Balloons and other nonsense?

Hello

Just a quick query.

Quite often over the last week or so of play when I've been in ESD I've noticed balloons and other odd things on the ground. Some of which you can walk through/over and they act as a "pick up".

Do they do anything, or are they just random nonsense like the "disco dancing" that quite often happens randomly?

    They come from anniversary party popper devices that players use. Disco balls are items that players use too, they don't happen randomly. They don't do anything other than that.

    Oh I see, so they're just (other) player activated nonsense then.

    Thanks.

    The pickups you walk through are from an Engineers Combat Supply power.

    Those things are simple enough to ignore. Typically if I am at ESD or on Qo'nos for a long period of time I am usually staring at the Exchange window.

    From my experience people most pop those disco balls or shoot out balloons in ESD and Drozana Station. I generally do not see that happen on Qo'nos.

    Yeah they get out of hand with it also at the Dyson Sphere ground. They also shoot tribbles at you too.

    As someone who uses disco balls a fair amount, (see sig) I generally go for where has the largest consecration of players.
    So ship selectors at esd and k7, bank at k7, and interestingly enough recruitment officer at klink academy. I seldom set them off in drozanna.
    It's not my fault if you feel trolled by my Disco ball... Sorry'boutit.

    I just ignore them, because I am usually doing stuff before my next run.

    Anti-troll ball device? There's something that will destroy the stupid disco balls? Where does it come from, and does it hopefully cost a fraction as much as the disco balls?

    And that's why I brought a Anti-Troll Ball device.

    They work great and the with the added bonus that drives the mega pests crazy. :P

    I have to say on that particular note, since they were added to the game I've only observed about maybe ten people actually using them.

    Based on the screaming on here I would have thought they were gonna be much more popular.
