    General information
    The Eos Division joins the fray. Once subjects of experimentation, they are determined to rebuild their lives from scraps. The N.O.V.A. are mercenaries for hire and have decided to offer their expertise in space battles to a greater cause - yours. Why not hire one to aid you in your day-to-day duties?
    There are 3 new N.O.V.A.s available with the launch of this content expansion:
    Neo-Operational Vanguard Agents from the Eos Division were once subjects of experimentation by Lifehacker, now determined to rebuild their lives from scraps. They excel at maneuvering unstable spaces and scavenging for resources.

    When opening the N.O.V.A. window, you can assign a N.O.V.A. by selecting the EQUIP button. The N.O.V.A. is then set as active.
    Each N.O.V.A. comes with 2 perks, each of which affords a certain boost. These perks are randomised at the time of obtaining and can be further upgraded.
    When activating a N.O.V.A., energy is consumed and its perks will be active. Once the N.O.V.A. runs out of energy, the perks will no longer be active. N.O.V.A.s will need to be unequipped in order to regain energy.
    The maximum amount of N.O.V.A.s you can own is 30. If you obtain a N.O.V.A. when your N.O.V.A. inventory is already full, it will be converted into 10,000 Uridium each.
    Note: The species of N.O.V.A. that you obtain will be random. However, they only vary aesthetically. The possible perks rolled are the same for the three species.
    You can dismiss unwanted N.O.V.A. and get Evocation Chips in return. The selling price for each N.O.V.A. is 50 Evocation Chips.
    You can obtain N.O.V.A.s from the Shop (under the Extras section), or limited-time payment packages. There is a chance of getting N.O.V.A.s from both Neo and Eos Divisions via the Uridium shop option. There’s also a special N.O.V.A. Galaxy Gate weekend which takes place regularly and which provides N.E.U. chips that you can use to obtain a N.O.V.A. from Neo Division via Assembly.

    Update to Old Perks
    With the introduction of the new Eos Division agents, also some of the existing perks have been re-balanced.
    The already existing perks for Galaxy Gates (Damage Skyrocket, Fleet Foot and Sturdy Hull) have been enhanced from affecting A/B/G Galaxy Gates to affecting all buildable Galaxy Gates with this update. The buildable Galaxy Gates are: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Lambda, Kuiper, Hades, Zeta, Kappa, Kronos.
    The increment values for upgrading existing perks are also increased.

    New Perks Available
    On hire, the new N.O.V.A.s from Eos Division start with 2 random perks. The N.O.V.A.s agents of the new division are very familiar with scavenging for resources in various perilous environments.

    Perk Upgrading Cost
    To increase a perk’s level, you need the brand-new Evocation chips as well as Uridium. The maximum level that a perk can be upgraded to is level 5.
    The costs of upgrading perks to the next level is as follows:
    LevelEvocation ChipsUridium
    1--
    22502000
    32752200
    43032420
    53332662
    Example:
    • Upgrading from Level 3 to Level 4
      • 303 Evocation Chips
      • 2420 Uridium
    Energy
    Each N.O.V.A. has the same amount of energy but can have different total energy costs (determined by the sum of each perk’s energy cost). As soon as you equip a N.O.V.A., the energy is consumed immediately in real-time. This means that the N.O.V.A. remains active only if the N.O.V.A.‘s current energy is more than the total energy cost.
    Example:
    • N.O.V.A.s energy = 3500/300000
    • Energy cost for Knowledge Seeker = 15 per second
    • Energy cost for P.E.T. Ranger = 20 per second
    • This means that the N.O.V.A.'s total energy cost is 35 per second and it will last for 100 seconds with the remaining energy
    Equipped N.O.V.A.s will stay equipped even if their energy has depleted. But if so, the perks will no longer be active.
    PerkDescriptionEnergy Consumption (per second)
    Autonomous Extraction (GG)Chance of 2x Uridium from NPC kills in any buildable Galaxy Gates15
    Cluster Artillery (GG)Increased Laser Damage in all buildable Galaxy Gates20
    Anti-Gravity Thruster (GG)Increase Speed in all buildable Galaxy Gates30
    Field Intelligence (GG)Increase EP reward obtained after completing any buildable Galaxy Gate15
    Knowledge SeekerMore EP per kill15
    TreasurerMore Uridium from Bonus Boxes40
    Code of ConductMore Honor15
    Need for SpaceExpand Cargo Bay20
    Damage Skyrocket (GG)Increase Rocket Damage in all buildable Galaxy Gates20
    Fleet Foot (GG)Increase evasion in all buildable Galaxy Gates30
    Sturdy Hull (GG)Increase Shield in all buildable Galaxy Gates30
    Energy Regen - Replenishing Energy
    The only way that N.O.V.A.s can replenish their energy is if they are rested (i.e. unequipped)
    Each N.O.V.A. has an Energy Regen value which determines the rate at which the N.O.V.A.s energy will be replenished. With this release, each N.O.V.A. will have an Energy Regen value of 10 per second.
    How to Hire N.O.V.A.s
    You can hire N.O.V.A.s from the Shop (under the Extras section), or limited-time payment packages. There is a chance of getting N.O.V.A.s from both Neo and Eos Divisions via the Uridium shop option. During special N.O.V.A. Galaxy Gate weekends, there’s a chance that the new N.E.U. chips are dropping and you can use them to build the N.O.V.A.s from the Neo Division via Assembly.
