (2009 - 2010) sleeper sites in WH space would spawn "per the threat" meaning if you land on a site with a dread you'll get way more than if you showed up in a cruiser or BC. Of course the class of WH also meant something in this equation. I don't know if that mechanic ever changed or if that was entirely true, nor the "math" of it at this point. But it would be good for the AI if reinforcements were based on threat level. It would certainly prevent farming them. I wonder how many the goons can spawn if they had a whole fleet pick a fight?
You're talking about capital escalations. Warp a cap into a w-space site and, yes, there is a chance of the sleepers escalating the site. W-space residents can give you more accurate data than I can.

All this reminds me of what Sansha Kuvakei said when he first reappeared in the cluster, namely that 'We are the heirs to a mistake' and that he wanted to correct it.
Perhaps he means that pour capsule tech is the 'mistake' ? After all, the quote in EvE Now does say 'all the mistake you are making, we already made'
Don't forget, the first Sansha's Nation is the only nation that faced the full wrath of the 5 empires, under the push of the Jove. I suspect it wasn't only because of the True Slaves, because of two reasons: -Amarr got slaves & Jove don't care about it. Also Amarr attacked Jove & while they did face the results (initial fleet wiped & minmatar rebellion instigated by Jove/Feds) Jove were content with leaving the Amarr alone after that, showing that the Jove supporting the Minmatar rebellion wasn't out of a goal to remove slavery, but more of an opportunity, to keep amarr busy so they no longer have the willpower to attack the Jove again. -Caldari (Ishukone among them! A favorite of the Jove!) built mind control chips and the Jove never cared one iota about it.
From this I suspect that Sansha's Nation discovered something regarding capsuleer tech about a hundred years ago & the Jove wanted it silenced or destroyed. After all, Nation was doing research into capsuleer tech & made some breakthroughs Considering Sansha is also present in at least two shattered wormholes I believe that Sansha's Nation will have something to add to all of this before it's all over.

Okay guys, looking at EVE Source, I now retract my idea that these "Vigilant Tyrannos" are Sleeper.
Miko Bour, the founder of the second empire, was the "First Tyrant of the Second Empire", and was a member of a "now-extinct" political faction (maybe not so extinct). Him and those after him were referred to as "Tyrants".
Sounds quite a lot like Tyrannos, no?

Thinking of balance and Yin Yang, the struggle between Individuality and Collectivity is one of the two themes we face with some frequency, and in different shades.
Capsuleers are the paramount of individuality, we come and go as we please, we wreck havoc to millions and the universe is shaped for better or worst depending simply on our mood.
On the other side, the Jove have manipulated their each uniqueness so much that they became detached from any other thing and wither alone even in groups.
Sleepers are a harmonic collective that live in a utopian world where there is no need for an individualistic manifestation and everyone is cool with their connectivity detached from the "real" world.
The Sansha are a collective created out of force and control, you have an individual pulling the strings and sharing the mind of millions and calling it enlightenment.
What if some of the Jove and some of the Sleepers decided to embrace a little bit of each others characteristics, out of necessity and adaptability to survive, and trough Sansha tech (probably stolen, wormholes with their presence show they got slaughtered by something or someone) they now we have highly augmented individual manifestations of a collective purpose? After all, the Jove were dying of depression and the Sleepers well.... we ARE committing genocide against them and their guards.
The capsuleer tech is based on the scanning of our brains at the moment of death, and uploading it to a new clone. There are several ways of bad thing happening in this process, such as what happened to Fatal of the Guristas or failing to activate a clone altogether.
It-¦s like a download from a single server to another server.
What if the Drifters are using a highly sophisticated P2P process where the physical bodies are not the servers, but simply a terminal where the manifestation of the conscience that is safely guarded on the collective and ready to present itself in any other body the moment they wish so?
This seems highly adaptable, and makes the best of both worlds (individual and collective) available to them.
And yet, there-¦s still the question of what do they want to do with it..... |

And yet, there-¦s still the question of what do they want to do with it..... That reminds me a lot of DUST clone mercenaries.
Their "mind" is stored in a database and then transfered on a clone. If the clone dies, the brain state is transfered to the database, with the new experiences acting like an "file update". In fact, if they are left behind on a planet too far away of the database (outside its transmission range), they're pretty much going to lose years of their life, because their clones can't live more than 5 years (if I recall correctly), and when they die, the new experiences are not going to be added to the database. In fact, sometimes weirder things can happen like having 2 clones of the same person with the same mind inside them, yet be separate persons.
Can't help but wonder how does that "lifestyle" feel like. And of course, if said technology was somehow taken from the Jove, Sleepers or Drifters... And we're yet to see what is going on with the Valkyries. |

Well I'm pretty certain Bour would be dead by now- but this group would have been his. The Tyrants United the Jovians once before- who's to say they wouldn't again?
Of course, this is all speculation- but I'm absolutely certain that the Tyrants have something to do here.
And sleepers are definitely involved in a huge way- they started this whole thing- and they're still Jovian too :)

Earlier last year a NPC (CCP actor) by the name of Hilen Tukoss, former founder of the Arek'jaalan project and Site One in Eram, suddenly reappeared and began posting on IGS asking the players to donate Jovian body parts for his new project. He did it in a rather weird way though and his posts were mixed with hexadecimal garbage, so most RPers decided that Tukoss fell victim to some sort of AI and that thing is now controlling him and tries to collect Jovian DNA.
Utlimately, the toaster-Tukoss got his hands on a set of Jovian remains and went silent again.
Now, the Drifters appear.
Let's not forget that the "true" Jovians of the Directorate have their aggression curbed at the genetic level, pilots of the Jovian Navy (if such a thing even exists) being the only exceptions. Thus, the Drifters are not members of the Jovian civilization proper.
tl:dr
Drifters are cloned from the Jovian DNA collected from players via event, but they are not Jovians. They are tools controlled by either the Sleepers or the Other, personally I think it's the Other.
Fun times ahead. |

I wonder if the Drifters are cloned bodies made for the purpose of replacing the actual sleepers lost bodies? You know, those bodies from which we how shall I say, harvested, some interesting tech? (re:Templar One)
Or perhaps they are simply "eyes" for The Other? Can he move his consciousness around from one body to another? Could there be more than one "Other"?

Fun times ahead. Why would The Other need us to collect samples of Jove DNA? It has actual Jove in sleeping capsules.. That would be my biggest hole in the theory.. Now if it was some other groups.. Rogue Drones? Sansha? They would likely need the samples. Not that I think that's what happened.
I don't the drifters are cloned. I think they are awakened. Perhaps originally Sleepers, but more likely I feel from before that time. Possibly from a previous Jove Empire, that have either decided to return, or were poked by something and are waking up and saying WTF. The Jove stations that are decloaking might be from their time, or more modern, hence their interest in it (and sleeper interest too). Also might explain how they ignore us (not considered a threat) but ill tempered if engaged.
Would be nice for them to decide to carve out their own area of Null..and I don't mean just normal NPC Null, but one they will actively defend.. |

I'm positive it isn't the other collecting the parts- and if you're saying a previous empire, that fits perfectly with the idea of the Tyrants (the leaders of the second empire) making their return- "Viligant Tyrannos" can mean "awakened tyrants".

Unlikely most likely the perma death will come with a form of trial account with caps or a non capsule based pilot. Sleepers/Jovians all have the same upload tech. |

Not really commonplace, then again, most NPC's that got a custom made pic were from before the full body implementation (Jacus Roden, Sansha Kuvakei etc)
In this particular case, I suspect the full body modification is to show how different the Jove are to us, almost an entirely alien race, despite our common ancestry as humans. And through it, Jove have motivations that are alien to us, something I hint at in my Jove article: 'Shrouded in mystery, the Jovian race' Note this is about the Jove of the Jovian Directorate, not these returning Jove, whom I suspect are something else entirely!
The Republic strikes back!
The Arcology Convoy is an overwhelming success!

Additionally, you mention a rumour that the Jovians were building a superweapon of their own... could that be what has caused the Caroline's Star incident? A Jovian Superweapon used to detonate Sansha? :P
Wel the whole Caroline Star is still an enigma wrapped in mystery. Outside 'hey it happened & This star shouldn't be able to go supernova!' we know little.
Jove are suspect because of this old chronicle 'The Armageddon Project' indicating the Jove might have access to a weapon that can shatter a planet, or more...
Also 'Drifter' is also a background selection option for Minmatar players that went for the Vherokior Bloodline:
Drifters
Drawing inspiration from their nomadic ancestry, wanderlust runs strong with many Vherokiors. While many curb their thirst for adventure, there are those who simply cannot settle down in one place for long. Never at rest, they will always be lured by the horizon, as there are places to see and riches to be discovered
Above is the description given to the Vherokior Drifters, could help in pinpointing what CCP means with these new 'Jovian Drifters'
The Republic strikes back!
The Arcology Convoy is an overwhelming success!

i do often trips from Outer region null to highsec with interceptor and usually do 40-50 jumps every time. Ive tried different routes up and Down and counted every system With uindentified structurs... and there is about 1 for evey 4 system. And it also seems when i check map and info, the structurs are placed in system With very little Activity, which strengthens the theory about Jove gonnaa clean up or out sov. in systems that aint in use. Further... ive not yet found such structurs in systems in null that have an Activ population.
So in my opinion, i still belive its CCP's plan to clean up the unused systems in null, which can give other the chance to claim sov. |

I used to go to those clubs and they were as much fun as you think :D
As for SoE I never trusted them after running one of their missions. I'm hoping I can turn in the sleeper stuff I've gotten from the caches and work with the drifters against the Amarr (and Other) and the corps. I'll protect the people of the Empires but the corps and the Empires themselves? I'm not so sure anymore... |

By the size of them I dont think so. And do they actually need it. A drifter BS can alpha a ship easily. By the size of these things there more like planet killers or one big bomb to detonate a system or 2.

The Jove have returned and they have such sights to show us....
Really wondering where all this is going to lead towards! Especially curious about those unidentified wormholes, a way to access Jove space if we can crack them open for our use?

Something has changed in the sleeper caches seemingly. I found a Standard Cache yesterday and along with the usual Hyperfluct gate there were two rifts open, both rifts took me to the site without need to hack the gate. On entry there was a large amount of toxic substances already scattered around the site making it much more difficult to navigate.
I'm not sure why this was, or whether someone less prepared had stumbled into the site and triggered the extermination units through failing hacks. I failed none on the cans I could reach so couldn't say as none of the usual cans were missing. The riift to the hidden region was already cracked open too.
It seems if it wasn't a capsuleer that triggered this event then whatever passed through to cause these sites damage in the first place has made a second pass. Either that or the Drifters are not taking too kindly to our curiosity. |

Why increase the sig radius of something that can't take damages? Can you probe it down? What would be the point since you have the beacon allowing you to warp to it already.
My bet is that this structure will eventually turn hostile and we will have the possibility to fight it.

My alt ran a Limited Sleeper Cache yesterday. It was my first ever one, so I didn't pay much attention, but since you brought this up i'll add my 2 pence;
The cache looked like it had already been attempted, but in a really minor way that I just don't see a Capsuleer doing. The first rift was already open, there was a lot of damaging AoE effects and one of the loot containers was already emptied, but that was it. The entire rest of the site was untouched and still very profitable.
As I said, no idea if this is interesting knowledge, I'm not familiar enough with the sites to know, but there's my little story! |

it is probable that someone attempted it already. Possibly they didn't have sufficient hacking skills and/or they were using a ship that is not very resistant so the AoE damage scared them off. I encountered a lot of these even before Tiamat.

The lower tier Sleeper Caches can be done in an Astero (from personal experience). Manual navigation advised. The big one requires some beef plus a way to deal with the sentries. Ssome - if not all - can be disabled by hacking certain structures, but in case you fail you should be prepared to either gtfo or fight/tank them. Stratios or Nestor recommended (although flying those in Null is like having a huge bullseye painted on your back - in the case of Nestor it's probably more akin to a deathwish).

I'm currently using a very low-skilled Astero but it has been enough to scan down hi-sec, limited sleeper sites, which are generally easy enough. The Stratios is my favourite ship in the game, so I intend to have my alt get Mastery V in it eventually.
I wish I could justify/risk the Nestor more too but it's just an expensive hull that offers no benefit worth it's cost.
Especially, to bring this back on-topic, with the increase in interest (for me anyway) in the Drifters/Sleepers. More and more content seems to be relevant to what's coming from beyond K-Space but I've seen nothing yet that justifies the 1.X Billion Isk on a Nestor hull alone. |

That sounds very much like someone had already tried and failed the site and yes an astero is fine for the limited caches.
I raised my findings with regards to the Standard cache as there were 2 rifts leading into the site whilst the Hyperfluct gate was still unhacked. Someone or somethinghad already hit this site and not in the way I had 'investigated' them previously.
I hope those drifters haven't been keeping score :D |

Basically, just conversational about the encounter. "Found a drifter in a novice. Did you engage it? No. Holy ****! etc..."
Curious that it A: went into a site of any kind. B: shot the pilot without provocation. Makes me wonder if perhaps the pilot had previously engaged a drifter elsewhere. Maybe they shoot based on standings.

The guy confirm that he has drones in passive mode, and didn't have Drifters on overview (to avoid attacking them by misclicking). He warp on novice, enter the plex, engage the Caldari NPC and ... Die.
He only understand what happen while looking at the km :

As noted above, if these drifters remain this aggressive in sites & remain capable of warping into sites we can't with our battleships, alot of people are gonna lose ships!
It is noted that the Drifters seem to have a weakness to ECM, one that seems to go further then just being unable to target you. When a Drifter is flooded with ECM, he seems to just turn idle & sit there, not fighting back even when the ECM drops off. Guess their cybernetic bodies get fried by our ECM, they weren't ready for it! (I suspect it'll get patched out/fixed at some point tho)

Currently the relation isn't fully understood. Seekers are the little circadian Seeker drones scanning everyone and being friendly, until you start shooting them. No idea if they are manned and if their allegiance is Sleepers or Drifters.
The Drifters are the guys who recently appeared in big bad battleships, equipped with weapons that grind to dust any unprepared ship (including capitals) While they won't attack on sight, they are alot touchier then the Seekers. Approach their unidentified wormhole sites or the Uncloaked Pillars (the Jove stations) too close and they get mighty itchy with their trigger finger. The Drifter ships are also manned by the cybernetic Jove (Drifters? Sleepers? Enheduanni?) who are part of a faction called 'Vigilant Tyrannos' who seem to be heirs or descendants of the Second Jove Empire, a period that was a golden age for the Jove, where their technology was beyond what we have today (including the Jove Directorate we know)
Also, CCP Paradox reveals the destruction numbers of the first day involving drifters: 217 capsuleer ships destroyed by the Drifters, versus 43 Drifter battleships destroyed by capsuleers

Here, you wanna go crazy-go-nuts with this, imagine: The Amarr and Minmatar have shown the least distress over the appearance of the Drifters....so......somewhere in this storyline, an event will cause the Minmatar and Amarr to join forces on behalf of the Drifters/Seekers, while the Caldari and Gallente are forced to either team up or be destroyed, thus redrawing the warzones in faction warfare. Now that would be a fun twist.

I'm starting to think that these 'drifters'/'Vigilant Tyrannos' aren't actually Jove, but trying to make us THINK they're jove. Somebody, either sleepers or these guys, stole a whole bunch of jove bits through identity theft. And all the drifter pilots are virtually identical as far as we can tell. So... why do you need a bunch of exploded cloned jove bits, and then suddenly show up in heavily cybernetic bodies?
This is completely precluding the whole 'Minmitar would only work with the Amarr willingly if the literal apocalypse (not the battleship) was at hand and the only chance to survive was to join forces. The whole 'slavery' bit is still a bit of a sticking point. |

Here's the resist info I calculated, for anyone interested.
Overshield/Shield:
EM: 50% Thermal: 20% Kinetic: 50% Explosive: 50%
Armor: EM: 10% Thermal: 50% Kinetic: 50% Explosive: 50%
Structure is 0%.
Since Armor is its toughest pure HP defense, you will want to shoot EM. |

What I find crazy-nuts is that CONCORD has a Jovian bat-phone. They even presumably have a Jovian representative in the Inner Circle (however we know they have not been in contact for a long time - since the Sansha incursion in Jove space if I'm not mistaking). So have they tried contacting him (in the light of recent events) ? And if they did, have the Jove replied ? And if they replied - what was their response?
I find it hard to believe that the minute advanced Jove tech starts shooting things in Empire space, not to mention Jove stations uncloaking in our backyard, CONCORD is not overheating the Jovian bat-phone.
If all CONCORD got was "Your message was seen on [insert stellar date here]" - things don't sound so good.

Gal/Cal have occasional skirmishes, but as a general rule they don't go looking for fights. (Luminiare was more an opportunity that couldn't be passed up, than a resurgence of war.. hence why nothing really happened after it.) Hell it's not the first time a major event happened between these two powers that could have lead to full scale war but both sites declined.. Kamikaze Nyx anyone? Caldari Prime also is a rather special case in relations, being the Caldari Homeworld, and in Gal space..
As a Gal, I personally would rather be working with the Caldari, than the Minmatar. Despite history, both sides are cultural.. compatable? They were together for a long time, so they already understand eachother. Neither side has shown any interest in a major war, expansion, etc. Both have stable Gov't, strong economies. And while I feel for the Minmatar, they do sometimes act like spoiled brats. What really irked me with them was right after Caldari Prime, the Minm sent a fleet into Gal space to try and retrieve a Prisoner. Now they got beat down, hard, but if this is what we can expect from our Allies, then I'd rather be with the Caldari, where they are less emotional and more, looking at the bottom line, so to speak.
Lastly, the Alliance between the Amarr and Caldari isn't one based on culture, shared ideals, etc. For the Caldari, it's about business, for the Amarr it's a buffer against the Gal.
Not to mention the fact that on a socio-economic way, the Caldari-Galtente are likely the two most closely tied empires. Right down to joint businesses.. I don't think you'll find any Amarr-Minmatar co-op's.
It is also worth reminding everyone that all empires HAVE worked together before, as a unified force. It's how the Sansha were originally defeated. They are more than able to do it if they feel it's in their benefit (or no other choice).
Personally.. I think Gal-Caldari getting closer, and Gal-Minm getting farther apart would make for some interesting events.. But this is all a little OT for the Drifter talk.
I think we need some drifters on the Jita undock.. maybe.. 40 or so.. I feel good things could come from this :) |

My assumption is that they are Jove, that either hit a limit with genetic modifications, turned to cybernetic. OR got exiled by the Jove becuase of their cybernetic mods, hence the name "Drifters". We all know how the Jove used to believe in genetic mods
They could be exploring with seekers to try and find new technologies. But I doubt that, considering how much more advanced they are.
I'm excited to see what we can learn from them though. New T3s, something like from sleeper loot (tactical destroyers), but from drifter loot (still don't like the idea of shooting them) or from SOE reaching out to contact |

Went to thera today for some sightseeing, and found something interesting:
Planet 8 (Thera VIII) is a shattered world but has a surface gravity of 17,3 m^2/s^2. Which is very weird because according to the data from https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Shattered_Planets shattered worlds have very very low surface gravities. Planets 1 to 7 in thera has correct gravities (in-game info windows shows their gravity as 0.0 but its correct).
So, either CCP made a mistake about planet 8's data or planet 8 is not a shattered planet, it might be normal but made to look like a shattered world so somebody or something can use it as hiding place.
Considering unidentified wh's used by drifters lead to thera, and some communication relay in one of the sites (Expedition Co....... i don't remember the full name) in thera says in its description: "... seems to be knocked out of comission by several precise energy weapon strikes to its processing cores(drifters use energy weapons)" i think theplanet has important role in drifter activity. |

so here's and after action report on the sleepers in Marosier.
i jumped to the unidentified structure today at 3pm (gmt) following their fleet (5 cruisers), at first they didn't attack me so i sat and watched them for a a few seconds before they started to do something to the jump beacon and for a brief moment it looked like the same effect as a webber or wormhole with the spherical center and wavy distortion effect but i didn't get a good look as they quickly attacked and i jumped the hell out of there.
I decided to go back 20 mins later and they where gone so i sat at 175Km from the beacon to see what they would do when they came back. after a few mins they came back and immediately locked and attacked again without hitting so again i jumped out to 100km from a station intending to go back again but they followed me there and attacked again but this time they took my shields down to 20% with their first shot and took 10% off my armor before i could jump again.
I'm going back to see if i can find out anything else.

A blap Phoenix under similar conditions (double-faction web Vigilant) using Improved Crash and all relevant skills at 5 (excepting Caldari Dread 4) will 1-shot it through the initial shield layer. Another 3 volleys will finish it off, assuming it doesn't take out the webbing ship first. They have been known to do that on sisi.
If you bring a heated triple faction TP Hyena and a triple faction web Daredevil, then maybe.

Gentleman Gamer released a footage of the actual ingame Seeker scooping Maverick body seen near the
end of his video.
Seeker Experiment
Now that is some weird awesome creepy thing right there, dont know if anyone of you have seen the video but you should check it.
Also go ahead and feed them Sekkers, help them build the army

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?..

So far as I know, they only agress unprovoked at the Jove Observatories (formerly Unidentified Structures) and Unidentified Wormholes.

Also on a blah blah note.
Wasnt there a summit of the leaders of all 4 races and concord regarding this recently. Sorry to be dumb but why the hell did they put themselves all in one basket.
Also why are concord treating any of them as a threat?. There killing chars left right and center. Surely this is enough reason for concord to blob them out of existence

Hmmmm.....seems I might be wrong on the "they only attack under certain conditions"...lots of people are saying that Seekers will attack anywhere and everywhere now for no reason.
Guess they really want those corpses.

You know, could it be possible that the big thing behind that sleeper structure seen in the trailer could have been a sleeper Iaptian Titan? Their capital, if you will, and the probable center of a future live event? |

Intersting, I wonder why they are harvesting the materials. We know of the connection between sleepers and the jovians. The observatorys must contain data or technology which the sleepers can not fully engineer currently. |

I may have pointed out that the Jove observatories would result in hilarious grid clearing fun if they were to warp in during an event at Fanfest. If I had, it would have been met by some of the more joyful evil laughter I have heard since giving some one a Nerf Firefly modified to fire with an electromagnetic catapult. |

From what I've read about the Drifters is that they can't be taken down by subcaps, i saw the vid of a Cerberus doing this, but it was later "patched" so that the Drifters adapted and could web/nuke out to a Cerberus' kiting range. please correct me if i'm wrong on this? or does jamming/dampening them work?
So if this is the case Drifters can't be dealt with in highsec, could this be a prelude to Concord/faction navies allowing capitals into highsec, something that devs mentioned may happen at some point?
thoughts?

It definitely suggests that we are looking at an end to the "Empyrean War"". Capsuleers and the Drifters are both entities not tied to a single body, both command massive ships capable of great destruction, both have agendas that are barely fathomable to a normal mortal, and both seemingly do not care for each other at all. Both groups are infomorphs, both groups are at cross purposes. "Infomorph War" it is.
Ignorance is the cause of suffering.

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted here, but I felt it would be worth it to showcase the main theory I've worked on regarding who and what the Drifters are:
You can read it here!
Anyhow, with the Entosis links on the horizon, I'm hoping we'll be seeing more interesting events unfolding soon!

Plz, show us all some examples of black text on a white background from 5000 years ago. I'm sure the ancient Sumerians were quite adept at bleaching tree-pulp. 
On topic, nice summary.

When the Jove Empire collapsed, and then when the seekers found a way to destabilize the listening network, causing a decloaking all over.... Where there still Jove bodies in these outposts, or were they all gone? If so... would the seekers be collecting Jove bodies from the observatories? |
