Royal Navy looking to accelerate Type 45 Destroyer repairs HMS Dauntless was the first and the Ministry of Defence is now looking to accelerate the project. The Ministry of Defence previously confirmed that all Type 45 Destroyers will have received upgrades to their power systems by the mid-2020s. It not only gives Dauntless a boost but could also power the technologies of tomorrow, such as energy weapons already under development for the Royal Navy in UK labs.” Ensuring previous issues have been addressed, a storeroom has also been converted into a high-voltage switchboard to deal with the extra power now generated – between four and five Megawatts. “To make the necessary upgrades, the two original diesel engines were removed and replaced with three more reliable, more powerful, cleaner generators. Known as PIP, the Power Improvement Project, addresses the resilience of the engines and power generation driving the many hi-tech sensors, systems and weapons on board the destroyer. “The team aboard say the trials have gone well, delivering a ship which is now faster, more reliable, greener and ready to embark future weapons.” The statement also adds that the trials have gone well:

“The Type 45 destroyer has undergone extensive trials around the UK throughout the summer, laying the foundations for her five sister ships as the entire class of Portsmouth-based air defence ships undergo the same upgrade.” We’re planning to start with five of these minor events and will put them into regular rotation.HMS Dauntless is back in Portsmouth after three months “testing her new engines to the limit”, say the Royal Navy. Kat’s Weapon Training event will give you double weapon XP and a repeatable Behemoth slaying quest to earn combat merits. Plus, you can complete the Bosun’s repeatable Escalation quest to earn more bounty tokens. Each of these minor events will be linked to a character in Ramsgate, offer bonus progression, and a temporary repeatable quest.įor example, during the Bosun’s Bounty event, you will get a bounty token whenever you spend one. We’ve also been working with our Partners and testers to cook up some other minor events, like the Bounty Bonus Weekends you may have seen before. Each event will bring back some of your favourite features from past iterations, as well as add new activities that will get you into the seasonal spirit! We’re busy planning Dark Harvest and Frostfall events for later this year. With the introduction of this new game mode, we intend to bring guilds to the forefront with a new challenge every season. So far, guilds haven’t had much use beyond helping you stay connected with your friends. This game mode is all about collaboration, so one way it will stand out from other game modes is its connection to guilds. You will have to work together and use resources in the environment to find your way through.

Slayers will return to a place – once thought to be lost for good – to face challenges of endless and increasing difficulty. After the first round of feedback from the community, we’re exploring some new ideas to make sure we can deliver a whole new way to play Dauntless that feels distinct, rewarding, and exciting. Our design team is hard at work laying the foundation and thinking through the experience we want to create. The next big feature we want to build together is a brand new game mode. We recently welcomed a few new friends, including our first-ever Japanese and French Partners! You can find all of our Dauntless Partners here. As the game grows and some Partners explore new avenues, we want to make sure there’s always a group of creators who are excited about engaging with and creating amazing content for our community. Since its inception, the Dauntless Partner Program has welcomed many talented content creators who love sharing their passion for Dauntless with the community. This year, we’re ramping up efforts on our Partner program. As we get closer to the final design, we’ll share some sneak peeks in another live stream.Īs we’ve stated in April’s State of Dauntless post – this year is all about building Dauntless together. Our next big in-game environment may be somewhat familiar to veteran Slayers, or the most perceptive lore seekers. The team is cooking up some exciting ideas for this brand new Behemoth type, but since we started this process together, let’s keep it going together! More details to come. Join us in the Dauntless Discord on September 13 to chat with our Behemoth team about Codename Crudge and how this Behemoth might behave in-game. Creating Codename Crudge together was so much fun, so we’re looking for more ways to bring you closer to our development process.
