Once again, I remind you to consider the facts of the Drifter appearance rather than operating on the assumptions of your fellow capsuleers.

I cite my previous post:

1. Drifter technological superiority is undeniable. Examples of such include the fitting of doomsday weapons on their battleships, the artificial generation of wormholes, sophisticated armor and electronic systems that resist scanning attempts and all known damage profiles, and layered shielding and electronic warfare packaging.

2. Given all of the above facts, if the Drifter's original intention was military conquest against the Empires, they would already have done so with overwhelming force. With their uninhibited access to Anoikis and superior weaponry alone, they could have struck the logistical centers and strategic locations of all Empire space simultaneously.

3. Given statements 1 and 2, the fact that they have yet to destroy Empire assets and only destroy capsuleer assets when aggressed points to an objective tangential to interpretations of war. Moreover, while they have shown military posturing maneuvers, it has only been against the Amarr empire. Even in these shows of implied force, they have not destroyed Amarr assets unprovoked.

4. Many cite that the Drifter's lack of response to our communication attempts is somehow associated with clear acts of aggression. I would instead consider a difference in cultural paradigms. It is clear that the Drifters are technologically advanced, far beyond any level capsuleers and the 4 primary Empires have managed to achieve. This level of advancement implies a radically altered developmental circumstance. It is highly likely that such a divergent path would result in different communication methods and interpretations of communication.


There has been no recorded instance of unwarranted Drifter aggression against capsuleer assets except when we approach their observatories or provoke them first.

There is barely information to act upon.
All we know is that the Drifters are amassing a fleet, presumably for invasion, but we know not their goals, their tactics or their targets.
Any action we take could possibly weaken our greater position.

That... is quite an astute observation, Mr. Silvox. Perhaps it would be more prudent to try and communicate with them somehow. Especially after the quite sobering count of the ships seen in the broadcast, I can only imagine the sheer scale of their true force. I think I may need to rethink my stance on the current situation.

And in the meantime, I might want to stock up on those hulls which I can actually fly -- just in case something in the near future causes the general public to panic and leaves trade hubs barren.

Time is up... press charges or set The Scope Three Free

Be accountable. Be transparent. Be responsible.

Relevant to continued discussion.

I'm still surprised that CONCORD is continuing to operate under the auspices of corporate espionage law, when in fact they might have more latitude if they were to operate under security laws. It wouldn't take much to establish a clear and present danger from a large Vigilant Tyrannos fleet...

2. Material that shows or disseminates capabilities of a corporation or government force.

The video clearly shows ship counts of a recognized corporate force. Vigilant Tyrannos is a DED registered corporation under the Drifter Faction. As such, I believe DED has the right to detain those poeple. At this time the 2 Scope employees have been released. As fo rthe third, unidentified Eifyr employee, good luck getting this person released.

More concerning is the alleged date of the broadcast. If it is months old, where are those drifters now?

This is preparation for an invasion we must unite and crush them all. Destroy the drifters.

You see, the problem is that it is gallenteans and sansha are ones who want to kill us all, and who were actually doing this during last years. While since appearing of the Drifters they were taking defensive stance.

The only offensive actions Drifters have taken are against these self-proclaimed "scientists", who were poking them with sticks.
