The majority of the Halloween droplist is going to be targeted at everyone, and I will not put more than a station master requirement on the special halloween drones. Yes, I will probably do two. A level 10 to 12 Pumpkin Thorax Drone, and a level 9 to 10 Ghostly Beam drone. One of the drones will be a straight drop, the other will be a blueprint drop using various commodities from the halloween drop list.

Overall the idea is to add items that everyone in game can have some fun working on collecting, not add a lot of class specific content and end up leaving some classes out. Expect this to be very similar to the way the Christmas drop list worked last year.

On the list so far are the following.

Haunted House - Station Kit
Pumpkin Drone - Jack o' Lantern Thorax Drone
Ghastly Drone - Ghostly Beam Drone
Jack o' Lantern Thorax - Fire damage Thorax
Undead Extractors - Various Extractors for Metal, Silicon and Nuclear Waste (much like the Christmas Tree Cutters)
Zombies - Undead Worker Alternative (much like Santa's Elves)
Spirit of the Damned - Trophey Ship that looks like a Spirit (will be level 5 and obtainable by f2p)
Ghosts - Commodity that comes in various colors for the Spirit of the Damned Ship quest.
Shadestop - Low level, Low visibility, Low speed mod shield with a high bank
Spiritstop - higher level Shadestop
Spectrestop - Higher level Spiritstop
Ghostly Robes - Cloak
Witches Broomstick - Engine
Gravedigger's Bonesacks - Hull Expanders for all ship classes. "Gravediggers need more room!"
Spooky Candles - Homing Beacon
Halloween Candies - Neurotweaks (Candy Corn, et cetra)
Various other Commodities (Wooden Stakes, Bats, Werewolves, et cetra)

Drones Pumpkin drone, maybe it use MF slate thorax, shouldnt be too broken due to it being non ethereal and not much use against anything other than porps and surjical does sort of fit in with the 'horror' them.

Sheilds Think of something other than -something- Stop, for the sheilds its a bit of a crappy name anyway also maybe have something like Firestream, Jet-stream (but not -something- stream) etc on the sheilds list.

Bases maybe you can include a feature like elec regen etc..but it'd be good if they had a new graphic too to break up the look of galaxies a bit.

Also on the f2p thing, please dont your encouraging people not to pay by giving them access to 'good' content.

That would rock. Just lower the vis to 4-5, and drop the speed mod to maybe 1.2, I is supposed to be a ghost shield :P

Aww cmon, make the shield give SOME resist to any wep thats not ethereal.

I mean, damn, ur using a GHOST shield. And ghosts are not susceptible to anthing thats physical.

Maybe give it resists to Surg, Phys and Energy? And make it weak to Eth Lasers and other lasers?

I've already started the Neurotweaks, and it seems there is a shield debate! Do we want a stream type shield or a stop type shield?

As for bases, bases have had electrical regen for an extremely long time, and there are a lot of bases out there with them. Check any base kit above Laconia, check the UrQa, Paxian and Kikale Mzungu base kits. I even think Bellarmine's Mini-Cathedral has electric regen. As for giving them a different graphic, that is a problem. I am not skilled enough to make the changes required to the game code to allow for that, and we do not have a different set of base graphics we could use anyway.

Finally, we cannot make a drone shoot multiple weapons at once and we cannot give resistances to etheral weaponry. Etheral weaponry is not a damage type, therefore we cannot assign a resistance to it. I am sorry to shoot down some of the suggestions since my last post, but there are things we cannot do, and Jeff L has more important work to do on Client 2, so I cannot take him away from that for code changes that would only be used for a Holiday droplist.

Just a thought of how one might be able to pull off that concept of eth only weapons...

The shield creates and 'envelopment' type thing around the ship which stays attached... It is invulnerable... The shield itself has 1 bank and 1 regen per 60 seconds... Meaning if you get hit once with an eth weapon, you'll die, and regen in 60 seconds... Might work... might not, but would be a neat idea to explore...

On that note, I don't really like the idea of only eth weapons dealing dmg to a shield...

I still like my idea of just giving it medium bank/regen/speed mod, but then give it a stealth modifier as well...

I would rather see a stream type shield with more than a 1.4 speed mod.

I am just about finished with all the Halloween Stuff, and I taken the time and effort to make this a very enjoyable holiday time. This means there is going to be a very special new galaxy added, the Graveyard. In this area players will get to assist the Mad Professor Logan in his research into the paranormal and supernatural including Space Rat Zombies and Restless Spirits!

Also, higher levels, be prepared for an extremely special suprise. Something extremely frightening is coming...
