Shields-Up Looking for Beta Testers

Shields-Up adds new featuers as it trys to attract more beta testers.

Over the last few months Shields-Up has had some fairly major additions bolted on to the game. It now has a fully fledged Guild based system in game. Form or join a Guild and reap the benefits of being a Guild member from Guild Mail, Bank, Stores and even a Guild Forum.

Guilds also benefit as the Guild rises in rank, so the joint effort of its members brings rewards over time to the entire Guild.

Also added in the last months was RAID Targets. These are large floating Pirate Base stations that are marauding their way across the systems. They need players to gather together to attack as they are far too large and well armed for a single Captain to take on.

Faction standing has now been added, you can see you’re rank and standing with the factions in game. Rise in rank and obtain new titles.

Commercial and Industrial Extractors have been added so that those that wish to become full time resource collectors can do so on a commercial scale.

Mining Drones have been added to allow for the commercial collection of raw ore. Saving you the time and effort of mining ore by hand.

Player Malls were added so players can own their own Mall and sell items collected or crafted in Factories. Creating a stable income for players with the right infrastructure in place to support a Mall or two.

The Game is now up to 335 in game items to fit to your ship and use within the SU Galaxy. There are over 170 schematics for the crafting of in game items and currently over 70 in game missions from NPC’s.

Shields-Up recently added new ‘Player Ships’, this brings the Total to 16 ships to choose from (credits and level permitting) but adding a massive amount of scope to the game.

You can simply play the game for fun half an hour a day and still make a good living in your chosen career. Or take your time and master one of the many career styles in the SU Galaxy. Miner, resource collector, crafter, combat, trader, hauler, passenger mover the choice is yours.

There is no hard and fast way to make a living in SU, but you won’t be forced down a path the choice is yours.

Move Cargo and Passengers for the larger corporations and save up for that new Gun or Shield or perhaps a larger ship?
