I've done my research on forums: "Sleepers eat drones for breakfast, use Tengu"
I've done my due diligence: I've jumped on Sisi and went into WH to test just how fast they eat drones.

Here is my problem though: in a week of probing on Sisi, i've yet to come across a single C3 WH. I've been through chains of C2-C1. I've been in endless C5 chains. No C3s in sight..

So i did the next best thing: C2 sites. I did not really notice Sleepers eating drones for breakfast. No, i was not out damaging my drones as i had no guns. I did not have any EW on the ship (besides maybe a web). The occasional times when Sleepers would target my drone, the agro was very manageable by simply by pulling them in and re-launching.

Question Is there a huge jump in Sleeper anti-drone agro when you move to C3?

There's a sizeable difference in drone aggro, increasing with increasing classes of wormholes. However, it's very manageable in C3 space, and I've flown drone boats with great success there. The key seems to be that you don't rely exclusively on your drones; use some e-war, or have some DPS yourself and it keeps the aggro much more manageable. I've been testing C3 and C4 fits on sisi over the past few weeks. My character is currently in a somewhat random-ish C5 with a C3 static that I could get you into for testing. You typically need to get into low/null chains to find C3s from the outside in. Their static connections don't open unless someone warps to them, so they are much harder to find on Sisi than Tranquility.

What time are you on? I am on Sisi usually 2 hours before Sisi downtime (05:00 EvE time, i think)

And thanks for helping, you've been answering a lot of my threads actually

Send me an EVEMail on TQ, I can often be found online around that time, though since my time zone is US/Mountain it's pushing it. I can scout out the static C3 on Sisi and try to get you a route. I won't promise it'll be a GOOD C3, but it will be a C3. And at the very least, if you want to keep testing you can just hang out in the C5 and check the static every 16 hours or so until you find an appropriate test subject.
