> I cannot find info one way or another but keep hearing they will come into your missions and destroy you and will also show up in high sec ice belts in addition to the normal static belts in system. Is this true where is the info on this? Also was told they attack player citadel too without mechanic and can destroy them in less than 15 minutes even if your invuln timer is not active. Wow. This seems nuts.

> They are sending raids of 4 Punishers out through the belts shooting everyone. They also attacked an Athanor in the system during its vulnerability window. If you warp to the FOB at 100km away, it neuts you 1500 GJ at a time, hitting for 3000-4500 GJ drain. And defensive Omens warp to you within seconds of arrival.

appears missions and probed down sites are safe (some dispute on the latter, ran into one person claiming he was attacked at a hacking site) ; anywhere else the threat is real. They tend to give you a brief safety delay, if you are active and aware, they let you escape. afk or abandoned equipment are destroyed. They will pod you either soon after ship destruction or up to 2 minute delay (see killboard). Good luck.
