Space Dota? playing with the devs big patch today:
October Update - New Mode: Frontline, Two New Ships, Crew Update and more
New Mode: Frontline
Coming to Fractured Space as a part of this update is Frontline, a brand new game mode which will drastically change the way the game is played.
On joining a server for a Frontline game, each player will be assigned a random ship selected from the entire range, regardless of whether or not they own it. This random selection will be subject to a couple of restrictions - the Paragon will not be available, and both teams will consist of a single heavy, a light craft and three medium-class ships.
The Map has changed dramatically for the engagements in Frontline. The entire battle takes place in a single location comprising of a home base for each team and three smaller mining stations with home bases allowing you to apply your upgrades which boost all ship stats.
To win the round, teams are still required to capture the enemy base. However, with the Frontline mode comes another route to victory. After the game’s 12 minute timer elapses, the game enters Sudden Death, after which there will be no respawns, and no repairs from home bases. Destroying the enemy team while in Sudden Death will also end the game.
New Ships
Crew Update
Within this update you will find several big changes to how your Crew influences the game and playstyles. All 21 of the Crew members have had their values adjusted on an average of 500% and you can now assign a specific Crew to specific ships, so if you need to make a quick swap before a match starts you are now safe in knowing you are equipped with your preferred Crew outfit for that particular ship. Totalled Crew stats are now displayed in your hangar for a quick overview before you head into battle.
Legendary Skins Update
In this month’s update we’ve made efforts to revisit our current selection of Legendary skins to improve and differentiate their appearance versus standard skins. If you own a Legendary skin you will now notice these new changes:
New Jump VFX and Audio
New Primary Weapon VFX
Reworked VFX on selected abilities (e.g. Hunter’s Blink, Enforcer’s Taser Beam, Brawler’s Concuss)
