Captain pick in Combat Recon
We have received a lot of complaints from pilots about the current captain pick mechanics. This is why we decided to change it according to your feedback.
While the new mechanics are in development, we’ve reinstated the previous version of captain pick.
At the moment of captain pick the part of the team with better ratings is displayed
The captain is chosen randomly from the selected pilots
Custom battle
We found out that some players have been using Custom battle to hold unfair battle with the purpose of getting higher ratings. We have reacted to this with a number of measures:
Pilots no longer receive the following rewards for PvP Custom battles:
Credits
Synergy
Medals
Rating adjustments
Endorsements
Trophies
PvE custom battles remain unchanged
