Each week we’ll be rolling out an additional reward for the Featured Episode “Midnight.” The first week’s reward is the Sol Defense Deflector Array. In addition, the first completion of “Midnight” on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward box. The weekly reward box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point, which gives the character who opens the box a Specialization Point. The weekly reward box, tech upgrade, and specialization point box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.
Developed by the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, the Sol Defense Deflector Array is designed to offer defensive benefits first and foremost. The array enhances a ship’s hull and shield healing abilities, while offering added protection against slowing, disabling, and draining effects. Players will receive the Sol Defense Deflector Array at a rank-appropriate Mark, and it can be freely upgraded to Mk XII. Further upgrades will require Technology Points and Dilithium as normal.
The Sol Defense Deflector Array is part of the Desperate Defenses set. Collect pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:
Desperate Defenses Set
Impact Distribution Manifolds (2 piece)
This two piece bonus increases your ship’s Kinetic and Energy Damage Resistance Ratings.
Discharge Repair Nanites
This three piece bonus restores hit points to allied ships within range. Affected ships then release additional nanites, restoring hit points to allied ships and fighters in a small area around each target.
The first completion of “Midnight” will also give players the Peacemaker Title and the Iconian Vest Outfit. Once unlocked, the outfit can be worn by both male and female captains. The iconian vest outfit category offers a great deal of customization, with a full color palette and multiple accessories for the upper and lower body.
Next week we’ll reveal week two’s reward for “Midnight.” Stay tuned!
