A few years ago a Terran superweapon (known as the 'nova cannon' which summarily wiped out an entire minmatar invasion fleet in one shot) was destroyed, its fuel source was a quantum entangled material known as isogen-5. Isogen is a common reactive material used in New Eden for warheads and reactors. Isogen-5 however was extremly rare only a special class of blue stars had it naturally. Your remote explosives are probably packed full of isogen.
Well as with all quantum entangled material works, you blow up one you blow all up. So when the terran super weapon was destroyed so was all the isogen-5 in the galaxy, the stars that had them pusled on a level so intensive it shattered New Eden cluster's space time fabric creating rifts that temporary pop in and out of existence aka 'Wormholes'.
Capsuleers quickly found out they can transverse a wormhole and go exploring in these new virgin systems. No star gates, no stations, no civilization. This caused a quite a few problems for those a bit too brave going into a system and the wormhole collapsed behind them, several pilots where literally lost for weeks on end. A few corps even began 'rescue' missions however that was not guaranteed as wormhole destination where just as unpredictable as their creation.
Anyways within these wormhole systems we find ruins of what was once an ancestral race to one of the four in new eden, the sleepers which apparently are ancestral to the highly advanced Jovians. while we found evidence of sleepers in the New Eden cluster its been mostly minor artifacts, like a book, or glass statue or something. We have never found intact stations... labs... colonies... bases like the ones we found in 'wormhole space'. As we continue to dig though a literal sleeper graveyard we found a few disturbing things.
1 They wiped themselves out in a horrible lab accident of sorts and locked themselves into deep quarantine.
2 That was eons ago, and even their cryrostasis technology isn't that good and their bodies did not last that long.
3 They set up watch dogs while they slept in cryostasis while they virtually reality researched a a cure for it while they slept.
These watch dogs are commonly known as sleeper drones (as opposed to drones pilots use and rogue drones that rebelled against the gallente) the size of eve online ships, they are extremely tough, intelligent, hit harder than most capsuleer ships ever can, they certain can out fly anything we have, and despite not having shields take alot of fire power to kill.

um... that's it,it's equip stuff, shoot at people. Boring.
I mean sure neat, new guns soon, pilot and support drop suit classes by 2 months ago. But what about the gameplay, can't you show you some work in progress? how does looking at the battlemap look? When will the hologram table show the map we are going to fight on? When can we fight in RTS mode. When will the vita app be released? Any news on anything ccp? : (
We've been waiting over 4 months now since you said "commander mode should be out next week!"
I mean seriously? That's your most recent news on the matter? Did you do that thing where you scrap and rebuild it from scratch? how can there be no eta 4 months after you told us to expect it :/
I have to back CCP 100% on this. They're doing what they should be doing, and it's exactly what we asked them to do: core fps mechanics, followed by controls. They're not there yet, and until our legion of fps whiners are singing 'hallelujahs' over the mechanics & fluidity of the controls & and the incredible 'feel' of the game I don't think they should take their focus off those topics.
And it makes sense not to say much about features in a closed beta - it avoids unnecessary restrictions on the dev team and pointless kitttenpoop storms on the forums. |

As for the game mode its been described as a co-op hunter & horde game.
Hunter as in you get to go find the queen popping out these mechanical freaks.
Horde as in if you don't the waves and waves get much tougher.
Also the waves are reactive, call down a tank and they will plop down some anti-vehicle drones next wave including suicidal sappers and drones that are the size of tanks themselves.
I also heard if your hacking skills are good enough you could turn a few of the drones against their former. |

Does anybody else think drones should be smart rather then there just being alot comeing at you.
I mean I want drones that can outsmart me not outnumber me.
Come on DRONES they even sound smarter then zombies. That is depends of the kind of drones. What about this? http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Cyclops A bomber interesting.  This would really complicate things on the ground.
That's why we'll need fighter jets :) |

That's fascinating info, Iron Wolf, I haven't seen reference to the hacking mechanic yet, but it's a great idea. |

all i really want for the drones, is not be push overs, i look to starship troopers (original film) as an example. if the smallest one should take a huge effort to kill and any slip up deadly. but a team that works well together can kill a whole horde no problem.
and these things should be imposing as hell. if you see one you should just think. aaawww hell how we going to kill that. rogue drones dont have to be that smart. (bit like the bugs) but in enough numbers and hard enough its more a game of. how the hell do we kill the hoard. better thinking. it should be a puzzle on how to do it and manage threat priority correctly. |

This is so mouthwatering.
I am a patient person but just talking about the Rouge Drones makes me feel like I am getting everything I want for chrismas but its 4 months away. |

They don't have to be smart, but could be. CCP can just start with dumb ones and as they make better ai just do a reskin and add a higher model number to them for the harder areas. Once Ai is good enough to be believable, we can have pve vs human factions. |

I suspect this info is from some brief chats with some devs in DUST closed beta chat channel in IRC. (I'm guessing here.)

Its a chat room basically existing before web-pages or aol became popular. Internet Relay Chat is what it stands for. |
