These appear to be cruiser sized scout drones that operate in groups of four or five and scan all installations and ships in New Eden. They appear in all systems that have Jove Observatories in them and are generally not hostile unless attacked. There are exceptions to this: if you're near a Jove Observatory or a [[Wormholes#Known_Space_to_Drifter_Wormholes|Drifter Wormhole]] and Autothysian Lancers or Drifter Battleships show up, they are likely to aggress you if you don't leave quickly. Once this happens, the drifters in that system can aggress you anywhere. [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/212103929-Autothysian-Lancers-and-Drifters]

When engaged they usually warp in another wave of Autothysian Lancers but there is also a chance a drifter battleship will warp in. Note that they - unlike other NPCs - will pod players.

They do about 76dps (EM/Thermal) at ranges up to 100km, have about 10kHP with high resists (73%-85% shield resists, weakest is EM). Their max speed is 1240m/s and they try to orbit at 10km.

Because of their sturdy tank but relatively moderate dps, they can e.g. be hunted in active tanked cruisers with short range weapons equipped with a web and a prop mod.

*Tip- The Autothysian Lancers will continue to aggress you until they destroy your ship, if you accidentally engage them and survive the initial encounter board a cheap frigate and let them destroy it, this will clear you off their aggro table.
