So today(after Rhea release) i've been doing my usual exploration routine, and then, when scanning, i stumpled onto "Undentified structure", which looks exactly like one of those mystery screenshots that were shared with us.
Here are my screenies:

Its hard to see, but its clearly a tall cloacked structure, like a control tower on steroids. I will be honest, im too much of a ***** to approach it. Can anyone tell me what that is?
UPDATE: Alright, so i decided to man up and approach it. Being right next to it doesnt decloak it, no mobs spawn, no damage taken. Volume on full, cant hear any unusual noises. Relic/data modules do nothing. Looks like i cant do anything with it. Hmmm... |

It's a Jovian station.

As I recall, some of the earlier sleeper stuff only came up if you were flying a Zephyr - given the suggested link with Kuvekai you might also try the Purloined Sansha Codebreaker on the Echelon.

No dice on the Echelon/Analyzer on either the structure or the beacon. Good suggestion, though. Anything else? I've got some isk to blow and it's not THAT late here yet. |

-Iru That's in the In-character roleplaying forum, though, so different enough from this thread.
There sure does seem to be quite a bit going on with the eve backstory at the moment.
Therea, SoE activities these Unidentified Structures everywhere sleeper sites and drones in k-space the bright object visible from all K-Space systems.
I am eager to see CCP hurrying up and making at least some of it actually lead somewhere. I wonder if FW vs sleepers is a possibility? I was thinking maybe the new WH systems would be in UAA, an/or Jove space, but it seems not. Perhaps those had their gates removed in preparation for us being able to build our own gates.
On a side note, if anyone stumbles across one of these, can you make a note of it HERE |

Well, I looked at one of those structures and if you wiggle the camera at the right angle against a darkish background you can make out the shape of it. It's some kind of crystal stalactite, cracked into several pieces, not some kind of station.
It makes cloaking noises when you get close to it and the lightning streaks going over it indicate a failing cloaking device, similar to what happened to the sleeper caches.
So my guess the sleepers are checking in on old stuff they had around and see what's still good and what got spoiled.

I I also scanned them. Showed nothing.
So nondestructive testing followed by destructive testing. Seems legit to me.
Now what would be cool is if they were warping back to sleeper caches and I could somehow follow them there. |

Update on sleepers: As other people have stated, they also roam around belts and stargates. Only they scan random wrecks AND stargates themselves! When they do so, the stargate emmits strange blue glows.

Shot at the "structure" a lot. Guns hit but damage = 0. Drones don't appear to actually shoot at it. No hacking modules have any effect (up to and including T2 relic and data). The sleeper rats are very killable but drop no loot and the salvage is worthless.
That's all I've seen so far.

What we know about Unidentified Structure and Circadian Seeker Sleepers:
The Structure.
- It is an LCO so you can remote shield rep it, cap recharge, web, scram, jam, dampen... but to no effect, same as most other LCOs
- Cant use data/relic, salvager, miners, ice/gas harvester, as those require a specific type of target an asteroid, a wreck, a can etc.
- Ship scan, cargo scan, survey scan shows empty, just as other LCOs.
It seems completly passive. Dont think we can decloak it... yet
The Sleeper.
- Its an 'enemy' NPC, so you can not use beneficial effects on it such as shield rep or recharge.
- You can web and scram it, think other e-war works too.
- Can not hack it.
- Cargo and ship scanners show its empty with no modules, 725/725 GJ.
- Being scanned with blue sleeper loot in cargo does nothing.
- It doesnt mind rogue drones, incursion Sanshas or other hostile NPCs around.
- It has 2 of what looks like heavy launchers, but I think those are its scanning beam devices. Never seen more than 2 beams shot from the same sleeper.
- Beams are non-targeted, it does not lock target to scan it.
- They dont shoot back.
- Leave a wreck. Salvage only yields Metal Scrap.
The most interesting thing is when it scans you with its non-targeted beam and you cloak, it hangs up. Stops scanning, stops orbiting, shuts engines down. Stays that way for a minute or more. It may be a bug and I reported it. But maybe its when you have to do something interesting with it.
On Sisi they did like Custom Offices more at first, but now they seem to be scanning gates, stations, asteroids in belts, and all other objects evenly.
At Unidentified Stucture site, they used to like to scan the beacon alot. But now they sometimes barely land in the site and warp away to a random object.

I fired on one of the drone cruisers, took a long time to take out with base light missiles. I'd say somewhere between NPC battlecruiser and battleship in terms of HP. None of them aggroed, even the one I killed. Salvaged the wreck but got nothing special. Left due to lack of patience to take down the rest.

Smartbombs (8x Large) and I think all other weapons too (I did try lazzors) do nothing, they hit, but deal 0 damage. Just as to most other LCOs. Not supposed to be damaged. Drones cant lock a cloaked object, dont attack.
Pics of the Structure The Original from 2 weeks ago. Enhanced image 1 by Abrazzar Enhanced image 2 by Unezka Turigahl Enhanced image 3 by Commissar Kate Enhanced image 4 by myself Night vision version by Rain6637 Finally image of a model from game files, named 'Outpost / Xmas / Santa' btw.
In Rhea patch notes a line which now reads 'Sound environment for a cloaked structure' for the first few minutes went like 'New sound environment for Cloaked Jove Outpost'.
The Site Tried orbiting the Structure at 150 km, 120 km, 90 km, 60km with a plan to decloak hidden objects. Like in the new exploration site, where in the bonus room you have to decloak cans by flying into them. Found nothing. Doesnt mean there is nothing there.

Why do I feel like there is a counter, somewhere in the EVE server, incrementing each time someone kills one of these Circadians, and when it hits a certain number, something very very bad is going to happen?
Perhaps the Sleepers heard how much fun Burn Jita was, but they don't know where Jita is, and they are constructing a map and moving combat assets, ready for the moment when they find Jita and can unleash themselves upon the world.

This sorta reminds me of a story I read once. Alien Stones, by Gene Wolfe. We are so busy finding different ways to destroy these things to get some kind of result that we place our curiosity and initial impressions are of hostility. What if there were some way to furnish them with something they need to repair, as it seems atm, their broken device that will not cloak properly anymore, and which could have always been there the whole time. |

I had a rather 'odd' assortment of items in my cargohold. Two of the cruisers took a rather long time scanning my ship. Then one of them began to move towards the cloaked structure. I was following directly behind. Before we got to it, a Gila warped in and nuked them both. Sigh...
I had a hunch he was leading me, but will have to wait to see if my choice of items were something they perhaps needed.

I could not get within 5km of the selectable part of the structure. Also, I could definitely hear the sleeper ship.

Gallente Militia officials haven't yet send instructions about these structures and these ships. As part of Gallente Militia, we're used to so called "non-offensive" targets, and take strong actions against all sleeper ships we encounter. We have, as we speak, destroyed all of these encounterd vessels in Heydieles, Fliet and Deven.
We strongly encourage capsuleers to wipe these invaders when they'are spotted in a system, they are scanning everything, and it doesn't sound good if they succeed in bringing back the data they get to their homebase. |

I mentioned this in another thread, and I think that it is the most likely scenario going forward.
This is the precursor to occupancy based sov. Every couple days the sleepers will begin to escalate their efforts to colonize our space since we destroyed theirs (assuming you believe that sleepers are just Jovian Capsuleers).
Day 1-3 Scout system infrastructure, PC and NPC forces.
Day 4-6 Begin destabilizing infrastructure and attacking any PC and NPC presence. - Reduce Shield and Armor from all Player and NPC Structures.
Day 7 Destruction of Stargate Isolating the region from known space.
This would essentially force people to remain "home" to prevent losing their system to attrition. If not as day 6 approaches players will find that they will only have a structure in structure remaining, which makes for easy conquest by other player organizations. Or ultimately on day 7 lose access to the system through gates, and be forced to either enter via cyno, or WH only.
This also allows for the announced plan to have everything be destructible and for players to be able to build their own gates. If you let the sleepers destroy the gates, you must place one of your own gates to reconnect the system.
Ultimately it will force alliances to actually live in their space, and be active in defending said space, or over time that space will become easier and easier to flip.
Thats my 2 cents anyway.

Thats most likely outcome, yeah, but i just hope that it will actually be something epic and scary now, something that just makes you go "oh sh**, its the end of times". It would be such a shame for all those awesome lore mysteries and build-ups to end up as just some lame small incursions, like what we have with Sansha now.
Something like direct attack on capsuleers(like sleepers actually directly seeking out players, instead of just sitting in one random system and nothing else) in high-sec and attacks on sov space in null like suggested above would be awesome. |

We all know it will actually lead to a much hyped up "live event" resulting in much confusion, TIDI and loss of new players ships (the vets having learnt long ago to avoid these things). |

They're popping up all over New Eden right now. There were at least two that showed up today in my region.
On a sidenote I have to say that I'm really enjoying these strange phenomena. It's really re-kindled interest in the lore behind Eve, something that I think has been on the backburner for a long time. I hope CCP continues to emphasize these lore inspired events in the future.

So what we know is that CCP has taken in-game objects, re-skinned them, written words, and called it content.
Earth shattering and unexpected.
Do we think this will result in:
New modes of gameplay?
New careers?
Force new strategies?
Add new playable faction?
Change character creation?
Unfortunately people belief in the "player created content" myth too much. And based on past failures we have lowered the bar that CCP has to cross over to get excited. I am waiting for one of the ships to be blown up and leave a futuristic Panda corpse floating in space.

So: -there was a incident in "jove space", some sort of cataclysm, unknown nature -cloaking devices around jove structures suddenly stop working properly due to above -what happend to jovians? dead? alive? on edge of extinction?

Now, that's somehow what I observed. My journey startet in Muer/Everyshore, I scanned for the new scattered Wormholes and found one. I am sure there has been an Unidentified Structure in Muer when I entered the scattered Wormhole. Once inside the wormhole the entry quickly collapsed but a new connection to Yeder/Tash Murkon opened - and in Yeder there is an Unidentified Structure. I rushed back to Muer - no Unidentified Structure.
Somehow I feel like those structures mark entry systems to the shattered wormholes. Unfortunately I've seen some systems (Leremplombes as an example) having an Unidentified Structure but no signatures at all. |

My (humble) research supports the theory of these structures being somehow linked to wormholes in the same system. It is also possible that the structure persists in a system after the wormhole connection has died (of age or by players collapsing it).

I'm curious if those structures may act like a cyno to shattered wormhole connections enableing them to establish a K162 into known space... some kind of lightning conductor... only working while their cloaking device is having a malfunction.
If we can't interact with them there should be another reason for them to exist... won't be decoration only.

I say 24hrs because i found it when i logged on and visited again roughly the same time next day. Anyone else have the same?
I approached such a beacon. Nearby another unidentified structure with no beacon.
Locked the unidentified structure. Shoot at it. A bright light was all what happens at the hit. Stayed additional 5 minutes there - just bored. Suddenly 5 sleeper drones around me and ... the unidentified structure I shooted at was gone...

upon visiting the new eden system there is a US present with the usual 4 cardican. however nothing else of interest has apeared in that system.

I am sure there has been an Unidentified Structure in Muer when I entered the scattered Wormhole. Once inside the wormhole the entry quickly collapsed but a new connection to Yeder/Tash Murkon opened - and in Yeder there is an Unidentified Structure. I rushed back to Muer - no Unidentified Structure.
Somehow I feel like those structures mark entry systems to the shattered wormholes. Unfortunately I've seen some systems (Leremplombes as an example) having an Unidentified Structure but no signatures at all. Maybe the implication is that they "travel" using those wormholes? |

I think so. If those structures can be used as cynos to establish focused wormhole connections (instead of randomly spawning without knowing where it will end) I'm curious to find out whether Sansha Kuvakei found out how to use/access them long ago or not.

My theory, the events are connected obviously:
Unidentified cloacked structures are Jove research labs.
Sansha, who build wormhole generator, stole the crucial informations from Jove, who earlier stumbled upon it in their hidden stations researching Talocan ruins in New Eden, Sansha know now that their secret system lies in ruins. That was Caroline's star. Thats why they stopped incursions and used gates, their base is in ruins.
Caroline's Star is event similar to Seylin 5 incident.
Caroline's Star was Sansha base, located in wormhole opened always by Sansha wormhole generator, and it was used as their secret military base of great significanse. Probably system was even bigger than Thera. With a lot of fuel stored for wormhole generator. It blowed up on accident or was blowed up by someone intentionally.
Communication with Thera that is near it, was stopped by the explosion.
Talocans knew how to open wormholes as passage to other worlds (I think that because they were masters in noneuclidean mathematics), to shorten the path to the systems that are very far away. Every event like Seylin accident accidentally creates passages to systems where Talocans journeyed by wormhole generator in ancient times, and where abandoned mechanisms or ruins still point.
Seekers, knowing that new wormholes were created, knowing that they can be attacked from more sides, started gathering intel, some stubled upon the failing Jove structures.

My theory: Yes, but their ways splitted, Sleepers journeyed in generational ships to systems abandoned earlier by Talocans. There Sleepers studied Talocan tech. Jove studied Talocan New Eden tech, both races did not made generators until Sansha come and as a genius, he made it using Jove data and he may used the Sleeper components also. Probably there were parts of knowledge that were so shattered, that he needed both.

Systems where Jove were experimenting with wormhole generation, somehow wormhole points to the place, where talocan machines are located to this day.

They scanned some asteroids, one scanned empty space, then they scanned some more asteroids and warped off when someone else warped in. I was mining Scordite. They scanned Scordite. Guess they are analysing Capsuleer behaviour.

I keep searching for Shattered WH systems, hope there might be clues. Heard about Sansha WHs, havent yet been to one. All Sleeper WHs now seem to have an Epicenter celestial. They didnt have those on Sisi pre-Rhea launch (testing things that are implied not to work right is so much fun).

And as Templar One also explains, the construct that the sleepers live in has a rule that a being can only exist in there if it has a real body out here. When the Dust 514 implants are taken, it kills the sleeper in their vr world. There is only one being that can exist in the construct without a physical body and that being has possessed empress Sarum of the Amarr. I also wonder if the being that has implanted itself in the Amarr empress is the broker. I thought the broker was originally a capsuleer but I don't remember if the first book actually said that or implied it. There is obviously something different about the broker since he can run multiple copies of himself at once. |

Okej update. for the structure. One spawned in NUl sec and it sits there for a few days now.
We have tried everything we could think of it.
Our corp tried all modules possible on it, scanners, neuts, webs, in decent quantities (over 20 ships at a time) everything u can imagine. Nothing did anything
It is indeed a targetable structure with no cargo, etc all the things already posted above. Not bumpable with large ships. it decloaks you and you cannot cloak next to it.
So far, we believe it is just a lore object in place for a future patch.
For the dudes flying around scanning, they actually entered one of our POS at some point, scanned the tower and warped out (read, they entered the bloody POS shield). Dont know if that was suppose to happen though.
Flying towards it in a cov ops cloak obviously applies the rule of decloaking due to range, but the scanners that hit didnt seem to decloak the blops ship before the actual range like anything would.
They drop no loot but scrap metal, can be shot, but seem to be harmless drones any way else.
Summary: a waste of time for now. Play eve you guys and wait for these to be properly implemented.

Odds are, I would say, that these structures aren't actually entirely in our frame of space. If these are talocan structures, and they were the masters of spacial manipulation, then it's possible that what we see are the 'echoes' of some kind of remote link. Anyone tried hitting them with gravametric ECM/ECCM to see what happens?

So I stumbled across one of these stations in Sharji (Still there if you want to investigate). After a few minutes, as previously discovered about 5 Sleepers warped in, but they came in seperately, not all at once, began scanning the beacon, then moved to the station and began scanning that.
I began pulsing smartbombs on the station and the nearest sleeper, no observed change of behavior, they ignored me.
I called in the support of a Domi that was in system, I went back and brought in a SoE Stratios with tackle and between us we tackled and destroyed the 5 Sleeper ships (Chicada Seekers or something to that effect). They made no attempt to run, and began to scan our drones too.
Upon their destruction, I began salvage operations, recovering only scrap metal. We attempted to get close enough to the station to begin a hack, but the object appears to repel approaching ships at ranges between 5,400m and 5,260m, so we weren't able to see if there was an uplink available to hack into.
There was a Sleeper Cache in system at the same time - attempting to hack this made no change to the situation of the station. Upon a successful hack a rift was generated, which I was unable to take the Stratios through due to mass limitations. Sadly due to a failed hack previously, the station guarding the rift self destructed. Again no changes to the station were observed.
The structure appears to be a spire, with between 3 and 4 outer heatsink/fins from what we could tell from our extended observations of the structure. Black clouds as noted in previous discoveries were found surrounding it.
I would estimate that the structure was around 15km in height, possibly similar to that of a control tower?
I have extensive pictures of both the tower, and the sleeper vessels that appeared that I will upload later to the neocom for your perusal. |

Now what if that structure is not many but one projected through a wormhole to many places at once? Maybe it's the heart of Caroline's star, or what's left of it. The star itself seems to got sucked through something and spat out in a distance worming the dust cloud and "rings". Well, the rings can actually be spheres that look like rings because at the edges material density projects higher on a 2D perspective.

With things like this it's always been the case that CCP sits over there with the knowledge of what these things signify while we sit over here with an unsolvable puzzle.
In the hope that I'd be proven wrong, I've even taken rare/unique event items over to one of these sites to no avail. One day an event like this will mean something and drive players to engage with the game to some tangible end. For now it seems that like all mystery geo features before it, that it's just another marketing event and nothing more.
That's not to say that these sites won't form the basis for some upcoming content. Perhaps anchor points for some kind of new buildable structure or some such. |

I doubt an exterminate mode, there's no visible weapon hardpoints on the vessels. I think more than likely this ancient language definition suggests that perhaps they have short lifespans, that they serve their purpose, then shut down? |

That's enough of a contrast to make it worth investigating!
Like, for example, what if all the systems with structures also spawn WHs to Thera eventually? |

This could be an interesting theory - I'm not sure if this is entirely testable - I will fly across to a system that recently had a Thera wormhole in and check it out/ask the locals.
There is still a WH in the system I am monitoring.
I can also rule out any change of behavior after letting them scan me with the following objects in my cargobay;

Following up on my earlier post - systems that have recently had a wormhole to Thera do not contain unidentified structures in. However Yarebap did have one next door. We'd need to expand the sample size to find any correlation. |

I do admit my theory is vague and rather hard to verify, but it's as good as any other so far.
What do stargates and ships have in common, btw?
When sleepers scan gates, what are they looking for, that can be foundd in ships as well?
I guess I should read through this thread properly... |

The systems in which I've seen these structures have only had 1 or 2 sleepers. But Malina Seraki's pics show 5. The increase in number is interesting.
I'm wondering if they are gathering materials to build more Circadian Sleepers. And each time the structure goes away, it is building a new sleeper. Or something like that.
This leads me to wonder what happens once it reaches a certain count? And can the count be reset or reduced?

Testable by bookmarking the exact position and trying to bump into something when it's "gone".
Sorry if this was tested already, haven't read through the whole thread yet.
An increased number could mean that they are successfull in finding what they are looking for and need more cargospace, or it could mean that they are getting kind of desperate. Another idea could be that so many of them are being shot down, that they need "backup" to do their job.
Just my thoughts. |

I still think it's not many structures popping up and being cloaked but one structure being projected throughout the cluster. The Sleepers are out researching the appearances and study the effects of it on the surrounding system. Would not surprise me if it were actually the leftover in the heart of the star that went poof the last few weeks.

An explorer posted images of Sansha and Sleeper structures from inside the new Wormholes that have been discovered after the Caroline's Nova incident the other week. One of the recorded objects discovered was noted to be a cloak projector, damaged - perhaps this has some kind of connection? |

In case this hasn't been reported before, I just witnessed them scanning a Zephyr (the special scanning ship that Sleep drones don't target.) At the same time I saw them scanning untargetable station guns.
Probably more significant from a coding perspective than lore.
I've heard reports of them causing damage to structures, but after sporadically watching them for a few days, I haven't seen anything they've scanned showing any such effect. |

Anyone else notice how they have a sort of eyeball that pops out every now and then? http://i.imgur.com/GXOutei.png
Also, this is a screenshot from the apocrypha trailer http://i.imgur.com/VtarVQf.png
Those are the systems were Seyllin-like events happened however not all of them resulted in a shattered planet, some being only reduced to a lava planet. What I found interesting was that a high percentage of these systems contained or were fairly close to ice.
So has anyone seen these sleepers act any differently in A) ice systems B) in the ice ielts of ice systems C) at suns D) at suns of ice systems
I say suns because Isogen-5 is said to be collected from a star.
Also if any of the above overlap with rogue drone systems that'd be interesting...

Anyone remember reflection of pyramid shaped object on the middle eyeball from these scaning sleepers?
Image was posted on Eve Online Now before Rhea me thinks.
It looked like Ra spaceship (pyramid shape) if my memory serves me right. If you watched film Stargate you will know.
Now I am on mobile so cant link anything, but if that reflection does look like posted above, then these cloaky structures are just infostorage for sleeper scanners and they are searching for that "ship" or whatever it was hinted to us in that Eve Online Now picture.
Or maybe not...speculations.
I will post the pic later. |

Sleeper with pyramid reflections
it's not a reflection, that's an effect constantly going around those 4 outer ones like a radar sweep and looks similar to the effect seen on the objects they scan while they're scanning them.

Maybe they are preparing for a galactic realignment
The structures will move the position of systems as such so that the empires will become disjointed and separate
They are no scanning the stargates, but rather programming them for new connections when the realignment occurs |

Goonswarm Federation under guidance of Rain6377 did alot of research on this, bringing some serious firepower into it. The result was the conclusion that these structures are impervious to any known weapons. You can read more about it here: 'Strange structures and mysterious Sleepers appear all over New Eden!' (IC view on the sudden appearance of the Structures & Seekers)
So far, not much new has been discovered since, except that the structures exhibit a few different behavioural patterns. Some stay in place, never disappearing, some disappear/appear after a time. Of these, some tend to re-appear at a different location while others re-appear in the same spot. No pattern has been detected of yet, but this is probably due to the large number of unknown structures present across all the regions in Eve.
The Circadian Sekkers are in some way linked to the structures, as their patrols seem to appear/disappear roughly along with the structures in most cases (not all! so there's something else at work too)

I'm afraid there isn't. The research into all the various stuff happening is very splintered at the moment. This isn't helped by the fact that most stuff might be linked (Thera, Caroline's Star, Unknown Structures etc) yet are being looked into by different groups (Wormholers, Lore-community (split in several groups!), random people & corps)
Doing my best to publish about it once enough new info has been gathered, but so far, not much new has been found regarding the Unknown cloaked structures since my initial news article on them.
I'm doing my best to keep tabs on it all, but it's hard. Best sources so far seem to be the discussion threads about them on General Discussion & Intergalactic Summit subforums. Still plenty of them to track granted...

For gun boats, you would look at potential damage vs tank. Role balancing becomes more tricky and not even that is right. Tengus have the most EHP with resists, speed and relatively low signature, combined with rails and long range.
Tengu: 200K eHP, 233mm, 632m/s, 1359 volley, 412 DPS, 36 000m optimal with anti-matter Loki: 123K eHP, 189mm, 751 m/s, 1994 volley, 260 DPS, 19 000 optimal with EMP
So, let us look at the Loki then. The Tengu has 30% less volley but hardly a penalty against the Loki that wants to keep you far away so you can not web it .... but needs to come closer with their longest range weapon.
That is just two ships designed as closely as possible to each other. Not even comparing the Tengu against other gun ships.
So, who does understand balancing then? I don't think CCP does.

Partially and with good reason.

-------------Cap stable ---||--- Cap transfer ------ Armour -- Oneiros ------ || --- Guardian --------- Shields - Scimitar -------|| --- Basalisk ----------
Each is different in that they are have two factors but not three or all of them and each has a different combination.
For the most part, much of the design up to the T2 was rather solid in concept. Now they are handing out powerful abilities like being nullified to frigates and .... what the hell is with T3 destroyers?
Looking at EVE one way, you could say it has a balance of predators and prey. Some predators fight over the best hunting grounds but there is still a problem; CCP is constantly giving better toys to the predators and when they hit a point of being too successful, there will be a shift, probably a massive cascade (if they reach it), where miners, industrials and such just unsubscribe, for the most part quietly. Supplies will drop, prices will rise and the whining while hit levels unheard of before.
Then CCP will have the option to either seed all stations with NPC goods that players can just buy or leave it to the players to force the lower ranking predators into taking the roles of prey to keep prices down.

Day 1-3 Scout system infrastructure, PC and NPC forces.
Day 4-6 Begin destabilizing infrastructure and attacking any PC and NPC presence. - Reduce Shield and Armor from all Player and NPC Structures.
Day 7 Destruction of Stargate Isolating the region from known space.
This would essentially force people to remain "home" to prevent losing their system to attrition. If not as day 6 approaches players will find that they will only have a structure in structure remaining, which makes for easy conquest by other player organizations. Or ultimately on day 7 lose access to the system through gates, and be forced to either enter via cyno, or WH only.
This also allows for the announced plan to have everything be destructible and for players to be able to build their own gates. If you let the sleepers destroy the gates, you must place one of your own gates to reconnect the system.
Ultimately it will force alliances to actually live in their space, and be active in defending said space, or over time that space will become easier and easier to flip.
Thats my 2 cents anyway.
Love it!

They need all the help they can get and they will not advance on us in any evil way.

Or that would be too much, limited/unable to develop atm.

Its original purpose was not a super weapon. It broke and could still be used, just as a weapon. Its original purpose is unknown. Given that it runs on isogen-5 and all the spooky stuff going on with whs, sleepers, iso-5, etc, I could explain some theories we came up with. But I'm sick of exerting so much energy over something that gets me nothing because the next act will occur based on a length of time, not player action.
In other words, trying to solve the mystery is pointless. Just wait for the next part of the story.
Sorry, I'm bitter.

That would explain how it spread out among the Minmatar fleet with a single discharge. Crippled the shields and power systems, which allowed her personal bodyguard of imperial Apocalypses to just burn through the lot (they do 1k+ dps apiece). Isogen-5 use merely connects it to wormhole technology. A detonation of Isogen-5 near a star could result in part of the stellar magnetic field being inverted and produce a directional discharge of stellar matter as have been witnessed in the Seylline incident. Caroline's star could have been created by detonating a lot of Isogen-5 inside a star, thus inverting the whole stellar magnetic field and creating a accelerated supernova with accompanying unstable wormholes and other hyperdimensional shenanigans, like the superluminal effect.
But all that is just speculation. Guess we'll never find out.

It is wrong to assume that the Terran's reappearance into the Eve Cluster would bring disaster. The Terran Empire could have fallen and rebuilt many times in that time period, similar to what happened in the Foundation series.
It's all theory-crafting, but anything could be said or done to make the Terrans as scary as the Jovians, or as annoying as the Amarrians.

Probably wouldn't be able to kill people who are cloaked, but for sure folks in say Combat Recons who only have DSCAN immunity I could see that.
I think the most interesting aspect is they are now shooting back...and these little buggers are everywhere, not just in HS. I wonder if they can warp to the unscanned sites. Would be interesting if you were just AFK mining in a Gas site or something to come back dead due to rats. Or warp to POS.
I bet they progressively come stronger the longer they are out and about. More Resistance, more Damage. Like T3 NPC's. After all T3's do come from their tech and are highly adaptable to many situations.
I can see it now, Nullbear McTearyEye sitting with his carrier outside a pos running a 10/10 in his quick lock Paladin and assigned Fighters. When suddenly Woken Seeker's lands a small gang of 10 Circadian dropping 500 DPS a pop with 100K EHP OMNI Tanks, they melt McTearyEyes Carrier, and start smashing his undefended POS where they enter siege mode with a staggering 10K DPS.
Oh whos that in the Paladin Nullbear lands on grid, some Circadian switch to Brawler configurations with Battleship like DPS from a cruiser sized frame. Nullbear calls out for help...but everyone is docked in the staging system waiting on a timer fight, and Nullbear should have been there instead of losing 6B to rats. |

You have to shoot them first. AFK-Cloakers can't shoot first because they are AFK... that's why AFK-Cloakers can't harm anyone.
But yes, if you warp away from combat those Seekers will follow you - they even follow to your safespots anywhere in system - they even follow if you covops-cloak while warping away. But no, they won't decloak you because they land 20km away on grid but will come back to you every 60-90 seconds...

As I mentioned in the post above yours... you need to attack the Seekers, otherwise they ignore you. I havn't found a way to attack something while I am AFK. No, there won't be tears of AFK cloakers or autopiloting freighter pilots (yet).
Tears will still be a Gäó of people complaining against AFK cloakers.

I believe ultimately this stiff is "precursor content" to the needs of player-made stargates as later content, or some advanced means of travel. Possibly by the time it comes to fruition the present mechanics of travel and the status quo around it will be so nerfed as to be unrecognizable, but the mastery of the new means will put those who put in the effort at a greater advantage over those who do not.

C makes gates to all systems in range and keeps blowing the ones made that links to their system. They cyno home after they do this.

These little scanning sleepers and cloaked structures couldn't have come at a better time for me. The Rhea graphics updates have all but locked me out of actually playing Eve (crummy graphics card that apparently can't handle the update).
Two thumbs up to whichever group at CCP set this in motion, following this thread has led me to read more chronicles, research Eve lore, and generally kept my interest in the game alive!
I'm excited to see what, if anything, evolves from this in the future. |

Thanks all for the informative replies concerning my post on Terrans! Wasn't aware Jamyl's superweapon was a broken piece of Terran engineering built for a different purpose. Still darn scary, makes you wonder what kind of weapons the Terrans do have...
That guy sounds way to excited to get podded! Neat footage about Seekers attacking & destroying a ship & podding the player after. Seems the story is evolving, curious where it'll all lead towards.

Well the press release from DED today certainly indicates they are going to be aggressive. I did notice them today on multiple gates, which begs the question what is going to happen to gankers and wardec corps on these gates waiting for easy targets to call in their kill accounts, feeling nice and safe...........
This could become quite interesting.

Don't get too excited yet. While the seekers seem to get more aggressive, down to podding, their damage is very small. On top of this, so far, their 'aggressive' mode came into play after they were attacked first.
That said, I wouldn't mind if they seek out inactive players to poke around. We know that the Seekers aren't stopped by our cloaks to scan things, as there's been a few images where they scanned a cloaked ship.

Yes, for now they won't be able to bring down a freighter on autopilot slowboating to a gate EVEN if they would attack players out of the blue. For highsec you'll need to wait 2-3 minutes until they are able to take down your shields, armor and struc your Pod comes with. 30-40 damage per volley eacht 8-10 seconds per Seeker. As they didn't point me on Sisi we'll need a bunch of Socket Closed's to suffer podlosses.
Still they are fascinating! Locked 4 Seekers and send small and medium scout drones to attack them, even with focused fire my drones kept switching targets instead of destroying a single Seeker. Sentries kept their target. Could it be some close-range drone-control disturbing module? I didn't lost my lock while orbiting close - doesn't seem to be an ECM burst. Area of effect drone eWar... imagine the possibilities :)

Well, Seekers are out there now, responding (softly) to attacks.
Made a report on it to warn the people about it: 'Circadian Seekers retaliate!'
While I doubt a warning is needed, due to their small damage, especially to capsules, it's always good to make people aware of this stuff, hoping they spot/see/notice odd things & share it.
I wonder if this change to the Circadian Seekers is a recurring thing? CCP slowly making them stronger? Or maybe experimenting with a more player-like behaviour for NPC's, one step at the time? First moving around, now responding to attacks & including the ability to pod (albeit getting podded by them will be hard, unless you wait for it deliberately or got DC'd after an attack.
One curious note: If you warp away in your pod after your ship is destroyed, do the Seekers hunt you, or are they letting you go. Also, when you warp back to them, do they resume the attack on you? If the latter is the case, it could provide for some fun encounters if you messed with Seekers earlier in the system.

When you think they can't get scarier as NPC, they start following people through warp! Wonder if they would follow people if they warped to a safe spot instead of a location? If the Seekers can do that, they got some impressive scanning tech on board...
Edit: something that just popped in my mind, if you warp out of a fight & dock up in a station, do they return to their business or camp the station? And if you undock, do they keep ignoring you or do they warp back to the station? Aka: does docking reset their behaviour to you, or do they hold grudges!

Yes, they need ~60 seconds to arrive at your safespot and land 20km away from you - even if you warped using a covops cloak they find you (but leave soon after if you don't turn off your cloak). I haven't seen them camping a station BUT: As soon as you re-enter the system, undock or decloak they come back to you (again, ~ within 60 seconds). EDIT: At least if you are the only person in system who is attacking them - if they encounter another threat they ignore you
For the damage: Their second weapon system (doing the heavy damage) has very bad tracking and misses Pods and Frigates most of the time... unless you turn on your MWD of course. Shieldtanked Battlecruiser with MWD running isn't the best choice to fight them. So no, don't bring your Drake! |

So really the only way to die to these sleepers is to be ....... (drum roll please).....
AFK
Meaning that players who are careless have something to worry about.
What I am wondering is, if you are cloaked at a safe spot, do they find you?
If so, that's the end of AFK cloaking but you'd have to be the sort who goes AFK all day. I don't think anybody who takes a break to go drop the kids off at the pool or something would have much to worry about. I'm thinking of the log in after downtime and leave cloaking alt in a system until downtime.
I'm hoping this will be the case not over the AFK cloaker topic but simply from the ocean of tears that my ship is going to sail on.

I attacked one in null. I proceeded to the next belt and opened fire on two BS rats. Then, 6-10 seekers entered the belt and began to fire upon me.
I moved on to the next belt after finishing the BS's, a repeat of the last two belts.
This went on for about 15 minutes after I last fired on one. I believe that they were hunting me from belt to belt in retaliation for my initial attack. |

So, this is my first time posting on the forum, but these structures and the seekers have really got me taking time out to watch the, and try to figure out what's going on.
So I was doing a bit of low-sec exploration and visited an US ... Warped in cloaked, 5 seekers scanning the beacon and the stucture. They warped away, so I decloaked, about a min later they reappeared and started scanning me. I sent out some probes and drones and they scanned them too. I haven't attacked one, just observing and they haven't attacked me ...
I wonder if they're learning our behaviours and learning to respond to everyone in kind. So if we attack, they'll attack back, if we don't, they just carry on. I've tried interacting with them - scanning, following, orbiting, bumping etc. - but nothing interesting to say.
I've also tried to watch their interactions with the structures. They seem to return to the structures each time after warping around a bit. Perhaps if there's a link between wormholes and structures and circadians the structures could be like motherships popping through WHs and dropping seekers to scan around.
The structures are naturally significantly harder to observe due to their cloaking, but I will be spending a bit more time trying to observe and interact ...
For my opinion ... I would love to see more active NPCs, escalating seeker interaction and some kind of Jovian revival! |

Just watched some Seekers at a gate warp to a belt with a miner exhibiting AFK-like behavior. The Seekers scanned the miner's drones and wrecks. They were also scanning the rocks themselves. After a few minutes they flew off to another belt, empty this time, and they just started scanning rocks. Now they're scanning regular belt rats. (I'm watching as I type... like a creep).

...and off they go again. Can't wait to see where this is headed.

So Jove will shoot Down the TCU and take over the system. This will give many a chance to grab themselves a little piece of nullsec instead of renting it from big alliances, if they can fight off Jove and put up their own TCU.
This will hit the big alliances hard that controll entier regions....

Are their locations fix? Do they despawn? I always stumble over them when I jump out of Thera (test server). Is their number increasing? How many are there? Did someone start to map them?

Donno about on Sisi, but the once I've encountered on TQ seem to be fixed.. They have been in the exact same systems day after day. |

Edit: Seems like every constellation has at least one?
I fly daily around in null... and i see those structures in approx. every 4-6 system apart. From my point of view, ive only seen them in systems without stations. I drove Down from hi-sec to Outer regions few days ago, and these structures pops up on overview very often as fast i enter nullsec.
Tho i cant speak for sightings in low or hisec.

From the observations I've made in my home region the structures do disappear after about a week. They respawn within a day or two in the exact same location (bookmarked the beacons). I haven't noticed any news structures in the neighbouring systems, but there is a database cataloging their locations. I'm fortunate in not having to travel very far to observe these beacons since they are only two systems apart. Both systems have heavy Circadian Seeker activity as well, usually concentrated on scanning the structure itself but also roaming and scanning other objects such as POCOs, gates and even stations.

Have them in a low activity system that has a station.

i realise the Gnosis is a jove ship but it is a part hybrid with our own capsuleer technology... has anyone tied to approach these cloaked stations or sleeper ships with what i think is a pure jove ship the "Apotheosis" shuttle.
the other issue i have with the standard random wormholes is that i find it strange that none of them ever connected with jove space...coincidence? |

As far as I know, only the Zephyr still has unique interactions with these ships; That is the Sleepers and Drifters do not fire on it.
Every other ship is fair game, to my knowledge. |

If that's the case, has anyone managed to fit the various types of scan modules to that ship in an attempt to get any information... I'm typing this on my mobile phone so I can't access ship type layouts

SoCT might have been founded by the Jove, but they have virtually no interaction with them, and do not provide them with advanced ships.
They are as Jove as Angel Cartel, or Concord. They use some Jovian elements, but in the end are made by us not them, and are more empire tech than anything else. |

The faction is an offshoot of the Jovians, and has its own fleet of unique ships- the Jove used their distinctly organic-looking ships, like the Wraith, Phantom, and Eidolon.
The SoCT is as Jovian as Sansha is Amarrian.
Additionally, it has been "hypothesized" that the Jovians have devised a way of preventing these wormholes from appearing in their space- something that really doesn't seem very far-fetched anymore. But really, it's for teh sake of the game- no one is permitted to enter Jove space.

Indeed. Using the database and Dotlan I highlighted the systems with unidentified structures in two regions. I wonder if there's some kind of pattern involved in their distribution.

It might be interesting to plot the location of all known Unidentified Structure-having systems in 3-dimensional space to see if there is a pattern.

Here are my screenies: http://i.imgur.com/R31rRIC.png http://i.imgur.com/mn2onWl.jpg Its hard to see, but its clearly a tall cloacked structure, like a control tower on steroids. I will be honest, im too much of a ***** to approach it. Can anyone tell me what that is? UPDATE: Alright, so i decided to man up and approach it. Being right next to it doesnt decloak it, no mobs spawn, no damage taken. Volume on full, cant hear any unusual noises. Relic/data modules do nothing. Looks like i cant do anything with it. Hmmm... UPDATE 2: Damn, sleepers! They jumped not long after me and started approaching the object. They did something with the station and then warped out. Good thing i was cloaked myself... http://i.imgur.com/xcuUINj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GKxkMEw.jpg Update on sleepers: As other people have stated, they also roam around belts and stargates. Only they scan random wrecks AND stargates themselves! When they do so, the stargate emmits strange blue glow. Screens: http://i.imgur.com/TqNe0yA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sHdAQ2f.jpg
did you try shooting it?
or perhaps prodding it then shooting it? |

Seeing Aridia there is no minimal path distance defined... The spread in Black Rise is better if you consider shortest path distance. Seems there are no adjacent occurrences in both regions though, do they have adjacent occurrences in any region? Both have 10 occurrences though? |

All spiders are cloaked.
Some cloaked are spiders.
If you look they will be irrelevant.
