I’ll blame bad fit I chose out of laziness. It was a rail fit and I wasn’t doing any damage. I may give it a second go with dual prop mods and blasters but I’ve developed aversity towards battleships a while ago so I’ll more likely go with a Deimos//Ishtar combo or Command BC’s. Eos was bad so far so I’m thinking Astarte/Nighthawk/Damnation.
Using VNI I plop out MTU orbit with prop off at 500m. My single repper is cap stable and easily tanks the site. Made average of 50m an hr and ran the site for a few hours. I wanted to beef up my agency drug stash so yea…worked well.
Wonder if stratios can run the sites with BS?
I have not seen any SARO drops. Then again, I’ve barely seen any accelerator drops…
Had 2 Basic, 3 Improved and 1 Advanced dropped during about 3h of running sites (though with a lot of downtime due to figuring out the right fit), must be around 20 bosses. Unfortunately the Advanced was the first I got in the first site I completed, and consumed. Didn’t expect them to be that rare.

whats the respaws rate for the event sites?
Looks like same frequency like last event, something 5-10min. Though there is no immediate respawn.

Has anyone ran the Operation: Drifter Interruption combat sites that you have to probe down first?

Yeah. Haven’t finished one yet though, still working on fits. Will attempt few later.

How difficult are they too run?
Tank wise not bad. BS is crazy fast so it’s hard to catch or track though.
Do any of them scramble?
Haven’t been scrambled by anything yet but I didn’t catch BS yet and that’s the one that’s supposed to scram.

I’m thinking a really fast locking T1 ship with webs. I am testing out a fast locking web Harbinger at the moment.
Hint. You can warp to the site at range. BS will chase You and its raster than the rest.

I have also noticed that with the Overview sites that if you warp into the site from a certain direction that you will land within 2,000 meters of the cruiser. If your ship is really fast locking you can get webs on the cruiser before it MWD’s out of range.
An optimal range script for drones might help as well.

the incomming DPS in the sigs should be around 300ish DPS if ou run after the BS.
In the escalation, 700 ish DPs seems more adequate.
just run after the BS, it will flee and the other rats won’t catch you. you need to have 1500+DPS to break him, a point to prevent him from warping away.
you need a 1760+ speed, he will scram you if <10km so you need to be faster than that. a vigilant can catch him, however not sure it can handle the dps easily.
I’ve done extensive testing and the whole game design around this ship is just broken af, I have no other words for it. There is simply no way the game will let you catch up with this ship without a web. When you’re catching it up with an oversized afterburner frigate that has clearly superior speed (2500m/s), the ship will suddenly “magically” jump away 10 km or so (not in a micro jump way) and keep you at that distance, even if the overview indicates it’s only going 1800 m/s.
There’s a subtle but very clear difference between designing a ship to be OP vs giving it over-the-top gamey/ cheaty, glitchy physics that simply don’t belong in the Eve universe. That’s just lazy and very bad game design.

That is pretty brutal and I hope it is not accurate. I ran this site “Conscious Interruption” - as per the title of this thread - with a Tengu and a Gila. It took about 30 minutes to clear out 50 frigates with the help of three other pilots with Gnosis and a Gila among others that came in and left. We salvaged all of the wrecks with a Noctis and had to bring in a hauler for all of the stupid damned Festival launchers for Citadels. Will likely reprocess all of them. They can be found for 1 isk all over the place. There did not seem to be any way of getting within 22km of the Hypnos Thyrannos Drifter Strike Cruiser and it normally stayed 35km away. As noted before it appears as if drones do little and then they lose target and attack local frigates.
The Hypnos Thyrannos Drifter Strike Cruiser dropped a Merlin skin. One of the most exciting times was wondering if someone would steal the loot from the Hypnos Thyrannos Drifter Strike Cruiser.
This even appears to be of greatest interest to people whom like to salvage tons of wrecks. Auto-targeting missiles will allow you to go make a sandwich or grab something to drink.

What do you mean by extensive testing?
Over 20 sites run (mix of cruiser and BS) I haven’t noticed anything like that, ever.
Cruiser is trivial do to with 2 people, BS requires 3 people or something pretty beefy with total of 900 DPS or more for reasonable completion time
@You_Said thermal
Also, launchers are useless, you cant reprocess them.
Cruiser is extremely easy with right fit with 2 people or easy enough with good skills on Thorax
