It's vital that any case of aggression vs. non-aggression be well documented by the pilot in question. Any of the reporting pilot's activities and distances from Drifters/Seekers and related structures need to be well noted. While I don't believe that standings or the ship used to have any noticeable pattern, people may want to report that just to give proof that it does or does not have an effect.

As for Anslo, I agree with Ms. Jenneth.

The interesting thing there is that we've made no contact nor seen any evidence of the Drifters in wormhole space. The Sleepers also appear to be acting as normally as they ever do.

The problem is: those structures seem to have been there for a long time. Maybe even more time than we've been here. In fact, ancient Matari legends talk about vertical monoliths, which inspired the Naglfar-class Dreadnought design... which looks very similar to these Drifter structures.

So, this might have been their home turf before us. In which case... who is the most suited to call this cluster thir home?

You can substitute 'The Drifters' with 'Caldari State' and not lose any meaning or sense in the message, yet I don't think you'd come up with calling for Caldari do be sanctioned as 'criminals' that easily.

Mind you, I'm not trying to defend the Drifters here; I'm merely pointing out how absurd and pointless CONCORD and DED are.

As for your proposition, would it actually change anything in the wider scope of things? Besides making you sleep easier at night, after CONCORD cleary gives you a statement in their two-shade palette regarding whether they're the 'good guys' or the 'bad guys' ?

Well, I haven't seen new of them attacking our people (that is, civilians and non-capsuleer ships). For me, them attacking capsuleers isn't enough for them to be considered outlaws. After all, we come back, and too many of us are too trigger happy, so they deserve it. As an explanation for this my opinion, I'll say I've been living in Anoikis for a long time, and there, gathering information about others and attacking them if they show too much interest is common pratice among capsuleers, precisely for not being shot yourself in turn.

I am not against raising a full alert and stand ready to deliver a fast response in case they attack us. I am against assaulting them (and thus, declaring war on them) before they do, because we don't know if they want to do that in the first place. Continuing what I said to Ms. Kernher: let's say this was their home long ago. Imagine your people one day come back here and find your former home being now populated with a new civilization, whose most independent people start peeking around and even attacking you for apparently no reason. What would you do?

I know of the great war caused by Sansha Kuvakei's ideals. I wouldn't want it to happen again either. But you probably agree that while it is not wise not to do anything now, it isn't wise either to attack someone who hasn't attacked us in the assumption they will in the future. Especially when such someone has demonstrated its strengh.

Again, I'd say: yes, take action, but don't let that "action" be open war. Don't act without reason, out of fear of the unknown. Don't bring us all to another war that could have been avoided by putting as much effort as possible on trying to understand the different ones. Raise full alert levels, have your soldiers and pilots ready, just in case. But don't unleash them unless our people is attacked first. Yes, if they attack us first, people might die before we can respond; it is a cruel truth. But at least, if we try to avoid such attack first, no one would die. If we start a war against such a foe, we would probably lose and our people would die in much larger numbers.

This is why Dusters are superior...

Hell im trying to communicate with the damn things...

We might not be quite clear on who actually deployed structures in whose territory.

... Of course, if you leave your house for too long, you maybe shouldn't be surprised if you come back and someone's moved in. For all we know, though, the Drifters think ten thousand years is just time enough for a nice a long walk.

Reporting that a Drifter class battleship, engaged me today at an unoccupied planet in high security space. This incident had happened immediately after i had executed ship scans via probing technology close to an unidentified class of wormhole.

A purifier stealth bomber, I was simply scanning down an unmanned mobile tractor unit a few astronomical units away from the wormhole.

As far as I know, they don't attack Caldari vessels unless provoked, thus they shouldn't be set as pirates.
