Ok, the new build (code name: Shigure Kai Ni) is now online. Here's the list of what's new in this update.
- New campaign mission, mission 9: Thermopylae is now available for play. This time, you're a USAF pilot call sign Skull-1 piloting brand new transformable Battle Frame M5 Viper guarding Ecuador orbital elevator from well… a Kirov class destroyer, 2 St.Petersburg class corvette, about a hundred of fighter and Battle Frame.
- It’s 4 M5 (and 4 M3) against entire Spetsnaz strike force. And the Russian are very angry this time. Did I mention you that there are some S47 Berkut and Gripen in enemy’s strike force? Yes, today you’re dogfighting these powerful machines. So… good luck out there. Hope you survive the battle.
- You guys remember the Salustaris ship you fought somewhere in the first episode right? Imagine another ship in that class, with more modern weaponry and much, much more turret and armor. The Kirov class destroyer have ability to track and intercept multiple incoming missiles and target at once. Have fun taking it out with mass produced frame, not prototype one.
- We’ve implement M5 Viper A.I., in 9th mission, you’ll see them as your 3 wingmen. There’ll really stick with you and provide you, their squadron leader, cover. M5 Viper’s A.I. is by far, the most advance and sophisticate Battle Frame A.I. we’ve ever design.
- Yes, like the S47 and Gripen, expect to fight them as enemy in next missions.
- New ‘Battle Camera’ system that will zoom in to locked target and display the image in small window near the target’s position on your screen. With this system, you’ll be able to see your distance target. No more dogfighting fast moving green dots on the screen. Now you actually see your opponent every movement and destruction. You’re going to love this. :D
- We adjust Rise Mirai level’s level design a little bit to make it’s less likely for player to get stuck in Mirai’s starting up hangar. And we improve that scene’s lighting a little bit.
- This might be minor things for some of you guys, but all missions now have subtitle. So it shall be easier to understand what’s going on.
- Hope you guys enjoy this update! And… well, hope you guys survive the ‘Thermopylae’ mission.
