    From the announcement it seems they may be available as mission or event rewards. Any sightings of melee amps on ark yet?

    It's a good question. I suspect Dave will put the UL ones in an event soon. They should be common just as the BLP/laser amps are common. My though though is that most melee weapons are fragile or below average. Add an amp to that, I can't imagine the economy of the weapon. But I am looking forward to the Evil Melee amp. I just hope they release BPs for these.

    Melee weapons are fragile because it has to be to offset not buying ammo. I can with only a few enhancers make my sulfury 3dpp... which is what I use on small otourgis. I'm extremely interested to see if these amps will allow me to push well over 3dpp.

    I just hope they are better than the E amps.

    Bump for melee amps... on Caly they have discovered two UL melee amps, one +4 and one +20 damage. As I understand it they're available from an NPC and they look like very good eco too. I assume Ark has the same amps to give out...

    Available from an NPC for sale, or as a mission reward?

    Those who have the details are not sharing them but it involves turning in samples to a mission broker in certain combinations. Doubtless the precise info will be published once the samples no longer drop.

    So Caly has melee amps I, IV, and VI... which sounds a lot like the situation with the athena amps. This leads me to believe that Ark's amps are probably II, III, and V. Maybe RT will get one, but I am doubtful about that. The question is when... will we have to wait for the migration to end before we can see them?

    We got a lot of missons for mutated mobs wich are not introduced jet.
    Thats one of possibilities - mutated mobs or AAkas or some oratan event.

    Doubt you have to do mutated to pick up one of these amps, but I am sure we will know soon enough.

    I am assuming that the same people that get to allocate the UL Melee amps are the same ones that allocated the stables between planets, which was:



    So I doubt Arkadia will get 3 of their own.

    We shall see. Amps don't have anything to do with stables but they are similar to the athenas in that caly has the exact same numbers (I, IV, VI) as Ark got Athena amps. Could be coincidence. I think with the stables, there needs to be one on each planet for taming purposes. MA doesn't treat all planets alike in terms of events tho, for example, they didn't even let cyrene have their TEN event, and these amps are so far tied to the caly event.

    Caly's dropping more with Halloween Mayhem.

    Can Arkadia release some?
