Fair Weather Studios has announced that the latest update to Ancient Frontier will include the massive new Outrigger ship the Manticore class heavy cruiser as well as additional missions which will pit players against the Outrigger Alliance.
The latest update to Ancient Frontier will have players facing one of the most advanced and deadly ships on the Frontier, the Manticore. Constructed at a secret location by the Outriggers, the Manticore features modern weaponry and anti-fighter capabilities. This heavy cruiser is armed with deadly accurate long-range Coil Cannons that pack a punch and an imposing set of Shredder Cannons providing high damage for those short range encounters.
Accompanying the Manticore are four new missions available in the Alliance campaign. The optional missions will give Alliance players more options in the enemies they choose to face. The missions will send players across the far reaches of the Frontier, with missions taking place in Tarsis, Hadron and Cygnus. While risking their fleet against the Outriggers, players will also benefit from increased rewards in Tarsis, Arx, Hadron and Cygnus.
Players can check out the latest update and download Ancient Frontier on Steam.
