Things You Should Know
A new temporary battle type—Big Hunt—will be available to players in Update 0.10.2. It's a revamped version of the Key Battle mode from Update 0.9.10. Team up, fight, earn Battle Points, and exchange them for rewards in the Armory.
The new battle type pits 16 players against each other and AI-controlled monsters on a gigantic Polygon map.
Your main objective is to exit the Polygon via the Portal located at the center of the map. Be cautious—the Portal only opens up after a certain amount of time.
You start out alone, but you can form teams directly in battle.
It's now possible to enter battle as part of a Division, but each player in the Division still starts the battle alone. In order to coordinate their efforts, Division mates will first need to locate each other on the map and create a team.
The Big Hunt ends when all surviving players exit through the Portal, or when the battle time expires.

[/expand] A temporary resource—
Battle Points—will be issued to players for destroying monsters and other players.
Having accrued a certain number of Battle Points, you can upgrade your ship directly in battle.
Specifically for the Big Hunt, we've added a new AI boss ship called Aurora. Defeating her will not be an easy task, but doing so will bring a huge amount of Battle Points to the team that sinks her.
The Battle Points you receive aren't lost or spent in battle when you apply upgrades. You’ll keep the points you earned regardless of what happens, and you can exchange them for rewards in the Armory.
Successfully exiting the Polygon will double the amount of Battle Points you earn.
Each of the six available ships offers a wide variety of modules that can have a significant impact on gameplay.
The Big Hunt's difficulty will intensify each week—the time it takes for the Portal to open and the monsters' HP and damage (as well as the amount of Battle Points earned by destroying them!) will increase. The maximum size of teams will also increase—from three players in the first week, to six players in the fourth week.
Tips
Try different combinations of modules and armaments—assemble a ship that's to your liking! Don't be afraid to experiment—you need to act unpredictably in the Polygon.
Try to assemble a team of your own or join one with other players. By fighting together with your allies, you'll increase your chances of escaping via the Portal.
Destroy the first monsters you encounter and upgrade your ship as quickly as possible. This will give you an advantage in the following engagements.
As you get closer to the center of the map, the monsters will become increasingly dangerous, but you'll also earn more Battle Points for destroying them.
Keep an eye on Aurora's arrival timer so that you can be in the right place and combat ready when she finally arrives. Defeating the boss ship will bring you and your team the most Battle Points.
Rewards
Earned Battle Points can be spent in the Armory to purchase three types of random bundles that include, among other things, a special temporary resource—
