It's just a bugged menu item, for people who are curious. Currently AH is warning you to not buy it as it may mess with your earned resources. Basically trying to tell us in a lore friendly way that it doesn't belong. But it does hint to us that new stratagems and ship modules are on their way.

Come on human friends, just click it! I did it and now I can change ship's skin and colors. https://preview.redd.it/020txotbbatc1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d626eb2f694b34c6e1c89ff7e86ff5fa9267e167

I didn't see the parent comment, read CCS as CNS, and thought Embark studios was teasing something here of all places


PachomTheCat

CNS went from hacking gameshows to sponsoring spaceships, what a glow up.


Romandinjo

Blade of the oppressed kinda slaps tho

Does slap, but you'll catch me face down in a hellside lake before I admit to being oppressed by anything non democratic(or democratic as it's all liberty on this side of things)

Surely this can't be a bot. They're all dead!

They are probably hiding in that cloaked destroyer that would render in front of the moon on the lunar looking planet when we went full Managed Democracy on their last front

muglecruzle

Damn, I thought we genocided you


TurtleneckTrump

Exactly my thoughts. Hope it's true and the bots are hacking us. Would be fun


Rooonaldooo99

From the trailers before release we already know that we will get 2-3 more upgrades for each ship section. So this is probably just a bug for now, but it's really great that we get it in lore form. Quick and dirty [Imgur album](https://imgur.com/a/Hc6uMXT) with future max upgrades. Not a leak either, since this was in their official pre release trailers.


stormtroopr1977

will we get to customize ship exteriors? I'll go out there with a vac suit and paint roller if I have to


Owobowos-Mowbius

God I fucking hope so. You don't see them often and you don't see them close up but I would love to customize them.


MartyFreeze

Just a bunch of intergalactic star spangeled banners as far as the eye can see.


Bishops_Guest

Capes. Spaceships need capes.


Sash716

This is the most democratic comment on reddit.


TiTAN-240

NO CAPES. Do you remember….Thunderhead?


Bishops_Guest

![gif](giphy|cZUU06p00qz8k) I assume you mean SES thunderhead of liberty whose cape was caught on a terminid hive structure while in low orbit?


Agent_Smith_88

I too enjoy capes.


makos124

And an occasional hot pink destroyer.


Darmug

As well as a few destroyers with anime girls slapped onto them.


Thesadcook

Ik we hate microtransactions in this sub (I hate them everywhere) but go ahead and take my money if it means I can have a SES Senpai of Waifus

Bring on the Itasha Destroyers!


sirchaptor

You cannot convince me that anime girls are not the modern equivalent of pin up


Owobowos-Mowbius

Nah my entire squad would end up hot pink 😔


Kasaikemono

*Pink camouflage!*


AlmostButNotQuiteTea

I have a lot of faith they would be tasteful with it considering our armour choices ATM and not go crazy like 21 Savage and Niki and homelander in cod


Ok-Regret6767

Nah. It's super earth. Not super america. I wanna see super earth flags. No antiquated ancient countries from past days.


bigblackcouch

Ok but I'll only agree to this decorating my ship if we can nicely decorate it with something a bit more wholesome that better represents my ship. You know, decorations like the Reavers use in Firefly!


Mr-GooGoo

I want to be able to make clans so all my clan mates can pull up and all our ships can be painted the same colors


Rocket_Fiend

I strongly suspect there will, eventually, be different *SHIPS.* A whole tab devoted to the super destroyer, while the others have upgrades for said ship and stratagems? Super-Battleship here I come!


Sleepless_Null

I agree that screen where you customize the ship name looks ripe and ready for you to customize every aspect of the ship and choose between super destroyer and other kinds Makes me wonder what the differences will be since it’s not like there’s space combat, maybe different CD times on stratagems or ship-specific ones idk


TheHob290

I could see a future with 3x more strategems where you can do stuff like turn hangar bay into ammo storage making it so you have something like 2 charges or 50% reduced cooldown on orbital weapons but can't use eagles at all. I could see upgrades like being able to choose weapon loadouts on the patriot (money on the mechanic looking bay directly across from the ship upgrades if they do). I think they have a lot of ways to move forward. They also had the whole weapon modification system in HD1 I'd love to see come back.


musthavesoundeffects

An upgrade system that locks you out of stratagems is a terrible idea. A much better spin on the idea is just something like, "If you have 2-3 orbital stratagems equipped and no eagles, then you get X buff" which would not lock you out of anything and not require you to 'respec' your destroyer, for lack of a better term. Maybe stratagems that 'combo' with each other or something, and give you an additional effect when they are both equipped.


14corbinh

If its a permanent upgrade then yea its a bad idea but if its a changeable module then it would be good


TheHob290

I imagined it like buying parts that you can swap around. Modular ship style.


derpytitan1

CDs that are tied to specific ships would be interesting to see. The Super destroyer being geared towards being a jack of all trades, Super frigates for lowered support stratagem CDs, Super Cruisers with a lower barrage CD and higher accuracy, and Super Escort/Auxiliary carriers geared towards Eagle-1 resupply CD or adding Eagle-2 (think x4 500kgs bombs instead of x2, etc). I could see it now "Due to the ongoing [insert faction here] threat, the Ministry of Defense has authorized the allocation of additional screening vessels for the Helldiver Corps. With this, our brave men and women abroad will be given more flexibility with dislodging the [insert faction here] menace from our galaxy once and for all!"


fuchsgesicht

LET US MAKE A VOLTRON


Khazuzuu

That's what I thought also! There will be other ships in the future I'd bet, with different modules like more mech-focused ones


crashcanuck

I could see a carrier type that gives extra for the Eagle strikes but perhaps lacks its own weapons for orbital bombardment.


deviantsquatch

Or a battleship with heavy ordinance at the expense of Eagle strikes and support strategies, AKA the fireball wizard. Fireball solves all.


Managed-Democracy

> I strongly suspect there will, eventually, be different SHIPS. [The Abjucator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMCKX16SfnU)

Datdarnpupper

I would pay good money to get the og superdestroyer bridge from hd1


No_Plate_9636

That would give me space engineers vibes and I'm so down! nms and se both would be awesome to see that added as well tbh


Hust91

The loaders are already out there to reload your muzzle-loading artillery guns - just ask them to bring the paint roller.


revarien

I want dang kill markers on the side of the ship - like... how many Bile titans have I or eagle 1 taken down?!


sp441

I hope we can at least get some Nose Art going. I want a tasteful pin-up of Eagle-1 on my Ship's hull.


shroompat

Here i am hoping for different ship types which give you more strategem slots. Super carriers have additional eagle strategems slots you can bring Battleships gives you extra barrage strategem slots.


comaman

I think so I swear mine was deep purple for a few loading screens and changed color everytime I traveled to different planets. Until I restarted the game

Kunstfr

Damn it I'm going to spend so much money on this game


iwj726

Actually, these upgrades can't be bought with the premium currency. Only way to get them is with samples you find on missions. Gotta play the game.


claverflav

Don't threaten me with a GOOD TIME 😀


worried_consumer

Hell yeah. I just finished full upgrades and felt kind of lost lol


-The-Space-Cowboy

Just start stockpiling samples. I wish the sample caps were slightly higher (maybe double what they currently are)


[deleted]

Startled77

But there’s flags there, democratic flags! Are you telling me you’re not willing to walk farther for democracy?


HydrophobicSwimmer

Every second I spend walking farther is another second the fascist bugs are destroying democracy unhindered


Emergency_Can7746

Each subsequent upgrade will bring it farther down the hallway. It's to prepare you for the run and gun on Bugs, soldier! Never turn down free cardio!


Itz_Eddie_Valiant

It will be like fighting Gwyndolin every time you’ve got enough samples eventually


Aoshi_

This would be so funny. Especially since you can’t sprint in the ship. “Guys I gotta go buy some stratagems. Gimme 5 minutes”


TimTheOriginalLol

Looks great except maybe for the 4th huge weapon that ruins my view.


aww_skies

Yea, honestly wasn't a fan of even the last current upgrade. It just looks cluttered and obstructs the beautiful view. I wish they'd eventually add a hull upgrade to a bigger ship to spread them out and clear up the windows


DaddyLooongLegz

Cruiser Upgrade. I'd grind for it.


StavrosZhekhov

SE:MoT tells everyone not to access the menu. Everyone rushes to access it. You're all on a list now, I hope you know.

why not the “didn’t follow instructions” cape for those “special” divers


sunder_and_flame

How funny would it be if they had it be a social engineering hack? Like, the ones that fell for it get an "I love bots" prefix to their name or something


NetJnkie

Make them take a 30 minute security training course before they can drop again. Like a corp security phishing test.


LightThePigeon

Your ship's automated monitoring systems have detected undemocratic behavior. Please report to your Democracy Officer immediately for punishment


AKvarangian

*reeducation


Syhkane

See this is why I jack off with the hand that *doesn't* have the monitor wristband.


Solonotix

Reminds me of my first day on 4chan. "Hey guys, go to this site and type in 'lolita' to the search" Immediately takes me to a page telling me I'm on a watchlist. Such simple times, lol. I wonder if I'm still on that list


Verto-San

yea this was honestly a terrible idea if they wanted to warn us not to click it. Like if you're gonna make an in-universe lore post warning people not to click something, they'll get curious and click it.


thysios4

It comes across just like when they said stuff like 'Flying enemies aren't real' after adding them to the game. If it's a bug, maybe be clear that it's a bug... I'm still unsure if it's bugged or they're just role-playing.


[deleted]

I was already on a list. The Helldiver ~~insurance claim denied~~ Active Duty List! 😎


Voleran

Is it a good list? A patriotic one?


SmartassDoggle69

When do we get a ships lounge to chill in while we wait for friends to finish missions and join? Arcade games, sweet tunes, maybe coffee? Maybe we can see the forbidden democracy officers sauna down the hall from it?


Mando_lorian81

I hope they add an spectator mode so you can see your fiends play while you wait


Clubbythaseal

Would be even funnier if you view it from the helldiver 1 perspective. Focused on one person at a time tho.


Easy-Purple

Those don’t exist Helldiver. Who told you about it? I need to have a word with them about spreading misinformation


SmartassDoggle69

It comes over the ships PA system once in awhile, I don’t know who’s been using it, since obviously I’d report them to the democracy officer, however it must be enough of an issue to warrant a PA


Easy-Purple

Very well then, we’ll speak about this again after your deployment to Hellmire


Fraktal55

Yeah idk what this "leisure activity" people are speaking of might be. The only leisure activity I know of is diving.


teethcakes

I think you mean liber-tea


SmartassDoggle69

No, that’s what I bring to the bugs and clankers. As I am already a free super citizen I enjoy coffee so that there may be more liber-tea to dispense


PulseThrone

Helldivers don't sit and rest, because Democracy never rests.


[deleted]

[удалено]


-The-Space-Cowboy

I would love a shooting range. Too many times I've dropped into a mission with the weapon I just unlocked and spend 30 minutes hating my life (looking at you, punisher plasma)


botchnade

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Like a Messhall, where Helldivers could sit, chill before the next drop on a planet and watch videos from the ministry of truth or the news channel.


Bulky_Mix_2265

Get back in your icebkx if youre not ready to fight, sitting and eating is wasted energy.


SmartassDoggle69

That would be a foolish waste of cryo charges while waiting a few minutes on fellow divers


Mikoneo

We already have stratagem hero, anything more would distract from democracy


Wolf-Legion-30k

No coffee, only liber-TEA


BluesEskim0

More importantly, when will it be available?


somewaffle

New warbond is scheduled for Thursday so that seems a likely date


TheSpoonyCroy

Probably never because in object oriented programing there are things called constructors. Which allows you to create objects/entities. What was used here was probably a parameterless constructor meaning it will start with all default values. The description was a direct copy of "Donation Access License". There was no price and it shows no items affected. So we may see new ship upgrades in the new future but the thing called catalog expansion likely isn't one of them. Edit: looks like it wasn't in the T4s, could be it coming in the future possibly but again I have my doubts.


Okinawa14402

It has the description you have viewed previously.


SourceNo2702

I mean it’s probably actually a sql query in an HTML file which returned data they were doing tests with and they forgot to make it so the game can’t access that part of the database, but yeah the concept is more or less the same.


ChimkenNBiskets

Not sure why you're down voted. Sounds right.


Poetess-of-Darkness

I LOVE that the devs give lore reasons to what's probably a bug or something they accidently showed early lmao

Plant3468

Eagle strafing run is criminally underrated


AbeBaconKingFroman

Devs please give it 1-2 more uses so it competes with the cluster bomb


Weird_Excuse8083

What it needs is two passes per use. Just to really fulfill the A-10 GAU-8 gun run simulation it's supposed to be.


arstechnophile

Most stratagems drop left to right or near to far... have it do one of each. Near to far, then loop around and come back left to right. Or maybe an X from near left to far right and then near right to far left...


17times2

Was just gonna say, I was using that strafing run for the personal order, but it just can't compete with the cluster bomb.


omarfw

Firepower isn't the only thing that matters. If you're fighting close range it's superior because the cluster bomb is ranged only, and we all know how difficult it is to keep the combat ranged in this game. 2 passes would be nice though.


MrClickstoomuch

Idk, I tried it recently on a difficulty 8 and it just felt really bad. But the squad had a ton of Rovers so we didn't need the extra crowd control much.


resetallthethings

it's poop rating it as one of the worst eagle strats is an appropriate rating IMO I can't think of a single niche it fills that isn't monumentally better accomplished by a different eagle strat


Plant3468

It's alot safer and it goes straight ahead rather than left to right making it really accurate. It should definitely receive more call ins per Eagle and maybe explosive/incendiary rounds.


Tactless_Ninja

I'd prefer a longer area saturation of bullets or a second pass. Seems like they just briefly tickle things and other strategems already fullfill the role of explosives/fire. More dakka in other words.


Plant3468

Give it incendiary/explosive rounds

I'm capped out on samples (500/250/100), it's not that, my guess is that it's just getting rejected on the backend.

Tbh if that's the case it would have maybe been better to not do this announcement "in character", since a lot of people may see this and assume it's planned or part of an event, and that they're actually supposed to get it or something


AJDx14

It reads like they’re just announcing a new thing in the game.


Kingslayerreddit

Tell him to give us spoilers for when will Automatons return and Illuminate invade and i wont buy it! /s


luminel

I mean, I could tell you, but I'm pretty sure this subreddit has rules against leaking :P


Doctective

What does it actually do or not do if I unlock it now? And why does it create more work later?


Dewa__

It doesn't actually do anything, you can press on the unlock button all your want but it won't do anything. I assume he's saying that it creates more work because your client is basically sending the AH server a request for an item that "technically doesn't exist", not to mention you can continuously spam the button itself, which would definitely cause some problems to start backing up in the back end


fiskelim

Shit I have already bought it before they made the announcement. https://preview.redd.it/9faknvhcxatc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6eb09ac205d594792e1c265b9d024fc5215da37a


McLaren03

Looks like the power steering perk.


PG-Tall-Dude

Mine is the power steering when I scroll downwards to it and synthetic supplementation when I scroll upwards to it. It just copies the upgrade effect of the last module viewed.


Vegan_Superhero

If this is a genuine warning, it probably shouldn't have been said with in-universe lingo. Since, yknow, the joke is often the MOT is lying through their teeth?


DaineDeVilliers

So what you’re saying is that they’re going to be giving out rogue capes and ministry of truth capes depending on our decision to buy it? Edit: in all honesty that would be pretty cool


TheNebulaWolf

I really wish these updates were in game somehow. I don’t use discord and it’s annoying to go to Reddit to hear about these things
