Nothing new about the seasonal at all other than the GP mods and one medal, Dan you outdid yourself this year.

So I noticed something in last years thread I would like adressed, CAN you upgrade the drill to a +3 artifact or only +2. some people were suggesting it can just keep upgrading, can I get a yay or nay on that?

hard to say for sure, if it is rank 1900+ like the new Bane NPC we got last year, only a limited number of players will be able to see them

Bane Dread - http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php/Bane_Dread

but as far as I know, if theire is a new high rank elios NPC like that one, no one have found and posted anything about it here

I did get an interesting comment back from GL support on this:

"We can't comment on unreleased content. But thanks for being curious!"

Hmmmm....Killin us Dan! You're killin us!

Say no more. It simply was not ready this year I take it.

Must be pretty epic then, considering it existed at the first Elios occurrence and not yet ready even this year?

Dan has tobe very carful with the new npc that drops subspacefissures/hyper terraformers/dysonsphears, he is carfully balancing the % drop rate, you see at 1/3 each it simply isn't right as both fissures and sphears are better then terraformers, he is just tweeking it for us, give him him and this new very rare 1/1,000,000,000 chance npc will spawn for us, oh he has 31,000 cloak too.

lol, was this meant to be posted in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=43204 ?

agreed. not only was it rambleing but...
31k scan requires use of a protogrid, so each player would have a 25 minuet window at most to npc for this
1/1,000,000,000 chance is one in a billion. to put it into context people like shockwave, the most prolific npc hunter, have under 2m npc kills. so take their entire galaxy legion career and they would have less than a one in 500 chance of spawning it.
Dyson spheres and fissures will never be dropped by npcs. it makes no buisness sense to make it so players can get them from anywhere but the limited mission or they will spurn the limited mision and get them this way and save a lot of gp doing so.
And to top it all off the npc doesnt look anything like a mega super happy galaxy wide boss, it looks like a second single player npc.

Everybody else that's found them seems to get one for about every 100 planets they find, from what I've been told.

Boo.

I would not have put it past dan to just select random planets from the data base that have the item on it, and once they are goen they are gone. I too have 300 scanned planets no upgrades
