Pilots! We continue to share the latest features that will appear on the game servers in the upcoming updates. Among them are new modes, events, and of course, ships!
The “UMC Archives: Echoes of the Empires” event
Soon, the next “UMC Archives” event will become available to all pilots. It will include a special battle pass, consisting of only one stage and lasting approximately one month. The event itself will run in parallel with the main battle pass “Unknown horizons” and will end in the beginning of September.
All pilots who complete the new “UMC Archives: Echoes of the Empires” event will be able to get a new Jericho rank 17 covert ops interceptor “Pilum”, as well as the modules and weapons of this ship. And those who additionally buy pass packs will get additional bundles of resources, seed-chips and ammunition. You will be able to find them in most of the battle pass levels. We will share more details about the contents of the levels with you during the start of the event. The offer is limited in time and will be available until September 11.
New rank 17 ship “Pilum”
With the start of the event, all pilots will have access to the new Jericho covert ops interceptor “Pilum”.
In addition to their defensive function, the Sentinels also use any opportunity to expand their financial assets. The artificial intelligence keeps its developments secret, but some of its projects are still commercial by nature. For instance, at the end of 4623, the development of a new covert ops ship was announced to a narrow circle of people. Y40-Q290 was one of the most unconventional of the Sentinels’ projects.
In addition to the control unit and adapted AI core, a new manual piloting system was developed for the ship, allowing even individuals without implants to control it. The ship also had a set of unique systems, including a new kinetic weapon, as well as special and active modules.
In 4624, the finished ship went on sale to different factions and the UMC under the name “Pilum”. People immediately noticed the unconventional (for a Jericho ship) shape of the interceptor, and rumours about the ship’s connection to the sudden establishment of a Sentinels’ outpost on the border with the Damned Flotilla and the possible theft of Imperial technology immediately began to circulate. However, the rumours had no effect on the sales, and the videos of onboard systems and weapons tests provided by the Sentinels impressed the public.
The ship is armed with a rapid-fire blaster that can set the enemy on fire with its projectiles. Thanks to the active module, the pilot can temporarily stop the heating of the main weapon of the ship, and the special module reduces the mobility of enemy ships.
You don’t have to wait for long! Stay tuned!
