Happy new Year

Thanks for the continued support, bug reports and feedback and welcome to new players





just felt like a good thing to start the year off with. You have to be level 150 to use it and it has 6 large weapons. So if you wanted to deploy a wall of summoned turrets using the turret beacon, you could do that with this. Or recently the forkworm "big egg" was added for forkworms to hatch out of that help you. But you could also drop 6 photon compression bombs if you really wanted to make sure everyone in the sector was dead....

I'll do an Aralien equivalent before too long
