Greetings fellow sky captains and crew! An update is coming Monday morning (4.10) US EDT, and the servers will be offline briefly for maintenance. And here's what you'll see from the update.

Single Ship Infiltration:

Tomorrow will bring forth Single Ship Infiltration! What is that experience like? Think Meta Gear X airships. There will be moments to kill, but also moments to be stealthy, hide, and sneak towards victory. It will add another dynamic to single ship play. Look for this coming online late morning US EDT.

Fixes, and more fixes! Extinguishers and spanners at the ready.

In this update, we're fixing quite a few important issues that you've reported. To name a few - engineers should no longer be underpaid, PvP war coins should now contribute, AI now properly trained to shoot Missiles, Infiltration now has more warnings when VIP is under attack, etc. First week's feedback have been amazing, so keep them coming!!

Entire List of Fixes:

What's Coming Next Week:

In addition to continue to test PvE ship and weapon to bring to PvP, we'll also be testing the Night Maps as well as Yeshan and Arashi contents. Another very important thing we'll be doing is to look at world map balance, to see what other interesting mechanics we can introduce, how to give faction leadership more ways to direct combat, to streamline the UI, and to give individual players more sense of ownership. Another big ticket item is to improve on the discovery and display of new unlockable contents, so people would always know what's available. We'll also look at the pace of unlock for weapons and ships for other factions, making them easier. Thanks everyone for a great first week! Howard, AKA Bubbles
