More often than not, they will give you some substantial bang for your buck and will require player gang coordination and effort to be dispatched. More details are left for another Dev Blog, but at the moment, know they have comparable player attributes and thus require variations of PvP fits to engage.

The Sleepers are only the beginning of an effort to slowly ramp up the enemy artificial intelligence in the game. สล็อต At first only the Sleeper and Officer spawns will be getting an upgraded A.I., but developer CCP is สล็อต looking to slowly ramp up intelligence across the board, making for a slightly more difficult but ultimately more enjoyable gameplay experience.
