Is the event potentially broken for anyone else?
I have not been able to find Chuhn merchants since Dan "fixed" the Arms ship module. Before Dan "fixed" the module, I found 5. I have found 0 since. I'm guesstimating I've gone through about 25k energy npcing since. I didn't track my npc kills, but I have found around 6 troop carriers over that same npcing period. Anyone else having this problem or is it just really bad luck?

Anyone else having this problem or is it just really bad luck? 3 merchants in the last 2 hours with 2 rankups in that time. 11 troop carriers in the last 22 hours with 5 rankups in that time. you are just having really bad luck (with merchants) and good luck (with troop carriers). and energy expended means squat .. i have a 37k energy bar ... but i am auto.ranking on NPCs with 20k left over ... only the total number of NPCs dropped. EDIT: 6 more troop carriers in the last 2 hours so 17 troop carriers in the last 24 hours lol ! EDIT2: 7084 NPCs - 19 Chuhn Merchants - 373 NPCs per Merchant > Chuhn Stem Bolts: 5 > Triangulum SparkMatter: 4 > Prejor V2 Grav-Hutch: 3 > Fornax Jewel: 2 > Eye of Sagittarius: 2 > Furlinium-E Spanner: 2 > Crate of Goridian Ale: 1 previous: 4850 NPCs to get 12 merchants - 404 NPCs per Merchant. this is comparable to last year's spawn rate.

Thanks for the info.

I'm curious, is there any additional mission dialog for the people who've finished the Lutuma Chain? In the dialog for "Sphere of Influence" it mentioned asking the Chuhn about the Lutuma, so it stands to reason that there would be a new section.

In the dialog for "Sphere of Influence" it mentioned asking the Chuhn about the Lutuma, so it stands to reason that there would be a new section. Me: We received this artifact, call the Oruas Eye, from being called "The Great Elders". Have you heard of them? Them: I recognizance the device. Thought "they" are known by many names, we refer to it as a single entity. The oldest name we have on record is The Arbilion. Me: Where are they... er- "it"... Now? Them: Well, it's difficult to explain. Is is... "nowhere". [sic] Me: Nowhere? Them: The best, albeit crude, explanation that we've pieced together is that it intentionally trapped itself between dimensions... its energy cycles between pockets of subspace. Me: Why would it do that? Them: There are stories that it claimed to know and communicate with the original creators of this universe. For reasons unclear, it was "instructed" to banish itself. Me: That's... crazy. Them: Its energy cycles are connected via physical nodes that have been scattered throughout the galaxies. Through them... it "sees" and "feels". You possess one of these nodes. Me: But... I saw and spoke with it. And it referred to itself as "We". Them: What you saw is only a projection. The Arbilon has no "physical" presence. At least, not that you would be familiar with. It interacts only through the will of its stewards. Me: Have you traded with other races that also control an Eye? Them: Yes. You are not the first race we have come across that has bonded with one. If you think it will give you a leg up on our deals, however, you would be mistaken. Me: Would you even know if we attempted to? Them: It would hardly matter. We employ advanced entropic amplification. Your predictions of our intentions would be no better than educated guesses. Me: You never wanted one of the devices? Them: The Arbilon's motives are dark and shrouded in mystery. Though tempting... we prefer to protect ourselves in other ways. We can't afford to have it glimpsing into our affairs. Me: We'll take our chances. Them: I would be extremely cautious. We all seek power, but sometimes the costs are hidden and broad. The Arbilon is only using you.

I added the lutuma text to the wiki, as well as genetarr specific text:
Genetarr: If our records are correct, you've been here before?
Chuhn: Yes. Another Matriarch tried to read our minds during a trade. I politely reminded her that we are immune to the abilities of your kind.
Genetarr: Do you remember her name?
Chuhn: Galardieh... I think.
Genetarr: Galardieh hasn't ruled for hundreds of cycles.
Chuhn: ...It was very long ago. Things have changed considerably.
and the vygoid specific text:
Chuhn: Yes. Your people looked very different then... your bodies were not merged with such technology.
Vygoid: All Vygoid began the transition prior to leaving our home system. Our star was dying. The area is completely destroyed now.
Chuhn: ...It was very long ago. Things have changed considerably.
