I have reason to believe that drifters and circadian seekers are using hidden wormholes or even stargates to get outside of systems that do not have a Jove Observatory in them. Has any one else seen this? if so, what did you see? Has pics?


Here is a drifter on my overview in a system with no observatory on overview:

Same system and no wormhole to be found:

I almost got destroyed in 0.8 yesterday (Aunia to be exact). A Venture is no match for a drifter

Maybe they were stranded like ET and are just trying to phone home.

Pft. Drifters are old news. Now that they are spawning on our home station in lowsec (yes no jove stuff in system) folk are farming them. So much for new content staying new, fresh and tough for long.

In a different topic I posted that I saw a video in which CCP explained they were trying to program AI that does things on their OWN accord.

As in they do things that THEY want, and without CCPs intervention, this might very well be a part of that same AI.

Don't take my word for it though, but it seems plausible, and AMAZING!

EDIT:

Might be this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hC4I-9UxBo

EVE Online doesn't have phones, that's why your faster than light spaceship 20,000 years in the future has to dock to talk to an agent Cool

PVE will never beat a player, we always figure out how to farm them.

There should be a sequel to ET where ET comes back to Earth and harvests corpses for some unknown reason and doomsdays stuff. And we're all too stupid to realize that ET is the one doing it because we all grew up watching the movie so every time he's like "Die, B!tches!!!" we're like, "Haha. Oh internet. You're so funny. Everyone knows ET is a good guy." We all die without even lifting a finger to fight back.

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon
