HeavenChaser Upgrades & Job Positions

All customizations listed are purchasable through Platinum credits only.

Typically, little consideration is given to weapon design when designing a ship, since most weapons are mounted the hull or deck and are done post-construction.
Ships designed for warfare tend to carry many weapons, and the most common way of carrying weapons is through the weapon bays.
These are rooms with window screens that the crew can use to fire weapons in.

Mecha-Shift Technology

The ultimate and most powerful lifeform. Some see's this upgrade as ludicrous, while other's as peak innovation. This upgrade installs STTEP's mecha-shift technology and House Cannith's ingenius guidance to give the airship the capability of transforming. No one exactly knows what it would transform into; perhaps a humanoid form to tangle with a Kraken, or maybe a beast form to render through enemies. One thing is for certain, it creates a new method of facing gargantuan vehicles and creatures.

Transformation Sequence takes 1 minute to complete. While transforming, all doors and rooms are locked to prevent injury. Their airship is unable to move or take any actions while transforming. The airship has the capability to transform into 2 different forms, each forms uniquely different than the other.

• Fighter Form: Airships transforms into a gargantuan automachon with arms and ands, adopting a humanoid form.


• Beast Form: The airship transforms into gargantuan construct of one type of creature. It mimics the movements and abilities of that creature.
