Out of all the modules, this one is actually worth getting.

The name “crystal plates” and that icon alike many of the passive hull modules would suggest this upcoming new thing to be something for a hull slot.
Yet it says “active module” in the lore description. I haven’t seen it in the code yet so it obviously hasn’t been pushed. I’m looking forward to seeing it Thursday. The countdown timer seems to be a two-week one this time, unlike the month-long first part. That should mean we should be getting the actual module relatively soon.

Is it possible to AG yourself in a guard to collect damage for this ‘Pyro’?
I really doubt it: you must be aiming at your enemy in the precise moment you receive dmg.

>>“then why does these items use the raw material?”
What do you mean?<<To make it short: You need to invest your neodium(in the neodium getting event) in a thing, that has nothing to do with the neoplates, just to finish missions needing them to gain the neodium.
Its a way of encouraging players to play while trying the new items (refreshing the gameplay). A source material avaiable to craft multiple objects which you can try them all if you do the missions. Now if you want to save the max for the last item (assuming you will need extra), you can make the T3 versions of the items, saving up a total of 150 live crystals. I havent been able to hold myself from crafting the T5 version of all items xD
BTW: this is a research, so Ellydium is testing and learning new ways of using live crystals, each time making something more “complex”. The missions are 100% logical

But we all know how the game works here right?
They can make this event only to try new items. But will they?
They can clearly say at the end “Okey, now here are the r14 destroyers before summer end. 360 live crystal to craft it. But no problem, you have zero of them because you used them to do missions during the event.”
That’s something they can do.
And if you think “Nah, they can’t do that. Destroyers aren’t alien based”, then you forgot one thing : SC ships are alien based because they are made with monocrystal. Destroyers are made with mono too. Destroyers are already alien based.
The only thing that may prove this event isn’t for destroyers is because it’s the Ellydium that is doing tests.
Not the Empire or the Federation or Jericho. So they don’t have the tech yet, for them to build new destroyers.
But well, if they want to change the lore to insert new destroyers here, they can easily.

Of course they can xD (about whats not quoted).
What makes you think Ellydium does not has the tech? they have a shipyard, research center being constructed in alien space (and others already working) and are leading in latest researchs.

Ellydium have the tech. But it’s the Empire/Fed/Jeri who don’t have it.
Our destroyers aren’t from the Ellydium faction, but from the Empire/Fed/Jericho.
We can still think that they’ll make an alliance with the 3 big faction “To kill aliens”. But then shouldn’t have they done it from the start, not once they have the tech? Because as far as I know, research have a huge cost. You don’t give it for free to your enemies. So, in theory, r14 destroyers shouldn’t be live crystal based.
I feel like fox is about to get he’s hunter ^^, i’m pretty sure we’ll need live crystal but not directly on the dest maybe more on a mineral or ship part that will use those crystal, just a idea ofc
if you couldn’t get the forth mission done how are you suppose to get this one done?

Ellydium already has contact with UCM, they are working together (like natasha cortez, victor de toro or the last message from Ellydium CEO). They are also selling the blueprints of their prototipes (as weve been able to read at the end of each phase)…probably they will sell the BPs of R14 destroyers and each faction will make its own modifications.
The good thing: We will know the weekend before 6th phase what it will be doing(either really plates for destroyers or a new active/passive module).

As much as I heard it may be a whole new alien ship,really curious about it…
Am i the only one who didn´t get the spec ops mission?

I don’t think.
But maybe we can have modules slots that influence the design of the ship.
Like an hull slot that makes your ships more… Alien.
But I’d be absolutely horrible to develop such feature, so forget about it too. ”)

No one has it yet, we will all have it near the end of the research phase.

Yeah, making a new model for each ship xD

But why would it be a reward during the event? How is it associated with research?
Nay. I doubt that they give a skin out. No it’s more for gameplay. Maybe a dual module like the generator for capacitor slot. The lore behind this is about being the core of the ship. So what would such a thing have as attributes?
And does one checked the sings in leviathan? Or do I need to post screenie?

Its alien.Just think about it,we have alien weaponry and modules,why not have the look too?
Anyone can explain?.. why Natasha Cortés, from Empire, is coodinating shipments of living crystals on Leviathan?
Which is the relation between the Empire and Ellydium Corporation? Or even better… Why is cited Natasha Cortés in the living crystal operation in Leviathan at all? I imagine because it’s important… but why?
Can anyone in Fed/Jericho Station confirm it’s the same mission text?
