Everything You Need To Know About The New Gear System — Imperium Empires

On October 26, Apollo Season 3 users in a game-changing feature in the Imperium Metaverse — the GEAR SYSTEM!

The gear system is the latest feature update to hit Imperium Empires Apollo that provides spaceship upgradability and customizability. Gears are collectables that can be equipped in the game to strengthen your spaceships. Gears would not be discarded at the end of season.

Gear and Gear Slot Introduction

Gear slots allow you to add gear to your ships. Gear and Gear slots vary in sizes and types. The number, type & size of each ship’s Gear slots are fixed.

Visit edit fleet page in Apollo and click on the gear slots to equip or unequip gears.

For the current patch, gears are effective only in Apollo. Support for gear modifications for Alpha PVP will only come in later patches. Please stay tuned for that announcement.

Gear and Gear Slot Type

There are 4 gear types in Imperium Empires — Weapon, Shield, Support and Mining.

• Weapon gears are offensive equipment. Items include Missiles, Bullets and Lasers that you can equip to your ships in order to increase & modify fire power.

• Shield gears allow you to protect your ships and neglect damage received.

• Support gears are components with different utilities, such as a Speed Booster that enhances the agility of your ships, the Pelicontainer that boosts cargo capacity and more.

• Mining gears enhance mining abilities. Spaceships with mining gears have much better mining abilities but the mining gears do not help in battles.

A gear has to be equipped in the correct gear slot (e.g. Weapons Gears and only be equipped in the Weapons Gear slots). However, there is a slot type named “Any” that allows you to fit in any type of gear you want.

Weapon

Utility in Apollo
Gear Power determines your successful rate in lurking and rewards from pirate events.

Equip a weapon gear with higher gear power to increase your lurking rate and ore rewards in pirate events.

Utility in future PvP:
There are three types of weapons in Imperium Empires — Missiles, Bullets and Lasers.

Equipping different weapons would change the fire power and attack method of your spaceships. Each weapon has different characteristics:

Shield

Utility in Apollo:
Gear Power determines your successful rate in lurking and rewards from pirate events.

Similar to weapon gear, equip a shield gear with higher gear power to decrease your chance of getting lurked by other players and increase ore rewards in pirate events.

Utility in future PvP:
Shields are energy barriers that neglect damage for your spaceships. The amount of neglectable damage depends on shield strength. When the shield breaks, it takes time to recharge. The recharge time (cooldown) and strength of different shield gears varies depending on their model.

Support — Speed Booster

Utility in Apollo:
Support gears provide different unique effects. Speed Booster increases the movement speed of your spaceships. Note that the traveling time between Zectors of your fleet depends on the ship with the slowest speed.

Utility in future PvP:
Speed Booster increases both the movement speed and turning rate of your spaceships. The agility boost allows players to chase down their opponents, escape from difficult battles and evade attacks.

Support — PeliContainer

Utility in Apollo:
PeliContainer increases the cargo capacity of your spaceships.

Utility in future PvP:
PeliContainer is only effective in Apollo.

Mining

Utility in Apollo:
Mining gears enhance ore rewards in a mining event. Mining gears are also divided into three types i.e. Iron, Xeto and Imperium. Mining gear effects only to the corresponding ores.

Utility in future PvP:
Mining gear is only effective in Apollo.

Gear and Gear Slot Size
Gear size ranges from I-III

Gear size I is used for ships with size 1–2.
Gear size II is used for ships with size 3.
Gear size III is used for ships with size 4.

Note that size 3 ships can ONLY equip size II gear, but not size I gear. For example, an Aurostar (Ship Size 3) can only equip Aurum Laser II (Gear Size II) , but cannot equip Aurum Laser I (Gear Size I).

Gears can be destroyed in Imperium Empires. As a measure to get players familiar with the new system and a discount for the first season, destruction of gears are currently disabled.
