MK2 Returns

The MK2’s Return!

Mk2 robots and their Calibration Templates are being reintroduced in the next patch with a little extra twist!

As you maybe aware the Mk1 combats already have the +1 head and +1 legs slots from the original Vanilla game and will not be added to here. We find it important to not exceed the original performance of Mk2’s to allow room for higher robot tech levels, role-based specializations, and siege platforms.
Thus the hi-tech bonus and base bot stats were augmented to increase the effectiveness of the Mk2 even without additional slots (Note: the industrials will receive the +1 slots).

All Mk2’s receive the following stat boosts, bolded where the increase is greater than vanilla:

+10% CPU/Reactor
+16.67% Mass
+2 Max Targets
+50% Cargo Size
+1 Hi-tech bonus*

*Bonuses for the Mk2’s were also carefully considered. Many will remember the flat damage increase, even on Electronic-warfare bots. We sought to remedy this and help use the Mk2 bonus to solidify their role or factional advantages:

Pelistal Combat: +1% Missile Optimal Range
Pelistal Ewar: +1% Neutralized and Drained Energy Amount
Nuimqol Combat: -1% Magnetic Weapon Cycle Time
Nuimqol Ewar: +1% EW Strength
Thelodica Combat: +1% Critical Hit Chance
Thelodica Ewar: +1% Sensor Suppressor Range and Time Modification
Industrial Miners: +1% Mined Amount
Industrial Harvesters: +1% Harvested Amount
Industrial Haulers: +1% Demobilizer Resistance

MK2 CT Capsules!

A common issue players have with CT’s is that they can’t be trading on the market, which for artifacters was a big pain to get their loot to interested buyers. While making the CT itself market-able is still a deeply rooted problem with how items with special properties are handled, we have a solution that gets the best of both worlds!
Introducing all new CT Capsules! These are a special item found only in artifact loot (so far) that can be “Activated” in your storage to produce a MK2 CT.
They are able to be traded, bought and sold via the Market, which will ease players’ ability to sell and buy CT’s that they are looking for.

The CT Capsule, when an order is placed, can be found under the Syndicate Items / Requisition Slips category, same as the Robot Paints.

The CT Capsules come in 3 tech levels [T1, T2, T3] where each tech level indicates the quality (point-values) of the CT it will yield.

See Below for a Walk-through with Pictures on how to use the new MK2 CT Capsules!
