The Scruuge are a sect of radical idealists, motivated by greed and deeply envious of others. The Scruuge claim that the galaxy is too overpopulated, and they directly interfere with trade and government aid programs, especially during busy seasonal trade cycles.

Ships are asked to engage and reclaim any gifts taken by the Scruuge if found.

anyone found the elites yet?

http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php/Scruuge_Vicar

Theres it's page... By the way... Fire on it's foward cannons to disable it's ability... I stated that on the bottom of the Wiki Page

Information plz?

150%... Just because. lol

Fire on it's Hull click the little reticles on the base

Scruuge Xeocore = def-size 15 defense 150: Energy 50
Chamber 1 art 1 min 200 cloak
Scruuge Logistics Plans Limited Item - Holidays Starts a 'Scruuge Logistics' event on a planet of your choice,boosting artifact output on that planet by 20%.This event lasts for 6 days.

and I got stupid chamber.

guessing here... correct method would be kill the repair drones straight away. unless you need to disable Energy Charger to get a killshot on it ignore that and drop hull from then on. Chances are the defense output will have already got boosted 100% killing the repair drones so getting rid of the charger does nothing to deactivate the effect or help in disabling the main ship.

yeah, you're right. I didn't know before, so I spent a ton of enr on it for nothing. It kept repairing.

This boss gives me hope for the game.

Why? It shows dan was actually reading our suggestions, even way back when he wasn't responding for ages.

I just hope he puts the rest of what we asked for in, namely that different legion members can only target certain parts of the ship. I.e Three guys have to blow away the engines before the armour plating gets shredded by 4 other guys, and then finally the hull gets blown apart by last people etc.

Anything that adds more teamwork to the game

Meanwhile Improved Mind Influence is getting more and more useless. I would prefer it if it at least had a 25% effect, not complete pointlessness.
