[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

An important announcement for today’s patch: The new CRISPR System has been changed to incorporate valued feedback from players.

The total Training Point increase from CRISPR has been reduced from 30 to 10 (Bronze 6, Silver 4, Gold 0). The Gold tier will now instead apply a cosmetic effect only – to be added in a future patch.

We are dedicated to our continued policy of prioritizing player feedback and would like to thank everyone for voicing their feedback on this feature.
