[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

We hope you had some excellent match-ups during last month’s Tournament Finals!

The Tournament Prize for August was a Limited Edition Skin for the Teleport Room, Osiris Gate! An alternate version, Teleportal Room is now available in the Dove Store.




Next week will see the release of our latest Major Update, including Level 13 Ship Hulls, new Room Types, new Module Types, balance changes, and more!

Patch Notes will be available on release,. In the meantime, we’d like to provide a preview of the upcoming new Room Types for your consideration.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Recall Beacon Module[/h3]


The Recall Beacon Module allows friendly Crew to teleport to its position. This Module can only be used by Crew that are not inside the room the Module is placed in, or inside Connecting Rooms (left and right).

[h3]Teleport Interdictor Gate[/h3]


The Teleport Interdictor Gate is a 1×2, 2HP Defense Room that captures 1 incoming boarder when Reloaded. 1 Interdictor Gate can be placed on your Ship.

[h3]Teleport Repulsor[/h3]


The Teleport Repulsor is a 2×2, 3HP Defense Room that prevents/repels 1 incoming boarder Teleport charge when Reloaded. The enemy Crew remains on their ship waiting for another Teleport charge.

[h3]Shield Capacitor[/h3]


The Shield Capacitor is a 2×2, 2HP Shield Room that only increases the Ships Max Shield value. It does not consume power.

[h3]Auxiliary Booster[/h3]


The Auxiliary Booster is a 2×3, 3HP Support Room that can increase the Reload Speed of all Adjacent Rooms (above, below, left, and right). The Reload Speed bonus is increased by Crew inside the Room.

[h3]Shield Overcharger[/h3]


The Shield Overcharger is a 3×3, 5HP Shield Room that has the capability of restoring shields past the current maximum by a limited amount. Each charge has a 3-second cooldown.

[h3]Torpedo Launcher[/h3]


The Torpedo Launcher is a 3×3, 5HP Missile Room that launches larger (but slower) Missiles that inflict AOE attacks on hit.

• Boomer – Deals System, AP, Hull, and Crew Damage to a small area.
  
• Inferno – Applies Fire Damage over a small area.
  
• Blizzard – Applies Freeze to Crew within a small area.
  
• Thunderclap – Applies EMP to Rooms within a small area.

While the Moon Festival is still in full swing, we’d like to add a quick reminder that the Oktoberfest in Orbit Event will begin on the 20th of September. Prost!
