General Information

Image

The Scruuge are a sect of radical idealists, motivated by greed and deeply envious of others. The Scruuge claim that the galaxy is too overpopulated, and they directly interfere with trade and government aid programs, especially during busy seasonal trade cycles. Ships are asked to engage and reclaim any gifts taken by the Scruuge if found.

During the Scruuge event, the following temporary effects apply to the entire Galaxy:
-The Scruuge will sometimes blockade random planets.
-Planetary scans have a chance to reveal a 'Scruuge Keystone'.

Out of 14 finds, 4 were Keystone Upgrades.

Also, you should note that the new Scruuge Hoarding Vault VI is NOT extractable, so be mindful of where you use these.

good to know. The V's and lower are but will note in wiki. ALSO, can someone be on the lookout to see if the rank range for the Hub-GMU-3's has been changed?

The upper rank is 7000. I didn't catch the lower - I think it's 400/500, so probably not changed.

Disappointed in the Thraccti upgrade. While an extra 1x MR cap is nice, the lower energy cost isn't that attractive, and lowering the cooldown timer was pretty much the only way to get me to buy the last couple of upgrades for him.

There was no lowred cooldown for his ability. There was for Cuniculus but never thraccti. It was always and energy decrease, an increase of tribute richness, and of course his passive raid bonus

Correct. Hence why I'm disappointed, and why I haven't upgraded Thraccti the last couple years. I was hoping that there'd be a cooldown reduction this year. I was hoping that last year too. Would have been some easy GP for Dan since I'd have had to do all the upgrades to get to that.

Ah gotcha, it sounded like you bought them the way it was worded.
