Midnight Prowl
Not a very important or wildly know by any means, but I think it's a pretty cool topic.
While looking at shipsets a while ago, I came across the very early shipset from the area, "The Midnight Prowl", which was very briefly featured in the very early days on the arena. When the arena closed they mentioned that it would make a return sometime in the future, but it was been quite the while sense then and I'm afraid it will be forgotten about. So to bring some life back into this topic, trying to think of some fun ways to bring it back (that wouldn't just be the emporium). I believe that the ship has been mentioned in the Demarco mystery in one of the journals (and I think the journals sported midnight prowl's livery), but it has been a while with no other mention of the ship.

Can be seen well at the 4:56 timestamp^
Some Ideas:
-
Keep going down the mystery path that the ship has been hinted in, and have it be a reward for completing the story segment. This would be a nice enticer to actually go out and complete the mysteries, while still having a tie into the arena with it being involved with Demarco. My only worry is that this will probably take forever and may get stalled out like it is now.
-
Make it a reward similar too the Wandering Reaper set where there is a strong PVP tie in, but also includes some PVE, all with a lot of stakes! Maybe it wouldn't be as directly related to the arena, but it would be nice to earn it in a way that relates to the idea of what arena was and what it players did. The Midnight and Wondering Reaper also have a similar color scheme, so it would be a cool reward for a throwback event (While keeping the OGs happy).
-
Integrate it into hourglass has a reward. Would be a way to bring it back that focus on PVP, but I think it would be a underwhelming way to bring it back, and think there should be a event tied to it.
But there's more!! (I'll keep it brief)
When doing my research on the Midnight shipset I came across a image of what looks to be some legacy arena ship sets in the early stages of development, and I honestly think they look super sick! (From what I can see).
Maybe bring these back as an arena anniversary event (whatever that would be) or something to the sort, would be a cool way to bring back these cool old sets.
Looking for some feedback and ideas on this, as I would like to see this set(s) out on the seas again!
