Guns of Icarus 10th Anniversary Celebration

Hey there Engineers, Pilots, and Gunners!
This year we're celebrating our 10th birthday! 10 years of airships, rams, explosions, and friends.
A Note from Us Devs
To all the privateers, captains, and crew that have ever braved the skies over the wastelands, we want to thank you from the bottom of our souls for supporting us over the last decade.
A decade! Before we set out, we had a dream of making something that people hadn’t quite experienced before, but we certainly didn’t imagine that 10 years later, people would still be playing and supporting the game. Thank you for making our dream come true.
When we started, we had just been digging out a predatory publisher relationship, and we released Guns on the day of a category 3 hurricane. We honestly weren’t sure if we were going to make it or even be able to support the game. Many times I have had those life flashing before my eyes moments - servers blown up, DDoS’ed, hurricane, studio space burnt down, etc. Each time, we found strength and comfort in everyone’s support. All the interactions on forums and at conventions, all the late nights we spent with you in game, chit-chatting about life in the lobbies of Icarus, they mattered, and they kept us going.
When matches did start, it was amazing to see how much creativity and teamwork were possible, way beyond our imaginations and machinations. The thousands of feedback we worked on with you turned into close to 6.5M matches played, 24M ships destroyed, and 8.8B shots fired in the skies. These stats still look surreal to us.
In the last few years, we’ve had to shift our focus to create new game experiences such as Hamsterdam, Embr, and now Wildmender, in order to survive as a team and studio. We’ve handed the reins of game management to our interns, moderators, CAs, and dedicated players. We wanted to take a moment to thank them for all their support - Richard LeMoon, Portable Grump, Lysanya, Kajros, Loosepolygon, Alpha Sierra, Infinity Omelette, Delorum, Josie. Nerdhector, -Genesis, D.Strought, Zetnus, MaddBoi, Abby, Mr Trickery, Nedsvart, Sandy Hawkins, Tindwunnel, Frostbound, Teaco, Psi Crow, Saldarim, Bookkeepper, Krybon, Captainjan, Sprinkler, Ortagon, Chickenrun, Ambiorix, Coldcurse, FrozenHotSauce, Guras, Huskyneer, Mr.Moonwalker, Zyem, and others. We would not have gotten this far without you. Thank you for everything!
We made this game for you, and we’re so thankful that 10 years after release, we get to write this note. To more years in the skies!
Giveaway Event
To celebrate this improbably and special milestone, we're giving away a big pack of goodies, including:

An exclusive new title
A fancy dye + outfit bundle
A crew loadout slot
A ship loadout slot
Additionally, we are asking for your help to Wishlist our new project called Wildmender. For your support, we would like to offer an exclusive new themed outfit based on our new game, Wildmender. You’ll also receive a code to unlock a pair of exclusive hats in Wildmender once they’re ready!
Wildmender is our new project in development. It is an open world survival experience set in an arid world. You get to explore the land, cultivate an oasis, and bring the world slowly back to life.
On top of that, we’ll also enter you into a giveaway for one of these wonderful faction banners! These are one of a kind, so please tell us which one you’d like if you win. 4 banners, 4 lucky winners!

Anglean Republic
Mercantile Guild
Fjord Baronies
Order of Chaladon
Here’s the Steam page to wishlist:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599330/Wildmender/
If you email us a screenshot of your Wildmender wishlist to [email protected], we’ll send you a code for all of the items! This giveaway will end November 14th, 2022 at 12pm UTC
Happy Anniversary and happy Halloween!

Probably cursed.

It is a pumpkin and you put it on your head. Put a snazzy hat on top and hit the town.
Mechanical Frontier Hat
Available in the store

Nobody is quite sure how it works, or what it even does -- only that it brings good luck to those who venture into the wastelands wearing it, and that it is the most fuel-efficient hat out there.
Roman Centurion Helmet
Available in the store.

A helmet worn by Roman Centurions -- Roman military officers who held command of 100 Roman Legionaries. Many, many years and a few apocalyptic events later, some airship captains and crew wear these as a tribute to those ancient warriors. They’re also pretty practical as head protection in airship battles, too.

And More!
Most costumes can now be used by any class. They must still be earned through class progression.
The Workshop is now accepting colored decals.
Balance:
Wall Rose An alternate armed version of Wall Maria that dislikes anyone being near it. Two large force guns will hammer any ship that gets too close. First use will be on the modified Scars of Lutessa map (see below). Image shows the new, more hefty wall model.
Wall Maria - added end caps and more bracing, adjusted collision hitboxes, and added an internal device to discourage trying to ram through the wall. Damage taken reduced. Walls will be harder to kill now
AI Emplacement tool adjusted. This is the tool used exclusively by AA turrets and walls. It will now put out fires and repair at a rate similar to the failsafe
Boss Hades changed from chain to cluster Hades. Less dangerous mid to long range, more dangerous close range
AI enemy extinguisher changed to prevent fire locking
Adjusted Anglean Frigate mass and movement.
Small adjustment to Anglean Corvette hitboxes.
Duel at Dawn expanded 500 meters to a 4x4 grid from a 3x3 grid and new map image added. Wind removed and spawns moved further away from each other
Crew AI have increased accuracy on guns
Scars of Lutessa changed from Intercept to Assault with some trial changes. Players now start in the opposite corner and travel to the dam. This Assault will have AA turrets and Walls that block the path to the next base. This is a very challenging map. We will tune this map with live feedback.
Shrike hitboxes changed to better fit the model
PvE: Armor kit lasts until destroyed. Does not degrade noticeably over time
Fixes:
Clarified Tempest missile description
3v3 added to Misty Mutiny
3v3 added to Misty Mutiny
Adjusted Squid decal position, size, and rotation for better viewability
Loading image and map for Batcave Returns cave map concept testbed
Fixed misplaced flag on Valentine Crusader theme
Fixed Embr theme axe misplacement on Spire and Pyramidion
