Dear CCP,
As the Triglavian invasion story has come to an end, could you please bring back the Drifter/Sleeper content and their story? I’ve given it a lot of thought from both a lore and ingame content perspective and I believe it is a logical and solid fit to continue the development of the setting within EVE Online.
If we consider the setting as an ongoing story/novel, we have seen the introduction of the Drifters / Sleepers followed by the introduction of the Triglavian Collective and EDENCOM. They all have different backgrounds and objectives and have had a solid introduction. A logical and good way to follow this up is to start having them interact with eachother. It is something that will give the lore enthusiasts more to discover and figure out and it allows for new content to be created and existing content to be extended upon in all parts of EVE.
The Drifters / Sleepers have shown up in Wormhole space, Null sec, Empire space and Pochven. They have proven to be very aggressive and pose a big challenge in all of EVE. It is something that people can interact with, regardless of where in EVE they are active and it allows for both EDENCOM and Kybernauts to participate without getting locked out of (future) content.
The game can use the challenges that were introduced with the different conduits from chapter 1 and 2 and the world ark proving ground from chapter 1. The game can also use more reasons to explore/interact within Empire space, Pochven space, the Drifter Hive’s and Wormhole space. I deliberately leave null sec out of it as they got hit way to hard by the Drifters in the recent past and I believe that null sec will create it’s own content.
Having said that, bringing back the Drifter/Sleeper content and picking their story back up can also serve as a good way to collect more data to look into options of the different Pirate factions making their move against the Empires or eachother. It would certainly create a lively universe with a lot of options to ease the transition from Empire space into other parts of New Eden and their content.
