Will you be the feaster, or will you be feasted upon? In this brand new event, participate in the Bug Hunt and Swarm TFOs to advance in the final Meta Campaign Event!

Hunger is universal, and feasts are times of joy. Sadly, some species express the drive in unsociable ways. While many gather with loved ones and share communal meals, in the cold reaches of space another kind of hunger stirs, one more akin to locust swarm behavior than family bonding. Either way, the delicious feast begins for PC Captains on November 15th and lasts until December 6th!

A new event is here, featuring two crunchy TFOs, “Bug Hunt” (Ground) and “Swarm” (Space). Play each day to earn your way to this Event's Grand Prize, the Universal Kit Module - V'ger Probes, which summons V'ger Probes that seek out Foes and severely damage any that stray too close! Keep reading for details on this item, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned.

Universal Kit Module - V'ger Probes

When this ability is activated, V'ger Probes are summoned and move toward foes, causing severe damage in close proximity. The three probes deal significant Plasma damage over time and will continue to seek new Foes even if the original targets are defeated.

Upon claiming this Grand Prize (whether earned or purchased), your account will immediately become eligible for Bonus Progress. The first Bonus Progress rewarded will be accompanied by a reward of 8,000 Dilithium Ore. Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000, and we have increased the cap on how high this value may scale to a value that is unreachable during this Event (thus effectively unlimited!).

This Featured Event is the fifth and finl of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the fourth installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. Captains will also have the option to purchase their remaining progress in the event with Zen. The price for this buyout will be pro-rated, based on the amount of progress a Captain has completed.

I just ran a solo of Bug Hunt.

It's the first time I've run it that I can remember. It was a LOT of button mashing, but not that bad as long as you don't run off that first cliff and get stuck (ask me how I know about that). Take an Echo Papa, One Little Ship, a Methuselah Drone, a Security Escort, some pets, and remember that Ball Lightning is always your friend. I only died twice, but in my defense, I wasn't expecting all of those damned bugs.

So I guess that's how I finish this event. Solo Bug Hunts. It could be worse. I could be PUGging it.

The first time bug hunt went live, it was a little difficult for me. This time around it wasn't so bad when many of the players I get teamed with kill the bugs so fast.

One thing to be aware of with the latest changes to Bug Hunt - to get credit for killing the alarm bugs you seem to need to wait until the target has appeared above the head of the alarm bug before you kill it, otherwise you may not get credit.
