• Add new frames (normal and lightweight) in size 2x6. The frames will be awarded at certain levels of the “Engineers” and “Lunatics” factions.

Balance changes:

• Slightly reduce durability of “Twin wheel” and “Twin wheel ST”.
• Slightly reduce durability of “Large wheel” and “Large wheel ST”.

• Slightly reduce the power penalty when installing the wheels “Landing gear” and “Landing gear ST”.

Interface

In the game interface you will see a number of curious and long-awaited features. So, we are planning to:

• Improve in-game chat:
  • Add the option to completely disable chat in the game settings.
  • Add the option to disable team chat in battle.
• Add the option to change the appearance of the mini-map (radar):
  • Radar size selection
  • Displayed map area size selection
  • Radar marker size selection.
• Remove auto-queueing for the next battle when 20 seconds pass after the concluson of the previous battle in “Missions” mode.
  • The debriefing interface will now have 2 buttons: “To battle” and “To garage”.
  • To join the next battle you will have to manually press the button “To battle”.

In addition to the above changes, we also plan to fix a lot of known bugs, improve/ rework a lot of in-game sounds and a number of models of in-game parts. Besides, we have analyzed player feedback on our plans to expand the map rotation in Clan battles and have decided not to include the map “Sector EX” in the rotation.

Please note that the plans described in this article are preliminary and may change in the development process or never make it into the game.

Additional information on the update 0.9.120

After collecting the initial statistics on the new system of weekly challenges, we came to the conclusion that the average time spent on challenges in missions is significantly higher than we initially assumed. At the same time, we believe that the reward for completing challenges in hard raids, brawls and Invasion should be higher and fit the trial that the player is going through. Therefore, we plan to ease the terms of challenges in missions and, accordingly, slightly reduce the number of awarded badges. The reward for challenges completed in hard raids, brawls and Invasion, on the contrary, will be increased without any changes in the conditions of the challenges themselves. The total number of badges received for completing all weekly challenges will remain unchanged.

• Now you have to win 10 battles in the mission “Get the wires!” instead of 15. Reward will be changed from 150 to 100 badges.
• Now you have to win 12 battles in the mission “Get the batteries!” instead of 20. Reward will be changed from 450 to 350 badges.
• The reward for completing the challenge “Take the prize spot 9 times in any brawl” will be increased from 150 to 175 badges.
• The reward for completing the challenge “Win 10 battles in Invasion vs. Leviathan” will be increased from 150 to 175 badges.
• The reward for completing the challenge “Win 10 battles in hard raids with electronics as a reward” will be increased from 450 to 500 badges.
• The reward for completing the challenge “Win 10 battles in hard raids with copper as a reward” will be increased from 450 to 500 badges.

We also plan to change the conditions for procuring electronics in hard raids. 1 unit of the resource will be awarded for every 70 pts. instead of the current 100.
