[HOLY COW] Sleepers, Jovians, and the 'Other'

NEW HOT STUFF!!!

Circadian Seeker's beam is non-targeted thing, so one can cloak if 'scanned', and if one does that, then the Sleeper hangs up, stops scanning, stops orbiting, turns off its engines. Hangs in there for several minutes before it turns on and starts doing it's thing again, like warp around scanning stuff. Think its time to do something unnatural with it.

Data/relic hack still dont work, will try other mods on them in turned off state.

Ship scan still hangs if used on them, unlocks if you fly far enough. Shows no mods in result, but 750/750 GJ power.

The "hang" state was also triggered for one of the four sleepers when the other two decided to mate (cf my post at the top of this page), just sayin', we could also dig on this side Lol

In all seriousness though, so far I fail to see this advanced AI.

If its a seeker, than it seeks, probably for something unusual or useful for it.
What can be useful for a drone that seeks something unusual?
What unusual thing you can think about? Something rare. Parts of Jovians? Rare Jovian ships? Talocan stuff? We have only parts of Jove body scattered in EVE and usual old Talocan stuff. I did not see a Jove ship in anyones hangar for now. Only SoCT battlecruisers and shuttles.

As for the black balls, I know who would want to see it. Sisters of EVE are collecting those for research. Some people know where to find those because they are attuned to them in some way, probably balls meddle with consciousness of people. Making them fly to it like a moth to the flame, or towards some other trap, can be an effect that is intended.

Remember how we are catching bugs for our research?

Didn't one person report that after destroying a Circadian Sleeper that had just scanned a POCO, he found PI (Aqueous Liquids) in the wreck? Try getting scanned with some of that in your hold. Maybe they will take it (transporter tech?).

Negative, stock up on Caldari Navy Iron ammo. Lowest price in Jita 1200isk/per.



Doubt there is any trick. Just wait for CCP to flip the switch.

i don´t think that polarized guns were introduced the same time with sleepers in k space with no reason at all

Interesting. You can now web and scram Circadians, think ECMs, dampeners and other stuff should work too.

Ship scanner doesnt hang up when used on them, so it got fixed. Shows no modules, 725/725 GJ.

And I'm pretty sure on TQ they gonna fight back. Or even attack.

i doubt the attacking part of these circadian sleepers. the way they vanish into a puff of dust suggests they're here for observation only. there may be a cataclysmic event later, or an invasion, but I don't see it being carried out by circadians.

at stargates , stations , poco , pos and beacons
i don´t know yet if they show up in belts

when I tested killing them, nothing was left when they blew up. But some days later someone stated that they now leave a wreck.

They are equiped with a missile launcher if you look close enough.

If the Sleepers and the Jovians are now working together, that explains why the Circadian Seekers are now using Shield technology.
