=== New Supercruise Overcharge module enters the market, a “turning point for humanity” === | |||
[[File:CommunityNewsFeed 3.png|600px|centre]] | |||
[[Achilles Corporation|Achilles Aerospace]] have begun mass distribution of their [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|own Frame Shift Drive]] modules, capable of what their marketing is calling an ‘Overcharged’ [[Supercruise]]. | |||
This news follows the corporation urging pilots to gather [[Titan drive component|Titan Drive Components]] from the dangerous remnants of destroyed [[Thargoid Titan|Titans]]. The data gathered from the components seems to have been the catalyst to finalise what were previously only theoretical designs. | |||
The new modules are capable of incredible speeds, much like the Titans themselves. The power of this new Frame Shift Drive does, however, put immense pressure on a ship when used. | |||
In a speech at the private launch event for the module, held at Achilles headquarters, Achilles Aerospace chairman Maxine Patro said: | |||
“''As of right now, our new modules have been distributed across the galaxy, and we fully expect that this will not only be a turning point in history for Achilles, but for the whole of humanity. We have truly revolutionised supercruise and, with this leap, we take another step out from under the Thargoids’ technological shadow. Thank you, Achilles engineers''.” | |||

=== The Assault on Oya === | |||
[[File:NewsImageThargoidIncursion.png|600px|centre]] | |||
'''*Pilots’ Federation Alert*''' | |||
[[Thargoid Titan|Titan Oya]] is under siege. This is an urgent call to all independent pilots to aid in the complete defeat of the third Titan. | |||
The key modules for the assault continue to be readily available at all [[Rescue Vessel|Rescue Megaships]]: | |||
* [[Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser]] – To break through the maelstrom defence wave. | |||
* [[Caustic Sink Launcher]]s – To protect your ship from caustic effects of the [[Thargoid Maelstrom|maelstrom]]. | |||
* [[Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon]] – To hamper the Titan’s vents and make it vulnerable to damage. | |||
Rewards have been requisitioned for all Commanders able to participate in ending the Titan threat. | |||
Good luck, Commanders. | |||

=== Anti-Guardian field project yields breakthrough - New modifications available === | |||
[[File:NewsImage guardians1.png|600px|centre]] | |||
'''*Pilots’ Federation ALERT*''' | |||
The engineer [[Ram Tah]] has discovered a [[Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance|method of immunising existing Guardian modules]] against the effects of anti-Guardian fields. | |||
Earlier this year, Ram Tah discovered that certain [[Unclassified Relic|Guardian relics]] revealed and activated nanite clusters when exposed to specific electromagnetic frequencies. These nanites proved disruptive to Thargoid technology on a molecular level and, importantly, were entirely unaffected by anti-Guardian fields unlike other Guardian technology. | |||
In an urgent press conference, [[Aegis]] leadership announced a breakthrough in researching that latter quality. | |||
The following statement was given by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]]: | |||
“''Our knowledge of the Thargoids’ ancient adversary, the Guardians, is still so very limited, and yet Guardian technology has once again paved a way forward for humanity''.” | |||
“''We urge pilots to use the modifications we are producing to utilise any powerful Guardian modules in their possession. Use them to push back against the [[Thargoid]] threat. Use them to win [[Second Thargoid War|this war]]''.” | |||
Aegis went on to announce that the modifications can now be made at Ram Tah’s workshop in the [[Meene]] system. | |||

=== Thargoid War Bulletin: Oya Successfully Attacked === | |||
[[File:NewsImage thargoids3.png|600px|centre]] | |||
[[Thargoid Titan|Titan Oya]] in the Cephei Sector BV-Y B4 system has been confirmed as destroyed by [[Aegis]], leaving five still operational. | |||
[[Aden Tanner]], Aegis’s lead anti-xeno strategist, delivered a cautionary statement: | |||
“''I must remind all Commanders that these missions are highly dangerous and cannot be undertaken lightly. Entering a [[Thargoid Maelstrom|Maelstrom]] and flying close to a Titan requires your ship to be outfitted with [[Caustic Sink Launcher|caustic sink launchers]] and [[Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser|Thargoid pulse neutralisers]]. AX weaponry will also prove useful, as will [[Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon|Guardian nanite torpedoes]] to target the Titans’ thermal vents''.” | |||
“''Be warned that your combat skills will be tested. Counter-attacks by Thargoid vessels become more frequent as the Titans take damage , and the mothership’s own turrets are deployed more aggressively. I would like to see veteran anti-xeno pilots passing on their knowledge to less-experienced pilots, to prevent unnecessary risks''.” | |||
