TOPICS

Raznaborg Damaviks – a foreshadowing

1. Exonfang status update
   1. Recon Damaviks started appearing on August 14, first kill just after downtime
   2. Disappeared briefly from Aug 20 17:14 – Aug 21 18:41, came back renamed as “Raznaborg” Damaviks
   3. The Raznaborg Damaviks appear in random non-invasion systems in high sec, and warp between asteroid belts, capsuleer citadels/engineering complexes/refineries, planets, and moons, in gangs of 1-5 Frigates. They’ll go to engage any capsuleers within ~120km of them on grid.
   4. You can hunt them with DSCAN for ~50-100m/hr, assuming you’re killing and finding them quickly.
   5. They do not have any way to lock players down at the moment, so warping away is a safe way to avoid them
   6. They seem to stick to the same systems for the entire day. Changing systems at downtime.
   7. Mostly killing AFK players or bots currently.
   8. What does this mean? There will be risk if you mindlessly AFK in HS. If you’re present, you should have time to warp off if they land on grid, or warp off when you spot them on dscan depending on the ehp of your ship.
2. Ashterothi on what this means for the future
