A new week has come, and with it a new patch and new features in the game!
This time, we decided to treat you with a new system of battle participation.
Say your resounding «No!» to the tactics of hiding behind asteroids! Go on and give it your all in desperate battles!
In this new patch, beginners as well as old-timers will be able to take an equal part in the battle, providing a contribution to the victory of their team.
You just joined the fight and only after a couple of minutes all of your ships have been destroyed by the enemy? This is no longer a problem!
Corporations are willing to support the pilots fighting on their side and provide a continuous arrival of reinforcements from the main ship of the fleet.
The ships now don't sustain critical damage that stops them from participating in fight, and after a while they can rejoin the battle.
Infinite respawns should spur our veterans to commit to more decisive action.
Just imagine how much combat potential is open to you now!
From now on, it's all-out fighting to the very end.
Don't be afraid to experiment, try new weapons and modules.
One can endlessly change tactics, coming up with more and more original models of attack and defense, inventing clever deceptive maneuvers.
And, most importantly, — «asteroid peek-a-boo» can be left only for the most hardcore snipers!
