I actually had a closer look. The structure is completely hollow. Actually, there is no structure at all, you can fly straight through it. It's just textures floating in space.

The Jove is a lie

destiny balls ? like, an intangible object ? Like those ruined station models which you can fly into, because their collision boundaries are so much smaller than their apparent size ?

Or something else ?

However, despite their low dps, I cannot overstate what a seriously huge tank these have. It takes my 1075dps Machariel around 5 minutes per ship.

 

Perhaps we should not have pissed them off. I really hope that CCP somehow get these things to clean up POS in w-space.

Something I think would be fun is; Your POS is safe unless you attack any sleeper in w-space, don't kill them, and warp to your POS. So whatever you spawn and attack follows you. Even escalation ships.

That could potentially make farming somewhere other than home more viable than staying home and keeping the exits closed.

[Gaven Lok ri]

Seems like what would end up resulting is using deathstar poses to farm, rather than farming farther from home.

[Esna Pitoojee]

Hey, at least starbase defense operation would be a relevant skill again. /bitter

Seriously though, it seems the solution to this would be to have them able to absolutely wreck your POS mods before leaving, making it a viable but costly escape method.

Can you say "ouch"?

That's interesting. I wonder if the damage is signature related, because a hit of 1.2k isn't honestly that threatening to a BS.

[Samira Kernher]

That was before the buff.

This is how it is now.

Note: Bastion mode was on.

[kalaratiri]

Ahahahaha oh wow. That damage buff. Even the standard guns are now hilarious. It also looks like they've had their ehp slightly lowered, at least on the blue shield.

[Morwen Lagann]

I eagerly await the incoming wall of lossmails.

Faction Description:
"Emerging from the ruins of the Sleeper civilization spread throughout Anoikis - otherwise known as "W-space"- the Drifters represent a tremendous challenge and perhaps a dire threat to the empires and capsuleers alike.
Seemingly the inheritors of a legacy left behind by some of the most ancient Jove, the Drifters are unafraid to wield tremendous power in response to any who get in their way. In this regard, the Drifters are a very different conundrum than the relatively benign presence that was the Jove Empire."

Corporation Description (Vigilant Tyrannos):
"CONCORD intelligence reports indicate that Drifter military formations are operating under a single command structure represented by an enclave level organization with the designation "Vigilant Tyrannos". Despite monitoring the movements of ships broadcasting the identifier of this organization, no further information as to the motivation or goals of this force has been gleaned."

Race(?) Description:
"By all appearances and indications the Drifters are members of the Jove race, albeit far removed and with a strangely altered physiology. The high degree of cybernetic modification that the Drifters exhibit seems to go hand in hand with an implacable single-mindedness and utter ruthlessness while pursuing their mysterious goals. Whatever their ends may be, the technology at their command unquestionably rivals and perhaps even surpasses that which other Jove have been seen to use."

[Aelisha]

Drifters are comin' fo' yoooooooou.

I really hope these do not get watered down into easily farmable content. I think Eve needs some seriously hard, adaptive, evolving npc's.

Plucking lore threads from the air I hope they go with either "the other" creating an army to squash New Edens empires (both npc and pc) or The Sleepers really awakening and figuring out that we (current New Eden inhabitants) screwed up their plans of re-connecting the Eve Gate to Sol by igniting their Isogen 5 storage sites before they were supposed to.

If these turn in to belt rats or even the next "skin" on incursions I'm gonna be really disappointed.
