Slitherine has announced the released date for the next DLC pack for Battlestar Galactica Deadlock.
Ghost Fleet Offensive features a new 10-mission campaign that follows the daring operation that formed the basis of the TV prequel, Blood and Chrome. The DLC pack will also feature three new ships and two new Cylon munitions.
The DLC launch will coincide with the free Fleet Admiral Update, which will add the Fleet Admiral difficulty setting, tweaks to the officer system, and various quality of life enhancements.
You can find a rundown of the new content (via Steam) below:
The people of the Twelve Colonies believe that Colonial forces are keeping the Cylon threat in check. In reality, the Ministry of Defense loses ground every day. Under Atropos’ command, Cylon attacks have become precise and terrifying. Perfectly timed ambushes designed to cripple communications and logistics. Efficient and methodical.
Commander Nash and the crew of the Galactica have to keep up the pretense of the good fight, never revealing how close the people back home are to the knife’s edge. Meanwhile, Admiral Sarkis has one last plan that could finally bring this war to an end, or doom them all. It is time to activate the Ghost Fleet Offensive.
New Campaign
Ghost Fleet Offensive is a brand new 10-mission story campaign. Relive the infamous Ghost Fleet Offensive, strike behind enemy lines and turn the tide of the war for the Twelve Colonies.
New ships
Colonial Orion – Recon Frigate
A light frigate equipped with an experimental suite of ECM jamming and stealth technologies. Able to protect itself from hostile DRADIS sensors, the Orion can lay in wait, maneuver for the perfect torpedo angle, and then speed away while its stealth battery recharges.
Colonial Defender – Support Specialist
A support ship of Gemenese origin, the Defender is a mobile marine detachment platform. The Raptors from the Defender can both bolster the marine defense of friendly ships that have been boarded, and provide technical support to boost the strength of ally subsystems. Based on the ship design and used with permission of Todd Boyce.
Cylon Medusa – Central Command
A technologically advanced command ship lined with point defence cannons, and capable of overclocking the subsystems of multiple ships with its advanced transmission arrays. The Medusa pushes the capabilities of Cylon technology to its very limits.
New Cylon Munitions
Cylon Cluster Nukes – A devastating multi-missile system capable of striking six individual targets with high yield nuclear warheads.
Cylon Virus Mines – A short-range ECM field generator that both hacks the subsystems of hostile ships, and compromises enemy squadrons.
Ghost Fleet Offensive will be accompanied by a new free update, called the Fleet Admiral Update.
The Fleet Admiral Update contains a plethora of new features and improvements, including:
● Fleet Admiralty Difficulty – For the ultimate challenge against Cylon Command.
● Updated officer profiles – All new artwork for your flagship officers .
● UI enhancements – More QoL improvements to the UI, including additional
information tooltips, double-click to select all ships of the same type, more squadron
