Mobius Wyvern Sky-FIRE 5805	Posted - 2015.02.20 05:24:00 - [1] - Quote Myself, Sgt Kirk, and Galm Fae have all been messing with the new Drifter ships in EVE which appear to be related to the Jove at least in terms of technology and appearance. These guys like to hang around structures of the same design of their ship that Cat Merc helpfully pointed out are half the size of his home country of Israel. These things appear to be some kind of listening post, and frequently have the Sleeper Circadian Seeker drones near them or wandering around the system, always scanning things. Now, we decided we would attack one of these Drifters. I lost a Garmur to one because their turrets float next to their hull instead of being attached, so they have no limitation of tracking speed and do perfect damage to any target at any speed at any range. Eventually Galm showed up in a Drake, and we found out that their shield bar shows up blue because shooting them charges energy for a super-weapon that can wipe out a ship in one shot. So yeah, these scary mother******* are all over New Eden right now and no on really knows what to do about them. Just a heads up for all of you who don't play EVE. Since this game doesn't have an EVE section, I'm putting this here to make sure everyone sees it. I support Keshava for Gallente Specialist HAV R.I.P. Kesha
Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution 9632	Posted - 2015.02.20 05:28:00 - [2] - Quote I'm just here to gloat that I survived one attack from a Drifter Battleship on two accounts that night. Apparently they get rid of the lesser threat targets first because I can be killed instantly and allow the most threatening ships to deal enough damage to them to where they can use that collected energy to use their Doomsday weapon. *As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

Tactically sound. Reduce the incoming DPS as much as possible while lessening targets, eventually you're left with only the handful of major threats that your doomsday can take care of. It's.... Actually somewhat brilliant. Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department? *Founder of AIV*
Galm Fae Eskola Ergonomics 376	Posted - 2015.02.20 05:39:00 - [5] - Quote I can confirm this report. There's little point in poking these craft in the eye currently, but we anticipate a greater importance will be placed on adequately combating these threats in the future. For now all we can hope to do is organize, train, and equip multiple quick reaction forces that are specialized in this form of combat. I wish I new that bit about ECM, the Drake was loaded with ECM drones but I didn't bother launching them in caseI needed to warp out. Shows how well that worked. *Kirjuun! Uakan! Teknikiara!

Toxic environment floods all dust compatible planetz.. kills mercs... End of dust anyone? Anyone getting annoyed by reading of the above post should consider the following. I don't care so neither should you :)

No need for capsules anymore, becomes one insteag of 2 games with shared chat. I hear duke nukem 2015 is due soon as well.

That's exactly what Mobius was thinking about! They don't do anything, no ewar, no tackling, no disruption, just flat out damage. Furthermore, it seems they prioritize support craft over combat ships. It's as if they know that they're at a disadvantage and seek to level the playing field. It's starting to make more and more sense that electronic support might be our greatest asset against these guys. *Kirjuun! Uakan! Teknikiara! Kanpai kameitsamuu!

Sadly I don't think Sensor Dampeners would do any good against these guys so I'd be useless unless a targeting speed script is useful. I'm thinking the sensory jammers, burst ECM and weapon destabilizers could probably do a load of good against them. Especially weapon destabilizers in my mind. Looks like this is a job for Caldari and Amarr and the ECM side. *As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

ONE YEAR. IT'S NOT LIKE THE **ING JOVIANS WILL REAPPEAR ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE AFTER BEING GONE FOR A ING CENTURY.

Oh no, these ones were in high-sec. They appear anywhere you can find an Unidentified Wormhole in your Overview, and that includes quite a few high-sec systems. If these things start roaming around like the Circadian Seekers do, you'd be well advised to GTFO every time you see one. They do NOT **** around. I support Keshava for Gallente Specialist HAV R.I.P.

No Incursion was currently active in that area. **** is starting to get weird. (The Dronelands are a set of regions where the only NPCs are Rogue Drones, meaning you NEVER see Sansha in that area for any reason. Sansha's Nation is the faction that has been using self-made wormholes to attack whole Constellations of solar systems at random points in New Eden since 2011.)

Unlikely but not impossible. Beyond the fact that we know the now suddenly exist....their actual purpose in New Eden is unknown, their numbers are unknown, beyond they significantly more advanced military capabilities no one knows how many their are or even if they have the numbers to mount terrestrial assaults. It would be truly terrifying if they somehow could strike at planetary targets as well. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven.
