[p]Greetings Sky Captains and Crews![/p][p]In response to community feedback, we've had a look at multiple ships, weapons, and ammos. These changes are live, so hop in and let us know what you think![/p][p][/p][p]Crusader[/p][p]The Crusader feels a little weak right now. We're increasing it's armor to give it a little bit more survivability.[/p]

• [p]Armor: 530 -> 600[/p]

[p][/p][p]Shrike[/p]

• [p]Top speed: 38.01 -> 40[/p]
• [p]Turning speed: 13.01 -> 15[/p]

[p][/p][p]Immortal Gaze Heavy Accelerator Mk. S[/p][p]The response to the Immortal Gaze has been positive! However, the weapon takes way too long to shoot. We've reduced the Reload Time to speed it up, and added a bit of an AOE visual to the shot to make it more visible.[/p]

• [p]Reload time: 10s -> 5s[/p]
• [p]AOE radius: 1m -> 30m (purely visual)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Immortal Gaze Heavy Accelerator[/p]

• [p]Fire rate: 2 -> 10 (to fix desync bug)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Immortal Gaze Heavy Accelerator Mk. II[/p]

• [p]Fire rate: 0.5 -> 10 (to fix desync bug)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Lumberjack Heavy Mortar[/p][p]Lumberjack has been dominating lately. This change makes it more difficult to use at close range.[/p]

• [p]Arming distance: 200m -> 250m[/p]

[p][/p][p]Nemesis Heavy Carronade[/p]

• [p]Secondary: 100 impact -> 110 impact[/p]

[p][/p][p]Roaring Tiger Heavy Detonator Mk. S[/p][p]The Detonator is very good at starting fires.. we've toned that down a bit. If you want to start fires with it, you'll want to use Incendiary Ammo now.[/p]

• [p]Base fire chance: 0%/4% -> 0%/0%[/p]
• [p]Damage: 8/34 -> 10/42[/p]
• [p]Projectiles: 5 -> 4[/p]
• [p]Projectile speed: 150 -> 135[/p]
• [p]Increased projectile lifetime (range stays at 300m)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Echidna Light Flak Cannon[/p]

• [p]Primary: 25 -> 40[/p]
• [p]Secondary: 55 -> 40[/p]
• [p]Burst Rounds[/p]
• [p]Clip size: -12.5% -> 0[/p]
• [p]Arming time: -25% -> 0[/p]

[p][/p][p]Burst Rounds [/p][p]Burst rounds are very strong right now. This removes the ammo's ability to reduce arming range so that it isn't so good in so many situations.[/p]

• [p]Clip size: -12.5% -> 0 Arming time: -25% -> 0[/p]

[p]I know it's been awhile, but we're bringing you a Guns of Icarus update! The servers will be down for about 3 hours in order to facilitate this update.[/p][p]We managed to find some new decorations in the warehouse, and now we’re bringing them to you! There was also this gun sitting in a crate.. Wonder what it does? I’m sure you’ll put it to good use. We’ve also had an engineer tweak your Typhon Mk1 - It should shake a little less now. [/p][p] [/p][h2]New Weapon in PvP: Immortal Gaze Heavy Accelerator Mk. S[/h2][p]The Immortal Gaze Heavy Accelerator excels at breaking enemy armor at extreme range. It has built-in safeties to prevent overcharging.[/p]

• [p]Effective vs: Armor[/p]
• [p]Piercing: 140[/p]
• [p]Reload Time: 10[/p]
• [p]Magazine Size: 3[/p]
• [p]Projectile Speed: 800 m/s[/p]
• [p]Range: 2400m[/p]
• [p]Horizontal Arcs: 20 degrees[/p]
• [p]Vertical Arcs: 10 degrees[/p]

[p][/p][h2]New Decals:[/h2][p]We’re going to the Stars next, and to celebrate that, we are giving you some brand-new Stars of Icarus-themed decals: Wings, Gear, and Orbit! Log in to receive them.

[/p][h2]New Dyes and Badges:[/h2][p]I found two new dyes in the warehouse - put them on your ship, your shirt, or your hat!
Daedalus Sky and Daedalus Red Velvet Cupcakes - available in the market [/p][p] [/p][p]And for those who competed in SCS 400 and 500, we found your badges. This cargo was lost in the desert for years, until it turned up during the latest war! [/p][p][/p][h2]Achievements Unlocked:[/h2][p]It’s hard to find a crew these days, which can make some achievements tough to get. We’ve looked these over and identified some of the hardest ones, and we are granting a general amnesty and releasing all the achievements below for everyone. We salute all of you who got these achievements before today. You are true privateers of the wastes, and you can always take pride and satisfaction that you earned these before today.

Without further ado, allow us to present… Stars of Icarus.

Revealed at the PC Gaming Show, Stars of Icarus is a game we’ve been working on for some time now. We couldn’t be more proud and excited to present this spiritual follow-up to the Guns series to the world.

Assemble your crew and take to the stars in, where team-based PvP dogfights are your key to conquering the cosmos. Hop into hand-crafted maps and engage in nail-biting team battles of 5 versus 5 players in three different game modes: Team Deathmatch, Bounty, and Capture the Flag. Dodge asteroids, navigate junkyards, complex space stations and more as you seek your objective.

We can’t wait to jump online and dive into the Stars together in 2026. On that note, be sure to join our Discord, which has got a new coat of paint and where we’ve also made a handy FAQ about the game. We will be hosting a few play sessions in Guns with the team there and it’s the perfect place to meet new folks to join your crew.

See you in the Stars,

- The Team at Muse Games

On the heels of last week’s post, we’ve got some real news for you. We’ll be having a watch party on our Discord server on June 8th at 3pm EDT to watch the PC Gaming Showcase, and we’d love for you to join us. For us, it’s been a long road getting to this moment. We’ve been waiting quite some time to show you what's in our future.

You’ll also be seeing some updates and cleanup to our Discord in the coming week in anticipation of the announcement. We’ll be archiving some of our lesser used channels and preparing some future additions in the background.

Hope to see you then. If not, don’t worry. You can catch all the announcements here after the showcase as well.

Thanks everyone, and see you up there!
