Biomech Frames ride glowing flux streams across a sky full of floating islands.
Dropships ferry Frames from the flagships down to the fight.
Launch from your side's hangar, board first.
A full day clock: golden hour, dusk, night and back.
Light, Medium, Heavy, and the ace Frames heroes ride.
Every Frame rides a board. Catch streams and swells, chain tricks, grinds and manuals, and use the flux's lift to outrun anything with a thruster. The flux remembers where you've been.

Real guns, missile pods, harpoons and OVERDRIVE heat. Lose your Frame and fight on as the pilot: climb enemy Frames, board a flagship, sabotage its reactor.
Pick a Frame »
Quick battles of 12 a side, or the War: a 32 km open world where Bluehaven and Ironhold fight for every town, mine and fort. Nothing is scripted.

The hangar's new REFIT tab lets you take a core, head, arms, legs and pack from any of the hand-made Frames and put them together. Its numbers come from its parts, and its weight has to suit its legs: the first custom build came in at 32.7 t on legs rated for 30.0 t, so it loses top speed and turn until it slims down.
The hangar has a new BENCH tab. Spend salvage to build a board, roll its shape, and lock the parts you like. How a board handles now comes from its measured shape: nine of its ten handling numbers follow from the hull you build.
Close fights got three new layers. Board Brawl lets you strike while you ride. Sky Tackle throws your whole Frame into an enemy in the air. And at people scale, a Frame can kneel and strike pilots on the ground.
Four pushes in one day: a fight HUD with your wing and radar, an on-foot HUD, new menus and a dressed hangar bay, and a cockpit pod built for each Frame.
The map's blank stretches are getting built out. Forests and root spires grow over the land, and the sea now has reefs and ruins under the swell.
LIFTLINE is now a large-scale battle game. Sky Conquest pits 12 Frames a side against each other over five bases, with battle points to spend on hero aces and a flagship over each side's HQ that you can shoot to pieces or land on.
IN THE HANGARStats are relative to the Medium (1.00); CUSTOM shows its build on its board. Hero aces cost battle points to deploy, one a side at a time. Build your own from any Frame’s parts in the hangar’s REFIT tab.
