There are currently 3 tactics to take down Apollo, Artemis, and Hikanta Drifter battleships including their possible Autothysian Lancer and sleeper support:

* Capitals and a few subcapitals (e.g. Paladin, Abaddon) are able to tank the doomsday at full health. This requires a very blingy tank on the primary and a support fleet with dps and logi.

* A swarm of cheap high burst dps ships (with webs) will take a Drifter down easily, but lose at least one ship in the process.

There are groups organizing public fleets to run sites in wormholes:

* ~~The~~ ingame channel "Consortium Operations" runs ~~weekly~~ open fleets in Drifter wormholes with a doctrine ~~around~~ T3 ~~destroyers~~ (~~Confessors~~) ~~and T1~~ cruisers. These fleets are PvE focused and newbie-friendly. ~~The associated roleplaying~~ channel is "Arataka Communications Router".

* Arataka Research Consortium (ingame channel "Consortium Operations") runs intermittent open fleets in Drifter wormholes, with a doctrine of T3 Destroyers ([[Confessor]]s) various support cruisers. These fleets are PvE focused and newbie-friendly. ARC's lead corporation, IKAME, are also responsible for much of the research on Drifter activity and structures. ARC are also highly active in the roleplay community, and work out of the channel "Arataka Communications Router".

* ~~A group named~~ [http://vulfpeck.space ~~vulfpeck~~] runs fleets into C5/C6 wormholes and ~~runs sleeper sites including~~ Drifter ~~escalations~~. ~~They are open to any pilot and~~ use ~~a doctrine around~~ T3 ~~destroyers~~ (mainly ~~Confessor~~) ~~and T2 logistics (~~Guardians). Most Vulfpeck fleets focus on ISK making ~~and avoid PvP - although there are also NPSI PvP fleets~~.

* [http://vulfpeck.space Vulfpeck] runs public fleets into specific C5/C6 wormholes, to run Sleeper combat sites. These sites end in an escalation by Arithmos Tyrannos, a much larger and more dangerous Drifter battleship (although not equipped with a doomsday weapon). Vulfpeck also use T3 Destroyer doctrines (mainly Confessors), supported by Guardians. Most Vulfpeck fleets focus on ISK making, as hunting Arithmos Tyrannos can be very profitable.
