I cannot believe it. Am I dreaming? CCP introduce a major change to EVE without any announcement and there is no reaction from the players. No riots in Jita , not a squeek on the forums. Has everyone been taking Prozak since Xmas?

NPC's will now pod you Big smile .Posts about them doing it on Sisi where locked for fear of upsetting the players , but the only comments I have found have been favourable and the feature is live in game. True its only the sleeper 'seekers' but hopefully the change will extend to all rats. I love it that they will hunt you down and will follow you when you try to escape cloaked Lol

Is this CCP's new development plan? Introduce major game changes and don't tell us Shocked We live in interesting times Shocked

What's a sleeper seeker? PvE isn't my strong suit.

I bet the removal of clone costs and them mentioning how
this gives them opportunity for more is just coincidential......... ;)

It's a cute little bit of added environmental realism Cool

The little guys that have been running round scanning things will now fight back if attacked.

I'm waiting for the day when some bloke in Dinsdales fleet manages to get big D himself podded by an NPC.

It'll be like a tiny little apocalypse right in these forums. Lol

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Never made sense to me why npcs DON'T pod you to begin with. Though I can think of a few situations where I'm happy it was that way, especially after getting DC'd and losing something expensive, I'd hate to lose 3b in slave implants too. What?

They did, but not in full clear-text so you'd have to read between the lines yourself - http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/circadian-seekers-ded-advisory/

well now .. "Circadian Seekers .... are sufficiently prepared for retaliation." not much ambiguity there.

Isn't that interesting .. kind of makes you want to test the waters with one of them lil beggars !

Was Sappening?

NPCs finally taking out pods, like they all should have done from day 1.

It never made any sense to me that theyd pop your ship, and then go.."meh, leave the pod, thatll teach them to mess with us!"

I for one welcome our new pod blapping sleeper overlords, and wonder how I may serve them.



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I think it's a matter of concern for everyone.

You are flying in what space again?

Anyway, now just add the more "intelligent" sleeper AI to all rats and improve them a bit. The non-wh rats are too stupid.
