story question

(aignetti) #1

i know the story isn that important in a mp game, but anyway:

i dont understand a thing with the story - the resistance wants to leave the ark … the ark has 50.000 people, instead of 5.000 … why do they have to fight against the security to leave the ark? shouldnt the security be happy if people want to leave the ark?

and another small question, didnt want to make an extra topic for that: how much damage does the silencer reduce? people in the board told me not to trust the stats at the weapon menu

Two main reasons.

One - creating transportation for that many people would use up a large portion of their already dwindleing supplies. The people who are leaving will need to make ships, as well as take a supply of food and fresh water. The founders dont think that it is a smart use of resources.

Two - anyone who leaves could tell the “barbarians” on land where they are, who might try to come and steal their technology. Letting anyone leave is a security risk.

A) they sent out a rescue mission, they got savaged to death to reveal the arks location, they had to move the ark, they dont have the energy to do that again, presumably the world is worse than the ark, as the ark was BUILT to survive independantly, like mokeona says " if they get here, they wont even leave our bones"

1.) Security wants to maintain order. They also have classified information that the outside world is in even worse shape than Ark. Resistance wants to leave the Ark; but want to take all available resources with them. So, Security believes that the Ark should be saved instead. Resistance have more suspicion, half-truths, anger, and fear motivating their actions. Security controls all planes, communication, and knowledge to the outside world. Resistance feel that they have no choice but to risk the dangers of the outside world.

2.) I use Muzzle Brakes rather than a silencer for the added stability and accuracy. A silencer would be an Operative thing, but you can make a disguise, so why is a silencer important? More of an upside for the added weapon accuracy with Muzzle Brakes instead.

Peace out!

Based on XP per hit Id say roughly -12 to 17% damage. Take a sniper revolver and check for yourself:)

And a silencer is a great tool for servers with advanced players used to the radar. I get quite nervous if i hear one^^ and then have to ask if its on our team or theirs.
Sadly it encourages campers especially on servers with the red tint off. God I hate those… Just cant get used to it cause it breaks the fast paced nature.

The bastard Ark Founder fascists want to keep the guest around as slaves! They keep us weak with rationed water and controlled sickness. They live in luxury in that damn tower while we live in slums!

I am tired of these random security checks and searches!

I am tired of working with Arkoral! It stinks! And it scars you!

FREE ARK!!!
