The same gimmick that applies to Rogue Drone Battleships also applies to Drifter battleships, albeit even easier to exploit, which can greatly benefit afterburner-focused cruisers; if the pocket happens to spawn an '''Ephialtes Lancer''', the battleship will follow it in orbit and as a result move closer to you, making it significantly easier to get under its guns and save a lot of stress. This does not work with any other Sleeper/Drifter cruiser types. | The same gimmick that applies to Rogue Drone Battleships also applies to Drifter battleships, albeit even easier to exploit, which can greatly benefit afterburner-focused cruisers; if the pocket happens to spawn an '''Ephialtes Lancer''', the battleship will follow it in orbit and as a result move closer to you, making it significantly easier to get under its guns and save a lot of stress.

Drifter cruisers all use some form of EWAR in addition to dealing damage, but they also have large signature radii and are thus easy to finish off. | ||

The Sleeper drone battleship (Lucid Deepwatcher) | Every [[Sleepers|Sleeper drone]] is equipped with remote repairers, so it is best to kill smaller ships first, as they die before repairs land. In addition to damage, they will also use webs and energy neutralizers. The Sleeper drone battleship (Lucid Deepwatcher) spawns alone in T1 and 2, in pairs in T3 and 4, and in trios in T5 and 6. It deals rather high damage, but has very poor tracking (worse than the Drifter battleship). Its fire can easily be evaded with a sub-10km orbit, though it has some of the strongest tank of any Abyssal enemy and usually kills via stalling the timer out for a long time. | ||
Sleeper drones fire EM/Thermal turrets (and the cruisers have irritatingly high tracking and range), and Kinetic/explosive missiles (with poor flight speed and application). | Sleeper drones fire EM/Thermal turrets (and the cruisers have irritatingly high tracking and range), and Kinetic/explosive missiles (with poor flight speed and application). | ||

They use Entropic Disintegrators to deal high Thermal and Explosive damage. As each ship's damage will slowly increase the longer it stays focused on one target, Triglavian rooms can quickly become DPS or range-control races, to either kill their high-damage ships before they can kill you or to kill their tackle ships and fly beyond their damage range. | ||
