Hi M8s,
We're making huge changes to capitals with the Citadels expansion. Most of these changes are on Sisi now and we'd love you to get on there and help us with testing!
Notes:
- All combat capitals have reduced base Shields/Armor/Hull. There are now capital armor plates and capital shield extenders that you should use to increase the buffer of your capital ship.
- Carriers can no longer fit a Triage module. Carriers with a triage module fitted during the deployment of the Citadels expansion will be converted into Force Auxiliaries.
- Carriers no longer have a drone bay, instead they have a fighter bay and use the new fighter mechanics.
- There is a new module called a Networked Sensor Array. This increases the Sensor Strength, Targeting Range, and Scan Resolution at the expense of disabling the use of any offensive EWar (Warp Scramblers/Disruptors, Target Painters, ECM, Stasis effects, Sensor Dampeners, etc).
- Drone Control Units have been converted to Fighter Support Units. These now give a general buff to fighter damage and survivability.
- All other drone modules (excluding Drone Link Augmentors) also provide bonuses to Fighter squadrons (check show info on those modules for details)
- Advanced Drone Interfacing has been renamed to Fighter Hangar Management and now provides a bonus to the size of your fighter hanger.
- Generic drone skills (Drone Durability, Drone Navigation, etc) also provide bonuses to fighters (check show info on those skills for details).
- The Fighter Bomber skill has been converted to 'Heavy Fighters', and now gives a 5% damage bonus to heavy fighters per level.
- A new skill is being introduced called 'Light Fighters', this provides a 5% velocity bonus per level and is required for the operation of light fighters.
- A new skill is being introduced called 'Support Fighters', this provides a 5% hitpoint bonus per level and is required for the operation of support fighters.
- The fighters skill now provides a 5% damage bonus per level and is required for the operation of all fighters.
- Burst Projectors, more information will be coming in another thread soon!
All of these changes are on Sisi, and we'd appreciate you jumping on and helping to test them!
