Famous billionaire killed on Calypso

Eccentric Earth collector Amerank Wackt was found dead in the water outside Fort Ithaca. The party of seventeen people seems to have been ambushed and the DNA structure was corrupted by some alien means. Wackt, famed Earth philanthropist, was on a visit to the Colony to view "its beautiful wildlife".
Some sources claim that Wackt really was on the run, as he was in possession of stolen contraband, a special and one-of-a-kind item, designed by the legendary Roman Ram. The item is believed to be a unique weapon of sorts, with performance never before seen. The expected price tag on the item is beyond anything else on Calypso. This strengthens the theory of foul play, as Roman Ram is famed for his fierce temperament.

EBN will follow-up on this report once a statement from the Federal Crime Specialist is available. Stay tuned for more information.

EBN UPDATE: The bizarre billionaire slaying

“The death of Amerank Wackt is strange”, Federal Crime Specialist Tamir Aghalla says. “We have noticed an increase in creature activity around the crime scene, and we are sure that this wasn’t an ordinary beast attack. Our creature behaviour specialists confirm this theory as well.”
She continues, “The only trace at the site were smudged wet Atrox tracks leading away inland. We haven’t been able to determine the age of the tracks yet, but the wetness indicates sea movement of some sort.”

According to other sources EBN have spoken to, the Atrox population seems increased, almost like being on an amplified development pace. This is alarming if someone indeed has been altering the DNA of the native Calypso creatures.

Earth authorities have as of yet no official response, but a Federal Investigation Response Emergency Squad is probably coming to Calypso in the near future.

EBN Report: New info

EBN caught up with the FIRE squad leader, Major Jac Carn, and managed to retrieve some information about the ongoing investigation in the case involving the death of Amerank Wackt.
“Mr. Wackt, an Earth citizen class one, was indeed killed by Calypso wildlife. We believe the attacker to be a band of so called Atroxes of a variety of maturity levels. The attackers seems to be afflicted by some sort of mutation though, however this cannot be seen when casually looking at the creatures.”

As to the collection of items Wackt allegedly carried, Major Carn explained. “Several items were recovered by the Seize and Rescue team first at location. However, one item is still missing, and the rightful owner, a Mr. Ram, is furious about this fact. We believe an Atrox who is lurking around in the wilderness, somewhere on Calypso, has eaten the item. As the time frame from the attack is quite long, the creature could be anywhere – your guess is as good as mine.”

At this time, Major Carn was pulled into a meeting with several other authority figures in Hadesheim, Eudoria. If we receive any further updates, we will immediately bring it to the public.

hehe nice story implementation there by mindark :)

unseen performance doesnt necessarily mean good performance though ;)
 
Roman Ram created several great weapons, such as the:
- Modified M71A2
- Adjusted M61A5
- Improved DOA Strikehammer

It appears as if this new unique weapon will be a shotgun though. Read the description of the Omegaton ASG-3 Warthog and you'll find out why I think it's a shotgun. ;)

The Warthog was such a success in military circles that a special version of the shotgun was created, by the legendary Roman Ram.

Short and simple...
Roman have created the Modified M71A2, Adjusted M61A5, Improved DOA Strikehammer and created a "special version" of the ASG-3 Warthog.
So, what'ya think?

It will never be worth more than a mod.fap unless its better range,damage and speed of a mod.dar and a damage per pec of 5.5 or more to even be considered valued similar as a mod.fap
 
Nice story by MA :) I like these reports, that things are happening in PE :)

I wonder what it is, and who will get it!
 
The TT value on the weapon will problably be extreme... There will be items with a TT value on 100k Ped, so I guess this weapon will have a TT value on atleast 10k. And, yeah... if it's really a shotgun, I'm not sure if it'll be worth that much, unless its a shotgun with a range on 40, better economy then the Imp Mk2 and a damage on 150, or something like that.
 
I wonder if some noob happens to find it and stuff to TT :silly2:
 
heh, I like these reports too, it's fascinating and interesting story :)

i wonder who finds it :)
 
How about where to find it ?

Laying on the ground ? naah, guess not.

Some mob on ithaca island ? Spidey guardian maybe as it is close to the waters ? Rippersnapper ?

Or did the corpse float all the way from Amethera and the weapon is to be found/looted on Amethera far from Ithaca Island ?
 
maybe performance will be unseens, but economy i think will be crapy. all new weapons become with bad damage/cost rating. even mod dar, mod mk2. i think dreaming about better economy weapon as imk2 is stupid :)
 
Very cool imo! I love these kinds of role playing reports... hopefully MA will be doing this more often! :girl:

And yes, i can't wait to see who finds it and whereabouts
 
These are the things MA should do indeed instead of quests :)
I love it, too bad I can't login for atleast 1.5 more weeks :laugh:
I'll just hope GD loots it :D
 
Very cool. I hope someone deserving gets it :)

I think it may quite possibly be superior to every other weapon in every aspect except for range. Since it's a unique item it won't unbalance the game too much even if it's far better than anything else.

Treasure Island is on Calypso right? ;)

yes, but TI might not be in the "item" category.

if this item is going to be worth more than TI....wow. :eek:
 
Would be rather funny if there is no real item... if this were just a fun story to add some excitement and get some ppl hunting more :laugh:

*Sveta- yes, I have a sick sense of humor ;)

I'm quite sure that the treasure island deed, which was sold for 265 000 PED is an item just like all the other estate deeds. But even if it's not, the client loader says "beyond anything else" not "any other item".
unless it's like 6 dmg/pec or can kill an uber in plated eon in one shot, and then another a second later, I don't think anyone will consider paying that much for one though. And unless it's a complete noob or someone very desperate for quick irl cash looting it I don't think it'd get sold at all if it's as good as it sounds ;)

how funny would it be if it had a super high TT value and someone just TTs it?

...MA finally puts a unique item in game and woosh...there it goes in the great Calypsian incinerator. :laugh:
 
The "Allogun" maybe ? :laugh:

AlloGun <--- Click

:laugh:

I was thinking something like that too... I'd see something like that as a follow-up :

"It's been discovered that Roman Ram was the murderer. Letting his violent temperament roams free after learning that his little last "toy" has been stolen, he's pursued Wackt to finally take him down on Calypso. The Federal Crime specialist are actually investigating on the whereabouts of Roman Ram. Stay tuned for more information."

And after sometimes, something like :

"Breaking news. Roman Ram discovered dead on Calypso! After some investigations, the Federal Crime Specialist succeed to follow the traces of Roman Ram only to discover his corpse half rotten in the swamps near Fort Troy. Evidences of Robots activities around the scene has been seen but the now famous item designed by Roman Ram has yet to be recovered."

I thinks it could be an interesting open story :yup:

*Oredin - Yes, i share the sick sense of humour and i've also a little bit of imagination when it comes to make ppl run all over Calypso for nothing ;)
 
I have thought about this. MA said revival chips was ingame 6months ago but they started dropping now so why the craze about a "unique" item to drop now? Might aswell be in VU.10 or something :rolleyes:

wouldn't the drop rate be proportional to the amount of mobs killed?

in other words, if the unique item is "in" a spider, and the spider has a hypothetical 1/100,000 chance of dropping the unique item...the more spiders that are killed the quicker the item is dropped. <---all theory.
