Interface Update and New Weapons

You may have already noted a change to the main interface this week.  The News Screen no longer pops up automatically when you enter a new area.  Instead, a new News button has been added just under the Options button on your main screen so that now you may read the News whenever you like! Except during battle.  You can read the news during battle, but we don't recommend it.  It's rumored that the Gremlins like that sort of thing.  

We'll be looking at more bugfixing in the next few weeks and doing a lot of major planning as well. There is a 4th of July mecha coming - updated artwork of an ancient model along with new animations and of course new specials!  And that's just one of many things happening behind the scenes.

Here's Plasma Charge from the forums, with the weapons news!

This week there are two HOT! new back arm weapons being released in Soluna!
The first of these - the Phoenix Spear - has been specially commissioned by the Traveler for Star Captains who have helped him and Maria 5 so far!
This new weapon combos perfectly with the rest of the set, by not only having a chance for HP and EP DoTs, but also supporting the other weapons by giving them increased chance to hit!
Meanwhile, Tek's Mechs is also receiving a new shipment of back arms:  the new OverHeat model inspired by GASKAL!
Created for intermediate level pilots, this weapon has it all: increased damage, a powerful DoT - and against equippable enemies it has a chance to increase  the cooldowns of the enemy's arms and shoulders.
So there you have it - a blazing new addition to the Phoenix series and a piping hot new weapon with the possibility to change PvP as we know it!

Thanks - that was a fantastic writeup, Plasma Charge! 

And thanks to all of you - have a great weekend!  Thanks so much for playing and for your support - and please tell all your friends about MechQuest!
