Encounters with these ships have revealed several unique mechanics related to them alone. One such mechanic is that of an "overshield" - an additional layer of shielding coloured blue on the targeting display. When this blue shield has been depleted, target locks on the Drifter break, in the manner of ECM. Many have also reported that the Drifters' weapons deal massive amounts of damage, difficult for any sub-capital ship to tank without a specialised fit. Even capital ships are not immune, with many carriers being lost to Drifters, many by players attempting to test their capabilities. It has been stated by CCP that the Drifters will not drop loot. | |||
If you are attempting to take down a Drifter, a recommended tactic is to have a ship with a powerful active tank, such as a Marauder or Command Ship. Then, use a carrier to assign fighters to the ship, and use these to kill the Drifter. Another viable tactic is to fly a fast, long ranged ship. Many have reported success with this tactic, as the Drifters' weapons appear to have a maximum range. | |||
