Patch Notes: War Star Empire

New this week in War Star Empire:

Welcome to Season 12!

Welcome to Season 12! Going into the new season, all Leaderboards and PvP Points are reset, meaning that it’s a fresh start for YOUR Clan to be the new the dominating Clan of the Season, and win the Seasonal Clan Tournament Grand Prize of 10,000 Gold for your Clan at the end of the Season in 3 months from now. Does your Clan have what it takes?

For a sneak peak at what’s coming up this season in Battlehouse games, check out the Developer Roadmap in the most recent edition of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.

Game Improvements

We’ve also made another high in community demand quality-of-life improvement to the settings menu interface!

The immersion based “screen shake” effect that occurs after a building is destroyed is now optional, so players who are sensitive to the screen movement or players that experience additional game lag from the effects can turn them off if they choose to do so.

Head on into the settings menu, scroll down to the new “Enable Screen Shake” preference, toggle it over to “No”, and then hit “Apply” if you want to turn the effects off at any point.

To see where the design team currently stands on various Community suggested features and game improvements, check out the War Star Empire Voice of the Commander Tracker.

Good hunting, Commanders!

New this week in War Star Empire:

New Unit Level Upgrades

The Mars Coalition made a technology breakthrough that enables us the ability to research new levels for the Shock Trooper, Tracker, Avenger, and Gun Runner.

Effective now:

• Shock Troopers, Trackers, Avengers, and Gun Runners each get 3 additional levels, and are now upgradeable to L11.

Even better, one of our recon rovers is reporting that Central Computer Level 9 and more are just around the corner. Read more in the latest issue of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.

Bug Fixes

• The L11 LRAT research requirement was previously incorrectly showing as needing Central Computer Level 9. It has been updated to it’s intended level requirement of CCL8.
• An error message that was appearing when viewing certain turret-related missions is now fixed.

• The Reserves Bay is now upgradeable to L11, allowing you to increase your army capacity!

Turret Security Team Leader Bug Fix

Attention, Commanders! A bug was recently brought to our attention that was resulting in players not being able to properly equip Turret Security Team Leaders to their proper Turret Emplacements.

Level 8 Central Computer

Attention, Commanders! The Mars Coalition has been hearing your feedback loud and clear regarding the 90 day build time for the Level 8 Central Computer being too long, and they want to help!

Effective this week: the previous 90 day build time has been reduced to 12 days. To help maintain a proper balance and keep things fair for all players, the costs for upgrading remain the same as they were previously regardless of time spent. If you are currently building and show more than 12 days remaining, you may wish to cancel and restart the project. Waiting to build/buy until now is the same cost as building/buying at release.
