Even MOAR NPCs on Polar

[dseehafer]

Greetings all,

 

 

So, having seen the blimp post earlier today I went into a training room on the Polar map and found even more NPCs including a tall ship that sails around the map border. Has anyone noticed these before? Are they new with patch 5.9.0?

The tall ship is the Carnegie

Did you give it a full broadside?    Be honest!

I tried to, but couldnt hit the darn thing for the life of me. Must not be "hitable".

But can you sink it...

You cant shoot it (or at least i wasnt able to) and you cant ram it as it will just pass through the bow of your ship like a ghost.

Wikipedia on the Carnegie shown in the first pictures:

 

 "The Carnegie was a brigantine yacht, equipped as a research vessel, constructed almost entirely from wood and other non-magnetic materials to allow sensitive magnetic measurements to be taken for the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. She carried out a series of cruises from her launch in 1909 to her destruction by an onboard explosion while in port in 1929. She covered almost 300,000 miles (500,000 km) in her twenty years at sea."

I'm sure iChase will be doing an Easter Egg review on this map to show them all.

I'm likely a bit slow on this one, but got polar just a few minutes ago and spotted a formation of 4 TB-3's flying over the center of the map!    That's new to me at least.
