"It's capable of using mental powers and has a strong defense against the human Mindforce." http://www.entropedia.info/Info.aspx?chart=Mob&id=54

Any truth behind that sentence? I belive I read from some thread that you Akbar had sweated these... any differ to sweat Oculus than all the other mobs?

To reply like: "Try out yourself and see what it's like"... sad to say, I had to sell out at the end of 2006 due irl matters and stripped my ava's every skill below 10, sooo... not in position to test it myself. But to those of you who have tried...any difference?

Actually, the way I read that description, they are difficult to damage using nerve blast or firestorm chips.

Also the description of the "exploding gas" seems to imply more dmg from burn weapons (I.E. Laser as opposed to Longsword)

I'm guessing that description was made during a time when MA was planning to give each mob their own armor stats, just like our armor.

But according to almost everyone else, Ma doesn't seem to have done this.

I found a oculus old alpha very north of Oshiri. I assume there are other high maturity ones around also.

"Interesting" observation about Oculus maturities is also that the Youngs not only hit 20+ more dmg, but also have over 100HP more then Providers for example.

So if you ever want to try out your first Oculus, please make it a Mature-Provider that are alot easier than the nasty Young rascals

There are no Youngs in the game. Even on the landgrab area south of Nate, there are only Matures and the occasional Old, even though the spawn is at absolute minimum (as usual for a landgrab area, and I also confirmed this just a couple of days ago by checking the fertiliser station).

I don't know the background to this, but I would guess that the Youngs were removed because someone screwed up with these too-high stats.

Actually they were re-introduced last VU. Many Youngs located North of Oshiri Hearts, at 5000 43000 ISH. Head way more N and youll find Prowlers and Stalkers too.
