Plutus Experiments

General information

Plutus’ aliens are located on different maps with different categories:

-Low risk beacons, known as “Experiment Zone 1” can be reached via jump gates that appear on the X-1 maps during the event. The low risk beacon is intended for players under level 16.
There is no PvP on the Experiment Zone 1

-Medium risk beacons are located on special maps that can be reached via jump gates that appear on X-5 maps:
Go to “Experiment Zone 2-1” via a Jump Gate on Map 1-5
Go to “Experiment Zone 2-2” via a Jump Gate on Map 2-5
Go to “Experiment Zone 2-2” via a Jump Gate on Map 3-5
There is no PvP on the Experiment Zone 2.

- Finally there’s also one high risk beacon on the map 4-4.



According to the risk, the beacons drop powerful aliens which must be shot by the players.

The beacons will spawn in their specific location and remain unchanged until they’re shot down. The low and medium risk beacons have a 20 minute cooldown once destroyed. The high risk beacon has a 30 minutes cooldown.

As soon as the beacon is attacked, a 45 seconds countdown appears which is visible to all players. During this time frame, all players should attack the beacon: According to how much damage is inflicted in total, an NPC spawns. This NPC stays on the map until it’s shot down or – if not shot down - for a certain time frame.

The NPC must be destroyed for the rewards to be given, rather than the timer running out. Rewards are shared between all players that attacked the beacon. Exception: If the NPC dropped from the low risk beacon, the rewards are only shared among the players that are below level 16.

The reward boxes that are dropping from the NPCs are only visible for individual players and they cannot be stolen by other players. Every player can only receive one box as a reward. The more damage a player inflicts, the better the box rewards will be.



Special ammunition

RB-214 ammunition will deal x8 damage to the beacons as well as to the NPCs that are spawning.


New Ores: Tarnom Ore & Opitite Ore



Tarnom Ore and Opitite ore can be collected from the reward boxes. They can be used in the Event Assembly Recipes. Players can check the amount of ores in their Inventory (accessed from Hangar page) or in the Assembly Recipe where they can use the ores.
The ores will not take up space in ship cargo, however Opitite Ore can be dropped in a player’s cargo box.





Event Assembly Recipes

The Event Assembly Recipies will end 24 hours after the event officially ends so that the players still have time to use up any remaining ore.

Retargeting PET Gear – G-RT1


With this Retargeting Gear, the PET will increase damage and only target enemy pets. While the Retargeting Gear is active, the PET will consume fuel at a higher rate.

The PET can be equipped with this Gear in the Hangar. The Gear can be activated via PET window in the Client and will then be active for 30 seconds.

While the Retargeting Gear is active, it will automatically target and shoot enemy PET. The player’s PET has a 50% Damage Bonus while the Gear is active. If there’s no enemy pet within the range of the equipped PET, it just follows the user with a passive behavior. The PET cannot detect or kill enemy pets that are affected by a cloak.

A PET equipped with this gear will target other PETs that aren’t from the same faction, clan or group.

Once the Retargeting Gear has ended, it will go on a cooldown of 240 seconds. This cooldown is not affected by cooldown boosters and while in cooldown.




New Techs

The techs are gained as rewards instead of via Skylab like usual. If a player receives one, it can be activated via hotbar in the tech section.


Explosive Charging Blob (ECB)

The tech is only usable when the player has a target (only player ships are valid targets). If so, and the player activates the Explosive Charging Blob, a projectile is launched and attaches to the enemy. The enemy cannot remove the projectile by themselves.

The projectile can be thrown within a range of 600 (as a comparison: The LF-4 has a range of 600). If the player moves more than 900 range away from the enemy who has the projectile, then it will be disarmed.
[Screenshots attached showing an example of the range because it isn’t displayed within the game]
The Explosive Charging Blob lasts for 6 seconds and after they are up, the enemy gets 350,000 damage. A way to defend themselves is, that the enemy shoots back at the player during the 6 seconds and the damage that Explosive Charging Blob does will be reduced by the amount of damage that the player sustained. The damage reduction from received damage stops at 50,000 which means that no matter how much damage the player receives during those 6 seconds, the Explosive Charging Blob will always do a minimum of 50,000 damage.

If the player is using a cloak, it will be removed when the Explosive Charging Blob is activated. Additional cloaks that the player attempts to activate will automatically be removed until the Explosive Charging Blob has finished. It has a cooldown of 20 minutes.



Burning Trail (BRT)

When the Burning Trail has been activated, it will remain active for 10 seconds. During the first 5 seconds, the player drops an object on their position once every second. These objects inflict 30,000 damage within a certain radius which only effects enemy players. If the damage areas of multiple objects overlap, the damage they do in the overlapping areas will stack. The objects remain on the maps until the 10 seconds of the tech are finished, then they disappear. These objects can neither be targeted nor destroyed.

The player who uses the tech will not be affected by their own Burning Trail and they see their own burning trail in a different color from other players’ burning trail.

Once the Burning Trail is finished, a cooldown of 20 minutes starts.



NPC Nuke (NNK)

The NPC Nuke lasts for 60 seconds. When it is active, once every 10 seconds the players’ ship inflicts 100,000 damage on NPCs that are inside a certain area surrounding the ship. A timer above the players’ ship shows how long it is until the next Nuke will occur whilst the tech is active. The first damage is done when the tech is activated. After 60 seconds the NPC Nuke will go on a cooldown of 20 minutes.



Battle Repair Bot 2 (BRB2)

This is an upgraded version of the existing Battle Repair Bot tech. The Battle Repair Bot 2 lasts for 10 seconds and it repairs the players’ HP and Shield like the following:
-HP repair per second: 20,000
-Shield repair per second: 35,000
After 10 seconds the Battle Repair Bot will end and go on a cooldown of 20 minutes.



Backup Shield 2 (BS2)

This is an upgraded version of the already existing Backup Shield tech. Upon activation the player receives +450,000 shield. If the player is missing less than 450,000 shield of their maximum, then the shield will just go full. A number which pops up and fades away shows how much shield is received.
After the tech has been activated, it will go on a cooldown of 20 minutes.





New Ship

A new ship will be available during event time: the Hecate Ship! It can be won from the rewards boxes with a rare chance. If a player already has this ship and it drops again, then a default reward of 10,000 Uridium will be booked.


HP: 277,500
Nanohull: 277,500
Passive Damage: 7%
Passive Shield: 10%
Speed: 300
Laser Slots: 15
Generator Slots: 16
Special Slots: 3
Rocket Launchers: 1

Skill: Particle Beam
An enemy ship within a range of 600 can be targeted and when attacking it, the damage is increasing in waves. If the enemy ship goes beyond 1,000 range, the ability is cancelled.
It starts with a base damage of 8,050 and increases every second by 6,000, lasting 5 seconds.
While this skill is activated, the ship's speed is reduced by 10%.
The ability has a cooldown of 85 seconds.

This skill can be interrupted by JAMX effect and the player can also be prevented from using the skill by a JAMX. The skill damage will not affect NPCs, only players and e.g. Beacons are affected.




New Ship Designs
There will be 4 new ship designs called “Dusklight” coming together with the event:
-Dusklight G-Champion
-Dusklight Spectrum
-Dusklight Cyborg
-Dusklight Hecate




Progression points

Progression points can be collected from the reward boxes that are dropping from the NPCs. You can exchange them into items according to the table below:

Progression points	Reward

Rewards
The rewards that can be found in the reward boxes include 2 new ores and 2 new ship designs. The higher the risks, the better the rewards (see tables below).

In addition to the boxes, the high risk NPCs are also dropping the following Dusklight Ship Designs by chance. They are belonging to the player who shot the NPC first:
-Dusklight Champion Design

-Dusklight Cyborg Design

Info: If the player who does the first shot leaves the map or stops shooting, the ownership goes to the next player (second shot, and so on).
