General Information



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'.
-Completing Daily missions will sometimes reward a bonus 'Scruuge Resupply Depot'.

How do you get those ???

Completing Daily missions will sometimes reward a bonus 'Scruuge Resupply Depot'.
one of the scruuge seasonal effects. Haven't gotten any yet myself though.

it appears to maybe only drop for the scruugge daily. I did that mission, used the raix ability and got one both times. I then did the tejiar reformation and science summit mission to test it out and neither of those missions gave one.

Also, the news tab doesn't say about keystone upgrades dropping. Are they still dropping did anyone see?

No I did some more dailys and got drops from klorvis and raix.

Anyone found any vicars or the elite yet?

Keystone upgrades are dropping, I just got one, despite not being listed on the news tab.

Will need to be confirm but I think the Hijacker doesnt appear from the BT anymore

Okay I just confirmed the Scruuge Resupply Depots can be found from any daily; not just the seasonal one.
