The Orbital Assault Begins
Yet another patch was rolled out and once again, the first week was marked by various hotfixes coupled with degraded performance. New content dubbed “The Orbital Assault Begins” and “New to System” are now live. The orbital assault adventure occurs on the long abandoned and recently rediscovered Hathor Orbital Laser(s) stations in orbit around Daymar and Aberdeen. This adventure strongly resembles the long forgotten “Theatres (sic) of War” effort of year’s past. Given that it is best played with a multi-faceted Org that can provide air cover for the ground logistic team’s mining operations.
The unique mining opportunities in this case consist of Jacium, Soldynium, and Carinite which are mined by hand or with the ROC.
While rare components and weapons await as rewards for the event, there is also a new resource in the verse. Stanton welcomes it’s first Banu to the economy. His name is “Wikelo”. I enjoyed meeting him. If you gift him various items he will make you rare items in exchange, including a fully functioning Polaris!
New to System
To introduce yourself to Wikelo he asks that you bring him some gifts including a Chile Birra Burrito, a can of PIPs Q66 soda and three(3) Tundra Kopian Horns. I have long since stop eating burritos as they fail to provide any discernible nourishment. The burritos and soda are commonly found at your favorite burrito stand. Check UCX for details.
Tundra Kopian Horns
Wikelo’s arrival in Stanton along with his request for gifts has been ruinous for the Kopian herds that once roamed microTech in abundance. You can spend hours scanning for these now rare creatures, or you can research the many vids proclaiming sure fire methods to find Wikelo’s first gift. It is easier to head to Data KH3 on microTech and then set your heading to 231 and start scanning.
Caution is advised as the Kopians have migrated to the relative safety of some very rocky terrain. When you land, make sure you can get back into your ship.
Once you’ve collected all three gifts you can head over To “Wikelo Emporium Selo Station. Your first reward will be an IAE 2951 hat along with an IAE 2952 t-shirt. Then check your mobi for more Wikelo missions.
It appears that Selo Station does not support logouts as I found myself back at home base.
