Bounty Hunt Event
Update 13.0 also includes a new iteration of the Bounty Hunt event together with changes that were previously announced in Update 12.8. The Bounty Hunt event will be available in Random Battles, and when taking on the Bounty role, players need to helm Tier VI–X battleships, cruisers, or destroyers in battle.
Both players with Bounty role and regular players will be able to earn Star Tokens, which they will be able to spend in the Star Emissaries Armory category. The main rewards are Bionic permanent camouflages for Des Moines, Buffalo, and Baltimore. Players will also be able to obtain Coal, common bonuses containers, and signals.
Star Emissaries
Besides the previously mentioned Bounty event and rewards, more goods can be found in the Star Emissaries Armory category!
As part of the event, you can use Doubloons to buy random bundles that hold STAR Kitakaze, STAR Edinburgh, Commanders Andromeda and Triangulum with 10 skill points and individual voiceovers, expendable economic bonuses, and other valuable rewards.
The main feature of these ships is their permanent camouflages, which dynamically change their appearance in the midst of battle depending on whether the ship is detected.
Ship Parameters Display in Battle
We've added a feature that enables players to see various ship parameters while in battle! Essentially, players will be able to click on opposing and allied ships in the Team window before or during a battle (press/hold the Tab key to access this window). A tooltip will appear providing information on the selected ship, such as hit points, armament ranges, movement speed, and possible consumables, among other parameters.
This feature also allows players to hover their mouse over attributes such as shells, torpedoes, and consumables in-battle and check the data for those items, similar to the functionality in Port.
Armory
With the release of Update 13.0, Halford will become available in the Armory for 228,000 Coal.
Halford is the first hybrid destroyer in our game, and the ship carries an attack aircraft tactical squadron equipped with the Engine Cooling consumable. The aircraft are armed with powerful Tiny Tim rockets with high damage and armor penetration characteristics.
