Welcome to the next Mayday Friday, where we talk about the community, the nicest players, the competitive players, and where you can get the latest information on Alliance mode. First up let me introduce our next event!
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
The skies of Icarus have always held a great multitude of strange beasts from Ducks to Spacemen, from Gentleman to those that ride storms, and every other conceivable creature you could think of.

There is none more elusive than the Novice. A creature rarely seen for an extended period of time either running from experienced ships or learning to blend in with their crews. A recent storm has pushed many into our skies though and National Discovery wants pictures of them, we want them tracked, and we want to see their habits in action.  We will pay handsomely for these photo shots that we will screen (screenshots if you will.)

So professional and amatuer photographers gets ready to spot, track, and send in a bunch of pictures of this shy and sometimes violent beast.

Hi everyone,

Today the game is three years old!  Looking back, it’s hard to believe we made it this far.  3 years ago, when we launched the game during Hurricane Sandy, we weren’t even sure if we could make a few weeks.  To have you guys support us and help us get this far, we can’t tell you how grateful we are.   (more…)

Now available in 3v3!

Hey Everyone,

The dev app is now testing the next skirmish patch 1.4.4.  Join us on Saturday at 1 pm eastern as we make sure we didn’t break anything and get to see the new content first.

For those that have access to Alliance, you’ll also find a lot of minor changes based on feedback and one major one.  There will now be less, but tougher enemies. We definitely want players to try it out and let us know what they think.

We’ll see everyone in the skies and on the stream today at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus
