EVE General Discussion

That's in the In-character roleplaying forum, though, so different enough from this thread.

There sure does seem to be quite a bit going on with the eve backstory at the moment.

Therea, SoE activities
these Unidentified Structures everywhere
sleeper sites and drones in k-space
the bright object visible from all K-Space systems.

I am eager to see CCP hurrying up and making at least some of it actually lead somewhere.
I wonder if FW vs sleepers is a possibility? I was thinking maybe the new WH systems would be in UAA, an/or Jove space, but it seems not. Perhaps those had their gates removed in preparation for us being able to build our own gates.

On a side note, if anyone stumbles across one of these, can you make a note of it HERE

You know you can shoot those sleepers, right?

They don't really do anything if you do, and the wreck only yields metal scraps when you salvage.

very disappointing. I was hoping for some blue loot, and/or sleeper salvage.

I don't think you should be attacking them- I want to know what they're up to and probably help them if I can [:d]

I I also scanned them. Showed nothing.

So nondestructive testing followed by destructive testing. Seems legit to me.

Now what would be cool is if they were warping back to sleeper caches and I could somehow follow them there.

Update on sleepers: As other people have stated, they also roam around belts and stargates. Only they scan random wrecks AND stargates themselves! When they do so, the stargate emmits strange blue glows.

Could the sleepers be trying to figure out how to shut down the gates?

Could be how CCP plans to introduce player built gates. (if that's ever been in the works, can't remember)

has anyone tried to take the gate when it fllashes the blue colour ?

Over on Dust, we have some structures that look similar to what I can see from the pics here.
I wonder if the sleepers are looking for what we have on the planets

What we know about Unidentified Structure and Circadian Seeker Sleepers:

The Structure.

• It is an LCO so you can remote shield rep it, cap recharge, web, scram, jam, dampen... but to no effect, same as most other LCOs
• Cant use data/relic, salvager, miners, ice/gas harvester, as those require a specific type of target an asteroid, a wreck, a can etc.
• Ship scan, cargo scan, survey scan shows empty, just as other LCOs.

It seems completly passive. Dont think we can decloak it... yet

The Sleeper.

• Its an 'enemy' NPC, so you can not use beneficial effects on it such as shield rep or recharge.
• You can web and scram it, think other e-war works too.
• Can not hack it.
• Cargo and ship scanners show its empty with no modules, 725/725 GJ.
• Being scanned with blue sleeper loot in cargo does nothing.
• It doesnt mind rogue drones, incursion Sanshas or other hostile NPCs around.
• It has 2 of what looks like heavy launchers, but I think those are its scanning beam devices. Never seen more than 2 beams shot from the same sleeper.
• Beams are non-targeted, it does not lock target to scan it.
• They dont shoot back.
• Leave a wreck. Salvage only yields Metal Scrap.

The most interesting thing is when it scans you with its non-targeted beam and you cloak, it hangs up. Stops scanning, stops orbiting, shuts engines down. Stays that way for a minute or more. It may be a bug and I reported it. But maybe its when you have to do something interesting with it.

On Sisi they did like Custom Offices more at first, but now they seem to be scanning gates, stations, asteroids in belts, and all other objects evenly.

At Unidentified Stucture site, they used to like to scan the beacon alot. But now they sometimes barely land in the site and warp away to a random object.
