«Мир кораблей» встречает Лунный Новый год

Игра «Мир кораблей» про морские сражения получила обновление 12.0, посвященное Лунному Новому году.

Airship Escort in Update 12.0

The battle type that tasks you with escorting airships returns to the game with some improvements and a new name.

Airships historically carried intelligence agents bearing important messages and diplomats traveling to conduct secret negotiations in neutral territories.

Your objectives are to delay the hostile airship while also making sure that your allied airship is the first to reach the destination point.

Rules[/h2]

[h3]Restrictions[/h3]
The battle type involves Tier VIII–X ships of all types fighting in teams of 12.

[h3]The Task[/h3]
Lead your allied airship to its destination before the opposing team does or destroy all hostile ships.

Ships can affect the speed of the allied or opposing airships by staying within an interactive zone near each one:

Airships move at a standard speed if there are no players within its interactive zone.
Airships accelerate if only allied ships are within the borders of their interactive zones.
Airships slow down if at least one opposing ship is within the borders of their interactive zones.

If your team simultaneously speeds up the allied airship and slows down the opposing airship, the allied airship now receives additional acceleration. This change will help prevent situations that previously occurred where battles continued for too long when one of the teams was able to gain a serious lead over the opposing team. At the same time, the base airship speed has been reduced to prevent battles between equal teams from ending too quickly.

[expand]

[/expand]
While staying within the interactive zone of any airship, players earn acceleration and slowdown points, plus some extra Credits and XP per battle.

The interface of the battle type has been revamped:

New hints that pop up in battle have been added, and the old ones have been updated.
The airship icons and movement progress bar have been changed.
The display of airship routes on the Minimap has been updated.
We've added new quick commands that can be activated by clicking the icon on the airship movement bar.
