Is there a cooldown on the drifter's death ray? I wonder what would happen if a group of people bum-rushed the wormhole?

Yeah, it's roughly an hour.

Happened to be exploring in Tralasa, Kor-Azor earlier when I came across an Unidentified Wormhole in same system as one of the Drifter towers. Thought I'd approach the wormhole and see what happens. Nothing until 18km, and then wham before I can warp Drifter Battleship manned by Apollo Tyrannos that's been watching me kills my Gila. Go back again in rookie ship and this time there are 4 Circadian Sleepers who proceed to do the same.



I can say something about "getting too close to the wrong hole" at this point.



phrasing!?!?!?!

Having never HEARD of or SEEN a Drifter Battleship (until yesterday) I can "assure" you that they WILL shoot at Marauders......though I have to be honest: I shot first. This was quite amazing as, the Drifter was locked, my drones and missiles were fully engaged. It was slow but...I watched it's shields get fully damaged. My Marauder was fully shield protected....100%...no damage of any kind. Then, in an instant: one shot of something I never saw and my Marauder was gone. I was floating in a capsule so fast I t took a moment to realize what had actually happened. 100% Marauder destruction with ONE SHOT of something. It was, however, ME who fired the first shot. So....take it for what it's worth.

So are these npcs attacking all the time now? Ive approached them so far on several occasions with no agression. I even approached one of these drifters in my noctis without incident. Im assuming i should just avoid these guys all together? Makes me curious what was on the other side of that wormhole you found.


They'll unleash their small-scale doomsday device on you as well...

Or carriers or dreds.


I have played around on sisi aggressing Drifter Battleships in a chimera, I had an alt in an Etna pushing me shields though, haven't tried it without logi so not sure if the carrier would survive without warping out, I have noticed that it seems the "doomsday" is a one shot and done type of deal as I have never been shot by it more than once, fighters take it out quite fast so if it runs off of a timer to recharge I may be killing it before a second volley can be used.?

My carrier was a T2 fit throw away and my logi was never aggressed, salvage is still scrap and one type of loot is being dropped. for me anyway..
