Dear Explorers—greetings!
The development of the Lagrange Network's ship technology has a long history of profound technological advancement in terms of materials science, weapon science, remote sensing technology, and other fields. In order to better reflect the comprehensive and detailed technical design of the Lagrange universe, and also to provide richer gameplay strategy, we are attempting to upgrade the current weapon adjustment gameplay by introducing diverse ship technology enhancements and by enriching their colocation strategies while emphasizing ship characteristics. In addition, by endowing weapon technology with new functions, we aim to revitalized the current gameplay system.
In this preview, we will focus on introducing the details and new experiences you can expect to experience after the adjustment function update.
Star System Limited Techs: Enriching the Battlefield Environment
The universe is as infinitely strategic and it is infinitely vast, and the diverse star system environments in the game serve as chess boards for all intrepid Explorers to harness their tactics. In order to adapt to different development goals and the diverse conditions of star systems, we have launched a series of carefully crafted star system limited techs. These technologies can be exchanged via weapon techs and can be used on ships of specific levels or models, providing significant enhancements in various aspects, such as fleet formation, weapon performance, and tactical stats, to inject more strategic depth into ship configuration and tactical positioning.
For example, in the Node Recovery Agreement, Explorers can obtain a formation cooperation technology that can change the positions of ships in battle. In the Trojite Crystal Collection Agreement, Explorers can obtain a command cooperation technology that reduces the Command Points of Cruisers. In the Data Rescue Agreement, Explorers can obtain a special protective structure technology, which can significantly improve the HP of Super Capital Ships, but that also increases their manufacturing costs.
In addition to technologies that can be widely applied to various ships, specific models of ships will also receive exclusive technology enhancements in different star systems, which will improve the combat performance of ships based on where they're fighting. Explorers will also have the opportunity to experience other exciting new technologies depending on signed Identity agreements.
As for what changes these innovative technologies will bring to the universe, that awaits for you to discover with your fellow Explorers.
Obtaining Star System Limited Techs (Images are for display purposes only and do not represent the final quality of the game.)
New System Enhancements: Deeper Ship Specialization
Ship systems have different characteristics and potential uses. Explorers can invest in required weapon techs, and through adjustment, various enhancements can be unlocked for ship systems, such as projectile improvement, power arrays, rapid weapon maintenance, complex support, and impact resistant structures, and more, opening the way for specialized improvements to system capabilities on multiple levels.
After adjustments are completed, blueprints will permanently acquire the corresponding enhancement effects, and these will not reset when returning to the Hub Star System. By gathering weapon techs through continuous star system exploration, you can build up a solid collection of blueprint techs.

Diversified Adjustment Effects: Customized Upgrade Paths
The gravitational, radiation, and thermal conditions of different star system pose challenges to specialized ship systems. The performance of each ship system needs to be adjusted after entering a new environment in order to achieve optimal performance.
After unlocking and adjusting a system, further investment in weapon techs can increase the maximum effectiveness of enhancements within the system, and unleash the system's adjustment potential. A blueprint's weapon system, aircraft system, UAV system, jamming system, integrated support system, and armor system all have the potential for adjustment.
Different ships have different advantages in terms of anti-air, survivability, support, and other aspects, and adjustment effects will also reflect these unique advantages. You can try different adjustment paths based on your understanding of your available ships in order to better leverage their advantages and potential.

Adjustment System Enhancements (Images are for display purposes only and do not represent the final quality of the game.)
Let's look at the Predator - Anti-Aircraft Cruiser, for instance. The adjustment effect before the update increased the damage per hit of weapons. After the update, you'll be able to undertake adjustment improvements spanning multiple aspects: AA Missile Systems can adjust the Anti-Aircraft Support enhancement to extend the duration of the Hit Rate increase effect after this strategy is launched. The Defensive Cannon System can adjust the Anti-Aircraft Radar enhancement, further improving the Hit Rate of weapons in a system against fighters and Corvettes. The Aircraft Loading System can adjust the Auxiliary Attack Radar Enhancement, further improving the Hit Rate of the fighters carried. The Armor System can adjust the Kernel Structure enhancement to further enhance the HP of your ship.
And with that, we come to the end of the current adjustment feature update preview. We will also be launching a Pilot Server registration event on September 25, where you can experience the adjustment feature update content for yourself. We welcome all Explorers to sign up and participate. We look forward to your valuable feedback and will continue striving to provide you with the best experience possible. Stay tuned!
