| Of interest when searching for them is the fact that, same as other Drifter vessels, __they do not show up in d-scan__—and neither can they be pinpointed with combat probes, according to various sources. So the only way to find them is to travel to the multiple locations they are known to visit, and look for them on the **Overview** once on-grid. | Of interest when searching for them is the fact that, same as other Drifter vessels, __they do not show up in d-scan__—and neither can they be pinpointed with combat probes, according to various sources.

| When destroyed, each **Autothysian Lancer** will drop 4 units of //**Sleeper Data Library**// as blue loot, worth 2 million ISK in total; and there is a chance of obtaining a single unit of //**Antikythera Element**// roughly one-quarter of the times. Salvaging their wrecks, on the other hand, will only occasionally yield //**Metal Scraps**//, but no other salvage materials. | When destroyed, each **Autothysian Lancer** will drop 4 units of //**Sleeper Data Library**// as blue loot, worth 2 million ISK in total; and there is a chance of obtaining a single unit of //**Antikythera Element**// roughly one-third of the times.

While Drifters will not follow into other systems, they will resume their chase if a target returns to the system after it had left.// | > //[...] once a Drifter does attack for whatever reason, it will chase its target relentlessly through the system and once destroyed, all traces of the target will be eliminated, including its wreck as well as the capsule of the pilot.

| Besides any reinforcements the Drifters involved in the attack may summon, no other Drifters present in the system will join the chase at first, but they will shoot on sight from then on until the next downtime. The same is applicable to any new groups of roaming Lancers which may respawn, although it shall be emphasized that the hostilities with the Drifters from a given system won't have any effect on the interactions with other Drifters elsewhere. That is to say, the **Autothysian Lancers** in a system where no acts of aggression against any Drifters took place since the last downtime will remain peaceful unless provoked. | Besides any reinforcements the Drifters involved in the attack may summon, no other Drifters present in the system will join the chase at first, but they will shoot on sight from then on until the next downtime–or until they succeed in destroying the offending player, although what ships would qualify to reset the aggro is unclear.

| If a reinforcement wave does indeed appear, it may include [[http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=34495|Drifter battleships]] or [[http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=47459|cruisers]]. Make no mistake: for all practical purposes, the latter are only marginally less deadly than the former. Either will deliver very high damage outputs at very long ranges; point, web and neut at extreme distances; and enjoy an overshield which, in case of being depleted, will trigger a shot from a superweapon which will obliterate any subcapital ship other than a carefully crafted marauder. Under normal circumstances, the only way to survive such an encounter would therefore consist on being already aligned and immediately entering warp as they land. | If a reinforcement wave does indeed appear, it may include [[http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=34495|Drifter battleships]] or [[http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=47459|cruisers]].

| <alert type="info">**DISCLAIMER:** as of the time of writing, no reinforcement waves have been observed during or immediately after an engagement with groups of **Autothysian Lancers** in high-sec, despite the old reports about them. This may have been an actual change introduced as part of a patch, or just a coincidence if their rate of occurrence is low, but act nonetheless as if they could indeed appear to avoid unnecessary losses.</alert> | <alert type="info">**DISCLAIMER:** as of the time of writing, no reinforcement waves have been observed DURING an engagement with **Autothysian Lancers** in high-sec, despite the old reports about them. Very rarely, another group of Lancers escorted by Drifter cruisers will show up AFTER the last ship in the original group was destroyed, tho. These may just be an independent, respawned fleet that happened to warp to that particular landmark first, as part of their normal roam, rather than a reinforcement wave proper; but they'll in any case attack as expected following the earlier act of aggression against the former group. Still, it is strongly advised to act as if a reinforcement wave could indeed appear at any time to avoid unnecessary losses.</alert> |
