We had our first card opening event yesterday!
It was for Starters, happened a bit later than scheduled, but all people could see all their 42 cards in full.
A player also released a getting started tutorial and a guide to access your cards.
But now you can also see all your cards in your collection page.
@steemmillionaire wrote a full review of his opening experience with the Ark Starter.
@kobusu also released a video opening his starters.
But the first to have deployed his video was @vcdragon with his opening cards video!
A big thank you to the community!
Moving on with Contract Opening!
The game is now moving on with its May milestones of more cards ; the next objective are Contracts, with the Contract Opening soon. All these nice Syndicate cards and Rekatron weapons!
I'll need some flexible time to end work on Contract Opening; current target is in 3 days. (May 12th now)
As mentioned before, the contract drops receive a +1 week on their drops, and they will continue to do so at whatever date they are opened. This means your drops are stored there!
So whatever date the event comes up, your contracts will be ready with all their drops.
... and now a Booster Promotion!
As you all know, the Boosters have kept their early price at 2 USD each.
They will only increase price 48 hours after booster opening, meaning they increase price in roughly one week!
This means it's time to stock up on boosters.
So there is a new promotion:
Every person with 40+ boosters will receive an additional Federal Database.
And every person with 80+ boosters will receive an additional Admiral Valro.
This promotion will go on for one week only!
These bonuses will be dispatched when the promotion ends.
If you already have all these boosters, you have nothing to do!
Otherwise it's the right moment to get them!
The Federal Database, included in the Elected Leader starter, is Versatile (usable by all crew and ships).
That is the reason why it is interesting to have more cards of it as you can then include it in several games.
It has an extremely important usage for Colonization gameplay.
The Secret Datacore you will receive is randomly determined thanks to a special Datacore loot table.
It will give you some lore (the Federation has some secrets, even about these aliens) but also act as a collectable on your colony (you can gather other datacores!) that unlocks more colony actions.
One of the most simple use of the Federal Database is always available.
It is to investigate information about your citizens.
Thanks to the citizen DNA and a history of all his actions, the system AI can determine some of his/her skills and grades. In game terms, this means you can send someone on the database, target a citizen, and receive a more comprehensive profile.
The other bonus is Admiral Valro, one of our epic characters. Epic cards have a 4% rarity in boosters, and epic characters are more rare than that, so having an additional Epic Character is certainly important.
Admiral Valro, as it happens, is a good tactical leader - something to use and exploit a lot during the EVAC rewards of later this month!
I was to share with you more information about our Elected Leader starter already; but that will have to wait for tomorrow! See you soon in EXODE!
