Carrier Command 2 News

Dear Players,

The new major update is out now!

The Defence and Resupply Update is the new major update, featuring the ability to defend and fortify captured islands, the new land chassis to resupply deployed vehicles in the field, and new consumable fighting droids to flood the battlefield with fire power.



Fortifications

From the vehicle control map, you can select your captured command centers and build static defences. There are 3 static defence turret loadouts, and it's the players decision where to place their fortifications. Static defences take time to manufacture and build so it is important to plan and start early and invest in securing your islands.



The Mule

The Mule is a new land vehicle chassis, with 6 attachment slots of the new utility type. Attachment options include fuel and ammo resupply modules, as well as combat droids. This new vehicle and attachment set allows resupply and replenishment in the field. This has been a popular request, with limited ammo being a major logistics consideration when deploying a landing group.



The Combat Droid

The new combat droid is a deployable fighting unit, similar to virus bots, except equipped with dual chain guns. These droids are consumable and last only as long as their fuel and ammo lasts, but with the ability to carry up to 6 on a single Mule, then deployment can dramatically increase firepower for a limited time.



Once deployed, the new droids work a lot like the other land vehicles, and can be commanded from the map and remote controlled with movement and weapons control.

Please see the notes below for full details of the changes. We also have minor updates in the works and will have more updates out to you as soon as they are ready.

We look forward to your feedback on this new update, and let us know what you want to see next too!

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Players,

Major Update 4 will be released on 29th September 2022!

This next major update is the island defense and resupply update. This is a gameplay focused expansion in response to player feedback and common requests, to extend your strategical capabilities.

The Mule

The mule is a new land vehicle chassis, designed specifically for a support role! This chassis has 6 attachment points for the new support modules. These modules include fuel resupply and various types of ammo resupply for replenishment in the field. Your other land vehicles can refuel and resupply when nearby these modules, allowing for extended operation time once ashore.



Fighting Droids

The new fighting droids are mounted to mules via the fighting droid support module - and can be deployed in a similar way to virus bots. These new droids are consumable, with limited power and lifetime, and cannot be recovered from the battlefield. However, they are also ferocious, with high damage output and up to 6 can be mounted to a mule at a time. They can also be remote controlled like any other vehicle.

Base Fortifications

In the next major update, you will be able to build defenses and turrets and fortify your captured islands. This is a critical capability, particularly for PvP games, where capturing neutral islands has been much more difficult than capturing player controlled islands.

This major update will be launching on Thursday 29th September so please do join us for the launch then!

We also have minor updates including fixes and improvements in the works and due for release soon.

Much love

Dear Players,

In this minor update, we have continued to look at fixes and improvements. Please see below for the full list of changes in this update.

Changes are typically minor, as we have been keeping a close eye on issues and have been doing extensive internal testing throughout development. We are continuing to work through any remaining quality issues as we want the player experience to be tight and as smooth as possible.

Thanks to all the players who have reported these issues! We really appreciate your help and feedback.

You can expect more minor updates in the coming weeks and months, as well as details on our next major update which we are working on at the moment. The next major update will be gameplay focused with new gameplay features.
