This update adds the new "Conquest" battle rule, the new "Live-Fire Training" mode, a new "Quarry" map, and new units like the GM Custom and Acguy.
Existing systems and balance have also been tweaked, and bugs have been fixed. Check out the patch notes to see what's new.

Also, starting at 2:00 on the 5th, the game will celebrate 100 days since release! All current players will received three units of energy. They're gone October 11th, so don't miss them!


■ High points of the patch!

＜New rule: "Conquest"＞

In Conquest, two teams compete to reduce the other side's "War Potential Gauge" to 0, or have the highest gauge when time runs out.
Capture objectives and hold them to drain the enemy's potential. The more you capture, the faster they weaken.
Objective locations are different from under the standard rules, and the mode also introduces buildings that shield those inside from attacks.
While the gauge also decreases when mobile suits and pilots are lost, it's not as effective a tactic as holding territory, and bases are completely indestructable. This is a mode of battle over objectives.


＜New mode: "Live-Fire Training"＞

"Live-Fire Training" allows new players to get the hang of their controls with no worries.
Only available to Privates, it does not consume energy. It can be played with fewer players; 1v1 and 2v2 varians are available.
The rules are mostly the same as standard games, but rewards are reduced, there is no bonus for repeat play, and play is not included in your deployment count.


＜New map: "Quarry"＞

The new map "Quarry" can be played with standard rules.


＜Four new units added＞

The Federation gains the GM Sniper II and GM Command, while Zeon gets the Acguy and MS-14G Gelgoog.


＜"Lucky! Haro" appears＞

When the Lucky! Haro appears after battle, you're guaranteed a two- or three-star drop, along with bonuses to Exp and Development Points.
Haro vists each player on his own whim, with no regards for wins or losses; he seems to like hosts, but recent ragequitters will incur bouncing green wrath.
