EVE General Discussion

so here's and after action report on the sleepers in Marosier.

i jumped to the unidentified structure today at 3pm (gmt) following their fleet (5 cruisers), at first they didn't attack me so i sat and watched them for a a few seconds before they started to do something to the jump beacon and for a brief moment it looked like the same effect as a webber or wormhole with the spherical center and wavy distortion effect but i didn't get a good look as they quickly attacked and i jumped the hell out of there.

I decided to go back 20 mins later and they where gone so i sat at 175Km from the beacon to see what they would do when they came back. after a few mins they came back and immediately locked and attacked again without hitting so again i jumped out to 100km from a station intending to go back again but they followed me there and attacked again but this time they took my shields down to 20% with their first shot and took 10% off my armor before i could jump again.

I'm going back to see if i can find out anything else.

Edit:

i have been following the sleeper fleet in marosier for the better part of an hour they are scanning structures they scaned the jump beacon at the unidentified structure for 10mins then the station at marosier IX, then the customs station at marosier IX then they scanned asteroids in asteroid belt 1 marosier IX

it looks like they are scouting for an invasion anyone think the structure is a jump gate?

will continue to track them

update 2:

sleepers still continued to scan structures but they seem to have a pattern but i keep losing them after the asteroid belt i think they are jumping to a moon but they always return to the unidentified structure. be warned though if you try to investigate them at one point i jumped away from them to do some probe scanning (trying to see where they are jumping too after the belt and they jumped to within 20Km of me and opened fire i almost lost my ship. how they knew where i was jumping too is beyond me as i was cloaked before i jumped.

Has anyone tried to engage drifters with a POS. Would be interesting to see what the super weapon would do to one.

Yup! The Drifters and Seekers have been observed burning into the sides of them with a beam, then tractor ing something with the same beam they used on the corpses in the trailer.

So the Drifters are salvaging Jove bodies? This coincides with the message that were claimed to have been sent by Hilen Tukoss asking for jovian body parts. Check IGS forums for details.

We have seen in Fanfest trailer "Emergent Threats" that Seekers are now officially corpse collectors.

Gentleman Gamer released a footage of the actual ingame Seeker scooping Maverick body seen near the

end of his video.

Seeker Experiment


Now that is some weird awesome creepy thing right there, dont know if anyone of you have seen the video but you should check it.

Also go ahead and feed them Sekkers, help them build the army

WTB 1000 Corpses.

So far as I know, they only agress unprovoked at the Jove Observatories (formerly Unidentified Structures) and Unidentified Wormholes.

Hmmmm.....seems I might be wrong on the "they only attack under certain conditions"...lots of people are saying that Seekers will attack anywhere and everywhere now for no reason.

Guess they really want those corpses.

You know, could it be possible that the big thing behind that sleeper structure seen in the trailer could have been a sleeper Iaptian Titan? Their capital, if you will, and the probable center of a future live event?

:-O


NPCs with killboards!

Saw a patrol of Drifters in Sibe and decided to attack them, all went well until the battleships showed up lol, do not advise... they like two hit killed my tengu :(
