Dragoons speed across the Archipelago this update. Dragoons are a new deployable vehicle you can mount and pilot independently of your ship. These flying bikes serve as a quick form of airman transportation ideal for short range scouting, ship transfer, or resource retrieval.
Dragoons have the potential to wildly impact player versus player combat so its important to know their limitations. If a pesky dragoon won't stop buzzing around your ship target deployables can be used to swat them out of the air. Dragoons cannot travel far from their home ship and will self destruct when passing this threshold (the left dial indicates this range). Once a dragoon is destroyed it cannot return but it can be repaired before its destroyed.
The first available dragoon class is the scout, a high speed dragoon with no fancy features. More classes will be added in future updates.
