EVE General Discussion

Nighmare with 500 dps did fine. There are thin shields and thick armor unlike normal sleepers, nothing too hard though.

8k dps - if it was from BSes on a cruiser sized ship, there was no 8k there..

Single Nightmare with 1800 per valley / 500 dps paper damage (EM BTW) applied from 96(graze) to 1531(hits) to 1917 (penetrates) of actual damage. So I think its BS guns signature resolution and tracking thing. They arent that tough at all ;)

Maybe they're just looking for ice belts.

Some guy said he saw a sleeper scanning a station when he undocked, some other guy said it scanned his ship. So I may have got it wrong. Maybe it scans objects in the system and then dumps the result to the structure.

Interesting note. It only has one visible turret http://i.imgur.com/x40HUN4.jpg maybe looks familiar to someone? Tho most likely its sleeper specific module.

It'd be a cool future lore event. Say, a race of sorts. On the one hand, if enough capsuleers in enough different ships are scanned, we get access to some cool new stuff. On the other, if capsuleers destroy enough Roamers before the scan quota is met, the "cool new stuff" is used against us in some way.

Just spitballing here.

Now that is interesting.
(as I doubt that many planets in New Eden have a 24 hour day...)

this is actually more incredible than I expected. The sleepers woke up and are about to wreck us, i can feel it.

So I had a brainwave on a couple theories based on these unidentifed structures.

Theory #1) These structures are in fact Isogen V or some other mineral in the EVE universe that will come into play. Either this mineral model has not been finished, explaining the texture work that someone posted a bit ago, or it is not "in phase" with the rest of the universe. The mineral has something to do with superweapons such as the one used by the Amarr, gates to new systems, or the Jove. This mechanic has something to do with the drones that are collecting the minerals, or they could be completely separate from the unidentified structures.

Theory #2) These are a structure designed by a race, sleepers, Jove, or one of the past races in the eve lore. This has been substantiated by the large numbers of structures that have been found all over space. I personally have seen them in hisec, lowsec, nullsec, and in positions surrounding the new celestial in Jove Space and the eve gate. If the Jove or the sleepers are monitoring us, then the new roaming drones would make sense for an invasion or another incursion-like mechanic.

Theory #3) Its related to the space time anomalies that could result in the new celestial in Jove space. If that's the case its possible that the future of eve could involve time travel.

Just some thoughts.

my thing is isogen V is a Very rare rescource found only in systems wit ha blue type star. and i havn't read templar 1 in a while but if i remeber correctly the seyllin incident set of a chain reaction that destroyed most of theses depostis in these systems and started the phenomenon that caused wormholes to open thruought the universe.

Tried warp scrambling, heavy neuting, jamming Circadian Sleepers. Doesnt seem to bother, slow down or stop them. They just keep doing their thing. Scanning the structure, warp to customs office, scan there, repeatedly.

Out of several times I tried to follow the Sleeper it didnt land at the office though, couldnt find at planet or moons, and there were no other objects to warp to in that direction. So there may be a bug, or it warps off somewhere else immediatly, cause it returns to the Structure site from another direction.

If they are so interested in Customs Offices I thought it was worth a try to anchor an Office Gantry in the Unidentified Structure site. But they dont let to do it if you're in NPC corp like myself. If someone was so nice to try that...

If its possible to anchor one without a planet. You cant place a Siphon without a Control Tower around.
