Go read it, it's worth it.

Daily Deals and Dark Reign 

New deals are coming in in the store, with a Vendetta skin. The new campaign is called Dark Reign, it lasts for a week starting on July 6th, next Wednesday, for 65+. The prizes for this TLC are flagship limiteds  for Apollo and Citadel hulls. With 5 different run throughs to earn all the prizes. More news and prizes will be coming on next week's release.

July Event 

There is a limited space preview running on the 8th for the July event. The new prizes is a defender hull named the Vanquisher. The raid is still apart of the Civil War series and is named Allegiance. The raid starts on the 14th and runs for 4 days. 

*NOTE*

You can only join into the preview if you play or started the game on Facebook. 

Mega Ships for Players 

The 6 weeks for owning the Gantry is soon to close, and with it players will be getting their Mega Hulls, no new news at this time. Kixeye also promised to allow players to speed up the building of their Gantry on July 5th.

Weekly Mission Prize Additions 

These prizes are certainly better than last month's prizes.

The Shards in Tier 5 will be taken out on July 20th, make sure to collect them if you can.

• Concussive Reciprocator - Forsaken depth charge technology, allowing for sustained damage at a fixed range.

A new Special, I'm guessing this affect the splash damage at the edge of it, as the damage cuts in half at the edge of the splash radius.

• Minigun Turret - A focused, short-to-mid range concussive turret. Limited.

This turret will sink so many ships without deflection or concussive defense. This will definitely replace any remaining Pyros and Basilisk turrets.

• Expanded Concussive Charge - A turret special that increases Concussive damage and splash.

Meant to go along with the Minigun or any Gargoyles you have left.

• Zynthonite Armor D3-S; D4-S; D5-S - Draconian stealth armor.

Finally continuing the line of stealth armors. In good time too as the next couple events are gonna be heavy sub needed. The D5-S would combine the armor of bulkhead and the stealth of DS, a great addition. Bulkheads on subs was a very popular choice during the Arena Tournaments, this could provide the high health and stealth needed for subs, especially if the next event targets have super sonar. 

VXP Weekend 

Another one is coming from the 22nd to the 25th. The target types haven't be confirmed, but should be similar to the last ones, without the 123 reaver target. 

Skirmish line Preview 

Preview server is coming online on the 21st to test changes on subs before the line is released. This should be changing the repair to 100% and maybe a style change to the timer. 

The Skirmish class has in it.... (and tier next to it)

Barracuda-1
Battlecruiser-1
Battlecruiser X-1
Battleship-1.75
Sawfish-1.75
Spectre-2
Interdictor-2.5
Stingray 2.5
Nighthawk-3
Tiger Shark-4

Yes there is more hulls than this, but I have taken out limited and researchable. The most likely hulls to be included within the line are highlighted. Kixeye has been stressing for subs lately, and having the preview to see the changes, the line is gonna be dedicated for submarines.

Overall thoughts 

July is just gonna be another month, some good things are coming, some bad things are coming. Like asking the player base to pay $20 for a skin.
