Dormant Realm
The Dormant Realm is home to the Sleepers. CONCORD has found out that the universal broadcast in New Eden shares the same origin with the Dormant Realm.
After about ten thousand years of transformation by the Sleepers, the place has become more similar to their virtual reality. Intruders, affected by the broadcast signals, may be turned into Sleepers.
Capsuleers can form a team with up to 4 members to enter the Dormant Realm from any station. Choose the suitable difficulty level, follow the mission guides, and do not get lost.
The operation may fail due to many conditions. Your ships that are destroyed during the operation will be real loss. Complete the operation for a chance to obtain rare Implants, General Units, and upgrade materials. The reward depends on the difficulty level and the time taken to complete the operation.
2 of the 4 Dormant Realm operations are now available. Please check the in-game rules for more details.
Implants
The new Implant system is a significant innovation in combat strategies.
12 new Implants will be introduced in the first update, changing the existing weapon systems of ships drastically and adding new combat strategies to old weapons.
They can change the firing rate of weapons and type of damage dealt by weapons and even grant ships unprecedented special abilities.
New Implants
Focused Crystal - Strengthens the stimulation crystal of the laser, continuously enhancing its power while attacking.
Pulse Crystal - Optimizes the operating mode of the laser crystal so that it can generate more firepower by using additional electricity during its operation.
Barrage Repression - Changes the cannon's loading mechanism to obtain a higher firing rate, but the additional recoil will reduce the cannon's precision.
Sniping Technology - Grants cannons the ability to perform precise calibration on their target, greatly increasing the accuracy and power of the first strike.
High Power Coil - Residual energy from Railgun attacks will be stored in the additional coils and converted into additional firepower when necessary.
Thermal Circulation - Improves the power of the Railgun coil to increase the Railgun's damage, but there is a risk of overheating.
Support Projection - Uses the special Electronic Warfare warheads to disrupt enemy actions or disable enemy modules.
Warhead Charge - Changes the loading mechanism of missile warheads to adjust the damage type of the missiles flexibly.
Bombard Tactics - Adds a special attack module to the drone to significantly increase its firepower, but the drone has to return to the drone bay for loading.
Automatic Defense - Adds a special Electronic Warfare module to the drone so that it can destroy enemy targeting systems.
Remote Shield- Strengthens the shield's potential energy effect to quickly replenish the lost shield to the target from a distance.
Remote Armor - Provides continuous Energy Armor Layering to the target, increasing the target's Armor Resistance continuously from a distance.
New Implant Materials
Neural Compiler - Used to level up and enhance the strength of Implants.
Quantum Neuron - The essential material to make Implants and Neural Compilers.
Sleeper Structure - The essential material to reverse Implant Blueprint.
Implant Core - The essential material to reverse Implant Blueprint.
Neuroactive Supplements - Restores the lost neural activity for Implants.
Upgraded Main Interface
A comprehensive design optimization and effect upgrade has been done for the main interface to provide a better gaming experience for Capsuleers.
The Neocoms has been improved by adding the display of the model and Nanocore quality of the current ship. The buttons related to Implant operations have also been added.
Character avatar and position display, shortcuts, MINI chat interface, locked target display, and overview panel will offer Capsuleers better visual effects and experience.
Upgraded Fleet Interface
Battlefield data statistics have been added to provide the number of friend/foe ships within a certain range in real-time. It can help Capsuleers cope with the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. After creating a fleet, you can swipe the upper left corner of the screen to switch to this feature.
The icons of the fleet members you're following are now displayed in the upper right corner of the screen to help you interact with them. Drag the icons to unfollow them.
The interfaces of sending and receiving commands are now integrated into the brand new fleet panel to further simplify operations.
