Like what? We have two choices: Shoot them, or not shoot them. There are no game mechanics to shut down their ship production, or take their systems, or negotiate with them, or anything other than shoot or not shoot.

My standings with Jove aren't too shabby. I have no Sleeper standings, nor can I find any agents. Dang.

Furby is the closest thing we have to the Sleepers themselves. Those machines never die.

Was playing on the test server today and found the following:

1. Circadian Sleepers now attack even when you don't attack them. (unless in a Zypher)
2. They call in reinforcements. There are multiple waves. Exactly two. (I tried but couldn't get more then 2 to spawn)
3. The second wave has much better resists then the first wave. (see video for the proof)
4. There are now Unidentified wormholes on the test server with sleeper structures around them. (Only seem to spawn in systems with unidentified structures.)
5. There are now sleeper battleships on the test server. (model is incomplete for them currently it seems.)

Here is a video I made that proves that the 2nd wave of Circadian Sleepers has higher resists then the first one. (can see the dps in the log as I'm shooting one from each wave.) Also has the rest of what I've listed here.

If anyone manages to get a third wave please let me know.




Oh noez!!!!!

Meh.

The years of advertisement that brought in hoards of min-maxers pretty much "pre-killed" any kind of effort or storyline that could be centered on dealing with the sleeper threat as a voluntary act.

That is, if it gets in the way or "muh ISK/killboard" nobody will care. Maybe some die-hard RPers will make some noise about it and have some fun in the process (they do have fun) while the min-maxers, if they are not too busy looking at their wallets or stats, will just frown and think "lame" for the brief moments of thinking that a brain raised on Ritalin will allow.

UNLESS

There were missions around confronting them and/or they dropped some heinous PVP boons.


And as rumors of a Jovian battleship spread, and all this does appear to be linked to Jovians - I think CCP is going to find one heinous reason to give all of us a reason to give a rat's little gray ass about these sleepers.

God I love those Vikings. Except the Hákarl, they can keep that stuff.

I think mainly because not enough people really care. I know I don't. I just hope it doesn't become something everybody has to bother with.

Too true - we had one 'wake up' and start yelling in the middle of the night - ten years after we thought its batteries were dead Evil

Let me sum it up for you. This is how it will all pan out.

Sleepers will invade full scale and dismantle the empires causing high sec to drastically retract as the empires lose territory causing tons of low and possibly even null sec areas to pop up between borders as they retreat inward.

This will provide new content for missioner/incursion types as maybe CCP will have the empires do call to arms for systems under sleeper assault. This will ultimately fail however as part of the storyline.

As this progresses sleepers will destroy the router communication network to slow communication efforts, this will cause local to be removed. Sleeper tech will be reverse engineered to give us a better more proper radar/d-scan system to circumvent the loss of local.

As the carnage continues gates will be destroyed in some systems leaving them (or entire constellations) only accessible by wormholes which will lead into the introduction of player created gates.

If you watched his video maybe this is the route CCP is going to go with new player created gates, it did seem like the 2 structures were keeping the unknown wormhole stable, maybe player gates will just be stabilized wormholes.

This is all my imagination and would be cool if it really did follow this route Lol.

+1 I approve of this change.

While I pretty much share you sentiment, a small part of me can't help but hope these NPCs do become something everyone has to deal with. CCP basically just upping the overall danger of the EVE star cluster so nobody, no matter if you're a high-sec miner or a 0.0 powerhouse, can afford to just rest on their laurels if they want to be out in space doing something.

That way, High-sec afk, 24/7 mining bots get wrecked and maybe enough holes will pop up in 0.0, as Sleeper fleets take down PoS structures, or at least threaten to, that the Sov state of 0.0 can begin to shift more heavily again.



Devil's advocate aside, I think this will just end up being more PvE, NPC-oriented content and the only people who will bother with it are the people who will want to, myself included.

Gonna waste my first post on this.

Id imagine if Solj is correct id also imagine that when the empire highsec space shrinks, highsec will also become totally carebear and ganking there will no longer be feasible.

If they have a way to eliminate bots with the sleepers, theyll ban CODE/New Order of Highsec, because there wont be a point for it. If highsec shrinks, itll become totally secure.

Its like back when frieghters got rigs, they also got nerfed eventually. Nothing happens in EVE without an equal and opposite action. Highsec shrinks, then highsec becomes more secure.

Id think though that theyre probably just the precursor to high end content, since alot of people feel that industry, science, etc, have become entry level stuff and high end content is kind of sparse.

Possibly in a year or three we might see a tech 4, or tech 3 versions of everything else, and player made gates.

All of that would be pretty cool. But its just speculation.
