Masquerade 2016 FAQ

Masquerade 2016


​

This year’s Carnival event is something special: a Masquerade, and it’s not just for pilots!

The brilliant minds at M.A.S.Q.U.E., a name practically synonymous with bleeding-edge ship technology, are finally free of their exclusive contract with SecuriTek, private bodyguards to the stars. They’re celebrating with the release of DRONELOOKZ™, the revolutionary plug-and-play kits that can change the appearance of any pilot’s workhorse drones!

Years of intense research and development have produced a cheap, quick -install system to be retrofitted onto all existing drones, allowing pilots to equip not only one “functional” design, but also an additional design purely to change the look of your drone.

Now pilots don’t have to choose between functionality and looking awesome when they’re equipping their drones!

Dronelookz™ is now available at all hangars across the Solar System.

To celebrate the release, M.A.S.Q.U.E. has organized a few special events this carnival.

The hard facts

Two weeks (15th of February 00:00:00h – 28th of February 23:59:59h LST) of good-old traditional Carnival fun are being rounded off with a cool new feature:
· Drone Customization Feature (NEW!)
· 3 Epic missions (NEW!)
· 2 new drone designs in 3 different color variations each (NEW!)
· Carnival Bonus Boxes
· Disguisor NPC

New Drone Designs

To add customization options, we are introducing two new visual-only designs in a number of variations.

The “Phantom” design is widely available and can be acquired by everyone. The “Enigma” design variations require a bit of effort: they are UBA prizes and found in the Kronos Gate during the event.

The Green, Red and Orange Phantom variations are also available as set of 10 designs. (Visual only, no set bonuses.)

Kronos Gate: Evil You’s Carnival special loot

The toughest of the tough can earn a very special reward this year: by defeating the “Evil You” NPC in the Kronos Gate during this event, you will be rewarded with an exclusive red Enigma drone design.

Once you have defeated the last Kronos Gate NPC, it will drop a bonus box containing the design.

To improve your chances, we are running the occasional “Kronos Day” during the event.
