Ok guys.. I think like me you are all waiting on the new holiday npcs and missions to come out. Dan I believe is located in the US, and GL follows the US holiday schedule as we have seen. Surely he has already got all the Halloween fare lined up, and as many of you know he is talking multi-man boss npcs because someone suggested them here. Let's try to give some help...

This thread will be for your ideas and thoughts for new holiday npcs, missions, anything. We have Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentines coming up. I love the fact he always does something (but I think we all would like something different, new, exciting), lets get creative and see if he has interest in the ideas.

I personally would love to see a 15-20 man mutant alien turkey lol (gotta be the Intergalatic Butterball). Dropping something like a nuclear drumstick cannon, breasted hull plating, etc lol. Santa is a big moving target around Christmas time, a sleigh and 10 reindeer has GOT to make a big target. Perhaps a Northpole drop (lots of goodies created there, so got to have good arti production). Maybe a special npc or mission that only spawns for the first 24 hrs on New Years, etc. Surely you guys can be more creative than me on this stuff.

Let's give Dan some thoughts, and ammunition.

I'd actually like to see some properly tough single player rare/elite NPC's. Something that actually requires some effort. I don't want to just 3 shot an npc with the chance of a mediocre drop. And something that scales with your own ship/attack/def. Maybe even a super tough NPC that lasts a week, 1Bill hull, 500M shields that recharge and can be shared like base. Okay maybe those numbers are a little high, but you get the point.

One thing I've always wanted to see is some type of planet lottery. Costs say 1-4k energy per week and one person is picked from random for an awesome planet, but not an invincible, maybe something with 5k cloak passive that can not be raised without structures.

ok, you said Mutant Alien Turkey, this is Awesome .....IM IN!!!! Dan, look at me Dan, look into my eyes, and say after me.. .." we need Mutant Alien Tuuuuurkeeeyyyysss..." ....


and +1 for the lottery idea too.

I am looking forward to the new elites.

I just want Dan to not screw anyone over with rank caps on some nice elites.

+1

There's no reason for any Boss Elites or Rare Elites to have a rank cap during a holiday event as they're not around long enough for anyone to really benefit long term.

the 15th isnt it when they start appearing?
