General Information

Image

Scientists experimenting with robotic A.I. "companions" made an unfortunate error in the bots' affection algorithms, causing these "Q-Pedds" to rebel and flee in nearby science transport ships. The Q-Pedds took much of the related equipment with them. To those that may detect any roaming Q-Pedd ships: seizing back this equipment is of great importance.

During the Q-Pedd event, the following temporary effects apply to the entire Galaxy:
-Daily rewards for both minerals and research provide 50% more than before.
-Cybernetic (Vygoid, Zolazin) and robotic-proficient (Drannik) races receive a 5% boost to their racial bonus.
-'Q-Pedd Largesse' artifacts will now appear in standard artifact shipments.

You will see who used it on your ship:

PlayerName used a Q-Pedd Largesse on your ship.

FWIW, you can't remove it from yourself with a Containment Cage, nor can it be removed with a Contaiment Missile. Dark Void Missle seems to ignore it too.

Personally would have like to have seen the research production increased by 1, but the stats are now becoming reasonable so I'm not actually too fussed.

dan also forgot to add the previous years mods to the store.

imo. the friendly artifact stuff is a neat idea... but seriously, the 5% hull for a hour is a pointless buff to start with. aside from the medal with no other buffs people would actively need, eg how about a 2% base attack buff for example for say 10m, I dont see it being used much.

fingers crossed the medal reward is nice though. hopefully its a good ship mod with a nice ability, like the cool surprise from lepus last year.

Vygoid are also Cybernetic. Maybe the Xecti and Litheor are just lonely.

Q-Pedd Assembly Line 5.0
[ Limited Item - Valentines Day ]
[ Device - Size:20, Energy:130, Hull:1050 ]
Ability (with cooldown): Adds 1 Q-Pedd Scientist
(2 research) to your ship.
Limit 2 per ship.

The ability remains unchanged (still 20 hrs cooldown), so it's just a stat increase again.

Not extractable and even worse the item has 20 charges and then your left with its stats as is. Serioiusly Dan??? Dude, change that. That ability should be a permanent one, especially since its only 1 planet structure and thats all we get.
