Haven't played since 2015. What's new?

[Dabomdigity 0]

As title states, I haven't played or even thought of this game for several years. I have no idea what the current state of the meta is or what all these new hulls/turrets are, can someone give a tl;dr of all the changes? That would help a lot.

Also, if anyone has any tips for returning players, please feel free to leave them. Thanks!

there are now:
- drones (new kind of equipment that changes the way supplies work)
- overdrives (hull-specific ability that has a recharge)
- status effects (emp, ap, jammer, stun)
- new turrets
- hovering hulls
- augments for turrets (changes the way the turret works)
- augments for hulls (protection against status effects)
- containers (loot boxes of different types: daily, weekly, ultra, skin container)

joining battles happens primarily through matchmaking, but there are still pro battles that are now free
paints no longer give protections, instead there are now protection modules

I suggest reading about some of these changes on the wiki so you'd know the more significant details

You get lucky and get a strong augment/alteration you win. You don't get it from the loot box? You lose no matter what. Also drugs are now basically free everyone is stacked as hell with them. Another things are just fancy extras that don't matter.

Also new upgrade system instead of M0-3 now its Mk1-7. Dont worry it's pointless. M1 guy with good alteration can wipe your M3 equipment away.

Daily missions are absolute waste of time.

Challenge is somewhat good.

Sales happen like every 2 weeks now instead of once a blue moon

GS points mean absolutely nothing because they stand for upgrades of your tanks and like i said its pointless unless you have a juicy augment.

You rank up way faster. But the rewards are nerfed to basically 1000 crystals for all ranks

If you see many flying hulls on enemy team just quit don't even bother you lost.

Every "Matchmaking" game is complete unbalanced chaos. 1 Team completely suqashes other team 90% of the time
