What is the SS Revenant?

The SS Revenant is an Epic G4 Interceptor designed for players of Operations (and Shipyard) level 42+. It will have 15 different tiers and 3 evolutions, happening once every 5 tiers. For the first time ever, Commanders will be able to see the visuals of their ship change via refits after each evolution!


The SS Revenant excels against Hostiles and Armadas located in Continuum Space, which includes systems like Amargosa (38), Nova Kron (42), Osbor (50), Corialis (60), Manmoor (70), and more.

Specialization:

  • Best-in-class for sourcing G4/G5 and G6 materials (Gas, Ore, Crystal) and resources (Parsteel, Tritanium, Dilithium, Sigma variants).

  • Superior performance against Continuum System hostiles and armadas.

  • Enhances Chaos Tech sourcing and unlocks Cost Efficiency buffs through research.

What makes the Revenant unique?

The SS Revenant introduces a progressive gameplay loop that ensures long-term value and continuous evolution. It offers unmatched benefits such as speeding up resource acquisition, boosting performance in its loop Solo and Group Armadas, and granting cost-efficiency bonuses as you progress.

How does the gameplay loop work?

Primary Gameplay Loop:

  1. Battle Armadas:

    • Engage in Solo Armadas twice daily or Group Armadas weekly to earn valuable Refinery and Research currency. More details about both types of Armadas below:

Single Slot Solo Armadas - Borg Type 03:

  • Collect Borg Type 03 Directives in the Continuum Refinery

  • Destroy Slot Solo Armadas (Borg Type 03 variants) to acquire Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Credits

  • Exchange Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Credits for Borg Type 03 loot

Borg Type 03 Loot will provide you with SS Revenant Ship Parts, Nexus Particles, Fabricator Chips, and large amounts of Resources (Parsteel, Tritanium, Dilithium, Speed-Ups, Common Materials). Nexus Particles can be used to acquire new Research Nodes in the Starships Research Tree and Fabricator Chips can be exchanged for large quantities of guaranteed Uncommon and Rare Refined Materials, with a chance of Epic Refined Materials

Group Armadas - Borg Polygon:

  • Collect Borg Polygon Directives in the Continuum Refinery

  • Destroy Group Armadas (Borg Polygon variants) to acquire Borg Polygon Group Armada Credits

  • Exchange Borg Polygon Group Armada Credits for Borg Polygon loot

Existing Continuum Hostiles - Assimilated Coryn-class, Frohmun-class, and Prohibitor-class:

  • The SS Revenant drastically increases the damage against these hostile as well as quantities of Chaos Modules you receive by destroying hostiles in Continuum space.

  1. Refinery Exchange:

    • Use your earned currency to exchange for Mats, Resources, and Ship Parts and Chaos Tech Materials in the Continuum Refinery.

  2. Evolve the Ship:

    • Once you've reached max level of an Evolution Tier, scrap the Revenant to receive a Refit that significantly boosts rewards and upgrades its performance against stronger Solo Armadas.

  3. Repeat the Process:

    • The Revenant evolves through three stages of progression, with each stage unlocking greater capabilities.

Side Loop 1: Chaos Tech Sourcing

  1. Defeat Q Continuum hostiles to earn Refinery currency (Chaos Modules)

  2. Use this currency to unlock Chaos Tech bundles and progression currencies.

  3. Enhance your ship’s performance with Chaos Tech upgrades.

 

What do you gain from scrapping the Revenant?

When you scrap the SS Revenant at each milestone tier, you receive a Refit that evolves the ship, enabling it to:

  • Perform better against stronger Solo Armadas.

  • Unlock additional progression benefits.

  • Continue delivering top-tier efficiency as you progress through its three evolution stages.
