Battle Pirates Release Notes - 2/12/14

This week’s release will see data added in for the Forsaken Arena Tournament which starts this Friday (12/5/14), as well as some bugfixes and tuning.

Forsaken Arena Tournament:

Starting today, you will be able to queue for the Forsaken Arena to qualify for the upcoming Forsaken Arena Tournament that starts on 12/5/14. If you do not yet have a combat rating by playing 10 placement matches, complete your placement matches before Friday. Once placement matches are complete, qualify for the tournament by playing at least one additional qualifying round before Friday. During this qualifier you will gain and lose Combat Rating to determine your starting point on the Tournament Leaderboards when it officially starts on 12/5. At that time, normal Forsaken Arena Matches will be temporarily disabled, participants will be grouped into brackets of 100 based on your Combat Rating, and Arena matches you participate in will increase your standings on the Tournament Leader board.

All participants will receive a Uranium payout for participating, with Rogue Crew rolls available to top participants. There will be two prize brackets that player will be placed into. Top rated Captains will be placed into a special prize bracket with more lucrative rewards. If you are in this group and you fight your way to the top spots of your 100 person bracket, you will earn a unique brand new weapon blueprint, the Cryonic Depth Charge.

Bugfixes and Tuning:

Hotkeys in the Base Planner will once again be functional.

The Stealth Systems retrofit group has been reviewed and some corrections have been made which should allow for the retrofit to be as effective as intended.

Resource collectors have been adjusted to have a higher capacity and mine resources at a faster rate. All resource types have been adjusted to have the same rates and capacities. The rate of mining and resource capacity has been increased across the board for resource collectors levels 2-11.

All combats will now display their combat timeout timer.

Flash Requirement Updates - 11/26/14

Giving everyone some advance notice. Early in the new year our engineering team will begin working on a number of under-the-hood tech changes that will hopefully improve game performance.

However, before we can start this process, we have to make a change to the minimum required Flash Version to play Battle Pirates. While we always recommend you play on the latest version of Flash, once the process starts you will be required to update to Flash Version 11.5 or higher.
