Event Quotes[]
Description[]
Deception was the 3rd event of VEGA Conflict, and the first one to be hosted on Unity. It introduced the Arrestor Beam Turret, Fusion Thrusters, and the top prize, the Gharial Cutter.During the event players suffered a Ddos attack (Ddos is a way of hacking which overloads a server and prevents any connection made into that server, so in the players case they couldn't join Vega Conflict) which made KIXEYE extend the event by 1 day making it the first event to have a 5 day duration.
It Was different in the fact that each vega fleet had 10 Ships in each fleet insted of the usual 6, making them very challenging to defeat. Level 27 Cargo fleets contained 8 Weak Swarm Corvettes and 2 Weak Gharial Cutters. Level 30+ Fleets contained 6 Corvettes, 2 Gharial Cutters and 2 Dread Battleships in a different formation. The higher the fleet level, the better the shields and weapons, but the formation and ships stayed the same for level 30+ Fleets

Trivia[]
- Deception was named after the fact that It deceived some players into thinking the Vega fleets only had 6 ships
- Deception Elite 55 Vega Fleets were among the strongest NPC fleets ever, before the introduction of V-Sec 55's
- During the event, Vega A.I changed to make them stronger, focusing on 1 target until that target is dead, and strafing to dodge shots, just like in all events so Far
- On August 7th, 11:00 PDT, the game was subjected to a DDoS attack by unknown users. This caused KIXEYE to extend the event by a day and give all players logged in 250 free coins on August 10th.
- This event has the most complex A.I structure, more than Uprising (stayed the same) and Retribution (Vulture and Condor Frigates would strafe, but not much else).
- This is the first event to have a 5 day duration.
