I beat you too it!

Search next time Bertha! :silly2:


Located between the Eudoria and Amethera continents, this island group is conveniently segmented into eight distinct land areas which can be administered individually by the owner. Each land area is complete with its own hunting lodge, fertilizer station, and revival terminal.

The islands are inhabited by a number of indigenous species, and fish will be found in the surrounding waters. As part of the purchase two special species DNA will be provided for the owner to breed. The estate's minerals and enmatters will also make it an attractive destination for miners. The owner will have full rights to set individual tax levels on each of the land areas, generating daily revenue from visiting hunters and miners.

The main island is divided into three large land areas, with each of the other five areas spread over the remaining islands. The main island also contains a large historic dwelling complex. Once the last bastion of human resistance during the first Robot War, and later a smugglers hideaway, the cliff-face complex has been fully renovated and now offers shopping and residential areas, a jetty for water borne visitors, landing pads for aircraft, a hangar, a direct teleporter to other locations on Calypso, as well as revival, storage, trade and society terminals.

The property will be available for viewing from December 7, with the official auction beginning on December 13 and lasting until January 3.

They must be planning on some quite high bidding, lol.

Wonder if the shops will show up on the initial auction or if they'll be part of the main LA buy that the LA owner will then need to sell off or keep for themself? Also wonder how many item slots are in those rent fee places?

2 special species DNAs for breeding: Scipulor and Sumima

Most likely the current spawns will be turned to shit so the owner can rake in taxes :(

The Sumima spawn is shit already :D But yeah, I hope they don't mess with the existing spawns. I would think it'd be quite easy for the owner to choose a DNA setting that's different to the Amethera spawns and will attract a lot of hunters without the old spawns needing to be nerfed (Big Sumima? All-Young Scips without Formidon?)

Well, if I paid a lot of money for those dna on Medusa, I'd expect at least one of the 2 spawns of scip to be nuked, and sumima deleted or severely neutered. Otherwise there's not much point to those dna.

I bet the two new missions will be scip and sumi as well.
 
Any idea how to figure out exactly how big 35 square kilometeres is on the map? ^^
 

Yeah, give me money for suggesting this exact thing! :cussing:

EDIT:

Sounds very much like my idea for how Athena Spaceport should look :silly2:

They totally should call those islands "Nighthawks Ideas Merged" :beerchug:

Well, 1 point in the coords is 1 meter

The land of Amathera + Eudoria is a total of about 1500-1700 square kilometers
 
Basically what im wondering is will it be one server area, or bigger.
 
Is this more of the same, but bundled in 1 package ? Or am I missing something ?

Server is 8x8 or 64 square kilometers. So this is slightly less than one half normal server area. Which is probably caused by the surrounding sea needing to fit on the same server. So the land area covers about 6km x 6km if crunched together and would leave ~1km sea to surround it on all sides.

Probably less in practice, but it would be rather unreasonable if there wasn't any. If there would be 500m of sea on all sides, the maximum land area in the middle would be 49 sq. km. But as it is made up from island its necessarily less. 36/49 = 73% is a bit low for the Medusa map, but maybe there is a bit more surrounding sea there.

Can't wait to get there already - surely it should be open for exploration soon?

I`m afraid of that also. On top of this, there are 2 Iron Challenge missions which I presume will be for scipulor and summima and same as the CP missions, will be specially targeted towards boosting income for the buyer. It`s very likely that summima and scip will be removed from the tax free areas.:(

One server area is about 8x8km. So it looks to be 1 server area with the rest water.

Wish i could afford it, that looks like a nice land area. Its going to go for a LOT of ped...

And then one day the buyer will sell the LA-s and the new owner will kill the DNA and we will be left with two more mobs missing.
 
I've got to add that I do like the whole idea, sounds like a great piece of land to own and play on. If only they'd given the area 2 completly new mobs it would be ideal.

FPC, there's still time to make a couple of new mobs :)

yeah, I agree ... same DNA as existing sounds a bit cheap :girl:

Yeah it`s easy fix actually. Apply same strategy as with trooper - legionaire. Pick old mob and give it a new paintjob and voila you got yourself a new mob.

Paint scipulor black and make it ninja scip and paint summima red and make it lobster bird or something.

As I said above I think there's a lot of point to them even with the existing spawns intact, especially with the Iron Challenges which I agree are almost certain to be Scips and Sumima. Assuming they are, loading the place with minimised maturity Scips and Sumima will make them a much better mission location than Oshiri for those who want to do the missions as quickly as possible, and I'm sure would attract a lot of hunters for that reason. They'd also be more accessible to lower-level hunters which will also help to generate income.

If anything has to change then I'd suggest that thinning out the big Scips a bit is the least intrusive option, though there are a number of people who hunt there a lot who might disagree.

Perhaps the key thing is that prospective buyers need to know what the deal is here in advance. Hanne could you comment on the plans you have for the Amethera spawns?
 
Holy moly what a big amount of stuff for someone to win the bid of O.O

the rent free shops is wow O.O

Actually:

· Indigenous species. The spawn locations of these species may be changed once by the owner, and spawns may be removed but not added to.

This gives me the impression they're not talking about sumimas or scips. By indigenous, i suppose it's mobs you will only ind there.

BTW, this will go for a minimum of 2 million PED easy.
 
I expect 5 out of 8 of these islands will be mining only.

Except for the two DNAs given by FPC, what other DNAs will the owner have access to besides merp? The owner will likely make 1 island a merp land, since the DNA's so cheap and there's a mission for it.

But after that, the DNA options are seriously short.
 
Won't be so wow if they only have 10 item points, lol.

yes its still wow because 2k peds buy you 20 more item points sooo worth on a rent free shop
