Developer blog. Entry 120. - “Chronicles of the last days”
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: Chronicles of the last days” 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 “Allies and rivals” and will end in the beginning of June.
All pilots who complete the “UMC Archives: Chronicles of the last days” event will be able to get a new unique rank 16 engineering frigate MPRS “Hellas”, 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 June 5.
New ship MPRS “Hellas”
In the beginning of May, all pilots will have access to the unique engineering frigate MPRS “Hellas”.
The Multi-Purpose Repair Ship, aka MPRS “Hellas”, was designed by engineers of the Free Worlds of Eridan to replace the obsolete Raptor-type engineering frigates.
The Free Worlds were unable to afford to purchase new Armada frigates, and so their engineers sought alternative ways to solve the problem.
Named after the destroyed capital city, the MPRS “Hellas” is an adaptation of the New Empire’s experience with the “Bark-2”. The original blueprints for the modified hull used during the First War for the Bartle Sector were discovered on one of the abandoned Direktorium bases during a scientific expedition. Grasping the opportunity, the engineers of the Worlds of Eridan set to work.
The planetary bomber was heavily modified to meet military requirements. The first tests in 4624 proved the success of the scientists, and soon the MPRS “Hellas” began entering service in small batches.
In 4625, the UMC analysts noticed the potential of the ship. Initially, the center’s leadership wanted to order a large batch of ships for internal use, but it became clear that the remaining shipyards of the Free Worlds of Eridan had no capacity to fulfill the order and the contract was renegotiated. Currently, the UMC has the exclusive right to produce MPRS “Hellas” ships, and every mercenary of the center has the opportunity to order one.
