In a recent DEV Blog CCP provided initial stats on the interaction between Capsuleers and Drifters.

At the bottom of the blog CCP Affinity said “and we look forward to seeing how you tackle the next phase!”.
There was also another one of those “News” video’s released by CCP:

* Immediate edit – my mistake, it wasn’t CCP but a player that made this video. I presume the 70km comment is accurate.
It was interesting to note – and explains why I was attacked the other day, that the Drifter Battleships and Circadian Seekers have been seen to attack if you get within 70km of the unidentified structures and wormholes.
I wonder if when playing in 5 years time we will be remarking to newer players, I remember the time when the Drifters first appeared…
