Well, I have made my own observations and came to following conclusions:
Drifters represent a mediocre threat.
As for the others:
Gallente represent a major threat.
ARC represents a minor threat.
I hope you will find it useful. Have I missed any other ‘other’ you were interested in?
Imagine, viewer, if any of us were to call Kim a mediocre threat.
You mean imagine the humiliation that comes from drastic over-estimation?
Respectfully, ma’am, right now I’d rate her a major threat to the focus and point of this thread, only because nobody will let her have the last word.
Can we refocus, please?
Agreed!
Drifters! Cruisers! Damaged Observatories!
What is the answer here people…Tell me, (I’m gonna bet if i scroll up far enough I’ve seen this already suggested) has anyone tried enotsising with the structures since their next stage of decay?
Agreed, and apologies to the rest of the group. I tried to stay civil, I really did.
I didn’t.
Are you a Drifter?
…
■■■■, have i been mislead this whole time?
The whole time i’ve been helping ARC hit those Drifter fleets i was under the command of another Drifter?!
Son of a ■■■■■! This is unacceptable! @Makoto_Priano take off the mask!
I drift through the universe, am i a drifter too? 
From my experiences, ARC is not a threat of any caliber. To grade them as such is a disservice.
Winds, but you get so angry.
Edit; in any case, pilots, back to the matter at hand. We’ve continue to see standard reinforcement of Lancer patrols and harvesting operations with Cassandras and Orions. Additionally, since the deployment of the Orion, we’ve witnessed wholesale provision of Orions to aid the damaged Drifter battleship fleets.
Have the Orions been as aggressive as the Cassandras? (Assuming initial reports on Cassandra aggression have held up over time?)
I’m not sure the reports were terribly accurate to begin with, Ms. Jenneth. I assume pilots in question had assumed that there’d be no consequence for hunting Lancers, and even a slight delay in lethal consequence broke the chain of action from their perspective.
We’ll see how it develops, of course.
well, I reported a few days ago some reports of capsuleers being attacked by Cassandra tyrannos with “infraction” that were previously not considered as “shooting worthy”.
sadly I do not have time to investigate further.
There have been cases of Cassandras attacking without any apparent provocation, but it’s difficult to say for certain.
They still drip in from time to time, so even taking into account that the Cassandra’s/Orions escort the Lancers & protect them, they do seem more aggressive then the battleships.
Still not a common event.
As Varren pointed out, it can be they react on a trigger, but what that one is, I have no clue.
Fascinating thread!
Given the reports of attacked parties, it seem that they simply have a broad sense of “defensive” behaviour.
Aka considering mere precense near a JO or targeting drifter related ships as enough reason to open fire.
Has it been reported truly not “provoked” attacks?
The two attacks I personally observed were on a gate. There have also been reports of mining ships attacked in belts.
