    I noticed in my log from Sunday November 2 that I had a drone destroyed:

    The Halloween Event announcement said:

    Greetings, Pilots!

    Drawn, spectral shadows can be seen cast throughout space, hissing voices are whispering in pilots' ears and their board instruments are going haywire. It's enough to send shivers down the spine of the bravest of adventurers.

    From October 27th until November 2nd, 2014, there is something rotten in DarkOrbit. Hair-raising NPCs, exclusive Halloween Quests and shocking events will show you what pure terror is all about.

    Expect the following for the Pumpkin Fest:

    • 4 exclusive Halloween Quests
    • Special Pumpkin Boxes with surprises inside
    • The horrifying Curcubitor is walking abroad of the maps in orbit. Destroy him and cash in on your sweet reward!
    • Ghost Boss aliens – more terror, bigger pay-offs!
    • The rare Bat Drone Formation in the shop – just what you need in the fight against the aliens
    • Level Invasion Gate with the Curcubium and Boss Curcubium
    • In defiance of the scariness your drones will not take damage during the entire event

    Buckle up, fire up your lasers and send your enemies packing! Just remember one thing - there's no crying in deep space!

    Your DarkOrbit team

    Since the event notice states the event ran until November 2 (and it was clearly still going on throughout that day with pumpkins, ghost bosses, bat formation availability, etc.) and my log shows my ship destruction occured on November 2, why did my drone get destroyed?

    I observed in the prior days of the event that drones were not taking damage, as my ship had been destroyed a few times and I checked because I knew I had one sitting at 98% damage.

    Had I taken the event notice at its word and removed my drone repair chips to make room for other equipment then there would REALLY be an issue. As it is I would just like an explanaion as to why that happened.

    Thank-you

    Even if it was a no dmg on drones event, nobody would leave their drones at 98% just rep them

    If you lost a drone it would say drone destroyed
