Stay tuned to monitor the changes in the trading system. We will announce the changes in advance in the project news.
Weapons and modules
Added a new module “Structure analyzer” for the “Mole” ship
- CPU modifier
- Periodically scans space for the presence of asteroids
- Additionally, it increases critical damage on a permanent basis
- Can be purchased with galactic standards
Balance changes
Weapons, ammunition and missile slot
“Nailer” Gun
- Projectile speed increased from 4200 to 5700 m/sec.
- Reduced maximum spread to 1.5 degrees.
- Increased cooling time to 1.5 sec.
- Increased aiming time to 2 sec.
The parameters and accuracy of the weapon left much to be desired. It was difficult to hit the target with this weapon due to its low projectile velocity (about half that of the “Assault Railgun”) and strange projectile dispersion.
Coil Mortar
- Increased range of fire up to 4000 m.
This change should increase the effectiveness of the weapon at long range. Now when using this weapon, players have to fly closer to enemies than it was intended.
Crystal defence drone
- Drone’s active time increased by 5 sec.
Without implants to reload the modules, these drones work for 30 seconds and on the ship Ze’ta they are activated almost at the last moment. That is, after the first drone reaches the last seconds of its active time, you must not miss the moment and activate the next one in time, provided that you still have enough energy. This change will not affect the gameplay, but it will allow us to close this minor “gap”.
Special modules and implants
- Emperor landing platforms
- Drone damage is reduced by 50% when landing on platforms.
- Drone attack radius reduced from 6300 to 5000 m.
The change is designed to reduce the destroyer’s defensive potential upon close contact with it.
“Stasis” protocol
- Increased the speed aura’s bonus time duration
The speed bonus fades gradually towards the end of the special module’s active time and Polar Bear doesn’t have time to accelerate by the time there a large speed bonus appears.
Combat reconstructor
- Reload time increased from 25 to 35 sec.
- Now the damage radius does match the visual radius of the cloud.
When the module is used, the survivability of the ship increases if there is an enemy in range. With such a fast reload the ship received a strong survivability all too often.
“Twin” protocol
- The recovery time of the second ship after destruction is increased from 25 to 35 sec.
This change should reduce the survivability potential of Tornado, which is especially hard to counter in “Combat Recon” mode, when one half flies to one end of the map and the other half flies to the other.
Adaptive resonator
- Now it shows the number of allies in range.
This will allow players to choose the right time to activate the module
Wormhole Stabilizer
- Reduced the time limit for repeated warp through the wormhole to 10 sec.
The players don’t use the opportunity to pass the wormhole in the opposite direction due to a long a penalty. These edits are designed to correct this issue.
Condensing crystals
- Initial damage increased by 1250, final damage increased by 4250.
- Cooldown has been reduced to 15 sec.
- Increased the minimum size of the cloud up to 100 m.
Not popular, weak and very situational module, which needs an upgrade in comparison to its analogues.
Guided torpedo
- Reduced duration of the radioactive cloud to 8 sec.
- Cloud damage increased by 25%
This change is designed to make the cloud more useful. Now it is suitable only for beacon control.
Warp-vortex
- Host damage reduced to 200 pts.
It’s a bit unfair that a non-damage special module damages the ship twice as much as a special module with a similar feature.
Crystallid swarm, balanced swarm
- Time of impact on the target when attacking increased by 3 sec.
The attack time is mostly spent catching up with the target, after which the swarm returns to the ship. This is extremely inconvenient, as the first swarm in the special module doesn’t have time to catch up with targets, and it’s essentially not fulfilling its function of defense. The Special Module 2 attack mode also has this flaw, and this mode of impact on any target except frigates was extremely ineffective.
Special module Ze’ta cloud mode 3
- Bonus to turns increased to 25%.
- Bonus resistance reduced to 20 pts.
The edit will allow you to use the tactic of staying in your own cloud more effectively, in conjunction with the use of the speed balancer.
Special modules with orbital drones
- The base durability of all Waz’Got drones and the Hive special module is increased by 30%
- All other engineer drones, except for “Vanguard combat drones”: durability increased by 30%.
Drones ceased to perform their function of protecting the ship after the change related to the damage to small objects.
Active modules
Isotope Harvester
- Recovery process is now proportional to the damage dealt, multiplied by 1.25.
In the current state of the meta game at high ranks, with the current strength of shield the destroyer has, the module simply can not restore the amount that is needed to at least cover the damage it receives. This change is intended to increase the actuality of the destroyer.
Mine network
- Now the projectile explodes when the module is used again during the flight.
This will allow for more accurate positioning of mine networks and catching “fast enemies” using them, which was almost impossible to do earlier
Penetrating beam and mobile pulsar
- Specified the damage type in the modules’ descriptions
Mobile pulsar
- The module’s description now states that the module is invulnerable
EM Scattering Field
- The module description now says that the inertia movement does not reset the effect.
Radioactive cloud
- The module’s description now states the time the cloud lasts.
“Stretto” gun system
- Resistance reduction time decreased from 30 to 20 sec.
One shot with this module at the target gives a very strong advantage to Tackler and other ships that are focused on it.
“Squall” launcher
- Now no more than 2 missiles can be aimed at one target (used to be 1 missile).
- The number in the clip has been increased from 3 to 4 pts.
The module had a low module efficiency even when used against 3 opponents in the guidance cone.
Cluster torpedo
- Increased power consumption from 750 to 3000 pts.
This edit should slightly reduce the effectiveness and usability of the module
Landing platform*
- Durability drone increased by 2 times.
- Range increased to 2 km.
- The range of flight (pursuit) is reduced to 3 km.
The drone has very good attack potential, but while on the platform, it most often acts as a target, regularly getting destroyed. The edit will allow the drone to be active after 1-2 shots in flight and better serve as a protective turret in his hemisphere, at the cost of reduced pursuit range.
Devastator beam:
- Cooldown has been reduced by 3 sec.
At the moment the module significantly loses in damage to its main competitor - the pyro emitter, while having the same cooldown time. It deals almost the same damage to the drones, taking into account the multiplier, and does not live up to its name. This edit will allow you to destroy the barriers and battle stations more effectively.
Waz’Got battle station
- In the second version of the development of the plant’s second stage, the regeneration is increased by 100 pts., but the basic number of pts. for its repair is increased by 30 pts.
200 units of additional regeneration does not give the same effect of survivability as 35 units of resistance. 100 regeneration units is an insignificant amount, but will still raise the efficiency of this option of upgrading the station and increase its survivability at the cost of energy consumption to repair the station’s hull.
Reflected rage (Hull damage effect):
- The frequency of dealing damage is increased by two times
- Active time reduced to 5 sec.
The module has a shorter duration of the main invulnerability effect (lower than the default overload has by 25%), instead the module was given the effect of damage through the shield, which was later changed to a growing damage. Now players often reset the sight after the first second of the module effect, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the additional effect.
Modifiers
“Reaper-8” converter
- Cooldown increased by 5 sec.
The modifier’s cooldown was too fast, making the saboteur to be over resilient.
Disaster recovery
- Now gives invulnerability for 0.5 seconds when activated
- Now it drops the bomb in “detonation” and “conquest” modes
Now the module has a decreased efficiency while delivering bombs, similar to the emergency barrier and the emergency capsule
Resonating shield:
- Its maximum amount in the slots is limited to 1
- Removed the dependence of damage on the range.
In a radius of up to 500 m., 3 resonating shields combined with a shield drop were able to do tremendous damage. The edit to limit the number of modifiers is designed to remove this significant advantage in this combination, and removing the dependence of damage on the range won’t “kill” this modifier by limiting its number.
Other
- Reduced the effect of weakening auras of cover frigates in the “Portals” mode
Cover frigates in this mode have a too low survivability parameter - they are destroyed faster than the engineer. This makes them useless in this mode, which limits the amount of usable tactics.
Miscellaneous
- The Sectors map now has an icon that indicates locations that are available only for squads
- The descriptions of certain missions have been specified
