I've seen it on eve update a few days ago too but that's the only place I found something about it, nothing about it here or reddit for now.

In the name of Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen : “Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.”

Its likely a "Drone" event much like the rest of the pirate faction events. Guess we shall wait and see as it will be the first Rogue Drone event so far.Big smile

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Expect more information in the patch notes that will be released on Friday. A devblog or devpost is possible but CCP may choose to let us figure it out for ourselves - they shouldn't need to spoon feed us everything.

Difficulty will likely be comparable to similar events like Crimson Harvest & Purity of the Throne in the past. If you can run level 3 missions comfortably, they shouldn't prove too difficult.

As mentioned, webbing and warp disruption are common with rogue drones so I would consider a kiting fit for long range engagement if you think you may need to warp out and heal.

Yea not wanting to be spoon fed at all just was looking for some kind of post or announcement to say what it was :P

Yea I figure something like Purity of the throne but sounds like the AI will be a lot harder?

It's likely the event will be available on Singularity by the weekend. Someone like Jonnypew will probably post a YouTube video before it goes live on TQ.

its just some of dormant drone structures got active again all those drone around it you killed over and over again were there to make sure those structures remained dormant...good job on that one.

they roam and destroy or infect everything they encounter creating bigger army as they go for more attacks or to be devoured by structure it self to get more stronk or to heal it self...you run or you die.

...or...

those will be sites that pop up for you to kill something like 3-4 frigs with some cruisers around some structure with a can in the end.

one of the two.

actually interested to see what happens, hopefully plenty of isk to be made, my first thoughts were they are trying out the new bloodraider AI on a smaller scale... and possibly a small test for this alleged new things comes to HIsec in the end of year expansion

Rogue drones are... uh.... going rogue?

Or more rogue than ever.

Profit?

Okay, either my eye sight is far more poor than I thought or someone's full of ****, 'cause I see neither a June (just a "Summer" slide then Oct) slide nor anything related to the RD. Admissibly, it's very late and I'm not completely sober, at least not sober enough to legally stand duty.

Edit: that and ADMITTEDLY my phone is a pile of garbage that likes to auto-correct incorrectly at times.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
