HQ has begun releasing the new 3.26 version. Some changes were already introduced in the interim 3.25 versions.

Let’s take a look at what has changed:

Game Modes

• Clans can now request blueprints for the Interceptor, Acolyte, Vulture, Vulcan, and Supreme ships.

Arena Economy

• Contracts for two new pilots have been added to Standard Crypto-cases: Ethan Ward and Ryder Kane, the Dust.
• Vulcan blueprints have been added to the Black Hole galaxy.

New Pilot

• A new legendary pilot, Declan Pierce, has appeared in the Arena. He’s the Head of Security at Exponentialis Corporation. During an attack on one of the company’s research nodes, he personally stopped an agent of the Cyber-Worms Syndicate who was attempting to implant a virus into the corporate network. From the data extracted from the intruder’s device, Exponentialis engineers developed a protocol capable of temporarily redirecting system energy. Since then, Pierce has used this technology to turn his lasers into weapons capable of cutting through even the toughest armor.
• The pilot has the “Armor Cutter” ability. It reduces the Reflect of enemy modules placed on both main ship and support ships. Note that this ability will only affect Lasers on your main ship. Your support ships will deal normal damage.
• The pilot reduces the total Reflect parameter value. However, keep in mind that the Reflect percentage reduction is being calculated as a multiplier, not a subtraction. I.e., the pilot’s Reflect reduction is 10%. The enemy module’s Reflect is 50%. The final Reflect reduction will be calculated as follows: 50 * 0.1 = 5.
• Contracts for this pilot can be obtained with the Pilot Pass, which starts on November 1st. HQ will add new ways to obtain contracts for this pilot in the future.

Modules and Ships

• New unique skins have been added for the Supreme and Destroyer Vega ships. These skins have a special effect similar to one of the Age Eagle skins, called Donut. They are currently hidden from Commanders. They can be obtained during Halloween Anomalies. HQ will later add the option to purchase them in the Skins section.

Visuals

• At the request of the Commanders, HQ has replaced the Nanostim V2 icon. It is now more distinguishable compared to the regular Nanostim icon.

Misc

• Hindi language support has been added.
• Various bugs have been fixed, including an issue with scrolling through the Commander list in the Elite Contest and Arena Cup events.
