[DevelopersNotes] Ship Tier Up & the Return of Alliance Aid Gift!
06-14-23

Hello Captains!
We have some exciting news including various improvements to existing features, and the return of the fan favorite Alliance Aid Gifts!
We want to express our sincerest gratitude for the unyielding patience our Captains have afforded us as we took the time needed to revamp the Alliance Aid Gift feature.
That said… we are very happy to announce the official return of the Alliance Aid Gifts!
We have carefully mulled over the feedback from all corners of the world, and we thank you all for taking the time to share that feedback with us.
The Alliance Aid Gifts feature will now function by taking the direct contributions of each participating Alliance Member into account, earning accumulated points that are distributed for the Alliance activities they take part in. As Captains reach milestones by accumulating a certain number of points, all members of the Alliance will then be eligible to receive the subsequent rewards!
The following are the applicable Alliance activities in which points can be accumulated!
※ Season will reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC.
IMPROVEMENTS
■ Alliance: Assault Defense
Improvements to existing features and rules of the Alliance: Assault Defense will be applied for a smoother gameplay experience!
1. Simplified Support UI for Alliance Members
Captains who are targeted by the EITC Fleet will have an icon displayed above their Fortress for easier identification!
2. Scoring System
Failed Defense efforts against the EITC Fleet will still be eligible for points if contributions are made by way of Supporting other members to defend against those attacks!
3. Wave Display
Departure time of the Scout Ships will be adjusted to align with the start of each Wave!
The Ranking display in the Contribution Status will be fixed and the Guidebook will be updated.
■ Ship Tier Up
To simplify advancing through successive Ship Tier Up attempts, a function to proceed with multiple Tier Ups will be implemented.
- The Shipyard’s [Premium Ship Tier Up Ticket] menu option will change to [Premium Ship Upgrade]
For example, when tiering up the Tier XII [Man of War] Ship to the Tier 15 [Eye of the Storm] Ship:
- Before: Separate Premium Ship Tier Up Tickets were required to proceed to the Mammoth Galleon, Neptune's Glory, and the Eye of the Storm, to be used sequentially
- After: Utilization of the Premium Ship Upgrade feature to perform immediate Ship Tier Up attempts from Tier 12 to Tier 15
※ The Premium Ship Blueprints required to reach the desired Ship Tier will remain the same and the required number of Premium Ship Blueprints for each Ship Tier Up attempt will be combined.
※ Existing Premium Ship Tier Up Tickets can still be used after the update.
Please stay tuned for more details!
Thank you Captains.
