Greetings, pilots!
Another cycle has come and gone and of course I'm late, again! I have been very busy of late outside the crypto space. So busy, in fact, that I'm a little glad the coming update is delayed. Speaking of updates, the commander made an appearance in the hub and assured us that this would be our last Sunday in the year 2022. Pretty soon we will warp to 2325...
Some new important concepts that will be part of the new UI have come to light! Lots of new stats!
Status- A "global" stat that represents the average from the combined Health, Stamina, Happiness, and Morale values.
Events- Positive or Negative, will have respective temporary bonus effects on Happiness or Morale.
Expertise- A proficiency or skill value bonus that only applies during specific situations. ie "vegetation expertise" (used during plant research).
Teams- of 2, 3, or 4(?) created through the citizen interface. Members usually work at the same time. A complete team (no absent members) activates Team values, giving a bonus percentage to the proficiency of all members!
Team Experience- builds automatically and more quickly the bigger the team but more slowly if there are inactive members. Team experience is lost when members are switched out.
Domain Experience- builds the more a team works on a certain domain. Each domain (starhips, habitats, etc) has a separate domain experience and the bonus only applies to that team. Experience is lost when members are switched out. Later, individual team members will also gain Domain Expertise which they keep even if they work in a different team.
Team Synergy- the synergy and relation of all team members (who will have different personalities). Reveals itself over time. A good Team Synergy will make Positive Events more likely and vice versa.
This week, 3 people have a chance at winning:
x1 Syndicate Trooper
The Syndicate Trooper may look like a bland card at first glance. But if you think it is, oh you are wrong. If it were, it would at least be of common rarity but it is rare. It says "Syndicate" on the card so if you have a Kumicho, this card will benefit from her QL buff. It also says "Criminal" so if you have the Repentant Pirate origin you could stack yet another quality bonus. We have yet to see what "Stealthy" means, unless it means the character is generated with a high Stealth skill? Stealth helps to evade direct attacks but also allows evasion of battle entirely. Should it come to battle though, I hope you give this trooper a gun because they have a skill grade in Shooting. And it's purple, which seems better than yellow.
