How to Obtain:

The 1st set of experimental ships will enter the game in Update 14.2! The details below will explain how to obtain them:

• Since these ships are primarily meant for seasoned players, first of all you'll need to gain a special access by either completing a special combat mission for Tier IX ships or spending Free XP.
• After that, you'll be able to work towards unlocking these ships by completing special missions. These missions will bring you a new currency called Action Reports; you'll use these together with Credits to obtain the ships' components.
• Collecting enough components will allow you to unlock the ships themselves. The specific number of components needed will depend on the ship.
• The ships have to be unlocked in order, from Tier VIII - X.
• Once obtained, you'll be able to bring these ships into all battle types.
• They'll be available for a duration of several Updates, and will be removed with the release of Update 14.7.
• There will be a special mission chain that can be completed only with Experimental ships and will reward you with Coal.
• After their removal, commemorative rewards will be given to all players who unlocked all of the ships.
• Lastly, please be advised that balance changes may be applied to these ships in the future.
