From left to right: Flying Dutchman, Restless Souls, and Ghost
Welcome, Commanders! Halloween is upon us! This year we have a special Halloween themed skin pack available, featuring 6 brand new skins! Along with these new skins, we have seeded in six 1 of 1 First Fleet Ships representing each of these new skins.
Halloween 2020 Crate
Crate sales will have a total of 6,666 crates available for sale on October 26, 2020 at 3pm PST. Crates will cost 666 GFC and will contain 1 of 6 possible Skins, or 1 of 5 potential Ships.
The 5 available ships in these crates are: Burning Jack, Bones, Ghost, Bloody Werewolf, and Restless Souls. Each of the 1-of-1 ship versions will have the special ship trails but the Skin version will not have the special ship trails and will instead be a generic trail.
The crate sale will continue until ALL crates are sold out.
Along with the crate sale, there will also be a limited in-game event as well.
Ships — Skins
Flying Dutchman — Corsair Class — Vindicator — The original trilite miners dubbed this Dark Revenant Vindicator starship, The Flying Dutchman. It was captained by the infamous Mondejo Voltaire and legend has it that it entered a mysterious nebula to avoid GFI capture and was lost forever. There are still reports of Flying Dutchman sightings by miners prospecting in Fringe Space but it's considered a bad omen, as soon after trilite resources seem to all but disappear…
Base Ship Details
Vindicator — The Dark Revenant built this tank of a corsair ship from the stolen blueprints of the Reaper Vanquisher. The Vindicator has the same underlying chassis as the Vanquisher, but with a custom exterior.
The Vindicator has the same stats as the Reaper Vanquisher, and is a First Fleet ship
Burning Jack — Corsair Class — Vindicator — The Burning Jack was thought to have flown clear through a Red Dwarf star emerging on fire. The crew was instantly incinerated on impact but their burning souls remained at the helm, continuing to command the ship. Traders would sight the ship thinking that it was a distant star, but radar would identify this as a ship instead. To this day many traders avoid any trade routes known for Burning Jack sightings fearing bad luck to their trade missions.

Bones — Corsair Class — NightCrawler — The NightCrawler Bones was said to have been ingested whole by a giant space whale and years later spotted inside of the hollowed remains of it’s behemoth rotten corpse. It was said that the zombie whale would reanimate and violently attack any who would dare enter the resting grounds of the space whale graveyard.

NightCrawler — The NightCrawler was based on a stolen XRB-9134 blueprint. The overall body of the ship was redesigned to function as a quick stealth fighter for recon and spy missions.

Ghost — Corsair Class — NightCrawler — The Ghost is a legend among FSC Dark Revenant pirates. The Ghost was lost in space when attempting to enter a Black Hole pursuing a huge source of freely drifting trilite. Traders would often report seeing a NightCrawler ship aimlessly cruising through space with a ghostly veneer. If a hapless trader would ever venture too close that would be the last anyone would ever see of them…

Bloody Werewolf — Prometheus Class — Dreadsaber — The Bloody Werewolf was a Dreadsaber starship under command of Odious Voltaire from the original Dark Revenant fleet. It was lost in the Battle of the Moons but it’s wreckage was never found. Legend has it that when the Moons align a piercing howl can be heard for miles and the Bloody Werewolf appears from a portal to hunt down any who dare enter the system.
Base Ship Details
Dreadsaber — The Dreadsaber was designed when one of the top Dark Revenant Pirates commandeered a Nightsaber from the GFI. It was gutted and rebuilt to the Dread Pirates specifications. The Dreadsaber dropped the ice mining beam, and gained a more aggressive personality.
The Dreadsaber has the same stats as the Phoenix Nightsaber, and is a First Fleet ship (Note: this ship does not have the pre-equipped Ice Mining Beam)
Restless Souls — Prometheus Class — Dreadsaber — The Restless Souls Dreadsaber was said to have been discovered abandoned with all escape pods intact and adrift with no sign of attack. Scans from the first salvagers who found the ship indicated a valuable bounty of resources aboard but after boarding they were never heard from again. Despite warnings many salvagers continually tried to salvage the lucrative ship, but again, no one ever returned. Although now a thing of lore, stories occasionally emerge of sighting a mysterious glowing ship, said to be illuminated by the souls of those prospecting travelers trapped eternally onboard.
