Intergalactic Summit

I don't see them as being "trigger happy" at all.

You must mean you.

'Cause I just spent the last 20 minutes hanging around with Artemis and Apollo Tyrannus and we had a grand time. Zero agression.

Your response is typical, yet so impinging on their "Freedom."

Maybe you'd like to ask them to vote before you try to kill them next time?

Additionally, the only time I've agressed one was with a 80dps sacrificial research Dominix.
And, to add on that, I'm not advocating war on these. They're worth more alive than dead.

Was able to scan the ship and can at least answer some of the questions:

Capacitor was 7700.00 GJ. It is vunerable to both Nos and Neuts, however draining the ship seemed to have no noticeable detrimental effect and the ship was still capable of firing its superweapon.

Offensive damage types - i tested this using a reactive armor hardener, it adapted by making my tank completly universal, so it appears it is uniform damage. I was being hit by approximately 2500 damage per shot at 60% uniform resist.

Doomsday seems to be linked to the secondary shield layer. From what i've experienced if the shield is prevented from recharging the doomsday does not re-fire. Timer from the doomsday being used, to shield recharging while un-inhibited is approximately 20 minutes. Damage type appears to also be omni. In excess of a 130,000 units of damage.

Additional observations:

Visually it appears that based on the position of the energy weapons on the external hull of the ship it appears to have 6 turrets.

While the secondary shield layer is active and the doomsday is primed, the ship appears to have an almost golden/yellow shimmer around the hull.

Highest velocity if have encountered so far is 2700 m/s. Webbing is effective, however scrambling to deactivate what appeared to be a microwarp drive, was not.

Yes, seems to be a reoccurring theme across the cluster that they now attack without provocation as well. Seen reports of them attacking unarmed vessels as well.

Edit for clarification: Such as unarmed vessels - Including Covert ops ships and the Zephyr.

Don't know if its of any importance or relevance, but the ships are also 700m long.

CONCORD's Database lists the turrets as "Lux Kontos".

Also, the ships do not aggress unless you pas too closely to their wormhole or the unidentified structure.

Apollo is flying alongside my Society Battlecruiser right now, transmitting... something to me.

And there are five Circadians orbiting me: none of them have shown any aggression.

This is actually not a bad method. As a matter of fact I have already tried this with success. 2 Artillery fit Tornadoes can alpha the secondary shield layer. I think 6 Tornadoes at the edge of Falloff could put one of these down within 2 weapon cycles.

Currently gathering fragmented data from an observatory and i can say that seekers will fire on you for doing this. They will also stop scanning other things in the system to return to the observatory once you start running an entosis link. They will not stop firing on a ship or swap ago to you for this however

This myth of C-Seeker/Drifter non-aggression is absurd and needs to be squashed. At first I was hesitant to attack these new foes, and refrained from firing on them. That is until they started taking pot-shots at my interceptor unprovoked. I was simply orbiting a bubbled gate in nullsec, not locked on to anything, simply observing their habits. One of the seekers scanned me with their beam, and then stopped. Moments later, another Seeker locked me and immediately opened fire, tearing into my shield. Not wanting to lose the ship, I jumped the gate and returned to my station. At this point, no one in my corp had aggressed either Seekers or Drifters.

They are obviously hostile and I was nowhere near either one of their wormholes or the Jovian structures (though there was one in system). I called up a few of my past corpmates who had been fighting the Drifters a few regions away, and had succeeded in destroying one of the Drifters. After comparing notes, my current corpmates and I began to plan a way to rid our system of this threat.

The plan worked wonderfully. C-Seekers can be easily killed, and have very little tank, though a great deal of speed. The Drifters, though tougher, were also fairly easy to kill as long as one manages aggro properly and has a ship capable of surviving their doomsday weapon (yes it IS possible to survive it). We proceeded to slaughter all Seekers/Drifters in our system. Sometimes we would kill a batch and they would be immediately supported by more. Sometimes they would take a few minutes to appear in another location in system. After destroying numerous groups, they suddenly stopped appearing. It took until the next day for anymore to be spotted, and now they were much more wary of our tactics (but would still not totally avoid us). Total count over the weekend was over 50 Seekers destroyed, and three Drifter Battleships, with no losses to ourselves.

Stasis webs are the the key to defeating these foes. And oddly, the webs do not cause aggression, as long as the Drifter is otherwise engaged. They also seem to be fond of hanging out around our bubble-camps, being seen there nearly as often as by the Jovian Observatories themselves.

Feel free to mail me for more detailed information on the ships and tactics I used, as I do not feel comfortable sharing more on such a public forum.

Edit: Unfortunately I didn't record combat logs....maybe another corpmate did. I will ask and share if they did.

I find capsuleers very predictable. Well, at least much more predictable than Drifter vessels.
