Enjoy the easter weekend :)

Nice. I like the article about weapon training from CA. I wonder if it will be related to anything ingame.

mmmm, yes, an informative article. I'm eagerly awaiting my return to Neocron City to root out stuff.

And the deal with warbots is very well known, its in the history books.

I assume some CityAdmin clans will take up the training courses. I especially am curious in some knife-fighting... I should get some stilettos made in advance... at least get a two-slotter for modding.

I'm interested in that recycle drive, great stuff. And I was so surprised to find out that Warbots are just some "mechs suits" ? o_O

I wouldn't trust those HEW buggers further then you can throw them*. They'll probably use all your junk just to try and take over Neocron City!

*That doesn't count for GenTanks.

Great Neocronicle, but how much of this will we actually see in the game? I remember some time ago that Protopharm was looking for Mutated Limbs, but the NPC for that was never spawned.
I love to participate in this kind of things, but I need to know what to do exactly...

And are they going to recycle things? They can start with the junk that is sold in the shops. I still don't understand why all the shops are selling poor quality weapons but are advertising with "best quality equipment".

Just remember that things like the Neocronicle don't always have to influence the players at all times, they need to present atmosphere. They need to explain the world around the players and to make them feel as though they're part of something bigger. The city of Neocron is supposed to have a large populace, and the players only make up a chunk of it.

As to HEW selling crappy weapons, maybe theres a trade regulation. Since the possesion of weapons is hard to control if the standard market only sells crappy weapons, then there's a good chance that the City Admin and NCPD would have to go up against crap weapons.

Translated for heavyporker:

Nice issue, and looks like HEW is profiting from the increase in recycle/salvage skill use. I noticed a while ago I no longer need a very high recycle skill to salvage basic weapon parts out of junk weapons. the recycle rate isn't super, but its better then it used to be.

I so hope they do something fun with the Warbots. It would be sweet if runners could hack active WB and use them as temporary armor/vehicles. The only problem is trying to stop the damn WB from going hostile at the hacker. :confused:

The Server specific articles are wrote by people who play on that server and are happy to spend a little of their time by writing something based on their server. If nothing comes in from Uranus the only people to blame are the Uranus players.

This is not just KK's or Callash's Neocronicle, it is the communities.

(I feel like I am repeating myself or something......oh wait, I am!)

Our various departments in Phoenix have noticed a drop in Warbots in the north wasteland sectors.

However since the reported findings are by Tangent Scientists and the current poor relationships, we wish to offer no further comment.

:lol: at you Uranus players...

Is that planet dead or is it just me? All the time when a Neocronicle or a NEMA goes out I see several Uranus players scream out "WHY NO URANUS INFO!!!!" Maybe you dont have any RPG players "looks at Oath :p" He should maybe bribe Daene :lol: :D

But Nobby surprise us next time take the pen and make a story and win the pultzer price :D

oh now I found it.....


Ceres, too, instructs his researchers to work on new military equipment. They develop a new kind of walking vehicle, a powered giant of metal, equipped with numerous weapons and piloted by humans from inside its massive body. This new kind of field weapon is called WarBot by its developers. Furthermore they work on a new mass destruction system on the basis of the former atomic bomb.

Ok, and what am I supposed to do with them? They don't seem any different then all other rusty boxes already in the game.

CityAdmin starts a new Event Info Service

.............................. by Randolph Bennet
[X] Jupiter | [X] Uranus | [X] Saturn | [X] Pluto




The CityAdmin announces a new service for the Neocron citizens. It will inform the runners about planned and coming events and make advertising for the events. For doing this, the CityAdmin will free some employees and put them in public places.

After last weeks reports of CityAdmin's drastic measures against the striking janitor workforce, the department chief of internal city districts gave us a statement.

Then during a defense-fight against attacking TG clans a group of City Mercs showed up and attacked the fighting NExT Members who already had a hard fight with TG. The CM Clan then hacked the OP and wanted a ransom to give it back.
