NIMRODS News

[h3]Gear up NIMRODS! [/h3][p]We're back with another update!

In this update, we're introducing a highly requested feature - the Gunporium. This station is automatically unlocked and available on your Home Ship, right next to the Deploy Station.

Here, you'll be able to find all the information about your Augments and Chassis. This is our first iteration of the Gunporium. Since it's been a such a highly requested feature, we wanted to release its core functionality first so you wouldn't have to wait any longer.

In future updates, we'll continue expanding the Gunporium. If you have any suggestions or features you'd like to see, be sure to let us know![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Major Features[/h3]

[h3]Gear up NIMRODS! [/h3][p]We've got another update for you!

There's a massive change to the economy to try to alleviate some of the grind-related pain points. In particular, we are removing Amethyst Baubles and Wyrdwood. For now, at least. They may come back, in a much improved form. In addition, we're streamlining what currencies are used for what purposes; now, every resource has one system that its clearly tied to, instead of each system using a haphazard combination of all the currencies. Finally, we're removing the cost of unlocking stations and rooms. Now each station and room will be gated behind a particular miniboss.

As part of this economy update, we've moved around a lot of old content that used to be gated behind missions. Now all genes and augments are found in chests instead of requiring that you complete a task to unlock them. This has led to, shall we say, an overabundance of chests on the map. This problem will resolve itself as we release more map updates and slide the chests from their current placements to fill in the new areas.

Also, with a few exceptions, chassis will be found sold by the arms dealer instead of found in chests.

Finally, drone options are unlocked with quests... for now. This isn't intended to be their final resting place!
But that's all technical, and doesn't mean much for players who have already unlocked all the content. So what new content do we have for you?

A flashy new barrel... and a ton of balance changes. The goal for these balance changes were to bring some overperforming guns into line and buff all the augments that are still obviously underperforming after last balance pass.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Major Features[/h2]
