Greetings, eager pilots and unconcerned civilians! Welcome to the twelfth weekly eXode #oneup report! All week we've been receiving exciting transmissions from the commander about some features yet to come during Colonization! There was intel dropped pertaining to planet seasons, ship modules and their components, and... Factions! New update just went live! Let's dive right in!

My Strongest Faction?

Although I have found 100% of the cards in the Flesh Cult, Rebel, Achean Gangs (which is only 1 card so far), and Tom Settler Contract factions, Civilian Faction has the highest power due to all the elite rares.

These are the runner-ups. I'm loving these banners.

I have decided that when the time comes to choose our main faction, I will ultimately go for:

Ahhh... Science. Call them nerds, eggheads, geniuses, freaks, but Earth's scientists managed to design great ships. Hero ships. Ark ships that carried away the last hope for humanity into the vast unknown.

Maybe later we'll switch to a different type of science and redesign ourselves.

Ships

Ships are made of modules, such as the cockpit. Modules are made of parts, such as cables. In order to fix our grounded starship and eventually escape the planet, we'll have to rebuild and replace the damaged modules.

As you can see, all the Construction Chain stands for is the module crafting recipe. Two C's = Cables x2, and so on. A lower case letter like c would represent the same part but a much higher tech and higher quality version, in this case being Hyperconnectors. Each part will then be designed and produced out of the planet's local resources and biomaterials. Players will have the option to to create the parts to fit into the Construction Chain slots or perhaps buy the part from another captain who may have designed their own native version and listed it on the Supply Market. The Supply Market will be an important part of eXode's #play2earn mechanics. Following the Information Reveal Roadmap, we should get more information on how all this will work towards the end of the month when there will be 3 separate articles about Research and Design, Exploitation and Production, and Colony Market / unlocking a trading license. So far, the boss's articles have been coming out on time, every 2 days. Which means tomorrow we're due for another one regarding "Stealth! Or lack of!"

In Other News...

I acquired my very first elite epic card! I paid a pretty penny for it but I think it was a good deal. The "Coetus" Class Science Vessel with Synergy in Science (+1). I cannot wait to take this one out for a test drive. It will be a grab-bag party bus of Flesh Cultists, Geneticians, and regular Scientific types (and some mechanics, too). They will all be rubbing elbows and come up with the best idea for a [REDACTED]!

I accidentally opened one of my booster packs that I had in reserve when I tried to open some soulbound boosters. There was nothing substantial inside, and now I'm left with an odd number unfortunately. It almost made me want to open a few more... But I will not! I will wait for the WAX sale and continue to work to generate more funds over there. Then I will try my hand at pulling some elite legendaries. I need at least one. Is that so much to ask for?

"This Just In!"

Literally coming in hot from planet Coune! Unbearable heat! Present all the time! Few sectors only. If you're in the galactic vicinity or headed this way, please bring something with high Atmospheric Shielding! End communication.

What is eXode?

eXode is a real-time strategy space colonization game here on the Hive Blockchain. If you still have not purchased your starter pack, use this referral code (de7ed45) and you'll also receive 2 free Alpha Booster Packs with 5 NFT cards each along with a free Epic Alpha Character!

In the future, these lab reports will contain much more substance (and numbers!) including season objective rewards, legacy rewards (when your game...ends), and of course 🍉 [MELN] activities.
🍉 [MELN] is the alliance I co-founded, the Market Expansion Leaders Navy. Our leader, @birdbeaksd, is also the host of eXode's only weekly giveaway. Check that out for a chance to win a Battle Trained Socialite.
For a in-depth guide for anything and everything eXode-related, you can take a look at this post.

What is The 1UP Cartel?

The 1UP-Cartel is a mix between a gaming guild like YGG (that invests into gaming assets and creates scholarships for gamers, sharing the gaming revenue), a dividend token (similar to BRO, LBI, INDEX and UTOPIS, paying out regular dividends to token holders from part of the revenue stream) as well as one of the most extensive curation service initiative on the Hive-Engine ecosystem thus far.

Hope that expensive ship serves you well!

Interesting... Great ship, grats! 😎

Nice recap of the ship details presented earlier by Elendos.
The details about the ship construction and modularity is kind of a relief as if it was considered one big chunk, it would be hard to say what you are focusing on during repair. With modules it might be possible to upgrade those modules and make the ship better than initial design.

My faction power is not like some of the card holders that have been around since the beginning. I sit about 10-14% of those with the biggest faction scores. Which is about right, as noobs should not be able to come in and have large influence on factions.

The cards in your total collection having influence into individual games is a cool way to add value to the collection as a whole. This is for sure something I have not seen in any other game. Another original !!

I never thought that we could in fact make our ships even better than they were originally! Imagine a refurbished Orwell 1 instead of one with "Old Technology". Sadly, I think the old tech must still be replaced with old tech though. Maybe what you're talking about will be possible with the Claymore Hyperfighter, with its "upgradeable modules".

But if I discover a better material to make a cable better. Like less loss over the span, more power per mm squared. This might improve the over all performance of the ship.

We shall see in a matter of time!
