Sidle up to the table and find out if you're the feaster, or feastee!

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 16th and lasts until December 7th!
The Feast is back, featuring two crunchy TFOs, “Bug Hunt” (Ground) and “Swarm” (Space). Play each day to earn your way to this Event's Grand Prize, the Maelstrom Triflouride Torpedo Launcher, a brand new type of Maelstrom Torpedo! Keep reading for details on this item, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned.
Triflouride Maelstrom Torpedo Launcher
Torpedo launchers fire projectiles that deal heavy kinetic damage. Shields drastically reduce the effects of kinetic damage. Maelstrom projectiles deal high damage but need time to recharge. They can store excess energy in the warhead, allowing them to functionally 'charge up' damage.
The Triflouride Maelstrom launcher, on defeating foes, leaves behind Triflouride Fragments that can be collected for temporary bonuses.
Only two Maelstrom launchers may be safely equipped at a time. Maelstrom Launchers deal double damage against weaker foes: Cruisers and smaller always, Battleships with their shield facing near zero, and Dreadnoughts and Players under 50% Hull.
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 final 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.
