Patch version 2.7 is now live on the Public Test Server. The patch notes are the same from this week's Weekly Development activites, so I won't post the list here. However, here's a quick rundown:
- New vehicles: Fury, Aurora, Thunderer, Raider
- Redesigned AMS (Note: You now deploy from inside vehicle, like Ancient Tech vehicles)
- Empire Incentives
- Relative Population Listing
- Session Stats
- HUD vehicle turret indicator
- Tower SOIs show up at all zoom levels
You can view the entire list
on the official forums.
Also, the QA Department is holding a playtest right now on the test server. I missed the start by about 20 minutes, so, my bad. You can still join up and try it out for probably another hour or so. Here's the skinny:
