Breaking News: BIG Update coming! Next Update to Test Will be...

[HammyTheSquirrel]

Ok... Ok... if it is only new ships... then what would make the Basic players happy? I think them mentioning that there will be lots for both UA and BA kinda shows that they must be doing customization. Especially with the armor thing at the end of the message. I suddenly go against my own post (the second one) o.O.....

Well from what I remember, the 6 ships that popped up on Test weren't blocked to Basic Access members - or so I thought.
But that's not to say it won't change.

And as for that armor thing, hmm... Sounds interesting. My guess is maybe you'll be able to buy hull panel upgrades? Whatever this armor thing is, I just want my 9 seperate War Frigate panels that break out in massive flames.

One question... how can it be possible to know...? You need UA to use Test anyway. Just food for thought. :P

EDIT: Now that Thunder mentions it... I can still get on Test while Basic... :O Maybe they only turn it to UA only when they release it officially? Whateva. :P

I see people running around on Test on rare occasions who are Basic Access. I had a friend who went basic access for a little bit and could still log on. I guess you need UA to gain access, but not to keep it?

Maybe they meant the scoundrel hat? Both basics and unlimited are happy... Or at least, in theory, they should be.
If ship customization does come out, I'm sure basics would get something too, kinda like weapons. Crude = basics, common-legendary = unlimited.

Well, in theory, you need unlimited to both sign up and keep the access.
Gotta love bugs though.

I can still get onto test when I'm basic. The person you saw was probably me.

I've seen more than one person.


Anyway, if the new ships are up next, then if any of them would have to be Basic Access only, I'd say the Kingfisher would be, because of her Chainshot broadsides and 1200 HP hull.

"What kind of armor do you want on your new ship? "On your new ship?" "Your new ship? "New. Ship." @_@

Can't wait for this! Hopefully they'll upload a preview video soon.

I went basic for about a week or two and didn't lose my Test access, so it's possible.
