Eh, it'll get revealed sooner or later....or Greyscale was behind the whole thing and the whatever has now been cancelled.

Weren't these things originally labeled "Christmas" in the files?

Dunno. They were labeled Jovian Outpost or some **** and got edited real quick. Either way, call me when something interesting happens.

I do suspect that was a intentional falsehood to throw us off the track.

In case this hasn't been reported before, I just witnessed them scanning a Zephyr (the special scanning ship that Sleep drones don't target.) At the same time I saw them scanning untargetable station guns.

Probably more significant from a coding perspective than lore.

I've heard reports of them causing damage to structures, but after sporadically watching them for a few days, I haven't seen anything they've scanned showing any such effect.

Anyone else notice how they have a sort of eyeball that pops out every now and then? http://i.imgur.com/GXOutei.png

Also, this is a screenshot from the apocrypha trailer http://i.imgur.com/VtarVQf.png

Those are the systems were Seyllin-like events happened however not all of them resulted in a shattered planet, some being only reduced to a lava planet. What I found interesting was that a high percentage of these systems contained or were fairly close to ice.

So has anyone seen these sleepers act any differently in
A) ice systems
B) in the ice ielts of ice systems
C) at suns
D) at suns of ice systems

I say suns because Isogen-5 is said to be collected from a star.

Also if any of the above overlap with rogue drone systems that'd be interesting...

Iso-5 is found only in A0 type suns. Suns messed with by the Sey event were type O1's that were turned into type A0's somehow.

Anyone remember reflection of pyramid shaped object on the middle eyeball from these scaning sleepers?

Image was posted on Eve Online Now before Rhea me thinks.

It looked like Ra spaceship (pyramid shape) if my memory serves me right.
If you watched film Stargate you will know.

Now I am on mobile so cant link anything, but if that reflection does look like posted above, then these cloaky structures are just infostorage for sleeper scanners and they are searching for that "ship" or whatever it was hinted to us in that Eve Online Now picture.

Or maybe not...speculations.

I will post the pic later.


Edit: My mistake, I checked the pic and it was not the reflection on the middle eyeball, but on all except the middle one.

it's not a reflection, that's an effect constantly going around those 4 outer ones like a radar sweep and looks similar to the effect seen on the objects they scan while they're scanning them.

Ugh, I really thought I found something to spice this a little bit.

Maybe they are preparing for a galactic realignment

The structures will move the position of systems as such so that the empires will become disjointed and separate

They are no scanning the stargates, but rather programming them for new connections when the realignment occurs

Why isn't it a sleeper structure and why aren't Sleepers altering the stargates for their invasion plan?

I think they just scan anything they're near. I saw them scanning Amarrian Faction Police on a gate.
