EVE General Discussion

I just stomped 9 of them with a Drake.

1rst round of 5, then when down to the last 2, four more warped in.

Oddly enough, the last 3 seemed to have a higher resist to my Heavy Missiles.

Shield tank never reached below 45% and their dps was not constant which allowed my shields to build back up.

Meaning the DPS seemed to go up and down.

Fun fight, and apparently my Drake is better skilled than my Raven in DPS and Tank... lol

As I understand use of MWD is a big no no they hit you full damage

2 waves the second being stronger and perhaps geared towards your dps weak spot

all very interesting I hope it really kicks things up and I have to hide my corp in a dead end system away from the evil swarm...could be very fun

Behold! For I have statistics.

Their turrets deal equal amounts of EM and Thermal damage, that is,
154 EM and 154 Thermal damage, per shot.
The firing rate is 5 seconds, so they deal 61.6 DPS and deal 308 damage per volley.
The turrets have a huge optimal range/falloff (alike most sleepers) which is 67,500m/33,750m.
They have battleship tracking on their turrets (0.04rad/s) so they should be quite easy to avoid.

They'll orbit you at 45 km if they can get there. 155m/s.

For missiles, they fire Praedormitan Missiles which deal equal amounts of Explosive and Kinetic damage (this is where sleepers get their omni-damage platform).
The damage-modifier for the missiles on the Circadian Seeker is rather low,
so each missile have a potential damage of 105 Explosive and 105 Kinetic.
The firing rate for the missile launchers is that of standard Heavy Missile Launchers, so, 15.00 seconds per shot.
That makes the damage a measly 14 per second. The volley size is, of course, 210.
The explosion radius for Praedormitan Missiles is 125m.
And the range for each missile with the Circadian Seeker is 84.375 km.

Their defensive layers are quite tough.

They have 2 073 HP in their shields and the resists are as follows:
74% EM - 78% Thermal - 81% Kinetic - 85% Explosive
Passive Recharge is neglectable.

A Circadian Seeker's Armor is its toughest defense.
5 600 HP, 60% omni-resist, and a 18.67HP/s repair rate.

Structure is 2 800 HP with 0% resist, as usual.

For battleships, their signature radius is 150m.

In summary, 82% of their DPS comes from the turrets, which deal EM and Thermal equally.
So that's what you tank for if you intend on receiving full damage.
Or use fast Cruiser or Frigate classes. Totally up to you what you do with these stats.

Have fun!

What you get in game will vary. These show the theoretical maximums for each different attribute.

For example, one that I didn't list was its MWD speed, which is 1,240m/s. You'll probably never ever see it doing that speed, but that's what it can do.

The damage and defensive layers never change, though.

Indeed, however, while I could, other people could also.
And I'd rather just be on my own while playing. I doubt I'd have the enthusiasm to engage in something that isn't on my terms.

Anyone can access this information, by the way.

If I may ask, how do you acquire this information?

I think we are all slipping. Nobody has made this obligatory post

Ya i wanted to shoot one of those sleeper things when It Popped up couldn't target them. i was like is thi s a bug or something?than they disappeared Thanks to this thread It confirms I wasnt seeing things in one of my drunken roams.Glad i didnt target and aggress it Interesting though.

Now if only I had a Nestor to take them on...

IMHO, Oracles do wonders on them.
