Rapid Fire skill

This skill reduces the loading times and the cooldown of the rocket launcher.
Once activated the rocket launcher will reload immediately and so, if you have the HST-2 and Rocket Launcher CPU, you will be able to fire up to 3 salvos of 5 rockets each.
That means up to 30,000 points of extra damage using the best ammo, and 14,000 with regular rockets.

Active duration: 3 seconds
Cooldown: 40 seconds
Full Set effect: None

Speed Boost skill

Once toggled, your Tartarus’ base speed changes to 300 (instead of default 260) while your drone’s laser damage is reduced by 5%.
When used, the base speed of the ship will change to 300. The damage of any laser equipped on the drones will be reduced a 5%

Active duration: Toggle
Cooldown: 10 seconds between switching on/off

Full Set effect: Pilots with a full matching set of Chimera / Phantom designs will be able to enjoy the Tartarus’ special visual effect.

When the Speed Boost is activated, the P.E.T. and Drones dock with your ship. Once docked, the P.E.T. will switch into passive mode. While the Drone Formation visuals are not displayed, their stats bonuses will still be in effect!

 

Test 2 is open. Remember what we want feedback on please.

 

We are running a second open beta test.


All players should receive the ship and the full set of designs for the drones and the P.E.T. so you can try out the animation.


The OBT ends at 11h CEST (UTC+2)
