APRIL’S FOOL -- WELCOME TO INVASION!




[h2]APRIL’S FOOL -- WELCOME TO INVASION![/h2]

As many of you figured out, OUR “SIMPLIFIED” DREADNOUGHT WAS AN APRIL’S FOOLS JOKE.

We are not eliminating the colors or the regular spaceships from our game.

The game changes are for a new event this weekend: INVASION!

As you may imagine, we’re big fans of sci-fi movies and vintage sci-fi movies have a special place in our hearts.

INVASION! pays homage to the B-list movies of the 1950s. Films like “The Day The Earth Stood Still” and “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” created a mythology of deadly aliens flying sleek ships, ready to kill us all, and heroic humans battling them and prevailing at the end. What’s not to like?

[h3]ABOUT THE EVENT:[/h3]

  • GRAY SANDS MAP: We transformed the Red Sands maps into “Gray Sands” and added a menacing alien station.


  • FREE FLYING SAUCER HERO SHIP: A “Flying Saucer” Tactical Cruiser is available in the market for free. After the event is over, the Saucer will become the Marauder Hero Ship (more info below).


  • FREE DECAL: You can also get an INVASION! Commemorative Decal at no cost.


  • YOU MAY WIN 1000 GPs - Post your screencaps or videos on social media, tag us, and you may win 1000 GPs. We’ll be looking for the images that best capture the crazy weekend ahead (Flying Saucer battles, anyone?)


INVASION! will be active until Monday, April 5. On Tuesday we’ll go back to our regular Dreadnought game.

We hope you enjoy our retro space wars. See you in battle, Captains!

[h3]THE MARAUDER HERO SHIP[/h3]

The Marauder Hero ship is a Tier 2 Tactical Cruiser built by Captain Baron Roth IV.

Convinced an extra stellar alien force is present and active, Captain Roth patrols the Solar System in his heavily outfitted support vessel named the Marauder.

The Marauder is based on a stripped-down Jupiter Arms Tac Cruiser. While heavily armed, it is unclear whether the Marauder’s weapons are fully functional or are decoys built by Captain simply for intimidation. Regardless, he has pledged himself as a noble defender against any hostile invaders.

The Marauder, disguised as a Flying Saucer, will be available for free during the INVASION! Event. After April the 6th, the Marauder will be available at the Sinley Bay Market for 500GP.
