Since normal weapons will only generate a moderate amount of threat, it might prove to be difficult to exploit the Sleeper AI with only guns. | Since normal weapons will only generate a moderate amount of threat, it might prove to be difficult to exploit the Sleeper AI with only guns. | ||
However drones and special attacks like jamming and dampening might generate enough threat to force the Sleepers to switch their targets. This can be extremly usefull if a player wants to escape but is warp scrambled. | However drones and special attacks like jamming and dampening might generate enough threat to force the Sleepers to switch their targets.

Another tactic is to channel the attacks of the Sleepers on a single ship which is equipped with EWAR and a very good tank. However you should be carefull since the reaction of the sleeper can vary. While some try to escape the EWAR range other might actually come closer leading to problems because either the Sleepers fly out of range of your guns/drones or come so close that you might get problems with the tracking of your guns. | Another tactic is to channel the attacks of the Sleepers on a single ship which is equipped with EWAR and a very good tank.

Class 4 wormholes already call for a dedicated fleet of 5 to 6 battleships, while class 5 or even class 6 require a very rehearsed fleet with multiple dedicated EWAR, Logistic and Damage Dealer ships. | ||

You can of course try but the chance of failure in class 3 and 4 has to be proven very high when the fleet was not dedicated skilled and fitted for W-Space. | ||
Best course of action for class 3 and above seems a gang of battleships equipped with remote repair and energy transfer capabilities. | Best course of action for class 3 and above seems a gang of battleships equipped with remote repair and energy transfer capabilities. | ||

This can theoretically used to increase the outcome of a spawn if you and your fleet can survive the onslaught. | ||
