Update 13 Feb 2013 New attacks expected.

Update 18 Jan 2014 Video of yesterdays attacks, in case you don't know what it's like: > Originally live streamed at www.twitch.tv/entropiaplanets Original announcement 15 Jan 2014: IFN reconnaissance forces have reported a new build up in a previously unknown Oratan staging area. IFN Intelligence, having analysed the movement patterns of this new group, have determined that the Oratan intend to use these new forces against the same Firebases as previously assaulted. Whilst other attacks on numerous IFN Firebases have been fought off with the help of colonists, it appears the Oratan are now employing a level of strategic planning and testing never before witnessed. IFN Intelligence is baffled as to how or why this sudden change in tactics are showing up now. Is there something we are missing? It is not known how intelligent the Oratan are, but this level of strategy as been previously beyond them. As before, they seem intent on attacking multiple bases at the same time in order to manipulate us into dispersing our forces enough for them to break through at one position or another. In response, the IFN are calling on Arkadia's loyal colonists, to assist in plugging the gaps in our defensive lines and bolster the regular IFN combat forces. Colonists of all levels are encouraged to attend. These attacks are liable to run for an extended period of time, so people from different time-zones are encouraged to join in at their convenience. If you are able to lend support, please assemble at COURAGEOUS FIREBASE (Coordinates 15184, 25710) or STEADFAST FIREBASE (Coordinates 18583, 13747). Intel points to the following date and time for the attack (MA/in-game time): 17th January 2014 @ 19:00 18th January 2014 @ 19:00 Due to issues arising from previous engagements, we ask colonists to please not shoot Oratan from the walls or under the entrance of the base (as this causes the Oratan to become UNREACHABLE) but to actually advance into the field to engage the enemy forces. The Oratan are likely to be throwing all they have at these bases including the largest and strongest warriors they can muster. IFN combat forces are currently deployed elsewhere, however IFN Command will make personnel available for Paramedical duties to assist colonial fighters. Please arrive early and ensure all equipment is clean and in good repair, and you have adequate supplies of ammunition. We are going to fight! The Oratan need to be taught a lesson and you will all share the glory when we are victorious! Onward unto victory! [source...]
After analysing the loot distribution I must say an ATH is bound to happen (prolly today) and if I had to predict where it would occur... hmm, should I go and have a look at arkadia?
Ortatan are still not tired: IFN Intelligence: Advancing Oratan forces detected! Thanks to a timely warning from the Commandos of Alpha Team, IFN Command now knows of an imminent attack heading for some of our positions. Whilst we are still yet to find the main Oratan staging areas, we at least seem to be narrowing down the search somewhat. As before, IFN Command Arkadia have deployed significant resources in order to ascertain how and where the main Oratan forces are being moved from in order for a coordinated strike to be executed. As a consequence, the majority of reserve forces are being used to reinforce vital assets whilst civilian militia augment the Firebases that have had their main combat forces stripped from them. The new attacks seem to be headed for Repulse and Courageous Firebases, who's defending forces are low due to force rotation. This seems to confirm that the Oratan seem to have almost real-time surveillance on our positions which is allowing them to react to our troop deployments. The IFN are calling on Arkadia's loyal colonists, to assist in plugging the gaps in our defensive lines and bolster the IFN combat forces. Colonists of all levels are encouraged to attend. This attack is liable to be a heavy and sustained attack for an extended period of time, so people from different time-zones are encouraged to join and leave in at their convenience. If you are able to lend support, please assemble at REPULSE FIREBASE (Coordinates 15015, 15047) or COURAGEOUS FIREBASE (Coordinates 15182, 25704). The attacks are estimated to hit around the following dates and times (MA/in-game time): 14th February 2014 @ 19:00 15th February 2014 @ 19:00 Please Note: This attack is liable to be a heavy and sustained attack for an extended period of time, similar to previous attacks. We encourage people from different time-zones to join and leave in at their convenience. ************************************************** ************* Due to issues arising from previous engagements, we once again ask colonists to please NOT shoot from the walls or from under the entrance of the base, as this causes the Oratan to become UNREACHABLE and spoils the event for other participants. We kindly ask that all players actually advance into the field and engage the enemy forces. ************************************************** ************* The Oratan are, once again, likely to be throwing all they have at these bases including the largest and strongest warriors they can muster. As with previous engagements, IFN Command will make limited personnel available for Paramedical duties to assist colonial fighters. Please arrive early and ensure all equipment is clean and in good repair, and you have adequate supplies of ammunition.

Since first being covered on EP I've always wanted to know do you have to kill the oratan or the triceratops or both?
High level mobs shared loot events never get old... Arkadian Colony Defence – Another Attack Detected! IFN Intelligence: More Oratan forces detected! IFN Command have been alerted to more Oratan forces advancing on some of our Firebases. Whilst IFN reconnaissance forces continue to search for the main Oratan staging areas, we have managed to narrow the parameters of where such a staging area could be hidden. In an effort to rapidly ascertain the location of this staging area, IFN Command Arkadia have once again deployed significant resources in order for a coordinated strike to be executed. As before, the majority of reserve forces are being used to reinforce vital assets whilst civilian militia augment the Firebases that have had their main combat forces stripped from them. The IFN are calling on Arkadia's loyal colonists, to assist in plugging the gaps in our defensive lines and bolster the IFN combat forces. Colonists of all levels are encouraged to attend.
