I am assuming that based on the 10 free spec points. They are sending out to characters pre lvl 60 cap. Also if want them to stay after they return you need to give them something good. Give them keys they will use and if they don't win a ship just leave again. Give them a t6 ship higher chance they will stick around.
They should have just announced it with the other events that have been going on. It doesn't bother me any they did this, as I have played other games that have given cash item pack to entice players to return. The difference is that they all announced that they were having a returning player pack give-away. To just do it…
So what to both OPs post. They aren't even the same genre so they won't affect each other in anyway what so ever. If you wanted to gloat about you predicting something, should have went to their forums to gloat.
Another I don't like something, so change it for my sake thread. Also calling people committed players with no lives no very likely to make them take you seriously at all, even if they agree with your points. Funny thing is earlier in the week there was a thread complaining about the exact opposite thing you are…
On my Dyson ship boff 4th skills aren't showing up. Neither my science boff 4th(Gravity well 3) skill is showing up nor my tactical 4th skill(Attack pattern omega 3) when I switch modes. They don't show up even in skill list. It as if I only have 3 skills not matter which mode I'm in.
