The video seems to point to them being exploration sites.

Clearly these sleepers are looking for something and have that single directive to find it.

Did anyone try to cross that scanning beam when the sleepers were scanning that unidentified object?

Anyone tried being scanned while holding some of the parts of that Jovian?

Can't we just live in peace?
It seems like the Seekers just rolled in to gather some informations, and we greet them like we would treat other people (badly).

I will go and tell them that I come in peace.

I tried it on SISI- it didn't do anything there, but perhaps things could be different on Tranquility.

I mentioned this in another thread, and I think that it is the most likely scenario going forward.

This is the precursor to occupancy based sov. Every couple days the sleepers will begin to escalate their efforts to colonize our space since we destroyed theirs (assuming you believe that sleepers are just Jovian Capsuleers).

Day 1-3
Scout system infrastructure, PC and NPC forces.

Day 4-6
Begin destabilizing infrastructure and attacking any PC and NPC presence.
- Reduce Shield and Armor from all Player and NPC Structures.

Day 7
Destruction of Stargate Isolating the region from known space.

This would essentially force people to remain "home" to prevent losing their system to attrition. If not as day 6 approaches players will find that they will only have a structure in structure remaining, which makes for easy conquest by other player organizations. Or ultimately on day 7 lose access to the system through gates, and be forced to either enter via cyno, or WH only.

This also allows for the announced plan to have everything be destructible and for players to be able to build their own gates. If you let the sleepers destroy the gates, you must place one of your own gates to reconnect the system.

Ultimately it will force alliances to actually live in their space, and be active in defending said space, or over time that space will become easier and easier to flip.

Thats my 2 cents anyway.

Accidental double post

Thats most likely outcome, yeah, but i just hope that it will actually be something epic and scary now, something that just makes you go "oh sh**, its the end of times". It would be such a shame for all those awesome lore mysteries and build-ups to end up as just some lame small incursions, like what we have with Sansha now.

Something like direct attack on capsuleers(like sleepers actually directly seeking out players, instead of just sitting in one random system and nothing else) in high-sec and attacks on sov space in null like suggested above would be awesome.

now now

We all know it will actually lead to a much hyped up "live event" resulting in much confusion, TIDI and loss of new players ships (the vets having learnt long ago to avoid these things).
