I had an idea for St. Patty's day stuff. Feel free to add improvements.
The Cloverians - An ancient race of sentient plant-like creatures who require massive amounts of CH3CH2OH (alcohol) to survive. When they are deprived of their drink they go into stasis for another year.
The Cloverians are ruled by four overlords which can be found in the following ways.
1.) Mission 2.) Rare npc 3.) Special base crate drop 4.) Appears only after the other three have been defeated
Some cool St. Patty's themed artifacts and modules are needed too of course.

We already have a holiday that occupies March... Easter... Sorry Easter pretty much occupies both March and April... Having two events running at the time is a bad thing as it will make drops even rarer for both events. Lets try to keep it a bare minimal of 1 event each month please... however I don't see a problem having a daily reward on that day (Something small like a planet structure, or more likely a pot of gold that gives 6 hours of mineral production).

So long as it isn't called St. Pattys (St. Patricks or Paddys day please) then I give it a +1...
Also what about an ally? Wenches love allies...

If it were a small 3-7 day event it wont interfere with your ability to buy overpriced lepus drones.

I think this would be pretty cool but, and this scares me, I kinda agree with Namekian here about the overlap with Lepus possibly being problematic.

It should last 1 day (on St. Patrick's Day), during that day your chances of finding Rares and Extremely Rares increase.

How about a limited time, 1day only mission called "The Luck of the Cloverians" or something. It would work similar to the Tracking the Contacts mission, but with inflated energy requirements (250-500 instead of 25), and maybe an artifact too - use of a Stryll seeker, perhaps? Infinitely repeatable, but it would be limited to as much energy/artis you have. Also, the XP gain should be way low (say a 1:1 or lower ratio) to prevent auto-ranking. Reward for completion of the mission is a guaranteed rare/extremely rare showing up on you next BT refresh, or an arti like Contact Co-ordinates that drops a rare/extremely rare on to you BT.

Love the idea as for the finding Npcs, the base crate idea might needs switched to a different way. maybe i high spawn rate planet entity or something, or just a second EX rare npc.
and the easter conflict? Maybe Lepus Drones are the natural predators of the Lepus Drones. perhaps a Cloverian item drop that increases holiday NPc spawn rate do to the natural attraction they have on the Lepus Drones?

Definitely liking the idea of a St Patrick's day event. Surprised there isn't one already. Loving the Cloverian name too.
+1 from me.
