[h3]New Pilot -[/h3]

This week's featured new pilot is Deceiver - Nami.
Nami was once an electronic scam criminal, specializing in targeting fugitives for fraud. All of her Units were acquired through deception.

Inherent Talent - Hello there!
After the elite battle, you can scam the criminals by contacting them.

Now you can obtain some enemy Units through Nami!
Of course, only part of the enemy Units will be provided in the game. (Some enemy Units are just... not very compatible in the current Units' pool!)

*Deceiver - Nami will be unlocked at Level 41.

7. Fixed the problem of the Single Star not acquiring Double Strength, when the only Attack Unit other than Single Star loaded with Energy has been destructed.
   

Another thing is that we've decided to reduce the update frequency for new pilots to once every two weeks. Truth be told we kinda overestimated our development efficiency... But this will allow us to focus more on developing other systems, especially the third spaceship. So stay tuned!
