BLUE SHIFT Briefing

Feature Event: BLUE SHIFT

WHAT’S NEW?

NEW UNIT: The Super Hornet is a fast, versatile fighter jet with multiple loadout options. It can function as a bomber, an anti-air dogfighter, or a targeted attack plane – the choice is yours.

EVENT OBJECTIVES. Place high on the leaderboard for a bonus resource prize, or claim enough Super Hornet blueprints with your alliance to get one of the Super Hornet equipment blueprints for free!

What’s left behind. Commander, the Four Horsemen have decided it’s time to grant those who have proven themselves useful access to their private reserve. Rumour has it that their vault includes updated blueprints to the infamous Super Hornet. The stockpile of jets they have access to is unbelievable, we should start deploying them over Vajra airspace immediately.

Blue Shift begins Thursday, May 14th @ 9:00 AM PDT. Good Luck!

ALLIANCE OBJECTIVE NOTES:

In order to qualify for the prize(s) you must be in the same Alliance for the entire event; this means joining the Alliance prior to the event starting at 9 AM PT on Thursday and not leaving until Prize Redemption ends the following Tuesday at 9 AM PT
If you leave your Alliance for any reason while the event is still active, even if you join again right away, your claim will not count and you will not be eligible for any prizes your Alliance may earn.
Blueprints claimed via an offer will still count toward your Alliance’s total
Even if a player does not claim the Super Hornet Blueprint during the event, they will still qualify for the prizes their alliance earns provided they stayed in the Alliance for the duration of the event
