Hi Everyone Just posting an announcement for some of the big gameplay changes and updates coming to Cosmic Strike in the near future. Major Gameplay Changes: Introducing the Battle-meter Previously you had to wander around the map to find and complete all the objectives to complete the mission. This would sometimes get quite tedious and tiresome. Therefore the new battle-meter mechanic has been introduced to help liven things up and keep things interesting. The meter starts off at 100% and any kill will deplete the meter by a set % amount. Once the meter has been depleted the faction boss will spawn, kill the boss to compete the mission. Different bosses will spawn depending on map difficulty. Because of the introduction of the battle-meter, all current primary objectives have been changed to secondary objectives. Completing the new and improved secondary objectives will now increase the battle-meter multiplier. Increasing the battle-meter multiplier (maximum of x5) will deplete the meter faster meaning the boss will spawn faster. But completing the new and improved secondary objectives will also increase your mission credits reward by the same amount (maximum of x5). Therefore giving more incentive to go and complete the secondary objectives. The next major gameplay change I want to talk about is the new and improved Secondary Objectives. Current primary objectives vs New Secondary Objectives 1.FIND AND KILL THE 'GREEN' BOOGERS: - This is the same has not changed. 2.FIND AND DESTROY ALL THE MUTATED BOOGER NESTS:- This is the same has not changed. 3. FIND AND CAPTURE THE AREA:- Is now FIND AND CAPTURE THE GUN PLATFORM Find the gun platform stay within the radius to bring it back online, the platform will then shoot any enemy within range. 4. FIND AND RETRIEVE THE 10 POWERCORES: - Is now RETURN THE POWERCORE TO BRING THE MISSILE PLATFORM ONLINE. Find and return the missing powercore to bring the missile platform online, once online the missiles will aim at any nearby enemy. Missiles will also go over obstacles unlike the gun platform. 5.FIND AND KILL THE UNKNOWN 'WORM' BOOGER: This is the same has not changed. 6.FIND AND DEFUSE THE BOMBS: - The bombs will now explode upon contact with the players ship dealing damage. However this will still count as a defuse. 7. PLANT THE BOMB ON THE SPIKEY BOOGER: - Is now FIND AND ACTIVATE THE REPAIR STATION. Find the repair station stay within the radius to bring it back online, the station will then repair you when within range. 8. FIND AND ESCORT THE 'DESTROYERS: - the aiming AI has been improved hugely the destroyers will now hit 90% of their targets, their damage has also been increased. 9. FIND AND DEPLOY THE SATELLITE:- is now FIND THE MISSING PROTOTYPE TO BRING THE SHIELD ONLINE. Find the prototype return to the shield generator to bring the shield online. The shield will create a 360 degrees bubble that will block any enemy missile or projectile. Also any enemy that enters the shield will take damage. 10. FIND AND PROTECT THE LOST SHIP:- The mechanics of the objective have been improved and the aiming AI has been improved. Some of new and improved Secondary Objectives are still subject to change before the next big update. There is still so much more to talk about in the next big update for Cosmic Strike, so stay tuned for future announcement and patch notes!
