Pilots! We continue to share the latest changes that will appear on the game servers in the upcoming updates. Soon we are expecting an update of Open Space, new modes, maps, unique events and much more! Today we will briefly tell you about new ships and the latest project — “Seed-Chips”! Seed-Chips UMC published the first data on the so-called “Seed-Chips,” a unique prototype for improving its ships. Judging by some data, the first Seed-Chips appeared when access to the Artuga system was opened. Enclave pirates distribute their products to mercenaries using covert delivery routes. Studies in UMC laboratories have shown that Seed-Chips change the key characteristics of ship modules in a special way. Each Seed-Chip is unique and influences changes in its own way. Special technology for merging Seed-Chips enables pilots to independently obtain chips with new higher parameters. Sources and production technologies of Seed-Chips are still not clear, therefore their use is allowed only in battles against AI, in PvE missions and Open Space. Pilots should install pirate technology at their own risk! New modules with random parameters and random characteristics that improve weapons and damage abilities of the ship. There will be many modules, players will be able to combine them to make the modules stronger. Up to five modules can be installed on a ship Federation engineering frigate “Hammerhead” Hammerhead, the latest engineering frigate, was created at the very beginning of the invasion at the “Outpost” shipyard. The use of this ship allowed Armada to repel the attacks of Aliens, without incurring significant losses, until the end of the active phase of the invasion. Among the features of this vessel, it is worth noting the variable geometry of the wing, thanks to which, Hammerhead significantly surpasses other ships of its class in manoeuvrability. The ship is equipped with a unique special module. When activated, an autonomous repair station is installed that produces a powerful repair kit, drones with a small repair kit or combat drones, depending on the selected parameters. The active module sets up a spherical mobile barrier, providing ships with additional cover. Critical hits with the unique weapon create repair kits available to all allies to restore their durability. Federation interceptor “Marten” A Sci-Tech Universal interceptor, created in the laboratories of the Artuga system. At the moment, Marten is their main achievement in the field of military equipment. Equipped with a unique special module, creating a wormhole used to move the ship. The active module reveals the location of opponents and slows down their hull durability regeneration. And a special weapon releases reverse electromagnetic waves, reinforcing the interceptor's attacks. The wait is almost over! Stay tuned, and see you in space!

That's why I said this: We shall wait and see if the devs have the ability to think logically and use reason while making changes about the game or considering what needs to be changed.

We even see aliens in regular pvp now, I thought they were here during Halloween [tasteless addition but lets say some liked the prank], but now I see them all the time. There's that crap gravity alien that pulls players at it, well u cant tell who's who.....Instead off having a nice clean field we put an extra effort to make it worse ! Remove the aliens please, the pvp already suffers as is, no need to make it completely unplayable......unless of course THAT is the point !

Pilots! Urgent message from the UMC. Aliens have been showing suspicious activity, as they did a couple of months ago. Be careful, uncontrolled opening of portals is detected during battles. According to our sources, Cybers are behind these attacks. This may be the beginning of the next Invasion stage! All pilots need to prepare their ships for full-scale combat operations.

tracer plasma gun is niche usage, there are other interceptor weapons which outperform it nanolocator is worse than microlocator covert ops drone is only good for keeping yourself alive, you can just use a shield booster instead if it bothers you faria is far from useful on a federation recon duelist is a global recon modifier, any recon can fit it if you own the correct version The special module sounds like a short range jump which if similar to Nightingales can be deemed useful as Nightingale is still relevant thanks to the short range jump allowing for a quick and safe disengagement from unfavourable battles. Recons overall are one of the best classes in the game and even the weakest of recons are highly viable in objective based game modes - Marten is likely to be no exception.

With a bomb you can not warp through the gate. More precisely, it goes astray.(You may not be understood correctly.)

Pilots! An important update has been uploaded to the servers: Miscellaneous The preparation of the game world for the New Year update Bug fixes Fixed a number of bugs that occurred during trade transactions Improved stability of game servers The update's description reflects the key changes in the game and does not contain a comprehensive list of all changes. Changes aimed at the development of the game world are made regularly and may not require the release of an update.

Pilots! UMC scientists record a decrease in the wave of abnormal energy. Halloween time is over this year. Ships Destroyer Ze'ta Revised the ship's construction cost Destroyer Black Ghost Currently, the ship is blocked and using it is impossible! This ship is available to players annually only during the “Halloween” event. Stay tuned! Modules Active module “Main caliber” The weapon is always available to players. For use on other destroyers, you must remove the module from the ship “Black Ghost” Trading A progressive taxation scale for trade transactions has been introduced. If the sum of your sales per week is: less than 500 GS, then the sales tax is not applied, less than 2000 GS — the tax will be 10% of the sale, less than 4000 GS — the tax will be 20% of the sale, less than 10000 GS — the tax will be 30% of the sale, over 10000 GS — the tax will be 50% of the sale. Tournaments Weekly tournament rewards have been changed. Now, participants in the tournaments of ranks 7-9 will get: 350 iridium for 3 victories 200 iridium for 2 victories 100 iridium for 1 victory The tournaments will no longer be held at 04:00 MSK. Miscellaneous For outdated resources, a separate tab has been made in the warehouse The Last Man Standing mode has been added to custom battles The GS reward for the task “Veteran” is replaced by a container with a set of resources Bug fixes Fixed price display in sales announcements Fixed bug of improving the module “Main Caliber”

@niripas, yes derailed because the subject of this thread is why or if for that matter, the game is in bad shape. Whether the Vs AI is the most successful game mode or the worse isn't directly relevant to the topic. In your opinion the player base has matured and play Vs AI, 1st I wouldn't call that maturity and 2nd why would we downgrade the best part of the game which is pvp - imo that is. To be honest, when the new layout came [some months ago] I saw the leading game mode Vs AI [its 1st when we click battle] and gave me the impression the publisher/developer wants to downgrade the pvp hence promoting at the 1st spot of the game modes the Vs AI. Now, 2 GMs are confirming that......Naturally [at least in public] you guys should agree, but regardless I don't, not to mention that 2 opinions plus a few alts of yours will not actually create a solid number with up votes for the horrid Vs AI. Lets agree to disagree on this and discuss it no further but a side note, according to xXThunderFlameXx players should stop to care about pvp. Not sure but I see some sort of attempt to change the game's character, players not to care about pvp here would be absurd ! 2late to file a bug report, I haven't taken screenshots nor remember time etc, will do so if that happens again. And yet here we go again, discussing a load of things, literature should be next and other than that the TOPIC of this thread is off topic ! Last time I checked the title was "Why is the game in bad shape" and can confirm its still the same. How about we get back to topic and leave the general discussion on a particular game mode whether is the worse or best. That, regardless, is just ONE game mode and I believe the OP means the game in general with ALL its game modes. Bots in pvp and the atrocity of hot join [joining an existing game and usually near the end and/or with the losing team] are the result of low player count. I doubt a poll here where players would vote whether they enjoy pvp more than any other game mode would give correct figures. Perhaps a vote in the game's client with say a nominal amount of GS as reward for the vote would be best. The amount should be low but not insultingly low, such that the player would totally ignore, perhaps 100 or 150 GS would do it. Then, if that happens we shall a more clear picture as to what the pvp stands for the SC's player base. Some may say that the players asked for the hot join, but I really wonder, WHERE are those players now......I'd prefer to wait and get a decent full time round than eat what the mm wants to feed me with the current model. As for the bots, hell yeah remove the damn things and if it'll be just 1 v 1, so be it. Better than the totally brainless bots which some times aren't that brainless and will give the win to whichever team the mm wants.

Nice job

So, another question. Will crystal neocortex and archeocortex be removed in the future?

When are we going to see alien ships drop alien items? or any items for that matter Are we going to see better container drops in open space hard to fight areas? Will there ever be a time when in a PVP area, you will get items off/from the ship and not just the cargo?

Easy peasy suggestion: remove bots from PvP. They are very un-fun to play with. If we want to play against bots we will select vsAI mode.

Bots are just the best.

One more Con: bots often doing things opposite of objectives that lead directly to losing the match. I.e. Activating spectre field while you carry the bomb-lose the bomb or during caping the beacon-caping stops. Also going straight towards the enemy one by one and getting killed. All that combined and being said,cons outweigh the pros. Lower que time to get in a game with bots,no thanks. Ill rahther play 1vs1 game or no game at all.

TL;DR: there aren't enough concurrent players for the matchmaker to make games without long queue times 24/7 and therefore the developers think it's best to add bots when there aren't enough players to make a game. The bots are always the best players in PvP... XD. This is quite a problem because matching games is quite hard during certain hours: the PvP pool gets exhausted very quickly during Sector Conquest and even Portals times and, in North America, during the evening, queue times are very long. One (somewhat) valid method of fixing this problem is adding bots to the queue so that matches can be made more quickly. Apparently, in the eyes of the developers, this leads to higher quality games than the alternative with no bots. You would be waiting at least 10 minutes (sometimes the population is so low that there is only one game running), and still getting an extremely large skill gap between the best and worse players in the game. Pros of adding bots: Lower queue times since long queues (longer than 3-5 minutes) are less often. A minimum amount of players can be set without having these long queue times. Multiple different games can run even with a low amount of players. Cons of adding bots: Not obvious to a new player that they have bots on their team or are against some bots. Bots have extremely high damage output when they aggro to you and have incredibly high accuracy, sometimes you just get instantly killed by a bot in a situation where you otherwise would not die Bots do not play to objectives and if you lack the ships to effectively play the mode (example: you don't have interceptors in domination but the other team does) then you basically lose. This is a common problem. Bots limit their ship pools and play a very slow play style, and are only suited to defending one are or playing team battle. Bots do not communicate, and often will not listen to target pings. It's up to the developers to accurate weight the pros and cons of adding bots: whether or not they are capable of doing this, we will only know when they remove bots from PvP in my opinion.

1. sounds nice, i have it. but it's still 50% help to know before what that is. The thing is to see if you have it in storage. This way, you can leave it there if you have too many, or if you don't need it. 2. custodian is not on the website, so no idea where one can buy it (the ship) or the parts; 5. no aima, no drones. Most of the times this was happening on cov-ops. Firing means the main weapon, not the drones. 7. Ok, you know what i mean. Travian style ha ha, it works perfectly. 8. Had no idea about that, let's hope Santa will bring some more powerful servers, to handle 100 vs 100 ha ha
