🚀Massive Ship Build & Ship Upgrade Token Time Reductions 🚀 Updated Wormhole Drive Type-1 for Deep Space 🚀 Additional Spawners for Event Targets 🚀 Altairian Orator Dreadnought 🚀 Umbra Aerico 🚀 READ MORE BELOW!





Rebels,

In this release comes a massive Hull build time reduction. Not only that- Upgrade Token Crafting Time and Recipe Research Time too. Check out those changes HERE. To help address concerns of target availability in Thursday’s monthly events, additional Target Spawners will be added. A new Wormhole Drive is planned for further down the road, so the Wormhole Drive Type-1 is being updated with a 30s local jump cooldown, 60s sector jump cooldown, and 2 sector jumps to help with interim travel times to Deep Space.

Please note only Builds, Upgrade Token Crafting, and Recipe Research started after the update are affected - to help those who started these before the downtime, a resource top-up will be sent to every account at 3PM PDT Thursday.

The Wormhole Drive Type-1’s updated stats will be active after the downtime, but its stat block will NOT change until the game update has been installed on your device. For those who scrapped the Wormhole Drive Type-1, these will be credited back to your account in the form of a Customer Service Gift, which will appear at the top-left of the screen.

In continued depreciation of the Unity Webplayer, Facebook and Web versions of VEGA Conflict will no longer be supported after this release. For additional information, please check out this post.

The Altairian Orator Dreadnought and Umbra Aerico put you in control of their Spawned Ships - find the best strategy of when to attack or defend. These toggles appear while in combat, controlling all Spawned Ships in combat at once with ease:
