Latest News for NEBULOUS: Fleet Command
The latest NEBULOUS: Fleet Command Carriers update brings a wealth of new content, gameplay mechanics, and much more. Keep sharing your thoughts and feedback. It helps shape the game's development!
Here are some highlights:
Fighters, Bombers, and Utility Craft
Each faction now has three new spaceframes: fighters, bombers, and scouts, with an additional shared utility skiff design for specialized operations.
- Alliance Craft: Built for speed and stealth, they excel in precision strikes and covert maneuvers.
- Protectorate Craft: Versatile and adaptive, these ships feature modular loadouts that can be reconfigured mid-battle to meet changing demands.
Every craft boasts unique weapons, capabilities, and maneuvering styles. The new fleet editor module allows players to customize each ship’s configuration for a tactical edge in different situations.
Customizable Loadouts
For the first time, spacecraft can change their mission profiles mid-battle. Using the fleet editor’s loadout matrix, players can preconfigure weapons and modules for each craft and select specific setups during combat. This adaptability opens new tactical possibilities, making you react to evolving scenarios precisely.
Carrier Hulls & Modules
- Alliance Levy-class and Protectorate Journeyman-class bring specialized carrier capabilities to their factions.
- Moorline Container Liner functions as a fleet carrier with expansive hangars.
Additionally, new mounted hangars for ships with C4 and C5 mounts allow larger vessels to carry a few spacecraft of their own, extending deployment options for strategic dominance.
Bombs, Missiles, and Submunitions
This update expands the arsenal with:
- Unguided bombs, offering devastating precision in combat.
- Two new anti-spacecraft modular missile systems (SDM-1 and SDM-2) designed for rapid response defense.
- A new Submunition Dispenser warhead, enabling players to build sophisticated custom weapons for more nuanced attacks.
AI Overhaul
The AI opponent has been completely rewritten, delivering advanced tactics like:
- Bow tanking, cruise missile strikes, and map-driven maneuvering.
- Scenario-specific strategies for dynamic, challenging battles.
The AI is now fully moddable. While some areas, like jammer use, are still in development.
New Tutorials
With the introduction of carrier mechanics, the update includes:
- Two new tutorials to guide players through carrier operations.
- A new mission, Final Battle Problem, as part of the tutorial series. This scenario walks players through a full skirmish battle using the updated AI, preparing them for the challenges ahead.
