Hailstorm

Event Overview



 * not updated yet as at 5 Dec 2014

With the infiltration and siege of Draconian Arctic installations successful, Forsaken crews were able to break into Draconian vaults and managed to locate the first cryo blueprint. Though we have failed to extract it, we’ve now pinpointed its new hiding location. With every excursion into the Arctic the Forsaken have risked retaliation from the Draconians, and now rumors have started to trickle in about a secret Draconian monster sub, The Kraken.

Prize Recommendations
1)Cryo Launcher D104-N - NEW PRIZE!!



An advancement in Draconian Launcher Technology, the Cryo Launcher D104-N is designed for focused bombardment on enemy ship targets which will lead to a deadly cryogenic shockwave. Cryogenic shockwaves will deal some Radioactive shockwave damage, and leave behind a floating Cryo Field, which reduces enemy Combat Speed, Damage, Fire Rate and also decrease enemy resistance by 30%.

2) Interceptor V2-C - NEW PRIZE!!

A Launcher based Variant for the Interceptor. This hull boasts increased Concussive Damage, increased Radioactive Fire Rate, and Thermal Imaging. It also has the Unreactive ability which causes Debuffs to have shorter durations making it harder to build up stacks on this hull.

3)Frostburn Interceptor - NEW PRIZE!!

A limited redemption Flagship only prize. With boosted stats over baseline Interceptor Hulls, the Frostburn Interceptor, also has the Unreactive ability, which causes Debuffs to have shorter durations making it harder to build up stacks on this hull. In addition to the Unreactive ability, it also has a built in Cryogenic Field Generator, which causes it to produce a Cryo Field around itself, that will slow enemy combat speed, fire rate, and reduce resistances of enemies who enter the field. The Cryo Field also has the added effect of being able to extinguish enemy Fire Fields. Limited to one redeem per account.
