Hypercharged Bane Emitter²	14	60	+60 invasion-only attack	4.286	NPC: Bane Eidolon	4 Bane Emitters	Image	2,500,000 CR

² The Bane Emitters and Charged Bane Emitters were first available during the Hallows Bane Halloween 2010 event. They were both additionally available during the Hallows Bane Halloween 2011 event, as well as the more powerful Overcharged Bane Emitters and Hypercharged Bane Emitters. If you received one of these weapons after you killed a Bane Revenant or Bane Eidolon, the version you received was based on your rank at the time. Ships Rank 1-49 received the standard version, ships Rank 50-149 received the charged version, and ships Rank 150 and above randomly received either the Overcharged or Hypercharged versions. Once received, these weapons may be used at any time, but they could only be received during the Hallows Bane events. If you haven't got one, wait until Halloween this year for another chance!

Dominion Auto-Blaster	17	230	None	13.529	Battle Market: 184 Red Badges³	4 Dominion Cannons	?	? CR

³ The Dominion Auto-Blaster is an upgrade of, rather than a replacement of, the Dominion Cannon Mark III. To build one, you need to purchase a Dominion Cannon - Mark III for 128 Red Badges, and use a Dominion Auto-Blaster Upgrade on it, which costs a further 184 Red Badges. This makes the actual total cost of each Dominion Auto-Blaster 312 Red Badges. Whilst this makes them very expensive, they have the third highest attack-deck ratio of any weapon in the game, after the Radiant Surge Cannon Mk VIII and Radiant Surge Cannon IX; both of which must be bought for Galaxy Points, which themselves cost real money. This makes the Dominion Auto-Blaster the best weapon in the game that cannot be bought with real money.

⁴ The Ion Pulse Ballistae reduces your max energy by 40 per Ion Pulse Ballistae when equipped, therefore if all four Ion Pulse Ballistae are equipped, they will reduce your max energy by 160. If unequipped, your max energy will return to normal. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that you unequip all of your Ion Pulse Ballistae before you level up or use Energy Boosters, such as an Energy Cube, Tri-Matrix Emblem, or Insignia of Independence, to ensure you receive the maximum energy refill possible from these artifacts. Also do the same thing before you rank up.

⁵ The Exotic Pulser reduces your max energy by 10 Per Exotic Pulser when equipped, therefore if all three available Exotic Pulsers are equipped, they will reduce your max energy by 30. If unequipped, your max energy will return to normal. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that you unequip all of your Exotic Pulsers before you level up or use Energy Boosters, such as an Energy Cube, Tri-Matrix Emblem, or Insignia of Independence, to ensure you receive the maximum energy refill possible from these artifacts. Also do the same thing before you rank up.

⁶ Applies a disguise to your ship that makes it appear to be a Dark Smuggler to any other ship that targets you, that is to say, it hides your Race and Profession.

⁷ While Installed: Zolazin, Spies, and Hackers get double the Cloak bonus; meanwhile, Konqul, Drannik, and Raiders get double the Attack bonus.

Radiant Weapons

Currently only one type of Radiant Weapon is available, the Radiant Surge Cannon.

Radiant Surge Cannons are obtained by purchasing the Radiant Surge Cannon artifact from the Artifact Market at a price of 48 Galaxy Points. When the Radiant Surge Cannon artifact is used from your trade menu, a Radiant Surge cannon will be created and installed on your ship. The Radiant Surge Cannon that is produced changes depending on what your ship's rank is at the time the artifact was used to create the weapon.

Note: if your level increases whilst you have have one of these weapons, the Cannon will NOT upgrade to match your new level; you will need to buy a new Radiant Surge Cannon for more Galaxy Points. The actual cost of the Cannons is the same regardless of your level.

The highest Cannon observed on a player is Mark IX (9). It is believed that this is the highest available level, as there are players at level 1700+ that still have Mark IX's installed. Note that whilst the Mark IX's are the most powerful Surge Cannons, they have a WORSE damage-deckspace ratio that the Mark VIII's (8's). They are therefore not as powerful as they *should* be.
