Cloud Pirates' Second Closed Beta Begins November 23rd

Cloud Pirates' second Closed Beta test will begin on November 23rd. The test will bring with it twelve new ships and a system of progression that will allow players to unlock more captain abilities as they level up by playing matches.

The announcement also detailed the game's twelve ship classes. They are as follows.

  • Torpedo clippers: Swift ships packing one hell of a punch.

  • clippers: Small, agile ships that provide heals and buffs.

  • Engineering frigates: A not so small and fragile ship, able to deploy defensive and offensive drones.

  • Sniper galleons: Dishes out damage from afar, with powerful escape abilities just in case.

  • Reinforced galleons: Sporting an array of buffs and debuffs, it’s at home in the heart of the battle.

  • Defensive galleons: Capable of trading punches, all while buffing their allies, these ships are the backbone of any fleet.

  • corvettes: Ships fully dedicated to boosting and healing allies.

  • Stealth corvettes: For every captain adept at sneaking behind enemy lines and destroying defenseless ships.

  • Minelayer corvettes: Torpedo corvettes fitted with point blank area of effect abilities.

  • Assault cruisers: Dishing out damage up close and personal, with a strong hull & shield.

  • Interceptor cruisers: Vampire ships weakening its target to buff itself.

  • Battleships: The paramount of ship customization, battleships can be fitted with various type of weapons and abilities, allowing you to get creative and surprise your opponents.

I rather enjoyed my time playing the game during the first Closed Beta test. It is an enjoyable take on the kind of gameplay found in games like Allods Online.

You can sign up for Cloud Pirates' Closed Beta on the official website. Those of you that took part in the first Closed Beta test will automatically receive access to the second test.
