Very much real, check out the 6th picture in Ark site's gallery.
did this mission ever come out for UL set of smuggler?
I have been asking Dave not to bind it, but he is determined it will be bound so if your set has crap TIRs you are stuck with it
As far as i understand it the smugglerr amor is supposed to drop in te warehouses but only 1 piece as everr been discovered.
