Escalation

Pop up message


"At first it seems strange the drones have picked this barren and resource deficient place to build a new hive. But then again, while you were blowing up the place, you noticed a few vessels that might have been used as transports, indicating the drones were pulling in the materials they needed from someplace else. As to compliment you on your reasoning, your communication systems start indicating several different incoming transmissions in drone beeps and clicks and after a while you manage to coerce your instruments into pointing out an approximate spatial origin of the message."


Location #1

Initial Spawn (All aggro on warp in)
5 x Raider Alvi (Frigate)
1 x Sunder Alvi (Frigate) (Trigger)
1 x Sentient Devilfish Avi (Commander Frigate)

3 x Devilfish Alvi (Frigate)
Reenforcement Wave 2 - spawns when bunkers are approached
4 x Raider Alvi (Frigate)
Reenforcement Wave 3 - spawns when Wave 2 is destroyed
2 x Sunder Alvi (Frigate)
Please note: Drone Bunkers may contain Alloys and Compounds when destroyed.


Escalation

Pop up message


"Most of the drones have been obliterated, but a few made it away. Luckily the average drone operates in part like a jukebox trying to play all its tracks repeatedly at the same time over the airwaves, relying on the other drones to filter out the information they need and disregard the rest. Therefore they are usually easy to find while within reasonable range and this time is no different. Your instruments concentrate on messages from one of the escaped drones and after having filtered through several thousand repetitions of electrical manuals for every hydraulic system built the last three hundred years this side of the Myridian Strip, the entire known literature on the theory of relativity recited three times and for some obscure reason a text on the effect of oriental gardening on the human condition played simultaneously on four parallel channels, they finally come across a new location."

"You notice that all of these cans bear the markings of the same space station. After checking in your databanks, you find that this particular station was destroyed decades ago and has remained deserted ever since. You retrieve the location..."

Pop up message


"As expected, the drones were busy turning this old station into a hive, which if they had succeeded would no doubt be spewing out innumerable copies of their kind to haunt this part of the constellation for years to come. You wonder if sentient machines can dream...If so, then this one is at least permanently broken."


Drone Cans may contain Rogue Drone Components used in Manufacturing and Production along with Tech 2 salvage, Minerals, Ores, Alloys and Compounds. Sentient Commander wrecks will usually give Tech 2 salvage. All wrecks will contain Alloys and Compounds.
