I couldn't hope to tank that much, gotta split/separate/kite/warpout to get it done in the cheap ship. The heavy missiles are still the best thing I've found for DPS, probably because that's the only weapons system I have serious amounts of skill points in. I do use drones as a sort of damage sponge sometimes -- when the Sleepers focus on my drones, there's a lot of DPS that isn't hitting me, and I can use the reprieve to kill something (especially battleships, when I'm in a Drake) that I couldn't hope to kill otherwise at all.

Tank held steady with as much as 2 sentries, 4 cruisers and 16 frigs however drones are a non-viable dps form against sleepers, they primary them almost instantly, especially heavies Just ran the anomoly you mentioned on Tranq today in a fairly expensive t2 fitted ishtar. just goes to prove more isk != faster sleeper pwnage as i was unable to even complete the site.

Oh well, ill have to see if any of this loot i got was worth the battleship my group lost in the end :( True, Marlenus, but whenever the devs put something shiny into the game, there’s always someone out there making a couple billion isk a month who wouldn’t mind spending a lot to be the first with a tech 3 ship (or in this case, be the first to get the tech 3 components to build a tech 3 ship).

There's a lot of uncertainty in the industrial community about whether the game is worth the candle. Which is to say, it's not certain that T3 ships are spiffy enough to command enormous prices. They might be, but it's far from clear at this point. Everybody -- I'm glad you found this helpful! Easy there, 3d.

I'm looking forward to trying W-space for myself, getting some of those Tech 3 components just after the patching finishes and selling them for ridiculous prices :) Nice mission report on the sleeper npc’s.
