They were hitting my Dust Uni PVE fit Raven Battleship for 349 per hit.

Around 94-104 when my tank was activated.

Lvl 4-5 on most skills.

They shot Praedomitan Missiles at me and another weapon.

5 vs a battleship and I had to dock up due to noobing up the fight. LOL


WOOT!!

Didn't give them a chance, I MicroJumped and it only took them about 30 seconds to catch back up to me.

They wore my cap down on my shield booster and I got close to armor so I warped out to another station.

It is a winnable fight in a battle ship, just not piloted by a noob that is freaking about about them shooting back lol

Now... I wonder since I have killed so many of them before if I have some sort of negative standing with them.

Makes me wonder why you sit in one, tbh ...

Who attacked first? Were all five there from the start?


So I guess T1 doesn't quite hurt them.

Yet another thing to make BS's suck compared to T3 Cruisers & Ishtars.
And they wonder why BS are doing poorly.

TBH I think a Battle Cruiser would fair far better vs these sleepers.

If you take out the first 5, 5 more will warp in
They orbit at 10k I couldn't close the distance in my Raven, If you want to battle em you will need suitable web range. They were too fast for the Hammerheads so Cruise missiles did the damage. My Buddy in a Dominix with Sentries, guns were useless, his Sentries were doing good.

Anyways all 10 went down. No Loot, No Bounty, No Salvage, hope this changes as they "evolve"

Waste of time especially if you can get yourself into negative standing with them and they start harassing you all over hisec.

In todays news, Ravens are still utterly crap against sleepers....

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thanks for being a voluntary guinea pig to test out the capacities of the Seeker secondary weapon (the 'heavy' hitting gun/weapon)
This gun/weapon has trouble hitting smaller ships, up to the point it just misses them (unless you use MWD's! Then they hit for full damage!)

For folks interested in the changed behaviour of the Seekers, feel free to read: Circadian Seekers retaliate!

Before anyone goes in a panic, on overall, the Seeker damage is fairly weak & they're no threat for an adequately equipped ship with an able pilot at the helm (exception for small non-bonused ships using MWD's)

So... 378 DPS?
If you can't tank that in a Battleship, then you should be using a Tech III, or other Tech II Cruiser.
Or Frigates.

EM is their lowest resist, by the way. For all defensive layers.
