I would really recommend you stop reading sci-fi and trying to apply it to factual things around us.
Better read some scriptures.

well ... the sleepers now fight back
they killed my ship and warped out in high sec
not tryed yet in low or null to see if thei kill pods like some people on youtube claim they do (o they are trolling)(or they are dumb enough to not notice who shot thepod)

This cannot be confirmed without a killmail.

Well that's pretty interesting though I am a bit skeptical of the footage.

Just a note and an observation from the camera feed. That ship being used, the Gallante Cruiser..... is a model from a simulation software (SISI) and is due to be released in a month or so. The Sleeper's shooting is a hypothetical simulation, albeit based on good statistical data designed to predict possile future behavior of a given subject via data fed into the simulator.

Alright alright, enough idle speculation. If they do shoot back, and if this turns out to not be a simple scanning mission, we need to be prepared. We've seen the sleeper drones have missile launchers, but have yet to use them.

We need to prepare for every avenue, and we need to up our defences, in case this turns into an all out war.

The simulation software ((sisi)) does seem to be remarkably effective at predicting results, whilst it may sometimes mispredict the magnitude and strength of the new equipment being delivered by the main labs and shipyards, the actual features are usually correct.

Whilst AI is banned, remarkable work has, and is, still been done with advanced "standard" simulations.

We need to consider the possibility of the circadian sleepers becoming more aggressive as a most likely scenario.It is now Time to practice tactics and weapon/ship choices, before it is too late to formulate them.

Of course this may only be the initial vangard of a much wider force.

And may your God(s) or personal protector, as one believes, save us all.

And it seems the statistics were dead on.

Also, a note, the second wave is more difficult than the first. Some in that wave are more durable, while others are significantly better with their missiles.

It seems that us wormholers and our knowledge on how to fight the sleepers might become a valuable commodity to k-spacers or even the empires themselves. Time to get an advert up on GalNet I believe

Nw update information that might be relevant. Last night during our activities against sleepers in wormhole space, the sleepers consistently only fired upon the one target, making life laughably easy for our logistics pilots. This loss of intelligent targeting is odd in sleepers, possibly connected to their scouting of known space? Perhaps they are failing and in search of some kind of fix?

I think this might have been an edge case. I was clearing a Perimeter Checkpoint late last night, and several patrollers readily turned on my drones.

I would normally agree with that, but this happened across three different w-space systems in numerous anomolies

It is most likely a fluke in the AI's programming or the infomorph normally controlling the drone is away on other business.

To illustrate a case, when defending a POS, the POS will often target a single individual or group of individuals ineffectively. WIthout a true intelligence to guide it, the POS will often target poorly. A true artificial intelligence or infomorph can assume control of the POS and target an enemy far more effectively.

With the Sleepers, an intelligence normally guides them. If the Infomorph normally guiding Sleeper drones becomes unavailable due to other priorities, it is possible that the Sleepers would allow an AI to assume control of their drone defense systems. The AI then begins to exhibit the same fundimental flaw of inability to connect seemingly unrelated information.

In conclusion, it is an uncertain possibliity that while the drones run off threat-assessment code, the Sleeper infomorphs are gathering for some larger purpose.

I was on GalNet while I was planet side for the last two weeks. While going through news archives, I stumbled on a piece titled Breathing Room. This well written, though apparently unsubstantiated, account follows the Chief Secretary of the Arek'Jaalan project, and embedded in there was an interesting little gem.

Quote:
On this evening, Vos [Ramini Vos, CS of Arek'Jaalan - VdM] was having a particularly vivid dream in which he, as master of the universe, was contending with a troublesome supernova that threatened to dwarf a little cluster of stars he’d grown quite fond of, having spent considerable time already optimizing their orbits. After many unsuccessful attempts at draining the nuclear fuel, he’d been toying with the idea of a well-placed black hole.
The light from the dying star continued to grow, however, and as the tension of his fantasies began to mount, Vos (as he would so often do) retreated back the other way towards reality, just in time to notice a little supernova of his own.

Not sure where this proverbial wormhole may lead, but it bears an eerie similarity to Caroline's Star, and I though was worth mentioning. Especially since it abstractly ties the star event, A'J, Tukoss, and Eifyr & Co. together.

Now let the speculation begin while I go line my capsule with tin shielding. It helps. Really.

Just did some browsing on the independent capsuleer loss records. Found this kill with 75% of the damage done by circadian seeker drones:
https://zkillboard.com/kill/43861365/

Aggression of CS drones confirmed via kill mail, though I would feel better contacting this pilot directly. Interesting to me though that the only kill with damage done by the CS drones was on a T3 cruiser.
