Hello Starmourners,

It's time for a promo refresh!

ARTIFACTS
---------

We have an AWESOME little pile of brand new and very exciting promo artifacts for you all this time (thanks Neritus!), as follows:

Quantum Cargo Nets - quantum_cargo_nets
Ever wished that space junk could teleport right on into your cargo hold? Well, now it can! This artifact automatically recovers space junk from space entities you kill as long as you have the cargo space.

Y'saari Voidgate Hopper Permits - ship_voidgate_hopper and walk_voidgate_hopper
Want to skip those pesky queues at gatewarp security? These passes will wave you right the way through all the way to your destination. Allows you to GATEWARP to any voidgate from any voidgate when gatewarping - ship and walking versions available!

1 extra featured honors - extra_featured_honor
This handly little gizmo allows you an extra featurable honors slot, to a maximum of 10 slots in total. Stackable.

Also including the recently added:

Last Will = last_will
For hardcore characters. In the event of your untimely death, this artifact will be consumed and 50% of any loose marks will be available to your next hardcore character. Since the artifact is consumed, the credits of this artifact do not roll over into your Hardcore Credit Pool. You can also HARDCORE WILL DESIGNATE <player> to designate the marks to someone else, but it cannot be one of your characters. Otherwise on your next character you can HARDCORE WILL CLAIM to transfer the marks.

Reserved Plot - reserved_plot
For hardcore characters. In the event of your untimely death, this artifact will be consumed and a memorial plinth of your design will be erected on your behalf. Since the artifact is consumed, the credits of this artifact do not roll over into your Hardcore Credit Pool. HARDCORE MEMORIAL contains syntax for designating the memorial room and writing its inscription.

Also throwing homewarp in due to popular demand!

PROMO ITEMS
-----------

We don't have any new promo items for you this time...

.

...

.....

WHAT? Don't I do enough for you, ya bunch of ungrateful... Whaddya want, a flakkin' FIRE BREATHING ROBOT VURBOK TO RIDE AROUND ON LIKE IT'S A PONY?!!

Oh.

You do?

Okay then.

A huge robotic vurbok
This huge robotic predator looks vaguely saurian, though rather than the hues of the jungle that decorate the living creature, this one is made from articulated, gleaming chrome. Though rather more diminutive than its building-sized living counterpart, this robot still stands around four meters tall upon two immense and solid back legs. Its front arms are rather small and stubby, but this is made up for by the fact that its head is a monstrous anvil-shaped wedge, with four optic sensors and an immense mouth filled with a triple row of paristeel teeth. Its tail is likewise deadly, a swinging, articulated whip around five meters long, tipped with spikes.

AND

A raunchy ship themed issue of PawnStarz zine
Initially nothing more than a small disc of polished metal, this familiar object is recognizable to just about anyone as a 'zine, a disposable data stream, often published month-by-month. This 'zine appears to be the latest issue of raunchy adult mag PawnStarz, proudly sponsored by Quickmark Pawn. Each issue adapting to your chosen preferences upon activation, the zine usually features a wide selection of alluring and titillating images and holovids especially tailored to its current reader. This particular issue boasts that it is "Close to bursting with a special selection of sexy pin-up decals for your ship!".

BIG PRIZES
----------

The remaining bonus prizes are as follows:

800 shots - A token of friendship
900 shots - A weapon upgrade token
1000 shots - Bushraki Life Support (bhrk_life_support)
1100 shots - A weapon upgrade token
1200 shots - A token of friendship
