Exact mechanics of special encounters is not disclosed and I hope it will never be.
Feel free to do your own research, share info with other players, speculate etc :)

It is a random encounter. Like the name say's, your chances are pretty much random.  :'(

And remember that Luck doesn't affect the chance to get and find special encs.

I guess its hard terrain of world map or certain squares (halfy proved with gauss enco), but the least could have been changed.

You need 10 Lk and 10 PE, this (I think) grows the chance. The probability depends on the location, but where this good places, I dont know:D
Good exploration!

10lk and 10 pe are for FCC encounters.

That's what the devs want you to believe.
...speculate etc :)

You can have it.
The new mechanics work the same way as Wire's "random encounters", which mean the encounter is tailored to a character nick, which means the special encounters are distributed by GMs and not by some mysterious mechanics, which don't exist.
The encounters are placed by GMs hand in places which are supposed to be visited by these type of players. When someone post about it on forums, the coordinates are changed - something i can guarantee.

Because Jovanka in my opinion will choose a simple, GM-driven solution, because arrogance won't let leave this glee for some kind of mechanics, ergo, mechanics which doesn't need to be developed.

IPs of connected players are bound to logged IPs on forum and since the most players are lazy to change IP between bitchposting and playing, the not-favorable profiles can be excluded from the encounter list.

So getting such a special encounter is possible if you are favoured by GM/developer buddy or a "random-noob-getting-special-encounter-just-to-prove-that-are-all-equal." Or when someone is drunk and want to throw some godpowers around.

@up

i believe it works same way as gauss/family grabe but is more rare. too much effort to do it by gm's. wire's enco's are another thing you need to distinguish them

Funny I've been both liked and hated by most the dev's and gm's, never got a Special encounter.  Dang oh well guess the mechanic is broken.  (BTW he was speculating which is just shy of joking his ass off)
