Developer blog. Entry 124. Lost constellations
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: Lost constellations” 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. The event itself will run in parallel with the main battle pass “Galactic crossroads” and will end in the beginning of March.
All pilots who complete the new “UMC Archives: Lost constellations” event will be able to get a new rank 16 gunship “Aperion”, 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.
At the end of December, all pilots will have access to the new gunship “Apeiron”.
“Apeiron” is the latest gunship developed under the leadership of Gabriel Hugot, embodying the dream of a spherical ship. The ship has passed all tests, equal in complexity to the Empire’s technical military trials. It is produced in small batches, including by UMC orders.
A spacecraft can be any shape since it’s away from any atmosphere, as long as it has enough propulsion and maneuvering engines. One of humanity’s favorite shapes is the sphere. Gabriel Hugot wanted to bring this shape to life. His company began designing a fighter created using extreme symmetry technology in 4623, and the development was kept secret for two years. He presented the “Apeiron” fighter to the public only when it was already finished. The main difficulty in development was creating complete symmetry in the ship’s systems. A separate challenge was creating the pilot’s cabin and overload compensation system, which was significantly more complex than that of the Object NY18. Rumour has it that Gabriel was able to obtain several samples of Precursor technology and his engineers were able to adapt it for the “Apeiron”. The gunship, developed under Hugot’s leadership, passed all tests equal in complexity to the Empire’s technical military trials. At the moment, the ships are made to order on a small scale. The UMC is one of the customer organizations.
