It has been a while since our last newspost. We had many things to clean up and complete before the Fleet Operations v3 release. As it draws closer most features have been reworked and finished. We will publish a few previews within the next weeks.
We will start today with the new Warpin feature. Vessels do now warpin from the map border and jump to impulse once they reached the destination you ordered. You will be granted control of your new vessel once it droped to impulse. Here is a small video clip of a Descent Class reaching the sector just in time to assist the Fleet against two Borg Cubes. On screen!

Gameplay-wise Warpin has been split into two seperate abilities. The normal Warpin will only cost 2 credits and grants you either an good old Excelsior, a Steamrunner, a Nebula or a Galaxy, randomly selected. The "Experimental Warpin" allows you to call for aid of an NX-Ship, namely the Descent or the Avalon if you play with Admiral Risner's support.
