Greetings to all PhaigeX employees.
Our busy people here at Development are still hard at work to deliver new content for the workplace. Research and development of new weapons and passives for the powerup pack are still progressing as scheduled. Please look forward to them at a future post, since the people here still need to test them on live battle scenarios.
For now, as part of the Powerup Pack Milestone, here is what we are currently working on.
CUSTOMIZE: SHIP MODIFIERS
Replacing the old "spend Warp Cores to randomize a stat" upgrade, is the Ship Modifiers system. These equippable modifiers upgrade the ship in a lot of ways. Modifiers (Mods for short) can change as simple as a ship's stats, or as complex as providing bonuses and benefits for playing a certain style.
Each ship has 3 Modifier Slots for the type of benefit it gives:
- Offensive - bonuses to ship attacks
- Defensive - bonuses to ship protection
- Support- bonuses to either the Player Ship or Support Craft
These Mods can be acquired in two ways:
First, as a result of a Warp Call. Aside from acquiring dupe stat bonuses, there is also a warp call result that the dupe ship will instead, have a Modifier attached.
Second, as a reward for Ending a Run. When you finish a run (in a victory or defeat state), there is a chance of this reward screen to appear if you have a lot of unused Requisition Points (RP). Choose the one you can afford for the ship that you were piloting.
Once you acquired the Mod, it will be available at the Customize screen to be equipped only for one particular ship (the dupe ship in Warp Call, or the Player Ship used for that run). Mix and match ship modifiers to better suit your own play style!
The Ship Modifier system will be released as a part of the Powerup Pack Milestone. So, together with the new stuff, personalize your own ship, and work your way to victory!
Towards a brighter future,
The PhaigeX MegaCorp.
