Whats new in the update from 5/23/2013

What just because I'm a day late you didn't think I wouldn't look at what they added this week did you?

So 2 of the 3 main things added to the specials we all know about:
  • Concussive Upgrade I
  • Evade Upgrade I
But there is also another new special not yet released, which is pictured above:
  • Nuclear Combustion
Edit 5/25: we were initially guessing on this just by the picture, hadn't found the desc at the time yet
something to make missiles hit harder?
something to make them explode like morts?
something that will never be released?

We'll see as time goes on. (or we'll go off the description splash and speed increase for explosive weapons).

On the weapons front there is a lot of holes in the data I see.  3 new weapons, no new names (one may be a bombard drac weapon).  I still have 6 holes from a previous files too, so maybe I should look harder one of these days.  Oh well.

Weapons I may have missed in the past:
  • Maelstrom5
Drac Bases - what may be in them:
  • Defensive Platforms
  • Command Center
  • Producers (zyn, energy, oil and metal).. hey just like us!
  • Quad Top platforms
  • WH's
  • Guard Fleets
  • Walls
  • Hab Block (hell if I know)
Similar to our bases, with a hint of  a mission OP and a few twists.

Overall there was a large change in the format of the data, so not sure what all I've missed and will have to dig back through and update this post as needed.

  1. Hmmmm. Seems more like a mortar special rather than missiles....

  2. Also I wonder how you view this data if I may be bold enough to ask. I might be interested in dumpster diving so to speak in this myself.

  3. Yeah explosive is mortar, not missile.

    And if I told you that you wouldn't have to come visit me every week!

  4. Speculation: Do you think it could be along the same lines as the concussive and evade stack on bonuses, but for the increased mortar damage?

    1. Yes due to when it is being released that would be my assumption

  5. "Hab block" is short for "Habitation Block", which in a paramilitary context would probably be a barracks of some sort.

    1. Odds are he won't since they update RIGHT before the Forsaken Missions now.

    2. Nothing new yet. May see something a day before missions from time to time, but normally it is hours before they flip the switch. It keeps getting shorter and shorter.

    3. Even now that the new mission is announced, nothing new in the files that wasn't there last week. So maybe kixeye spent the week fixing bugs! We can hope at least.

  8. We have a new "releasenotes.xml", however there's no game-related data in it as of yet.

    It has the message "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin nulla orci, tristique lobortis laoreet vel, placerat ac leo. Praesent hendrerit, diam eu pellentesque commodo, velit lacus facilisis dui, et luctus ipsum lectus fermentum est. Suspendisse nec adipiscing lacus. Aliquam fermentum pellentesque porta. Integer porttitor nisi". It's all perfectly translatable, but of no relevance, and somewhat jumbled.

    1. Funny, I've never looked at that one before. Will have to add it into my list. I utilize a few others.
