We recently launched a new 'in-progress' feature. Check out the news about Outpost Abandonment here (http://www.neocron-game.com/announcements/feature-outpost-abandonment)!

Note: We have also now tweaked this feature (http://www.neocron-game.com/announcements/outpost-abandonment-timespan-increased).

So if you have 1 clan owning the map all the ops could be attacked at the same time?
(after 14 days)
What kind of Mutants would attack ?
Would a countdown of some form be added to see when this 14 days is up? maybe on the citycom
s that other clans can attack at the same time?

No, the mutants aren't that coordinated ;) all those Outposts would simply be added to the candidate pool. After a while the mutants would attack another Outpost.

The difficult kind! Expect a challenge if the mutant population takes your OP. :)

Mutants attack Outposts as their scouts pick OPs where they think no one is around. Outposts are not attacked if anyone is in the sector. Of course other clans are able to move in to clean up the mutants and claim the Outpost for themselves.

Napper - This "Clan" is only taking a few abandoned ops each day.

BTW - The THN Stats DB is already tracking this Mutant Faction Clan (http://stats.techhaven.org/clan/the-mutant-faction).

It would be good from NPCs to shout in Help channel when they are being over run in the OP. So that will also increase in pvp while everyone rush's to the OP.

Question can a LE guy attack and hurt these guys ?

Yes, they're standard mutant mobs found elsewhere in the gameworld.

As soon as an OP is overtaken, there is a server wide message announcing it. People did rush to the OP's in the past already :)

And a Copbot Clan with Zoltan as it's leader. Then he can ninja the op's in the middle of the night :p

Personally, i dont like the feature. The first time retaking an op from mutants was fun and all, but at the second or even third time, it became an unnecessary chore. When you log in neocron, for a hour or two in the evening, you don't want to waste your time with the ever same pve. You want to get your ops the old fashioned way. Look at the map. Since the feature startet i only have every seen 17th and RL taking ops from mutants. So, where are the people who like this feature? Please, start taking ops, because we have enough of this chore.
