New Bastion capture mechanics was introduced.
- The capture day is Saturday. The capture time is 1 hour from 3 pm to 4 pm UTC (for Bastions, which are under the control of the Guardians).
- For the Bastions which are already captured, the time of the next capture is chosen by their owners (Bastion owners are the characters which were the Guild masters at the time of the capture).
- The time of capturing the Bastion can be changed by the owner of the Bastion being the Head of the guild or the Advisor during the period from Sunday 0:00 to Monday 11:59 pm (UTC).
- The number of the attacking guild should be at least 5 characters at the time of capture.
- The Bastion will be captured if the attacking guild gets 4000 points.
- The ships of the attacking guild which flew into the capture zone are not attackers to the Bastion owner until they do damage.
- The height of the capture zone is 2 miles (from the Bastion), the radius of capture is 4 miles (from the Bastion).
- The guild ships must be within 4 miles from a Bastion to capture it.
- If the attackers have N ships more than the defenders, they get N points of capture per second.
- If the number of defending ships is equal or bigger than the number of any of the attacking guilds ships, the attackers do not get points of capture. The points of capture are reset if there are no attackers in the zone.
- The numbers of attacking ships of different guilds are not summed up.
- The ships are counted only if they are under the direct control of the players (the ships under the remote control of the navigator are not counted).
- If there are several attacking guilds, the speed of getting the points of capture counts out of the difference in number of the current candidate guild and the next one.
- Anti-aircraft guns of bases work as usual during capturing a bastion.
- If the Bastion is captured, the master of the guild which captured it becomes its owner.
- After 1 hour time, during which the Bastion is available for capture, skills books appear in the warehouse of the Flight Center no matter whether the owner of the Bastion changed or not.
- In the case of capture, all the property stored in the Bastion becomes the property of the master of the guild which seized it.
