So, is the colonization event the permanent or temporary one ? I know, stupid question, isn't it ?

Is it possible to use the Raix Megaweapon on a Bane Psyshade and get credit on the medal?

Bane Emission Corruptor dropped from Psyshade, upgrades a random bane emitter on your ship to the NEXT more powerful one.
Psyshade Inducer upgrades an undamaged standard bane foe to a Psyshade, (note psyshades have very high stats at rank 500 the one I faced has 126 K hull (matched rank) all debuffs can be used on it, and mine had 20K attack and 16K defense, attack with care

I wondered that myself. I could see it not working with using NFX virus ofc but wouldn't see why megaweapon wouldn't allow it to count.

really curious to know if the bane transmitter will upgrade past what the current top version is

>> edit :
terror does transform into horror at : Horrorcharged Bane Emitter Attack +156 (30% Upgrade)

however you cannot / it will not upgrade beyond this point.

so whatever horror transforms into / if it will at all, would be the highest emitter version.

I have the dread charged and its 195 attack when upgraded. can only be upgraded once, which is something I find odd since it states 30%, rather than a simple fully upgraded.

So it appears that the upgraded version not only converts it to the next higher grade but gives it 30% more attack than the naturally dropping version as well. Naturally dropping Horror-Charged emitters have a base 120 attack and 30% of that is 36 which make the 156. I guess if there are naturally dropping dread-charged emitters, they would start at a base of 150 attack. 30% of that is 45 which added accounts for the 195. The question is, if there are naturally dropping dread-charged emitter, what rank do you have to be to see the NPC that drops them? Interesting...

Is the image different from the horror emitter?

dont know for sure,

but Horror-Charged emitters = rank 1900+
so my bedst guess would be somewere betwen 2500+ and 3500+ before you get access to a NPC that drops them

but so far, the players who might have acces to them I have seen are only running Horrorcharged Bane Emitter x4

What rank are you Palentir?

Here's the image:

Just confirmed. you CAN use the megaweapon on psyshades and get medal progress. and 0702, would you mind dragging the image enclosed in the Img brackets here so I can add to wiki please?
