    so, some people were talking about this somewhere. And I decided to make up what it would be like.
    NOTES: it unlocks at capt. level 10, and there would be 1 boss event every month, replacing the league for that 7 day period.

    A. OVERVEIW:
    you and 4 more people would fight a boss boat and its minons. By doing damage, healing, and winning, you get event tokens, which you can buy rewards with.

    B. HOW YOU DO IT
    1. look above the battle button.
    2. press the BOSS button located where you are looking.
    3. if boss battles are not going on, you will see a count down to the next boss battles.
    4. if they are, you see the picture and name of the boss, a 'fight' button, and 2 tabs where the chat and guild chat are, one with a leaderboard simble, and another with a shopping cart.
    5. the tab with the leaderboard simble will show you who has colected the most event tokens, and the other one with show you the event shop, explaned later.
    6. click on fight and battle!

    C. THE BATTLE
    you will be matched with 4 others like nornal matchmaking. However, the unfreindlys will be replaced with the boss and their goons, if any.
    the battle will start and play out like normal, exept that the boss must be destroyed to win. If you win, you get no infamy or stars, but get a certain amount of event tokens (up to 999) based on the "secret sause" of star earning. You get no tokens if you drop infamy like you get no stars if you seal club. (I am aware that they are the same thing, it just sounds better if you use 2 words)

    D. EVENT SHOP
    Now you can do the good stuff... Buying stuff! Once you open the event shop tab, you se the list of curency (gold, sugar, stars, pearls) items, (random rarities and items, dupes cost 2.5 times as much as normal) and perks (random)
    also, there are a new kind of perks called special perks in the shop. These perks correspond and are somtimes used by the boss, so you won't see each one every event.

    E. THE BOSSES

    1. CRASH AND BURN

    background: these two brothers and their gang are the scorge of the sea in their custom oversized shooters. In fact, one of the main areas that they raid was named after them.

    these two are a duo, and they will be together. you have to defeat them both to win!

    stats:
    crash has more hp, turret rotation and weapons than burn, but burn has more speed and agilaty than crash, and is also craftier and less likly to be tricked by your tactics.
    crash has cannons with fire damge perks, and burn has fire weapons with fire dmg perks.

    ai:
    CRASH: get in there, shoot whatever burn sets on fire, and kill stuff. And shoot stuff.
    BURN: set the most dangerous enemy on fire, try not to be shot. If crash dies, retreat back to the underlings and use them as cannon fodder.
    GANG MEMBERS AS A WHOLE: shoot stuff, don't die
    fixer: heal crash/burn, stay with them and give your life for them if needed.
    speeder: hit n run. Hit n run
    shooter: KILLSTUFFSHOOTSTUFF




    TO BE CONTINUED WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME...

    What would the boss be? A ship with the weapons of an mk7 shooter, the speed of a mk7 speeder, the turret speed of a mk7 enforcer, the health on a mk7 defender, and the yellow slots of a mk7 speeder?

    I like the idea! Maybe the boss is like a bigger ship. And the minions are just mk1s.

    If it's going to work with event tokens you need levels. Starting at mk1s and then the final would be vs ships equivalent to mk8s. And the teams composition should be one of each type of ship. Besides the mk going up the skill level of the bots also needs to increase so technically you could have say 20 or so levels per boss event. Or make it a 100 level or whatever thing that goes on all the time.

    I have an idea, let's match higher league, infamy people against lower infamy people, the higher guys can be the boss, it'll be fun.
