Renegade Fleets is live!

Hey folks,


Last month, you had a whole Amplitude Free Week-end to play any of our games and unlock cool fleet skins for Endless Space 2. Today, these skins have arrived! Here's a quick look at the Renegade Fleets update.


Cravers "Prime"

The Cravers Prime are an offshoot of the hive closely tied to the Virtual Endless. Whether they are a threat or a boon to the nest, only time will tell...

(previously only accessible to early access players: now available to all!)


Sophon "Mavros" 
Though the Sophons are occasionally jealous of the swaggering, alpha-being image of the Mavros, in fact they believe that the Mavros are too erratic to do anything of value (i.e. serious research). However, every once in a while, the Sophons like to remind other civilizations that they are entirely capable of blowing up other people’s moons as well…

 


Unfallen "Firekeepers" 
The Firekeepers have the critical role of tending the brush fires that support the Unfallen life cycle. The fires both remove scrub to prepare the fields to receive a new generation of Firsts, but also melt the resin that covers and protects the incredibly hardy Unfallen seeds. These ceremonial hulls commemorate the dedication of this organization.

 


Vodyani "Heretic" 
When Isyander St. Shaiad decided to throw away his lifetime of beliefs in the Church of the Virtual Saints and become Isyander Shumèd, he changed more than just his name. He rebuilt his own Cloth and the armor of his ships in crimson and white, the colors that he believed were initially used on the Endless altars to the Lost. 

 


Lumeris "Buccaneer" 
A little piracy between friends was common before the relations between the Four Families became structured and formalized. While this hull cladding is a nod to those earlier times, there are also rumors that some fleets bearing these colors did not originate from Lancellum dockyards, but a rogue operation run by a shadowy figure known as Captain Roth.

 


Riftborn "Redshifted" 
Particles in zones inhabited by Riftborn are occasionally redshifted as a temporary adaptation to slow the local effects of corruption. This is an aftereffect of their time manipulation technologies, but has become an important tool in itself to offset some of the problems that their equipment—and ships—encounter in the Endless galaxy.

 


Horatio "Emerald" 

Horatio liked emerald green this weekend. That is all.



To celebrate the release of these skins, Endless Space 2 is discounted at 66% off, and the Vaulters expansion as well as Untold Tales & Lost Symphony content packs are 50% off for the next 48 hours. Now's a great time to complete your collection, or gift them to a friend!

These look fantastic! Can't wait to cruise the stars and spread the gift that is Horatio to the universe in that snazzy emerald! The Unfallen and Riftborn will be the next to try out.

The skins look Horatio! Particularly love the Unfallen and the Vodyani ones!

One of the joys of being Horatio is keeping explanations simple :) 

Ehhhh? Seems like the type to rattle on and on to me...

Looks good.
But I would like to see something more than retexture.
Cravers "Prime" and United Empire "Mezari" change not only textures, but partly models.
These retextures look scant compared to them.

Really love how they turned out, especially the Firekeepers. Makes them look quite a lot more intimidating.


Just two things:


1. Are the blue lens flares and cyan light bits intentional on the Mavros skin? Looks a bit off to me.

2. Unless they already have it and I'm not aware (still have to get your Vaulters and Supremacy packs!), any possibility the Hissho and Vaulters might also get alternate skins later on?
