Many waited patiently to see what the Drifters dropped for our efforts, and here we have it (for those who don't know already):

Antikythera, dropping from Drifter Battleships, presumably as one of the primary components for Entosis Module manufacturing.


(this was on SiSi, but no doubt Drifters will drop antikythera in the coming releases, if not sooner)

As mentioned in a recent Scope news announcement, Makoto Priano is collecting a large quantity of these Antikythera Elements for the purpose of an attempt at assembling a working Antikythera Mechanism and then reverse-engineering the technology to see what else we might make of these pieces. Antikythera Elements have been successfully recovered from Seekers after they have operated their various-colored beams (not the previously seen scan type) on the observatories. (Tranquility)

Her research and request for pieces may be found here:

So what does it take to kill a drift or two?

Whatever they build will probably eat the laboratory...after smidging them first.

Don't go for drifters go for seekers. But make sure there isn't a drifter in system apparently they don't take to kindly to you killing seekers.

I used this fit to murder seekers:

Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Small Armor Repairer II

10MN Afterburner II
Cap Recharger II

Small Ancillary Current Router I

Cap stable with rep so it will tank them ok, I leave it in defensive mode. If you get 16km from then then approach them you can get close enough for the web since they will be moving towards you at the same time you are moving towards them. then orbit at 1,000m. this will keep you at about 6000-7000m and they will be slowed down to around 600m/s from their 1900m/s. When one is dead you let the ship coast away a bit then approach the next and web it then orbit at 1000m and repeat.

I killed about 25 this way on sisi.

An island in the Mediterranean, a biopharmaceutical company and a cutting edge artificial intelligence solution for next generation games.


And for some reason the Drifters have decided the best way to combat the above, is with an element, which we will need.. for some reason...

OMG... Capsuleers will soon be butting heads with AI controlled picturesque islands that are developing injections to get rid of double-chins!!!!!

Answers like this make me silently despair. Well, not really because it's always amusing seeing people using Google and still come up with completely wrong and harebrained explanations. Heh. P

Svipul ?!
That is Venture.

Also this loot will be used in production of "new sov" modules, i am pretty sure.
