So now it’s half brokeOur friends were discussing when BGS Broke, was it PP 2.0, was it Trailblazers, when did it break? (Cockney Accent) - Blimey - It all began with PP 2.0, bloke!

Though no Power has formally acknowledged involvement, analysts believe this early mobilisation suggests a push for influence around HIP 87621.CG NOTE “Merit-palooza”: The large merit awards for mining within the CG system are no longer available, due to revoking the ‘God-Handed’ powerplay state. The only power within 20-30ly is Grom (as it always was), so the ‘normal’ mechanic for getting mining merits there doesn’t work now.Will it come back?...Dev News: New paint job - “ https://www.elitedangerous.com/store/catalog/promoHalloween paint jobsSpectrix for all the new ships - looks like monster teeth on the ships’ backsMalevolent Horror for AnacondaVarious ‘wisps’ (haunt, poltergeist, shade, yurei, revenant, phantasm, horror)Basically pumpkin faces of various sizes for the old shipsOn-foot pumpkin outfitsOn-foot skeleton outfitsOn-foot ‘slimed’ outfitsPumpkin ship decal
