Captains!

The content kitchen is cooking for Update 14.10! It's time for a preview of what November has in store for us.

Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most notable new content coming in 14.10:
  • Temporal Rift: This new temporary battle type brings future missile armament tech to the past for two consecutive Operations. Advance through or defend multiple defense lines on massive maps where you have the ability to choose your respawn point after going down.



  • "Assisted in destruction" Ribbon: Tired of having your contribution toward destroying an enemy ship go unnoticed just because someone else dealt the final blow? That's a thing of the past! Starting in 14.10, you'll get a brand-new ribbon for your efforts!
  • Unique Commonwealth Commander: Australian John Augustine Collins will be the Commonwealth nation's first unique Commander. He has enhanced Aircraft Armor and Adrenaline Rush skills, plus two unique talents that repair your ship at low HP, and increased ship speed and consumable action time the more damage you deal.
