Ship/Game Graphics
We have been a touch quiet for a while regarding new ship images and graphics. There have been a few reasons for this (aside the sheer daunting task that it represents) however I am pleased that we are now at a stage to share a bit of a teaser with you. @⚜ Karalyn (Valkyrie) ⚜ Has very, very kindly agreed to consider and design updated ship assets for the game, this will help both with the ships but also our Inventory/construction expansions planned this year. We’ve looking to adopt an isometric (mock 3D) style to help add to the game whilst maintaining a nod to the old and provide a lot more perspective to the ships. I’m sure you will all agree with us what @⚜ Karalyn (Valkyrie) ⚜ has done as an AMAZING job on this Invincible Mk2 Mockup (taken from the flat image of the game). It’s been a pleasure for us to see this progress (through many steps which I’m sure Kara may share)… Let us and @⚜ Karalyn (Valkyrie) ⚜ know what you think!

@everyone The arena has been added, it will operate every 30 minuets, and will require a minimum of two participants. Please note that you’ll need to keep an eye on tactical (and perhaps refresh) when the arena starts for the moment. The victor will be announced and OOC will post messages to keep you updated. A reward is given as well! Some wallet options have also been added to the character page – Transfer to player – Transfer to faction – Place bounty on Bounties are now supported and shown on the faction page, if you kill a ship containing any crew member with a bounty you will be rewarded that bounty (happy hunting)(edited)1[02:52]– Oh, also in the Arena and DP you can now target/shoot your own factions!(edited)
