Uprising

'NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS ENDED AS OF 3RD FEBRUARY. VEGA PROSPECTOR FLEETS ARE NO LONGER LAUNCHED AND DATA CORES ARE NO LONGER OBTAINABLE.'

Event Overview
"The Uprising has begun."

- CM Skeedorr  A mysterious voice promises stolen VEGA technology in exchange for data cores.

Event Description
Uprising is the 1st ever event to be run in VEGA Conflict. It featured new technology that was never ever seen before, as well as a chance at one of the VEGA Hulls, the Dread Battleship.

Event Information

 * Data Cores are not spent on prizes, but unlock prizes at each threshold. To get all three prizes, you need 1 million Data Cores.
 * The event shop will be open until Thursday, February 6 at 3pm PST. Any data cores not traded in for a prize or resources will be lost.
 * When attacking VEGA Prospector fleets, you will receive a set number of data cores. The higher the level of the VEGA fleet, the more data cores you win. Damage dealt is proportional to the amount of data cores you get. If you deal 50% damage, you will receive 50% of the data cores available.
 * Data cores are given immediately following an attack (they won't float around for someone else to pick up). You can view your data cores in the top center of the screen along with a countdown timer.
 * VEGA Prospectors fleets are level 27+. Use your skill to defeat them!
 * Data Cores can be converted to resources by the player after the event is over, but only if you’ve already claimed a prize or don’t have enough Data Cores to claim a prize. Any Data Cores not converted by the player before the shop closes on February 6 will be forfeited. One data core = one resource.
 * Relocation is disabled during the event and repair times for fleets are not changed.
 * Data cores will only be earned while the event is occurring. A battle started while the event is happening that ends after the event is over will not reward data cores.
