There are some Drifters in Kothe for a week now and I just wondered what would happend if you jetsteam a frozen body in to space. Well sadly nothing.....only that the Drifters fly to the frozen body and stay there.

No scanning anymore only sitting still on the frozen body....(for a long time) After I picked up the body from space the started to scan the area again.

Is it possible to use forzen bodies as bait?
Will they attack (when you are attacking them) when they are at a frozen body?

Only if you have all purple modules fit to your ship. Give it a try.

Well I see how fast ppl get killed when they try to kill a Drifter..
Its just weird to see two Drifters just "hanging" around just 500m from your ship.

Unless you are in a tanky carrier, someone will die engaging a drifter. It is a certainty in sub capital ships.

Not long ago I saw people discussing drifters in local.. they are in belts.. so I go to see.. 2 drifter BS in asteroid belt and they seem to be scanning asteroids. Then 2 seekers came and sat not moving very close by while the drifter battleships went from asteroid to asteroid. I moved in closer to watch and this behavior was very strange. I wondered if possible they are mining.. I did not recognize the effect I see.. but look like maybe some kind of scan.

I was in Anathema cloaked and wondered if they could detect me.. they did not I think.. but I decloaked close by and ready to run.. but they ignore me. Then my OCD became difficult to control and I left before I launch rockets at them.. but I wonder what would take to kill a drifter bs.

Be nice. If nice not work, be civil. If civil not work, beat with iron pipe till bloody and still.
