BREAKING NEWS: Scott & Barlow Cargo ship shot down!

From press conference at ACA HQ

Director Bishop: Calm down! I will take your question first Mr. Dee

Reporter Dee: Thank you Director! Can you confirm that the Scott & Barlow cargo ship 602 has been fired upon and forced to make a controlled crash landing?

DB: Yes, we can confirm that. At this point we don’t know who or why the 602 has been fired upon. We don’t know how many survived the landing. We are calling in the IFN reserve to go up to the area and scout for survivors and secure the site.

RD: You have already answered the question “Who?” and “Why?” but would it be too farfetched to assume that the Smugglers are behind the attack?

DB: We don’t like to speculate about it, but we will find out in time who is responsible for this. The perpetrator behind this hideous act endangered the whole planet. We are just lucky that the 602 was not put in such bad condition that it couldn’t land in a controlled way. Mrs. Narang, you are next.

RD : Can you advise what has happened to the contents of the ship?

DB : We believe the contents of the ship have been scattered across the planet.

Reporter Narang: Thank you, Sir! One of my sources, who also witnessed the attack in space, has informed me that the missile seemed to come, and I quote; “out of nowhere”. What is your comment on that ?

DB: I have no comment on that at this point.

I am aware that there are people that do not like to go in to lootable pvp and there are people at work not able to login.

I have therefore done a quick video of the area just so you can see what it is like and then decide if you want to team up in the area It would also be cool to get a Team of people together to take these on at some point - unfortunatly I wont be around until sunday at the earliest as I have RL Commitments.

Good Luck to those hunting these Smugglers Sorry that i seam to use my tp chip and things but I need to sort out my hot keys too ;P as have F1's mapped to items on EU and have Nvidea Setup as same keys ;(

Spoiler

 

Really you can put MS deeds, Planet Deeds, Billions of PEDs, there''s no way I step in to pvp and pay for it.

 

Wasn't Arkadia supposed to be the non-pvp planet?

 

It used to be but tbh Ark lootable pvp is deserted been mining that lootable pvp area for about a year and half and still have my original toxic shot never see anybody barely even check anymore lol.

 

That's the spirit, pvp should be indoors like ones on cyrene. Short pvp history, 2 friends like pvp join a game, one looses a lot and leave game, other QQ to game management that no ones loves pvp, here born forced pvp.

 

Its cool that A-Team bring all those weapons(L) as gift for pkers.
Btw is there any pker on ark lootable pvp except miners and how many?
5% of ark players or less?

 

Except they drop from normal mobs as well, according to what I read in #arkadia

 

King-Pin then you are a lucky man cause even if its almost empty i have average 2-4 kills each month

 

Is that now a permanent Smugglers spawn in PvP?
Or is this temporary for this occasion, and after this the Smugglers will again be an Event mob (in AU)?

 

This is a new smuggler type - Ranger. So guessing it is permanent for now.

 

Oh, a new Smuggler type dedicated to PvP?
Hehe, seems that the people who asked for something new for PvP got their wish granted.
Guess now we wait and see if it will increase the activity in the toxic zone.

Thanks for the info. When they're different types, the chance that the (normal) Smugglers will still be in (non-PvP) Events is likely bigger. Yay!

 

I assume we would see these new guys added to the spawns during a smuggler event.

 

lol as it goes you was my very first victim in ark lootable pvp when i had my marber bravo plasma inhalator
