One or Two Months

That was the quote from SDEnternet's development team in this forum post about when harbour assault mode will be tested.

This is fantastic news as many will be eager to get involved with this test. Super hyper buzzing right now!

Coming back to reality, the dev team also revealed that the planning period has finished and they are well under way with the actual development of their plan.

They teased by saying that the first test will be a couple months away. Even more interestingly they revealed that the harbour assaults will be on a "grander scale" than in nf1 previously.

The harbour assaults were a 5x5 grid fashion. Win a battle room to win a grid, work your way to the harbour tile, win the battle and then capture the harbour.

It is anyones guess exactly what they mean by a "grander scale". It could be that more than one fleet is involved. Or maybe there is a new world map and/or grid layout that offers new routes and challenges to get to the harbours.

Also what about rewards? If the same holds true from nf1, obtaining a harbour means you get free repairs on ships of that nation and access to producing unique ships.

Hopefully there will be a few more surprises in store for the rewards you get when owning a harbour.

The final note was that screenshots will be coming soon so that we all get a taster of what the new mode and interface will look like in readiness for the live server test.

Exciting times? Yes. We can't wait!
