An hour and a half ago, Rebecca and Megan showcased the Dev-Build of the Corpus Railjack. While it's ready, it will be released tomorrow morning. Here's what got showcased:

  • New Orbiter Skyboxes

Rebecca loaded into a new Earth skybox within her Orbiter. That can likely mean that these new Skyboxes are part of the Dojo Research for the Open Space room.

  • Zephyr Deluxe/Revisit

Releasing together with Update 29.10. Initially the Deluxe was planned to release with the Call of the Tempestarii (Update 30). There are two bundles: the Zephyr Harrier Collection (225 Plat) and the Operator Harrier Collection (190 Plat).

  • Plexus

Both Battle Mods and Tactical Mods do not cost Mod Capacity.

  • Command Intrinsics

Syndicate crewmembers in Ticker can be purchased with either Empyrean resources or Credits. As mentioned before, your alignment with the main Syndicate will give you a discount/tax on purchasing your crewmember. Crewmembers purchased with Credits will have up to 8 Competency Points (Skill Points). Those purchased with resources will have up to 10 CP's. 

Kuva Lichs are restricted solely to defending your Railjack. They have nearly 5 times the amount of average health your Crewmembers have (Rebecca's had up to 15k Health). 

Crewmembers can be customized, from appearance (Attachments and Syandana included), to even giving your weapon to them for combat. Kuva Lichs on launch cannot be customized.

Rank 9 Command Intrinsics allows you deploy a crewmember anywhere even outside of Railjack, similar to a Specter.

Crewmembers have up to four commands: Piloting, Gunner, Forging, or Defending.

  • Proximas, then Venus Proxima

So far, Earth Proxima's total node count have been reduced. It's expected that the Saturn Proxima will also have its node count decreased. As noted in the Workshop, at least half of the Veil Proxima's nodes will be retroactively be converted under the Corpus's control.

Venus Proxima will have the "Taro" Corpus. Fighter craft so far is seen as the Aquila, which fires a hitscan laser up close.

The Taro Crewship is more vertical in traversal than a Gokstad Crewship. A console at the top of either two security hatchs, which can be shot open, must be hacked to expose the Taro Crewship's Reactor. The Taro Crewship is noted to have twin rapid-fire plasma cannons along with built- in abilities.

  • Volatile

A mix of Survival and Disruption. There is a temperature gauge that must be kept within a certain range. Slow the temperature gain by destroying marked Unstable Pipes. Corpus Engineers will attempt to reset the Reactor's Temperature Gauge should they hack the Reactor Console.

Once Cy finishes with the Reactor, you must return manually to the Railjack. Cy will point you to destroy the capital ship via the Forward Artillery. 

  • Optional Objectives

The "loot dungeons" can be looted optionally for additional resources. There, it houses the new Sentinel along with vaulted Relics of Valkyr Prime Access and Nyx Prime Access. The new Corpus can drop new Armament Wreckages.

There is a "security credential" theft, where players are advised but not required to board and steal security credentials from a Corpus Crewman. Finishing this will make the main objective easier, but in what way will depend.

EDIT1: The Carmine Penta (China-exclusive of the Penta), Athodai, and Ignis Wraith parts can drop in the loot dungeons.

EDIT 2:  You can now forge Energy for your Warframe and Hull Repair material to heal your Railjack's Hull.

EDIT 3: In the Volatile gamemode, should the temperature gauge falls out of the threshold area, there will be a 10 second countdown. Whether this means a mission fail or the progress of the Reactor will reset.

EDIT 4: Indeed, new Corpus enemies. From a man-sized Raknoid with colors of Exploiter to even a Corpus Crewman armed with the equivalent of a Corpus Minigun.

If there's anything I've missed, be sure to add them in the comments below so I can edit the post.

- Melee slowdown and gun buffs won't happen tomorrow other than stances no longer staggering enemies.

- AI command piloting was neat.

- Syndicate crewmates from rival factions don't fight. They can be killed if not revived in the mission, but not permanently. They'll be available again once you return to the dry dock. 

- Athodai, Carmine Penta, and Ignis Wraith returning permanently. 

- Main game integration includes transitioning into a standard exterminate mission once inside a Corpus mothership, with Cy handing over mission control to Lotus.

- There are Raknoids in Corpus ships.

- This finally looks like Tennocon 2018.

And the Railjack becoming Invulnerable.

Does anyone know if Skirmishes are completely gone? While the half Railjack/half normal Warframe missions are cool, I still want a few mostly Space Combat missions.

Since Gian Point is going away. That is probably a yes.

Bit of a shame that Liches are going to be uncustomizable, the other crew options look cooler in pretty much every way.

And huge shame that they're plowing right along with the connected energy economy. It's such a poor idea and it looks like it's gonna be even worse in practice.

Edit: Oh, and Volatile is another Mobile Defense! 🙃

No? If you stay in the same place too long you learn your environment better than the casual tourist.

There are also players who think that they are skilled players because they have accumulated many hours in the game. 😂

Some musings

  • NPC crew AI seem decent. How about me on my AW painting a target for the crew to hit with FA or concentrd turret fire?
  • if I understood CI rank 9 correctly, a Lich can be deployed in any RJ tileset. Still not enough but a small win nevertheless, at least let us teach them some celebratory dance?
  • Awesome to see humanoid crew running around draped in syandanas and attachments. I just hope they also had several body types, height and even age differences. I want to remake Gatchaman as my crew 😆😆😆
  • new modes are welcome but I like to see more RJ space missions like the skirmishes we have. Probably some variants like escort, defense, escape, mining under fire to mix things up

 

 

 

So.... if DE is confident tomorrow is the day then...
