Billy “Zarko” didn’t DIE!

We haven’t confirmed how, but it appears that Billy “Coyote” Zarko has managed to get his hands on a cloning device. The standing theory is that he pirated it off of some research vessel that got a little too lost.

The good news is that it looks like he hasn’t quite mastered the technology yet. Every clone so far that we have run into has been defective in one way or another. We need to take advantage of that before the clones have a chance to mature.

🎮 The new zones and drops are implemented to provide a progression path for every player, being able to reach and play the endgame content. Players were reaching hunter’s rest and there was a huge leap between that zone, playable with a No Hugs, and the endgame content that is played with a Katydid or PF Flyer.

🕹️ R7b consists of:

• Gamblers Row and Coyotes Den, continue your fight against Zarko in these increased difficulty zones. 🗺️
• Completing the Zarko’s mission at Hunters rest now drops a piece of striker blueprint.
• The Frontier is now a solo zone and The Deep Frontier is our group content.
• New Faction: King Station Security Wing — reach lvl 10 and keep it up every week to maintain the 20% increased shield player bonus.
• New Faction: The Collective, visit Liaison-Mu to exchange your pieces of blueprints.
• Ships re-balancing. 🔁
• New Drop: Consumable Telemetry One-Time-Use (OTU) get them at The Frontier, use them to craft enhanced versions of ships, weapons and modules (take advantage of your blockchain telemetry + OTU Telemetry for better results).
• New Drops: Deaths kiss, striker and katydid pieces of blueprints. Gather enough pieces to make a complete OTU blueprint. Get them from The King Station Security Wing Faction (KSSW) missions.
• KSSW Missions also have a low chance to drop high-tier OTU blueprints of weapons.
• These new zones and drops provide a provisional progress ladder for every player to reach and experience the endgame content.
