Features

Zone 13 - Saga of Drunken Ragnar
*Follow the tribulations of Ragnar in an all new mini-zone!
*The zone's breakdown follows the same template as past mini-zones, which contains 4 missions and 1 boss.
*There is no end of zone item since Zone 13 continues the mini-zone cycle.
*The cosplay winner, Sigune, is featured in this zone as a craftable officer: Svana Spunbracher.
*Svana Spunbracher shares has the same synergy type as Anita, Falyx and Gera Marl; her attack and defense increases for every active Melee crew in your ship.
*Please note that one of her craftable components, the Orange Word-Axe, is only available from the the Legendary and Nightmare versions of the zone 13 raid boss.
*Also note (and without too much spoilers) that the different names between the zone 13 raid essence and the raid boss' name is intentional.


Raid Rampage Event - Extended 1 More Week!
*The following raids still have their loot drops increased: Besalaad Warmaster, Nemo, Dule's Robot, Cybersmash, Agony and Ecstasy, Robotic Rautha 2.0, Terminus Deathsquad and Purple Lion.
*These raids in particular were chosen to assist players' progress through the later zones that have item requirements and therefor catch up to the recently released Zone 13, and for the upcoming Zone 14 later this month.


Fixes and Changes
*Completely removed Laser Fodder as a random drop from the Zone 3 mission boss loot tables; there was a very rare circumstance where a handful of players were able to get 2 versions of Laser Fodder. Those that have 2 Laser Fodders have had them removed, or will be removed soon. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
*A hotfix will be incoming for the next 3 bugs:
**There is a visual bug that may affect some players where their officers show an experience deficit in the negatives (for example, a level 2 officer may show as level 1 but with -2000 exp); simply gain a few raid experience points to revert the officers back to their normal levels.
**Svana Spunbrancher also has a visual bug where her Attack/Defense synergy bonus does not count the initial melee crew added to the ship; There will be a hotfix for this as well.
**Biological Warfare does not work for the zone 13 raid boss at the moment.
*As stated, a hotfix will be coming to fix the 3 aforementioned bugs. Don't panic! Here's a towel.
