There could be many reasons for all these sightings,

1. We know that isogen-5 is the base material for the super weapon and the Jove may have set cloaking devices on all of them so they cannot be mined, bombed, locked or poked with a fork. The reason why you cant do anything with them at this time is because the cloaking devices are protecting them. However considering they may have been there all along its possibly that the cloaking devices are starting to fail. It could be the raw energy source for the new gate or gates that could possibly be made in the future.
2. It could actually just be a shard from a planet. we know that most cores have an area around them of huge crystals.

3. CCP could just be taking the **** and Falcon is laughing his head off at all of us.

4. As we know none of the Jove mother ships have never been seen, however we do know there were 3 of which one was out of service many years ago. There is an insert that concord or any of the other races officially knew how many Jove mother ships had been constructed or what they looked like. None have ever been noted as the same or have had recent images of them.
You could possibly say they are Jove mother ships and there cloaks are failing. If there are multiple sightings of these it could possibly transpire that there cloaks are failing and that the sleepers may have to come to protect them.

Could it be possible that the shards are actual Jove mother ships with failing cloaks and if so with there cloaks failing could the ships be waking up. The Jove gradually showing they are here with us and have been all the time?. However it could be the reverse. There is a note about sleepers in the new patch and kind of hinting that its a really bad idea to engage them.

We seem to be basing "sleepers" on the Wh sleepers we have known for some years now. However it could also be possible this is somebody who has been sleeping or has been asleep. We know that the Jove had cryo's and had been in stasis for some time. Is this the new sleeper. The Jove awakening?

Sorry for the babble. I must congrat CCP though on making one of the best anticipated patches I have ever seen since beta

Just a thought......


Have any of these turned up in null space yet?.


You know These could actually be Jove tech super weapons that destroy Gates and systems. Look at the positioning of the sightings.

If these are super weapons and they go bang they could make the gate jump mapping completely different.

All the gates vaporized in Jove space and now these shards are popping up not everywhere but in key places.

There isogen-5's with enough explosives to blow systems up and there activating

Jove have just detonated all of them in Jove space.

The ones your seeing now poking around space will blow up to. Its the Jove fail safe device going off so you cannot build super gates

Combat drones cant lock it or cant engage for some other reason, like cloak or stealth. Mining drones dont dig it cause its not an asteroid. Salvage drones cant salvage non-wreck object. E-war drones sit idle too, cant lock. Smartbombs do nothing. Laser turrets hit for 0 damage. Cant use large neut yet, 5x t2 mediums in a Curse dont suck enough to affect it, if even possible to neut it at all.

Hmm... Dont know what else to try.


Someone tried Data or Relic analyzers?

Also Rain 6637, awesome night vision pics you made of them!

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT !!!!!

Two Circadian Seekers, the new sleeper ships showed up in the site, been there for about 10 minutes. Communicated with Unidentified Structure then warped away. Didnt fight back, no backup came in after aggression. Left no wreck or can.

Think they may have added them in todays patch, as i have spent several hours near the structure in past days.

they're kinda tanky. held up for a bit under 8k dps

if you go out there, enable "Roaming Sleepers Cruiser" under Entity in Overview Settings (Tab Presets->Types)

it scanned me with a white light, went from ship to ship.

damn my video lag

Its been suggested that sleepers will start entering known space and roaming.

CCP is up to something. Do not trust the one named Falcon.

Maybe you have to hack Sleepers while they interact with Structure if they dont aggress. Or maybe place a Siphon Unit.

So am I guessing these sleepers will soon be able to engage? and have small drop drones like our drones?

CCP said something about sleepers popping up in space but be careful if your going to engage them?.
