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!
“UMC Archives: Call of the unknown” 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 “Heart of darkness” and will end in the beginning of December.
All pilots who complete the new “UMC Archives: Call of the unknown” event will be able to get a new Empire rank 17 recon interceptor “Psiloi”, as well as the modules and weapons of this ship. And those who 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 December 11.
New rank 17 ship “Psiloi”
With the start of the event, all pilots will have access to the new Empire recon interceptor “Psiloi”.
After the Empire fell apart, the Templars had found themselves in a bad position: most of their fleet consisted of elite and ceremonial ships, and their production was dependent on shipyards that were now located in various breakaway territories of the former state. In order to defend their territory from pirates, Aliens, and other small Empires, the Templars required a strong modern fleet. The “Dyrnwyn” ships no longer covered the growing needs of the organisation.
In 4621, the sectors under Templar control suddenly became much safer, as if all the pirates around simply disappeared. At the same time, there were rumours of rare encounters with unknown ships.
It all became clear in 4624, when the Templars suddenly offered the UMC shipyards a contract to assemble the Psiloi recon ship from the already produced parts. At that time, the Templars explicitly stated that the destruction of the pirates was a combat test of the new ship.
The ornate hull of the ship housed not only the basic systems, but also a unique scientific development: a subspace anchor. This device allowed huge boosters to be hidden in a spatial pocket, which the Psiloi pilot could summon at will. The only disadvantage of this design is the impossibility of installing the classic micro-warp engines on the ship.
The UMC plans to start the production of the new recon interceptor in the nearest future, as well as figure out the design of its unique module and weapon with the help of the blueprints provided by the Templars.
You don’t have to wait for long! Stay tuned!
