The second implementation of the walker legs is now available and equipable on your ship. Walker legs are the first ground-based movement part added to the game. While their relevance on the archipelago will be nonexistent they should at least be a fun addition to watercraft. The walker legs can propel your ship forward and backward, turn the ship, crouch and stand, and even strafe if their assigned weapon group is activated. Just like their miniature counterparts they can stick to surfaces of any steepness. Unlike the small walkers these legs are not able to stand on other ships or jump. Walker legs are unlock by researching "Pressure Actuation".
Two new walker dragoon variants are also available including a vertically mounted guided rocket walker and a requested cargo carrying walker. The rocket walker is unlock by researching "Pressure Actuation" and completing the quest "A Mysterious Weapon". The carrier walker is unlocked by researching "Pressure Actuation".
Future development of Airmen will begin replacing the existing Archipelago with an entirely new map. The size of this project will likely break the weekly update schedule. Each week, in place of the regular content update, the new map will be updated and playable on an independent server. Once the new map comes close to parity with the old one, the old map will be retired. The goal of the new map is to expand Airmen's potential content by creating an environment that can support a wide variety of vehicles beyond airships and boats.
