Exploration Frontier Inc has successfully completed an exploration expedition in Conflux. Today at around 00:10.
Adopted strategy against Drifter vessels:
Having gone to the conclusion that there is no reliable way to avoid losses facing Drifters, we decided to minimize human an financial casualties by simply ignoring them. They did not receive any damages and their attacks were promptly countered by our Ospreys.
I must warn you however that, maybe by poor luck, one of our pilots reported that the Drifter once managed to land a hit that was 3 times more powerful than an usual Drifter volley. Such event makes a decent shield or armor buffer mandatory, even with formidable reactivity from your logistics.
After Action Report from the Conflux:
The Caracal Fleet with Osprey support had to split in two groups. Capsuleers with remarkable hacking skills were able to open us the way without the need for any specialised ship, as they were in standard Ospreys outfitted with a Data Analyzer II.
The security of the Conflux was quite impressive, as everytime we managed to unlock something through haking, it would be locked again in a matter of minutes. It should also be noted that one group was only able to unlock the way for the opposite group, forcing both group to progress through the site in parallel, following a strict timing.
Sadly, one group failed to identify the console that would open the final acceleration gate for the other group. As we had no knowledge of the layout of the Conflux, they did not realize that they were about to reach the Conflux Hive before it was too late.
Therefore, only 40% of the fleet managed to reach the Hive. It consisted in a circular structure of an estimated 120km size. Along with the sleeper drone protection that every part of the Conflux had, we noticed a Drifter named "Hikanta Tyrannos", seemingly guarding a structure named "Conflux Vault".
We engaged Hikanta Tyrannos and proceeded to destroy his vessel, loosing a ship in the process. It was quite a surprise however, when we realized that his remains contained a Vidette Index. A quick analysis revealed that it is some sort of key, but not the one we were looking for, as it was unable to open the Conflux Vault.
Therefore, having nothing left to do, I ordered the fleet to leave the system.
