Quote: Nothing new about the seasonal at all other than the GP mods and one medal, Dan you outdid yourself this year. The Scan drops are pretty sweet, IMO. I don't know, maybe I just don't have huge expectations for seasonals, but I'm having a good time with it... like the production buffs, and the Powervaults are some of my favorite 1:1 arti structures due to their storage capacity. Still wish there wasn't a "forced time out" after you get pulsed by the Elios, but other than that, have no complaints.

as long a chuhn is good with lots of new stuff and this biweekly keeps having nice rewards Its not such a big deal that elios didnt have much new content.

It goes up to 3, +1 if you have a heliacal plant already on the planet, and another +1 by using the solar inverter.

Or has one not been released; hard to say for sure, if it is rank 1900+ like the new Bane NPC we got last year, only a limited number of players will be able to see them Bane Dread - http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php/Bane_Dreadbut as far as I know, if theire is a new high rank elios NPC like that one, no one have found and posted anything about it here I did get an interesting comment back from GL support on this: "We can't comment on unreleased content. But thanks for being curious!" Hmmmm....Killin us Dan! You're killin us!

Dan has tobe very carful with the new npc that drops subspacefissures/hyper terraformers/dysonsphears, he is carfully balancing the % drop rate, you see at 1/3 each it simply isn't right as both fissures and sphears are better then terraformers, he is just tweeking it for us, give him him and this new very rare 1/1,000,000,000 chance npc will spawn for us, oh he has 31,000 cloak too.

Dyson spheres and fissures will never be dropped by npcs. it makes no buisness sense to make it so players can get them from anywhere but the limited mission or they will spurn the limited mision and get them this way and save a lot of gp doing so. And to top it all off the npc doesnt look anything like a mega super happy galaxy wide boss, it looks like a second single player npc.

It was ment to be a joke about the npc that drops the best thing imaginable only to find out its easyer to get quasi's from TO's then it is to find it, but then he (dan) could technically say "its their its fair you COULD get all your planets in the game to be rifts if you are hyper lucky "

Just venting, but... Not. A. Single. ****ing. Item. Today's scan run was 210 planets. Over the past 2-3 days I've done somewhere between 250-350 other scans on planets. (not sure because I didn't track exact numbers and used purgers as I went...but I'm at 661 now and was at 240 and change after my initial purging of planets.) And I didn't find a single elios item. Everybody else that's found them seems to get one for about every 100 planets they find, from what I've been told. Boo.

Done about 550 scans and only found 1 so far... Yet others have had 5 with fewer scans...

I would not have put it past dan to just select random planets from the data base that have the item on it, and once they are goen they are gone. I too have 300 scanned planets no upgrades
