Hi All,
Okay. Last update, we talked about adding more weapons to the Sim.
Anyway, you're prayers have been answered. New upgraded missile, radar and gun models will come along in the next update, which should be released just before this year's Port Phobos Invitational. Anyway, because some of these weapons are advanced enough
They'll need to be unlocked, through careful and methodical play for hours on end, ensuring a suitable sense of accomplishment is gained when you launch of you're first Mad Dog.
Or, you know if you don't want to spend a few dozen hours drinding out a full load for your ship of choice, there's the time-honoured method of...
LOOT CRATES[!/i]
For the month of January, the advanced weaponry will only be available through the specialised Ace Packs. Each one containing a randomised loadout which can be added to your own personal arsenal. Some packs may contain missiles. Some might contain liveries. One or two may even contain unusual or uncommon ships that we've been working on, which may never be released to the public.
A full list of probabilities is linked [i]here.
Top of the range, limited to no more than 0.01% of packs in total, is the RF-155-E 'Riding Hi Streamer' protoitype. Which is based on our own engineering test model, while adding electronic combat and advanced sensor capabilities. We've been using it internally to test a full Electronic Warfare module to be added later. For the time being, you'll be among the few people capable of full electronic warfare action - adding a new dimension to our virtual theatre of war.
Oh and before anyone thinks your benevolant dictatress for Life has gone all Electronic Arts, All Proceeds from sales of Ace Packs will go towards the Nikaido Foundation. After February, everything except the unique spacecraft will go to general release, available to all.
Cheers

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
