Ellydium destroyer “Ze'Ta”:
Corporation “Ellydium” is proud to present the final stage of the Evolution of ships! Now the Ellydium destroyer “Ze'Ta” is available for modifications rank 15!
The ship was designed using the latest advances in the development of crystalline technology. Incredible offensive and defensive power make the destroyer almost invincible!
The ship's unique feature is a remotely controlled special crystalline swarm, created under the personal guidance of doctors Matthew Gilmore and Conrad Dimeni. This is a true weapon of retribution! Mankind's sword of vengeance, forged by employees of the corporation “Ellydium”!
To unlock the new ship nodes, resources will be needed. They can be obtained as a reward for the 14th stage of the second phase of “Moon Race”:
Neocortex:
Archeocortex:
Resources can be purchased or sold in the “Trade” tab. The offer is limited in time and will be valid until the start of the third stage of the Moon race.
The third destroyer special module “Fast Swarm”
Launches a crystalline swarm, which operates in several modes:
Boost mode:
The swarm accelerates the destroyer. At the same time resistance to hull and shield damage increases.
Projectile mode:
The swarm flies in the direction of the sight and when it hits or is activated again, it goes into cloud mode. Kinetic damage is dealt on impact.
Cloud mode:
The swarm freezes in place and increases in size. Opponents caught in it are slowing down and cannot teleport, use micro warp and the “Side booster”. The range of their radar is reduced. Allies inside the cloud have reduced radar signatures. The destroyer's turn speed increases, as well as hull and shield resistance to damage.
When the swarm is destroyed, the destroyer's resistance to damage is further increased.
“Ellydium” destroyer weapon “Plasma burster”
For the Ellydium destroyer.
Shoots short bursts of explosive shells, leaving highly active gas in the place of impact, dangerous for any matter. Gas deals extra damage.
Active module “Crystalline suppressor”
For the Ellydium destroyer.
It produces a cluster projectile, which is divided into smaller shells with homing. Upon breaking it creates a cloud of plasma, restoring the hulls of allies and dealing thermal damage to enemies.
Capacitor modifier “Dead Hand”
After the destroyer has received deadly damage, it allows you to control a swarm that deals increased damage for a while. After the end of the module's effect, the destroyer explodes. Additionally increases the rate of energy regeneration.
CPU modifier “Combat control”:
During manual control, the swarm allows you to fire single drones. The modifier additionally increases the damage of weapons.
Destroyer bundles:
Attention, pilots! We re-released the bundles with destroyers in a slightly modified configuration. Those who bought the bundles before are not affected by the changes. The composition of the bundles will not change for them.
Star Conflict: Tyrant
Star Conflict: Vigilant
Star Conflict: Archon
Star Conflict: Sirius
Star Conflict: Invincible
Star Conflict: Procyon
Sector Conquest:
Now the capture of the dreadnought's command cabin blocks the possibility of re-using destroyed ships.
Game modes:
Last Man Standing
Improved mode settings.
Sector Conquest:
Western portal
Open only on Saturday from 20:00 MSK.
The reward is increased.
Corporate wars:
Added a title — “Second Lieutenant”.
Interface:
Now when you click on the bonus icon, a separate bonus window will open.
Added a new counter icon showing how many tasks are associated with a particular mode. Clicking on this item will open a task window.
Improved a number of tips for weapons and modules.
Now the tasks for which players receive xenochips are displayed with a special icon.
Now the game displays server time, not local user time.
Balance tweaks:
Liquid Metal Injector
Cooldown reduced by 25%.
Rationale: the module has a very long rollback compared with other guard recovery modules.
Speed balancer:
Raised activation threshold from 5% speed to 15%.
Rationale: the current value of 10-25 m / sec makes the modifier undesirable.
Quantum leap:
Module cooldown increased by 40%.
Rationale: This special module stands out among the rest: it allows you to restore the durability of the ship too often.
Thar'Ga:
Base ship acceleration increased to 99 m / sec2.
Rationale: The ship’s current acceleration parameters are very weak and are an intermediate option between fighters and frigates. At the same time, after stopping (for example, by a tackler), it is very difficult to accelerate again for such a ship, which makes it extremely vulnerable.
Engineer's combat drones:
Shield recovery radius increased to 1000 m.
Rationale: The change is designed to increase the competitiveness of this module compared to other special modules of engineers.
Guided thermosphere:
Base range reduced to 5000 m (now 7300 m).
Shot damage increased by 30%.
Cloud damage increased by 20%.
Projectile speed increased by 15%.
Rationale: The weapon is unpopular due to the weak one-time damage and difficulty in its use.
Branching laser:
Base range reduced to 4500m.
Damage increased by 20%.
Time to overheat increased to 7 seconds.
Rationale: The gun has low damage and quickly overheats. The change is designed to increase the competitiveness of this weapon.
Engine Suppressor:
Prohibits the enemy in the line of sight from using micro warp and teleports.
Rationale: the creation of an alternative module to the inhibitor beam, but with a longer recharge.
Waz'Dum:
Increased the base speed of the projectile to 6000 m / sec (now 4500 m / sec).
Camouflage shroud:
Now missile defence can take down missiles with the shroud.
Rationale: added additional countermeasure to the module.
Doppler laser:
Reduced firing range by 400 m.
Rationale: The range of the gun, compared with a pulse laser, is too high.
Ammunition stabilizer and Weapon overcharge
Activating one of the modules overrides the other.
Rationale: Simultaneous activation of these modules provides the ship with an undue advantage.
Turbophaser DN-1:
Increased damage from weapons by 20%.
Rationale: the change is designed to increase the competitiveness and relevance of this weapon.
Mirv cannon:
Reduced firing range from 6,600 to 5,000.
Rationale: The range of the gun is too high.
Automatic Tournaments:
Now the duration of the battle is 10 minutes.
Miscellaneous:
Xenochip limit reduced to 200 pcs.
Now the time to choose a free premium ship during the Moon race has been increased to 24 hours.
Improved a number of visual and sound effects.

New PvE mission “Temple of Last Hope”:
Attention to all pilots! The UMC received an emergency contract from the so-called Broker. Our customer is ready to pay well to all pilots who can take part in the defence of the “Temple of Last Hope” complex in the Antares system. According to our data, in the very near future, the Cartel intends to undertake a large-scale operation to seize the complex. Unfortunately, we still do not know who hired the Cartel and why exactly they were so suddenly interested in the Temple.
Pilots have to hold out as long as possible, destroying enemy waves.
Attention! To get early access to the mission, you must purchase the Moon Pass “Into the Unknown”. The pass can be purchased at the official project store.
New Map “Temple of Last Hope”:
O Monolith, the legend of Jericho! Pride of the Fleet of the Departed, an ancient shrine of the Liu Family. We remember your empty squares and ruined minarets of skyscrapers. And now your Temple lost for all these many years, is with us once again!
The abandoned complex, called the “Temple of Last Hope”, was recently discovered by pilots in the Antares system not far from the famous “Ancient Ruins”, another abandoned complex built by an unknown race.
A quick examination of the complex showed that almost all the systems of the Temple are in working condition. It was even possible to start the generators of the protective field. Under their protection, a certain organization “Ancestor Heritage”, together with the UMC, started studying the interior of the temple complex. Perhaps there, in the dark depths of the mysterious temple catacombs, is the clue to the Monolith tragedy...

After the loss of the Solar system in the war with the Aliens, the fate of the order, just like the Emperor's, is unknown. Many believe that the guard was evacuated through a secret gate.

Ships:
Ze'Ta:
UMC reports that our scientists were able to master the technology of aliens and learned how to assemble a “neuron” from ordinary resources. At the moment, it is a bit expensive, but in the future, the technology will be improved.
Because of this, the mining of Crystal Axons and Vitreous Dendrites in Special Operations is terminated. The axons and dendrites that were already collected can be processed into the necessary resources for the manufacture of a neuron.
Scientists continue to work on hacking the next phase of evolution.
Crystal axons and Vitreous dendrites are no longer required to unlock the ship's nodes.
The remaining Crystal Axons and Vitreous Dendrites can be disassembled into conventional workshop resources

Star Conflict 1.6.2 Evolution. To the Pinnacle:
Ellydium destroyer “Ze'Ta”:
“Ellydium” corporation proudly presents the second stage of the path to perfection and the pinnacle of the evolution of ships! Now the Ellydium destroyer “Ze'Ta” is available for modifications of 12-14 ranks!
The ship was designed using the latest advances in the development of crystalline technology. Incredible offensive and defensive power make the destroyer almost invincible!
The ship's unique feature is a remotely controlled special crystalline swarm, created under the personal guidance of doctors Matthew Gilmore and Conrad Dimeni. This is a true weapon of retribution! Mankind's sword of vengeance, forged by employees of the corporation “Ellydium”!
The resource “Crystal Neuron” is required to open the new nodes of the ship.
A functional unit of the crystallid neural network.
You can build a “Crystal Neuron” from the special resources “Vitreous Dendrite” and “Crystal Axon”.
Resource “Vitreous Dendrite”:
Significantly branched outgrowths that deal with the information collected by the crystal neuron.

Used in the manufacture of the resource “Crystal Neuron”.
Can be obtained in the special operations “Return to Eden”.
The number of resources extracted in Special Operations will increase as our scientists improve the technology for extracting Dendrites and Axons from the remains of crystallids. Once the scientists have mastered the technology of crystalline neural networks, the need for crystal neurons will disappear and they will be replaced with standard resources.
“Vitreous Dendrite” and “Crystal Axon” can be bought or sold in the “Trade” tab.
The second special module of the destroyer “Balanced Swarm”
Launches a crystalline swarm, which operates in several modes:
Defence mode:
The swarm surrounds the destroyer and boosts its damage resistance and hull regeneration.
Attack mode:
The swarm pursues a target captured by the destroyer and deals damage to it.
Hunt mode:
The swarm scatters into several groups that attack nearby enemies.
Active Module “Devastator beam"
For the Ellydium destroyer. Highlights targets within range and deals damage. Generates clouds of particles that deal damage to and around the highlighted ships.
Transport module “Jump system Kapkan”
For the Ellydium destroyer. The ship jumps forward. All those who were near it find themselves trapped for a few seconds and cannot move.

The ship Tai'Kin has absorbed all the latest achievements of “Ellydium” science laboratories that reached great heights in the development of Alien tech. The ship turned out incredibly fast and manoeuvrable.
The development of the ship and its active modules was carried out by Dr Matthew Gilmore, the head of the mysterious and carefully protected Scientific Complex No. 2 of the Ellydium Theta station. And Conrad Dimeni personally oversaw the development. Tai'Kin was the first ship that was able to fully use the unimaginable properties of single bosons to change the space-time.
Leagues. Operation “Shining”:
Mysterious spatial tunnels leading to various locations of space have been detected in the “Shining” zone. Their research has shown that control over them is a very profitable business since portals lead to resource-rich sectors.
To control the tunnels you need to capture the beacons in the location to which they are currently tied.
Mercenary teams have begun an active struggle for resources and control over the https://star-conflict.com/en/news/1756-important-update-banned-equipment-in-leagues-en wormholes. It turned out that the passage through them blocks high-tech equipment, weapons and ships. Pilots will have to fight on the few available ships that can pass through the protective field of wormholes. The list of banned ships and equipment can be found here (link).
The fight has begun! Only the strongest teams and the best pilots will be able to control the tunnels and get valuable resources!
Available portals:
Eastern portal
Western portal
Southern portal
In the new locations, battles are fought by the rules of the League.
The old leagues cease to exist.
The Leagues button now leads to new Invasion locations.
The new locations have their own game time - 17-00 UTC.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.6.1c - Return to Eden (Mar 28, 2019)

Star Conflict 1.6.1c: CerberusS Balance Papa Crab Holidays:
This week you will see truly amazing changes. Crystallids have once again infected technology of all sides of the conflict. The owners of Brokk ships suddenly started delivery pizza to the fringe sectors. New holiday stickers. Pizza missiles and more! And most importantly, corporate wars have begun...
Ship “Papa Crab”:
The owners of the ship Brokk are now delivering pizza to fringe sectors. Professor Lesorticz from the laboratory TG19 of the Ellydium Corporation suggests that this has got something to do with crystallids, continuing their experiments with viral Bione technologies. The infection does not just change the appearance of the ship, but also the behaviour of pilots! We urge you not to be afraid if a pizza or pasta suddenly arrives in battle.
PS The pizza's very good, you should try it.:
We have temporarily reduced the number of guns on the ship from 4 to 2.
The damage of all types (kinetic, thermal, electromagnetic) is temporarily increased by 70% due to changes in the number of weapons.
The effectiveness of repair tools installed on Brokk is temporarily increased by 85%.
This year some types of missiles and drones were also infected! Employees from the laboratory TG19 of the corporation “Ellydium” are currently carefully investigating the problem. And they're asking for more!
Rocket “Pizza”:
Compatibility: Brokk
Special delivery from Papa Crab! Reduces the speed of movement of enemy ships. After the collision, it remains, as a bonus, regenerating the hull and boosting the parameters of the ship.
“Pizza” delivery drone:
Compatibility: Brokk
Special delivery from Papa Crab! Delivers pizza to an ally, restoring the hull of the ship. After that, protects an ally.
Infected weapons:
Crystallids have once again infected technology of all sides of the conflict. Any weaponry is now dangerous for pilots! Engineers are trying to cure the guns from the mysterious infection of aliens, but this takes time. There's a theory that victory over the virus depends on your professional qualities. Everything's in your claws!
Festive stickers:
New unique holiday stickers have become available. The stickers will be available for a limited time!
Astrocat:
Furry space
Tab-51
Lady with an astronaut
First tomato velocity
Smashing
Get all the stickers in a special container bundle. To do this, you will need to go to the “Bundles” tab and select “Holiday Bundle #1/33”.
To celebrate the holiday we have prepared special holiday stickers that previously belonged to a space trucker. They say they help accompany the caravans!
Take it easy
I'll cover you
Kick me
Bandaids won't help
Take it slow
Beware of Biomorphs
As well as festive stickers available in the “Sarcastic Container” bundle:
Smile!
Baby on board
I hate Aliens
My favourite day
Peace!
No sleeping!
Special containers with holiday stickers “Space trucker bundle” and “Sarcastic container” can be purchased in the “Bundles” tab.
Decorate your fleet during the holidays! Let's win together!
Weekly Tournaments:
Remembering the ancient earthly wisdom “As you call a boat, so it will float” we paid attention to the tournament aspect. The name of your team will better match its qualitative composition.
Biomorph Ships:
Pilots! Biomorphs infected technology of all sides of the conflict. In addition to weapons, the greatest changes were made to the ships Katana and Styx. We urge pilots to be extremely careful when using them!
Star Conflict — Pilgrim:
Pilots! UMC has prepared a special offer for you — a special bundle with the Pilgrim ship!
Jericho's command fighter “Pilgrim”, rank 16
Kinetic weapon “Thanatos” railgun
Active module “Camouflage shroud”
Shield modifier “Safety speed boost”
The inhabitants of Jericho made pilgrimages to the Monolith for centuries. Even the invasion and the ban on flights to this zone could not break this tradition. A new tradition appeared and quickly took root among the top Jericho Families. Now the patriarchs were allowed on the pilgrimage only under the protection of mercenaries.
So a few years ago Pilgrim was constructed with the money of caring patrons. A model designed to protect pilgrims. In order to make flights in turbulent times for the galaxy, the ship was equipped with a camouflage generator and rapid-fire weapons, while a lot of effort was put into the shield system.
Just recently, Pilgrim became available on the market. The reason for the sharply increased popularity of the ship was not the mass passion for pilgrimages. The model was appreciated by the UMC mercenaries who found a new use for it — in battles.
Corporate Wars:
Pilots! UMC announces the start of a large-scale corporate confrontation! In the near future, all corporations will have the opportunity to declare war on other corporations and show who is stronger!
War:
To participate in corporation battles, corporations need to provide defence to their pilots. Corporation defence is restored with corporate iridium, and with a zero value of defence, wars become unavailable to the corporation. Also, with zero corporation defence, progress in corporate ranks of pilots stops.
A declaration of war by another corporation is paid for with corporate iridium. The cost of declaring war is dynamic and depends on the rating of the attacked and attacking corporations, as well as on how long corporations have not participated in wars.
The declared war ends when the defence of one of the corporations has dropped to zero. A corporation's defence is lost from damage dealt by enemies in any PvP battles, including Open Space.
Leaderboards:
We added a leaderboard, reflecting the strength of corporations in corporate wars.
Ranks and rewards:
The victorious corporation receives corporate iridium, in accordance with the contribution made to the victory and partially restores its defence.
Participants in wars earn “war points” necessary to obtain special corporate titles. The current corporate rank of the pilot and war points are displayed in his profile. When moving from one corporation to another, corporate titles are retained, but the war points are reset.
Shining. Spatial tunnels:
Attention to all pilots! The UMC monitoring service recorded the opening of mysterious spatial tunnels in the area of “Shining”. Currently, a special group of mercenaries has been sent there to gather information. According to preliminary data, the portals lead to different locations of space. We need to establish control over them in the near future! The task is complicated by the fact that such wormholes only let in ships using the minimum amount of computing technology.
Stay tuned! In the near future, we will publish additional information about this mysterious phenomenon.
Conquest:
Rewards:
Rewards are now given for owning a sector. Sector owners receive half of the location resources, and challengers get the remaining part, in proportion to their influence. The reward received by the corporation is distributed among the players of the corporation according to their points of influence.
Locations:
Now, with any loot collected in open space, the owner corporation receives a reward in corporate iridium.
Reduced the cost of removing station protection for the corporation that owns the sector in half.

The tongue rotates until all crystalline growths are destroyed on it.
When a biomorph is destroyed, a crystal pearl appears in its place, which must be delivered to the dreadnought.
Changed the mechanics of delivering pearls to the dreadnought.
Tweaked operation difficulty.
Interface:
Added the option to remember modules and modifiers installed on the ship. This feature is available for players who have reached level 15 and higher.
Up to 4 assembly options can be stored for each ship.
Each preset remembers the installed weapons, ammunition, missiles, active modules and modifiers.
The modules for applying the saved preset are taken from the player's warehouse; if there is no module in the warehouse, the player will receive a notification about this.
Attention! The current version of the add-on is in the testing stage, which may see changes in functionality, as well as the interface itself.

The ship “Thar'ga” became one of the main breakthroughs of “Ellydium”. Experiments have shown that crystal growth can be controlled, resulting in more than a hundred different modifications of the ship, suited to the individual needs of the pilots. Such a dangerous and powerful technology, coupled with the advanced developments of the corporation “Ellydium”, makes “Thar'ga” one of the most powerful weapons of war, which the corporation got at the terrible price of the tragedy in the RG7 block of the Ellydium Theta station.
Sector Conquest. Special conditions:
The following conditions were changed in Sector Conquest: the size of the teams in the battles was set to 10 pilots. The maximum wing size remains the same — 8 people.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.6.1 - Return to Eden (Feb 14, 2019)

New raid “Return to Eden”:
After the latest Ellydium dreadnought “Defiant” managed to return to its base at the “Pilgrim-11” complex, the data it received were processed by the specialists of the corporation. It turned out that in the first experimental flight the dreadnought faced a new kind of crystallid, called the “Devourer”, for its incredible size, features and firepower. It seems that we saw a sample of new alien technologies. Perhaps it is a kind of fusion of crystallids and biones. The scientists of the Ellydium Corporation cannot stand aside and are assembling a new Expedition to the Devourer's habitat.
Special rewards for the special operation “Return to Eden”:
Pilots! The head of Ellydium corporation's security service Arlette Sokal announces an additional reward for the best mercenaries participating in the special operation “Return to Eden”.
All pilots who participated in the special operation will appear on the leaderboard. If the pilot manages to exceed his previous result in subsequent attempts, then his best score in the leaderboard is updated.
Those pilots who will rank from 1 to 120 in the leaderboard will receive 1000 galactic standards.
Those pilots who will rank from 1 to 12 in the leaderboard will also receive 1000 monocrystals and 1000 xenocrystals!
The rewards will be automatically awarded to pilots as of the leaderboard at 09-00 MSK on February 28.
We will publish intermediate results in the official “VK” and “Facebook” communities. Follow the news!
Happy Valentine's Day!:
Pilots, the Star Conflict team wishes you a happy holiday — Valentine's Day! May happiness, love and luck always help you in battle!

New DLC with rank 8 destroyers
We continue releasing bundles with destroyers. This time you will get bundles with the ships Invincible, Procyon and Archon.
The bundle “Star Conflict: Empire destroyer Invincible” includes:
Rank 8 Empire destroyer “Invincible”
Unique destroyer weapon
Meson cannon
Special weapons for suppressor destroyers:
Multiphase shield
“Tempest” launcher
Blaster turret
Pyro emitter
The Invincible line of ships was created during the second war for the Bartle sector and has been constantly improved since then. True “workhorses” of the Imperial Spacefleet were used everywhere for fire support in offensive operations. Military doctrines changed, the fleet was updated, but Invincible always remained in the ranks. In many years of production and operation, more than forty different models and countless modifications of the destroyer were created. The latest model of Invincible is deservedly considered the strongest link in the modern fleet of the Empire.
The bundle “Star Conflict: Federation destroyer Procyon” includes:
Rank 8 Federation destroyer “Procyon”
Unique destroyer weapon
“Halo” launcher
Special weapons for suppressor destroyers:
Multiphase shield
Wormhole projector
Plasma turret
Emitter: Repelling Beam
Only six months after the bankruptcy of Sol-X Inc it turned out that the corporation was spying on Federation shipyards for the Empire. By that time, the most valuable database with all the information about the Federation ships was sold at an auction. The private investor who bought it was soon discovered to have died under strange circumstances. The fate of the Sol-X database is unknown. More recently, the corporation Procyon, previously unknown to anyone, introduced the destroyer of the same name. Despite the fact that most experts are inclined to believe that Procyon was created precisely because of the Sol-X databases, the authorities were not able to present the corporation with any charges. With its high-tech destroyer, the corporation won the state tender without any problems.
The bundle “Star Conflict: Jericho destroyer Archon” includes:
Rank 8 Jericho destroyer “Archon”
Unique destroyer weapon
Coilgun
Special weapons for suppressor destroyers:
Multiphase shield
Gravitational lens
Photon emitter
“Tempest” launcher
Archon destroyer was first used in a battle with Aliens in the year 4616 by the Mendes family. The appearance of the prototype on the battlefield caused heated debate. The destroyer's design was too reminiscent of the work of the great master Arthur Liu, who died in the crash of “Monolith”. The surviving members of the Liu family accused Mendes of theft. However, the Family Council, struck by the power of the destroyer, did not listen to them. Following the demarche of the Mendes family and their exile to quarantine sectors, Archon became the basis for the strike power of their fleet.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.6.0 Update #2 (Dec 30, 2018)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.6.0 Update #1 (Dec 27, 2018)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.6.0 - Rise of Giants (Dec 20, 2018)

New PvE system “UMC Missions”:
As promised, we are significantly changing and expanding the system of PvE missions in the game. Now, missions for ranks 1-17 will have multiple dynamic difficulty levels from 1 to infinity. Players initially have access only to the first difficulty level. Subsequent levels will become available as you progress through the previous ones. Enemies in the missions become stronger with each level. Mission level is selected by players on the ship selection screen. Players will also be able to get stronger as part of the PvE missions, by buying their own special bonuses that only work in PvE.
All pilots completing PvE missions get a special valuable resource “Insignia”.
The earned Insignia can be used to increase mission levels.
The earned Insignia can be used to enhance your defences and power in PvE missions.
PvE Mission of ranks 6-17 and above are now called “Deadly Challenges”. They are not covered by the new system.
The new PvE Missions will be constantly available for some time after launch, and then they will be added to the general list of available missions.
There is a limit for the new PvE resource — Insignia. The set limit of 200 units is sufficient for players to reach the 80th progress level. As soon as we make sure that everything works as intended, the limits will be adjusted.
Infinite PvE missions are tied less to player skill and more to the time they spend. This should give players a sense of progress, similar to classic RPGs.
The respawn system in all PvE has also been reworked. Now, in each PvE players will only have a limited number of respawns. We will closely monitor whether the current number of respawns is sufficient and tune them, if necessary.
In contrast to the infinite PvE, we added deadly challenges, which are designed for experienced players. Their difficulty is much higher, and the reward is increased.
In special operations, the number of respawns per player is set to 10. This is the average number of player respawns in battle.
New PvE-mission “The price of trust”:
This is an urgent message from the UMC. The security service of Ellydium Corporation has just placed a contract for all experienced mercenaries.
The dreadnought “Defiant” requires urgent repairs. Immediately after the dreadnought's breakdown, its captain Red Bacon turned for help to his old acquaintance Landao, a well-known adventurer who managed to unite scattered gangs of opportunists and create his own small free republic among the forgotten rocks of the Raider Range. As a result, virtually all of the dreadnought's command was captured by Landao's pirates. And the ship itself is stuck in the system.
The UMC is forced to attract all available pilots and mercenaries to repel the attack. You have to urgently arrive in the Kayeed system in the Raider Range area, protect the dreadnought and repel the attack. Due to Landao’s treachery, Ellydium came very close to losing the experimental dreadnought.
This is probably just the beginning. Someone very influential and prepared wants to take possession of the dreadnought at any cost.
New location “Pilgrim-11”:
You've never seen the corporation “Ellydium” like this!
Welcome to the multifunctional complex “Pilgrim-11”. It includes an advanced laboratory that works in the field of agriculture, renewable natural resources and environmentally friendly fuels. Despite the shaky situation in the galaxy, Ellydium boldly looks forward, creating a better future for each of us.
Please note that the planet has a mild climate and flora and fauna are highly developed. All this creates an extremely favourable environment for living. There is a residential area next to the laboratory, as well as recreation and rehabilitation centres. Hydroponic factories are located on the surface of the planet.
Let's move on to the next...
— Excuse me, can I ask you a question?
— Of course. Your opinion is very important to us.
— What is the dreadnought doing here? Does “Ellydium” have ships of this class!?
— No comments. Please let's go to the next gallery.
Ellydium destroyer “Ze'Ta”:
Corporation “Ellydium” proudly presents its main achievement — the latest destroyer, built by scientists at the station “Ellydium Theta”. The ship was designed using the latest advances in the development of crystalline technology. Incredible offensive and defensive power make the destroyer any team's trump card in any battle. The vessel can provide fire support in both offensive and defensive operations.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.5.9 (Nov 22, 2018)

Pilots! EWY engineers have prepared a unique command fighter developed by Jericho “Pilgrim”. The ship not only impresses onlookers with its unusual appearance, but also with its capabilities. The ship's special module “Emergency landing” allows you to land the ship on any surface in space!
Jericho command fighter Pilgrim (Rank 16):
The inhabitants of Jericho made pilgrimages to the Monolith for centuries. Even the invasion and the ban on flights to this zone could not break this tradition. However, it became truly dangerous to travel even for short distances. Nevertheless, there were enough of those willing to put their lives at risk to get to the main shrine. Representatives of the more prosperous Jericho class risked money in order not to risk their heads. Their own. A new tradition appeared and quickly took root among the top Jericho Families. The patriarchs would only venture on a pilgrimage under the protection of mercenaries, who charged an incredible amount of credits for their services.
So a few years ago Pilgrim was constructed with the money of caring patrons. A model designed to protect pilgrims. In order to make flights in turbulent times for the galaxy, the ship was equipped with a camouflage generator and rapid-fire weapons, while a lot of effort was put into the shield system. Grateful patriarchs sometimes gave it as a gift to their most faithful servants for conscientious service.
Just recently, Pilgrim became available on the market. The reason for the sharply increased popularity of the ship was not mass passion for pilgrimages. The model was appreciated by the UMC mercenaries who found a new use for it — in battles. In their hands, the ship turned out to have a much wider functionality than the designers had originally intended.
Special module “Emergency landing”:
For a few seconds, the ship lands with its bottom on the surface, the distance to which should be no more than a few meters. A shield is activated for the duration of the module, and the damage and range of the main weapon increase.
“Thanatos” railgun:
Kinetic weapon.
If the target dies shortly after a hit, its death generates an explosion.
Camouflage shroud:
Active module.
Launches a rocket, which generates a shroud on hit or when activated. All the ships inside it can not be detected, but they can not use the radar.
Safety speed boost:
Shield modifier.
Constantly increases the speed and acceleration of the ship. Gives an additional bonus at low shield integrity.
The ship will be available for a limited time. Until mid-December, you can build the ship with galactic standards. From mid-December onwards, the ship will be withdrawn from sale for some time and will again be available for construction with credits and resources only at the beginning of next year.
Miscellaneous:
Improved a number of visual effects.
When manufacturing items, you can now see the entire chain of obtaining the necessary source items.
If the original item can be purchased, the corresponding button is displayed.
Now it is possible to purchase resources for production directly from the production window.
The implant “Neuroconnector RB-X” lost the bonus to experience.
Now, if the wing has fewer than 5 pilots when entering Conquest mode, then the wing automatically transforms into a squad.
Added a button for closing the preview window.
Added the ability to research all available modules at once.
Duplicators are now sold for credits.
Improved mission list.
Improved notification of a completed trade transaction.
Now the chat window is not hidden when entering a battle, if the corresponding setting is enabled.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.5.8a (Nov 1, 2018)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.5.8 (Oct 25, 2018)

Every year at the end of October in the Earth's calendar, a wave of anomalous energy passes through the Universe. This period is called Halloween according to an old Earth tradition. Fanatics and cultists who worship the Signal believe that the souls of the dead come to our world on Halloween.
Previously, scientists explained this phenomenon by the fact that it was at this time that the Signal reached its peak. Every year countless laboratories conduct daring experiments to tame the energy of the Signal. A few years ago, one such project of Jericho ended in disaster. After that, all objects with an active signal were assigned the code name W.I.T.Ch.
The protocol “W.I.T.Ch. Hunt” is now active Mercenaries can earn special rewards for destroying W.I.T.Ches!
“W.I.T.Ch. Hunt” protocol!:
UMC dug up special long-discontinued weapons in warehouses. Only these weapons are guaranteed to protect mercenaries from the Infected. Using missiles “MEM Inquisitor”, you must destroy the ships of those mercenaries who are suspected of carrying the alien infection. Infected are among all combat roles — you need to destroy at least one host from each role.
The best mercenaries will get a special achievement and a special title!:
Surprise alien attack!:
Pilots! We learned that alien activity has suddenly sharply intensified. We associate increased activity with the anomalous energy wave. Be especially careful and cautious these days. Spontaneous portal openings and alien attacks are possible during battles.
Miranda Del Arte's Special Tasks:
The “New Day's Signa” Brotherhood reminds you: “Signal's Peak” is approaching: it's a troubled time when the spirits of the dead come to collect their tribute from the living! Miranda Del Arte offers special assignments for mercenaries! As a reward, you will get monocrystals.
Scary sounds!:
Some pilots report hearing extremely spooky sounds and demonic laughter when dockingd with stations. Perhaps this is somehow connected with the W.I.T.Ch. operation. We managed to intercept and record one of these messages:
“Detonation” mode:
The Center has received alarming reports that special bombs in the PvP mode “Detonation” look extremely suspicious! We urge all pilots to be as attentive as possible in these dangerous times.
Strange faces:
Some employees of the UMC as well as employees of intelligence representatives and corporations that are actively working with mercenaries, have been looking extremely strange and suspicious recently. Perhaps this is somehow related to Signal's Peak. But it is also possible that these are just festive costumes.
Colouring scheme “Pumpkin”!:
Scary stickers!:
A spooky 66.6% bonus to experience and credits for 3 days!
Attention! The pack can be purchased an unlimited number of times. In this case, the cost of purchased goods will be deducted from the final price. When you purchase the pack more than once, the bonus time is reset!
The “Halloween” pack will be available to all pilots only during the holiday: from October 25 to November 8. The colouring scheme and stickers will stay with you forever! Available in the game store!
We will continue to inform all pilots about the strange events that are happening these days in the Fringe Sectors. Stay tuned!
Changes to ship crafting resources:
Pilots! In this difficult and dangerous time, the UMC engineers continue to work on optimizing the ship manufacturing processes. Today they have prepared particularly important changes.
Very soon, approximately from November 8, such resources as Neodium, Beryllium and Electrum will be removed from the game. Other existing resources will be used for crafting. We have no plans to introduce new resource types.
The changes will affect the following components:
Reinforced destroyer structure
Stabilized destroyer structure
Empire destroyer computing systems
Empire destroyer CPU
Empire destroyer activator
Federation destroyer computing systems
Federation destroyer CPU
Federation destroyer activator
Jericho destroyer computing systems
Jericho destroyer CPU
Jericho destroyer activator
Neodium plate
Impure neodium
Enriched beryllium
Beryllium
Enriched electrum
Electrum
Destroyer exterior structures
Destroyer auxiliary structures
These resources will remain active and available for trade in the upcoming two weeks. After that, these resources will be taken out of the game, and components for ship assembly will be revised.
Miscellaneous:
Improved a number of visual effects and interface elements.
Now the Tasks button is locked up to access level 3 inclusive.
The “Crew” and “Storage” tabs are swapped.
Revised the amount of experience required for levelling your ship up.
Changed the cost of upgrading modules, modifiers and weapons.
Improved a number of texts and descriptions.
Improved the default HUD settings.
The maximum number of credits in your account has been reduced to 440 million.
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug where achievements for “Skirmish” were awarded in the “Versus AI” mode.

Imperial ECM interceptor Dyrnwyn (Rank 17):
This parade ship was created even before the war with the Aliens, specially commissioned by the Templars, the organization that conducts all the ceremonies in the Empire.
Designed to accompany VIPs. The shiny and a bit pretentious hull, at least according to Imperial thought, hides deadly electronic suppression systems capable of disabling many enemies, and the improved armaments will be your final argument against any aggressor.
With this update, the new rank 17 ship Dyrnwyn becomes available to all pilots. Complete the UMC's tasks and get the unique components required for the ship's assembly. They can also be found in special container-bundles
Special UMC assignments will be available for a limited time. The offer is valid from July 19 to August 9. The timing of the event may be changed. Watch this space!

If all 3 engines of the transport are destroyed in the second phase, then in the 4th phase they will be restored.
Transports with shields:
If you allow the enemy transport to reach the docks in the second phase, then in the 4th phase it will have a special powerful shield.
In order to weaken the shield, you need to use special mines and mine the path in front of the transport.
Transport durability:
If the enemy transport reaches the docks in the second phase, then in the 4th phase it will have as much durability as it did at the end of the second phase instead of 100%.
If the allied transport reaches the docks in the third phase, then in the 5th phase it will have as much durability as it did at the end of the third phase.
Spaceball:
Following the results of the trial period, we decided to extend the availability of the ‘Spaceball’ mode. Games will be held from 03:00 - 07:00 (UTC+3), 14:00-18:00 (UTC+3) and 20:00 - 24:00 (UTC+3).. All changes in the mode will be announced at a later date. Follow the news and the change logs.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.5.0 (Dec 19, 2017)

New player progress system:
Very soon, after the New Year holidays, a new player progress system will be introduced into the game. Progress through the ranks will happen in the form of a story campaign, covering a variety of game modes. Reaching a new level will give the pilot additional opportunities — new game modes, more powerful ships, weapons, modules. By raising his level the pilot will also have access to new locations in the ‘Open Space’ mode.
A new player progress system will be available in the near future.We'll talk about it in more detail in the upcoming releases of the Developer Blog. And now all pilots need to prepare their fleet!
New ship ‘Object NY18’:
Allegiance : Unique ship.
Class : Frigate
Role: Guard
Rank: 5-15. Depending on the rank chosen by the player, the number of available modules varies with the ship.
For the first time a ship of this type was discovered on one of the satellites of the gas giant MOA-2011-BLG-322. The titanic ancient ship was abandoned for millennia. By pure chance, it was discovered by treasure hunters. A working mini-shipyard was found on board, which enabled Ellydium Corporation to quickly launch mass production of similar vessels, but much smaller. These ships were transferred to the UMC for testing.
Only until January 18 of the new year there is an opportunity to get the unique ship ‘Object NY18’!
For daily access to the game between December 19 and January 18, each pilot receives a special container with ‘Object NY18’ parts.
You need to accept Arlette Socal's special mission to get the container.
In total, to build the whole ship you need to get a cabin and 10 sectors of the ship
All pilots will also find unique holiday stickers in the containers
Players do not need to enter the game every day in the specified period. If you miss a few days, you just get the ship a little later.
Attention! The last chance to get the ship is to start collecting it no later than January 7, 11 days before the end of the specified period.
All pilots will also find unique holiday stickers in the containers

Active module ‘Redeployment mechanism’
The ship changes positions with the enemy visible on the radar.
Active module ‘Energy systems destabilizer’
All opponents in range lose the ability to restore energy.
Global fleet revamp:
The UMC begins a large pre-series check of new equipment. Ships designed at the dawn of the game will receive the latest unique equipment and capabilities! New modules and weapons during the holidays can be quickly obtained with xenochips. The fleet will receive updates gradually, role by role. The ships of Command role will be the first to receive an overhaul.
Attention! We recommend that you obtain and upgrade the latest equipment as soon as possible! Purchase of experimental modules will be available only during the pre-series test. When the test concludes, the modules will be available during post-battle trophy search and in Open Space mode. We will announce the end of testing separately. Stay tuned!
The upgraded modules and ships will also help pilots get ranks faster in the upcoming new player progress system, which will be launched after the holidays. Progress through the ranks will happen in the form of a story campaign, covering a variety of game modes. Reaching a new level will give the pilot additional opportunities — new game modes, more powerful ships, weapons, modules. By raising his level the pilot will also have access to new locations in the ‘Open Space’ mode.

Ships:
Archelon:
‘Provocateur’ System
Reduced duration from 7 to 6 seconds
Radiation converter
Reduced duration from 5 to 4 seconds
Reduced cooldown from 30 to 24 seconds
Developer Commentary:
We wanted this ship to have high survivability, but the power of its modules made it too effective.
Dart:
Reduced special module effect duration by 1 second
Slightly reduced efficiency of the special module shield
Capacitor modifier:
Reduced module efficiency
Increased recharge speed
Quantum Railgun:
Damage reduced by 10%
Gargoyle:
Reduced hull durability
Disintegrator modifier:
Reduced effect on enemy weapons by 33%
Reduced rate of fire effect duration by 2 seconds
Dual-channel repeater:
Reduced effect on enemy weapons by 33%
Boson Cannon:
Damage reduced by 12%
Developer Commentary:
The ships are conceived as unique, but turned out to be not only unique but also strong, sometimes much more effective than their counterparts. Therefore, we tried to preserve the uniqueness of their modules, but also reduce their strength a little.
Thar'Ga and Tai'Kin:
Changed the maximum number of evolution points on rank 15
Developer Commentary:
On ranks 13-15, these ships received additional slots for modification compared to conventional ships, which made all other ships uncompetitive, so we brought the potential power of Ellydium closer to standard performance.

Developer Commentary:
Thar'Ga's effect on weapon resistance has been made standard. But we also slightly strengthened the Combat Reconstructor. As for Tai'Kin, activation of its modules now has an adequate price, and the camouflage shield refractor further reduces the maneuverability so that the pilot can choose between being quick and invisible.
Destroyers:
Resonance laser:
Damage reduced by 10%
G'Thar'Du:
Damage reduced by 7%
Reduced rate of fire
Missile slot ammunition:
Active time increased to 40 seconds
Recharge increased to 15 seconds for Federation and Imperial destroyers

Ships:
Jericho ships:
Shield resistance increased by 15.
Developer Commentary:
Jericho's ships began to give way to the ships of other factions in the current game conditions, it was noticed not only by us but also by the pilots. The Council of Jericho approved the financing of technologies to strengthen their defensive abilities.
Thar'Ga:
Hull and shield volume reduced by 3%
Lateral movement and turn speed reduced by 10%
Developer Commentary:
Based on the analysis of the gameplay, Thar'Ga ship had more survivability and maneuverability in battles than should have, which was knocked out of its role in the game as a "medium damager". The parameters were slightly weakened
Tai'Kin:

Ellydium engineering frigate Waz'Got. The first stage of evolution:
The newest state-of-the-art engineering frigate ‘Waz'Got’ is the quintessence of scientific thought and the result of the collective work of all the employees and scientists of the Ellydium Theta station. The frigate's incredible capabilities will provide its allies with reliable support and will give a chance of victory in battle even over superior enemy forces.
The tech used in special and active modules are a further development of advanced scientific theory, developed under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Gilmore and Conrad Dimeni. A unique feature of the ship allows it to use the wreckages of destroyed ships to enhance its own power.
Currently, the ship is available for modification from rank 5 to 8.
Debris of Destroyed Ships:
unique feature of the new ‘Ellydium’ ship Waz'Got is the ability to process and use the remains of enemy or allied ships.
Ship wreckages can be used to activate special modules, active modules and special weapons of the frigate.
The maximum amount of debris on board a frigate is 4
The first 2 fragments can be created under certain conditions directly by the frigate's crystals
The remaining debris can be found in the remains of ships destroyed in battle
Fragments are available for a limited time after the ship's destruction
The fragments are only visible and available to the commander of the frigate Waz'Got.
Ship cabin:
The cabin is the most important component of the ship. To build the ship, pilots first need to manufacture a ship cabin and obtain Xenocrystals. After construction, ‘Ellydium’ ships can be developed from rank 5 to 8 inclusive. Xenocrystals are required for the ship's upgrades.
Special ship development nodes:
Now, some development nodes o Ellydium ships can increase the permissible limit of evolution of the ship
To increase the ship's rank you need to research such development nodes
Ellydium engineering frigate Waz'Got special modules:
Pilots can choose which special module to use for the ship Waz'Got. The ship's appearance changes with the selected special module. Now the following special module is available for research:
Scavenger drones:
Picking up wreckages of destroyed ships, the engineer produces drones, attacking the enemy and repairing the ship. When activated, one of the drones rushes to its target. With the blast, the missile damages the enemies and restores hulls of nearby allies.
Other special modules of the ship will be available at the next stages of the ship's evolution.
Ellydium engineering frigate Waz'Got weapons:
WL13-EL emitter:
Type: Beam Weapon
Mounted on: Waz'Got

Spring Marathon:
We congratulate all pilots with the beginning of spring and spring holidays. For the spring break season, UMC offers a huge number of bonuses and discounts!
Star Conflict team congratulates pilots on Victory Day of the Great Patriotic War! In honour of the holiday, we have prepared a gift — special colouring scheme ‘Star Camouflage’ and a unique sticker ‘St. George's ribbon’, which will be available to all players during the Victory Day celebrations from May 8 to May 10. To do this will need to go to the ‘Bundles’ tab and select ‘Victory day’.
Ships:
A special expedition from the Erebus system provided UMC with all the information received. We remind you that the expedition was engaged in excavations of the ancient object ‘Spot’, found in the asteroid belt of the star system SY3176-GIII-A4. The discovered ancient object turned out to be a repository of old tech from the times of humanity's stellar expansion: weapons, vehicles, modules and terabytes of project documentation.
Deciphering all of the data will take some time, but the unique legendary ships Spiral and Endeavour are available to all pilots right now.
Spiral:
Modular ship
Main module class:Engineering frigate
Additional module class:Interceptor
Allegiance: Empire
Rank: 10
The space combat system ‘Spiral’ is the only representative of the legendary modular system of combat starships developed during the early stellar expansion of mankind. Blueprints and technologies of the unique modular system were lost during the formation of the Empire. The combat system has perfectly proven itself during the battles with the Revenant Order in the days of Direktorium.
The system consists of two combat modules that can function as a single unit, or separately. The detachable module can temporarily become a full-fledged interceptor, and then reconnect and use all the capabilities of the frigate.
Blueprints and technologies of the ‘Spiral’ system were lost at the end of the XXXVI century. They were rediscovered in the special facility of the ‘Spot’ object, found in the asteroid field of the star system SY3176-GIII-A4 by a special expedition from Erebus.
Special module: MiG-105:
Undocks the MiG-105 ship, ensures its invulnerability during the first seconds of the flight and transfers control to it. The carrier vehicle explodes after undocking. When the effect ends, it calls a backup carrier vehicle.
Overheating laser:
Type: Thermal weapon
Mounted on: Spiral
This weapon's projectiles are capable of speeding up the heating of enemy weapons.
Plasma Blaster:
Type: EM weapon
Ship type: Frigate (Engineering)
Powerful electromagnetic weapon. Shoots exploding plasma charges.
Active module ‘Invulnerability Projector’:
Type: Active module
Group: Engineering modules
Mounted on: Spiral
Makes the carrier and the ship of the chosen ally temporarily invulnerable and restores its shield.
Active module ‘Hyperwarp jump’:
Active module installed on the detachable part of the Spiral space system.
The ship becomes invisible and jumps forward. Invisibility can not be disabled for a certain time.
‘Shadow’ mine:
Mounted on the detachable part of the Spiral space system.
Places a mine with invisibility module. Activates when trying to get away from it, or on a timer.
Quickcharge system:
Type: CPU modifier
Mounted on: Spiral
Accelerates recharging of active modules, increasing their power consumption.
Endeavor:
Class: Guard frigate
Allegiance: Federation
Rank: 10
Guard frigate ‘Endeavour’ looks like a legendary ship from the first steps of mankind in the exploration of outer space. The ship was widely used since the middle of the 27th century during the ‘religious wars’. It proved itself well in the battles with fanatics of the so-called Fringe — the same organization that became the foundation of the church of believers in the Signal. It was ‘Endeavour’ that became an experimental model to carry the famous ‘Jumper’ — the first model of an interstellar engine of ultra-compact size.
Blueprints and technologies of ‘Endeavor’ were lost almost immediately after the adoption of the ‘Frontier Decree’. They were rediscovered in the special facility of the ‘Spot’ object, found in the asteroid field of the star system SY3176-GIII-A4 by a special expedition from Erebus.
Special module ‘Accelerating Shield’:
Continuously deals damage to enemy shields, while the speed of recharging the module decreases for each opponent. When the module is activated, the ship receives additional resistance to all types of damage and a bonus to ship speed, which gradually decreases within a few seconds.
Compression railgan:
Type: EM weapon
Mounted on: Endeavor
The damage dealt by the ship in the last few seconds increases rate of fire.
Induction Laser:
Type: Beam Weapon
Ship type: Frigate (Guard)
If you hit the target and other opponents, recharging time of the modules increases.
Phase demodulator:
Type: Active module
Group: Guard modules
Mounted on: Endeavor
All opponents in the zone forcefully mark the ship as a target. At this time, the shield charge increases significantly.
Reinforced Shield:
Type: Shield modifier
Mounted on: Endeavor
Increases shield resistance to all types of damage, while reducing the range of primary weapons.
Tech race:
April 27 to May 14, inclusive, is the time to collect unique resources for construction of the legendary ‘Lost Technology’ ships. When the stage ends, the parts can be obtained only by trading with other pilots.
Ship and weapon parts can be purchased in special bundles in the game store with special currency — Xenochips. Xenochips are added to the game for a limited time and after the end of the event will be withdrawn from the game and from the accounts of all pilots. We recommend that you spend xenochips before the end of the event.
Xenochips will be awarded to everyone taking part in the ‘Tech race’
Xenochips can be obtained by completing Broker missions in PvP mode
Xenochips can be obtained by completing special Selena Galo missions in PvE, Co-op, and Open Space.
Xenochips will be removed from the game after May 15.
Each bundle can only be purchased once, and you are guaranteed to receive.
Old friends of Cortes:
Attention to all pilots! This is the UMC special liaison Selena Galo.
Due to the fact that in recent years UMC has been working closely with Ellydium, we were contacted by the head of the Ellydium Theta Station Security Service Natasha Cortes. She requires mercenaries to destroy cartel fighters who allegedly know too much about the Cartel's common past with Ellydium. Cortesreally wanted to personally supervise this operation.
Find and destroy the cartel fighter ships, marked by Natasha Cortes in open space.
As a reward you will receive xenochips!
Tai'Kin resources:
UMC reports that the Broker missions, previously connected with obtaining the cabin of Tai'Kin ship, were fully transferred to Conrad Dimeni. By completing special missions you can purchase containers with resources for Tai'Kin for 200 iridium.
Conrad Dimeni still provides pilots with unique contracts, that can help them quickly upgrade the ship Tai'Kin. Containers are available to pilots for credits after completing the contracts.
Also, valuable resources needed to build a Tai'Kin can still be purchased by trading with other pilots.
Attention! All pilots can purchase special container bundles with a cabin and resources for the rapid upgrade of Tai'Kin ship with galactic standards.
Ships:
We continue to make balance changes in key parameters of game modes, weapons and modules. All changes have been made based on analysis of battles and statistics.
Premium ships:
Now all premium ships receive an additional bonus.
+50% to loyalty earned in battle.
Thar'Ga:
Decreased ship maneuverability.
Decreased the speed of the ship's lateral movement.
Destroyers:
Destroyers now receive less damage in close range.
A ship that flies closer than 750 m. to a destroyer deals x1.5 damage (previously x2.5) to the shield, hull and modules.
Weapons and modules:
Weapon Quantum Railgun
Damage reduced by 16%.
Reduced projectile speed.
Increased maximum scatter.
Increased heating time.
Increased cooling time.
Weapon Boson cannon:
Reduces damage of direct hits by 20%.

Damage reduced by 17%.
Special module ‘Frontal Shield’
Shield time reduced.
Module Disintegrator modifier
Reduced rate of fire boost.
Module Reflected Fury
Damage reduced by 30%.
Increased active time.
Capacitor modifier Reserve generator
Recovery time increased.
Now you can install no more than one modifier per ship.
Resources:
Improved logic of working with resources.
If one or more resources exceed the limit when scrapping a component, scrapping is blocked
After purchase, receiving rewards, etc. the pilot receives the over-limit resource in a letter
The lifetime of the letter is 24 hours from the time of sending
If the limit is exceeded when opening a resource letter, the overlimit part is sent with a new letter
If none of the resources in the message can be placed in the warehouse, then the resources from the letter are blocked
Restrictions on Resources:
Added a limit on the amount of resources for production in storage
Enriched beryllium — 500
Neodium plate — 500
Beryllium — 1000
Raw neodium — 1000
Update of current resources:
New resources will now be used nstead of Monocrystals and Alien omposite panels
Enriched monocrystal
Composite Alien block
ATTENTION! Out-of-date resources — Monocrystals and Alien Composite panels — are in player storage in full!
You can convert old resources into new ones 1:1 at any time. Conversion is free.
New materials also have a storage limit of 500 units.
Corporations:
Added intracorporate rating of earned influence points.
Rating is reset when exiting the corporation.
Sector Conquest:
Reward to corporation pilots for control over locations is increased.
The reward can be in credits, iridium, resources for construction of destroyers, xenocrystals and monocrystals.
The reward depends on the level of the location.
Now, while capturing the location, which until then was held by another corporation, the initial number of tokens increases.
Tokens are awarded only when entering the game.
Building a dreadnought:
The cost of building and improving dreadnoughts is reduced x10.
The speed of building and improving dreadnoughts has been increased x10.
Interface:
Reworked resource production window.
Changed synergy transfer display.
Miscellaneous:
A number of graphic effects has been improved.
Maximum size of the warehouse increased to 2500 seats.
Pilots who bought sets with the maximum warehouse will have its capacity increased automatically.
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug with Thar'Ga hull recovery under certain influences.
Fixed a number of obsolete texts.
Fixed a number of errors in texts.
Added recovery time display for some missions.
Fixed enemy icons in PvE mission ‘Ariadne's Thread’.
Fixed several map bugs.
Fixed a bug with damage to Thar'Ga when using ‘Resonating Crystals’.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.4.3 (Apr 11, 2017)

Cosmonautics Day:
We wish you a happy ‘Cosmonautics Day’! 56 years ago, the first human flight into space took place. In honour of this event we updated the information screens at the space stations, and space satellites replaced drones. Pilots can complete a special achievement ‘Cosmonautics Day’ and use special holiday missiles (available from April 12).
Ellydium scout interceptor Tai'Kin:
The new innovative ship, which Ellydium shipyards presented to all pilots of the fringe sectors, is the scout interceptor Tai'Kin. The ship includes all the latest scientific achievements of Ellydium laboratories, which have reached new heights in the development of Alien technology. The ship turned out incredibly fast and maneuverable.
The ship and its active modules' development was conducted by Dr. Matthew Gilmore, head of the mysterious andhighly guarded ‘Science Complex #2’ of the Ellydium Theta station. And it was supervised by Conrad Dimeni himself. Tai'Kin became the first ship that could fully use the unimaginable properties of singlet bosons for changing space-time.
Ship cabin:
The cabin is the most important component of the ship. To build the ship, pilots first need to manufacture a ship cabin and obtain Xenocrystals. After construction ‘Ellydium’ ships can be developed from rank 5 to rank 15. Xenocrystals are required for the ship's upgrades.
To build Tai'Kin you need special components, cabin and xenocrystals.
Trade:
Now buying and selling items to other players is available after participating in 50 battles.
Resource restrictions:
Added a limit on the amount of resources for production in storage.
Restrictions for different resources will be different. Information will be reflected in the interface.
Resources exceeding the limit are lost. This does not apply to resources purchased with GS as part of the bundle. The current surplus of resources that players have at the time of the patch will not expire.
If a player tries to create an item in the workshop and the limit on the created item is already reached, then the item will not be created.
Miscellaneous:
Bonus from the crew in the description of modules and weapons is not displayed.
A limit is imposed on the amount of resources a player can have.
Description of non-purchased ships now takes into account the default modules.
Optimized game client.
Improved hangar environment sounds.
Improved battle sounds.
Now ship components can be obtained only during events. Events are in constant rotation. All missions for ship components from the tree have been removed.

Weekly Tournaments:
Remembering the ancient Earth saying ‘A ship is as good as its name’ — we focused on the tournament aspect. Now the name of your team will be closer to its qualitative composition.
Holiday stickers:
Specifically for this holiday we have prepared special holiday stickers, formerly owned by an actual trucker from space. They say the stickers help when escorting caravans!
Take it easy
I'll cover you
Kick me
Bandaids won't help
Take it slow
Beware of Biomorphs
Special container with holiday stickers ‘Space Trucker Bundle’ which contains all the stickers and valuable resources is available in the ‘Bundles’ tab.
Decorate your fleet during the holidays! Together we can win!
Biomorph ships:
Pilots! Biomorphs infected technological developments of all sides of conflict. Besides weapons the greatest changes happened to Katana and Styx ships. We urge our pilots to be extremely careful when using these ships!
Game Modes:
Combat recon. We have often seen complaints that this is a poorly balanced mode, and the captains are often players with different, sometimes poorly suitable roles.
Now the captains are more likely to be selected from players on Thar'ga ship using a Thar'kth and had time to receive a minimum of 1000 damage.
And players on Long-range or Tackler ships remain captains forever if they happen to get that role.
Beacon hunt. Over the whole year, we have not received any feedback or suggestions on how to change this mode. We thought it was strange, so we decided to remove it for revision.
Survival.We see that this mode is loved by a lot of players. In this update, it was supposed to be removed, but so many threads had been created about it - more than about all the others put together - that we decided to leave it forever, and started work on introduction of similar mechanics in all modes. Increase in damage from collisions was the first step.
Domination.Sometimes a destroyer could control several beacons with a vacuum-resonant laser and gravitational lenses.The new name better correspond to the true state of affairs and no longer leads players astray. Now it is called ‘Domination of two beacons by a destroyer, until a Thar'ga reaches them.’
Team battle. In team battle mode you will always meet teams of various levels. After all, it's a team battle!
Matchmaking:
Since MM showed that determining player skill is difficult, now it clarifies player skill by asking questions in chat. This correction will fine-tune the balance of experienced pilots. And if all of a sudden a battle isn't balanced, then, alas, it is the player's fault, and MM has nothing to do with it.
However, players with low skill, obvious even for MM, will not receive this message.
Ranks:
For a long time you've been asking us to make the division of ranks 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15. And we decided to go back to this system. However, it gives an unfair advantage to powerful pilots using purple and orange modules in ships of ranks 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 versus 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, respectively. Therefore, such pilots will not be allowed to fly in the ships of these ranks, and other ships will only be available on the condition of having white modules and weapons or their complete absence.
Open Space:
For the time being there is no change, it's still being reworked.
Ships and modules:
We know how you like the new ‘Ellydium’ ship and remember how you loved destroyers. So we decided to proceed with the speedy release of the ‘Ellydium’ destroyer called Vseh'Nag'Nu.Now we're going tell you about one of its modules.
Vzu'uuh system.This module produces a black hole at the center of the area. It sucks in all objects, including asteroids and stations.
Damage - up to 5000 pts.
Range - 10 km.
Active time - 5 minutes.
If you do escape the hole in time, it will suck in your ship, and you will forever lose it.
‘Death Ray’ system. Installed on all destroyers. After activation a beam is charged for 1 minute. When the charge is finished, the planet in the background explodes.
Damage - up to 100 billion pts.
Range - the entire war zone
Recharge time - none
Energy consumption - 3,000 per sec.
Unfortunately, the power consumption will not allow you to use the system anywhere other than the ‘ELlydium’ destroyer, but you can still mount it.
Balance:
As the players began to complain about the excessive dominance of Thar'ga, we decided to change the names of all the ships to Thar'ga. Now, according to statistics Thar'ga certainly will be in the balance.
Wipe:
Before the start of a new era, we wanted to do a complete wipe of all accounts in order to equalize the chances of all players. Then we gave up on this idea, but we see that it was the wrong decision.
With this patch, all accounts will be wiped. But in compensation we will give all players players their ships, their galactic standards and other resources back. We will also return synergy, all the numbers and statistics and even the ship's position in Open Space. This minimizes discomfort for all pilots.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.4.2 (Mar 28, 2017)

Trade:
Trading rare resources is now available to all pilots! Trading between players is conducted through a separate trading chat and internal mail. Not all resources are available for trade, but only those that are approved by UMC.
All products have a minimum sale price. It will be adjusted individually for each item.
There is a limit of 20 000 GS per one transaction.
Trade and sending items to other players isavailable after participating in 200 battles.
In one deal a pilot can sell up to 3 items.
In trade chat pilots agree on the sale or purchase of resources.
The seller can post an offer in chat to sell the allowed resources from storage.
The buyer needs to right-click on the Seller in chat to initiate trade mode.
The buyer sends a message to the Seller through internal mail saying that he is interested in buying this resource.
If the buyer and the seller agree on a price for the resource, the seller shall send the buyer in an internal mail with the embedded resource.
The buyer may reject the letter received from the seller or accept the resources. The amount is automatically deducted from the buyer's account.
The message exists for 15 minutes.
All payments are carried out only in Galactic Standards.
UMC also takes a 10% tax from each transaction.
Obtaining the items:
Components for workshop and goods for trade are now available in trophy search after battle. You do not need to have ships of the maximum synergy level in combat slots.
The player can find lost cargo - containers.
The container appears in the appropriate section.
The container contains up to 5 items. They will be listed in the contents.
The container can be redeemed for Iridium over 3 hours.
When buying a container the player always receoves one of the specified items. The chances of getting particular itemss are different.
After purchase the container disappears.
The player can continue to get access to purchase of such containers in trophy search after battle.
On repeated acquisition of a container, which is already available for purchase, the availability timer is updated to 3 hours.
Information about containers available in trophy search and their contents can be found in the news. Stay tuned for updates.
Iridium:
Now you can get iridium in the following activities.
Spots with rare trophies (purple) in the search trophies after the battle in PvP, PvE and Co-op.
As a reward for owning a location in SecCon.
The final reward for the weekly tournament.
For the top places on the leaderboards.
Increased the amount of iridium obtained when dismantling parts. When disassembling parts for GS, the player can get double the amount of Iridium.
Ships:

Node ‘R12 Shield Reinforcement’ now gives a 10% bonus.
Node ‘R11 Hull reinforcement’ now gives a 10% bonus.
Weapons and modules:
We continue to analyze all battles. According to the results of statistical data analysis and testing of Thar'Ga ship parameters on the public test server we decided to make the following changes, which will improve combat balance.
New active module Reflected fury:
Rank: 5-15
Removes all negative effects and grants invulnerability
Additional: Damages all enemies, who lock the player as their target, ignoring Shield
Feature: Large ships get more damage
Compatibility: Thar'Ga
Thar'kth:
Slightly reduced damage from charge accumulation and -5% damage in general.
Thar'Ga'tok:
Reduced damage by 16%.
Alien Intuition:
Significantly reduced damage bonus.
Slightly reduced recharge.
Crystal drone:
Damage increased by 30%.
Generally, to maximize ship speed you need to use 3-5 modifiers. Fighters did not fit into the overall picture by having several unique engine modifiers at their disposal. Using at least one of them provided maximum speed without any significant penalties, while others were almost completely ignored. Therefore, the following changes were made:
Reworked ‘Cruise Engine Modification’ modifier:
Turn penalty is now 20% (previously 17%) Speed bonus is now 10% (previously 17%) Increased energy consumption by 15% (previously 20%) Power consumption of first boost activation increased by 100% Speed bonus during acceleration reduced by about 15% (different for different Mks)
‘Catalyst Injector’ modifier :
Now gives a much greater increase in speed (different for different Mks)
‘Swiftness Sphere’ modifier:
Added turn penalty (same as regular cruise speed) Maximum speed bonus is now 5% (previously 10%) Energy consumption per second +10% (previously +5%) Reduced speed bonus on acceleration (different for different Mks)

Biomorph ships:
Pilots! Traditionally at the end of March we see the rise of confrontation with the Cybers ??and Biomorphs. And this time Biomorphs were again able to infect some of the technological developments of the side of conflicts. The biggest changes were made to the ships Katana and Styx. We urge our pilots to be extremely careful when using these ships! It seems that this is not the only diversion from Biomorphs. Stay tuned!
Sector Conquest:
We continue to improve ‘Sector Conquest’. Important changes have been made based on the analysis of pilot feedback and game statistics.

As a reward pilots will get Phoenix and Reaper ship components. Attention! Starting March 22 Phoenix and Reaper ship components will no longer be available to pilots. It will only be possible to obtain them in special DLC packs in the official store or on Steam.
New SecCon:
Sector Conquest mode is getting a global update. The new version of Sector Conquest will preserve the map of locations with regular time windows for battles. Victories in battles are rewarded with loyalty vouchers. All corporation members are also awarded tokens spent on rewards for victories in combat missions.
Corporation CEOs and VPs can build and move dreadnoughts to locations with a level not higher than that of the dreadnought at any time.
Influence Points:
Corporations earn influence points for taking part in battles. They accumulate in the location where the corporate dreadnought is located, and remain there when the dreadnought is moved to a different one. Influence points are earned directly in sector battles as follows:
Depleted durability points of enemy deadnoughts. In this case, if the enemy dreadnought is completely destroyed, half the remaining durability points of the corporation's own dreadnought are also added to influence points.
Influence points are divided between players according to their total effectiveness in combat. If a player earned 0 effectiveness, he would not get points.
Influence points of players in wings and squads are added to the location with the corporate dreadnought of the wing or squad's leader.
Location for rewards is ‘stored’ when players queue for battle, and then the dreadnought can be moved further.
At the start of the battle window opening, the owner corporation loses 50% influence points, challengers lose 10% of their influence points. Location battles take 1 hour, then the owner loses part of the challengers' influence, which depends on the challenger's place in the location ranking. If the owner's influence is reduced to 0 — the challenger with the most inflience becomes the new owner.
When the battles end, the free location is taklen by the corporation with the most influence points.
Battle creation system in sector conquest:
Sector Conquest mode is available 4 times in 24 hours, as usual. By clicking on ‘Conquest’ the player joins a queue for dreadnought battles. The system creates a battle for wings, squads and individuals in the queue:
You can join the queue if the corporation dreadnought is in one of the active locations, and there are 3 ships of the location's level in slots.
Players who are not members of any corporation, can not get in the queue.
Selection of opponents takes place among those whose dreadnoughts are in the same location
The system significantly reduces waiting time for wings and all players in the queue
Players in the samecorporation can not fight against each other.
General Changes:
Location technical level on the map is now displayed with a range of ranks:
T3 -> 7-9
T4 -> 10-12
T5 -> 13-15
Display of tech level for dreadnoughts and their modules has been replaced by classes:
T3 -> 3rd class
T4 -> 2nd class
T5 -> 1st class
Dreadnought Battle:
Battle time has been reduced to 12 minutes.
Attention! Rewoked ‘Sector Conquest’ will be working in test mode for some time.
Guard ships:
Pilots! The time has come to strengthen the fleet with modified modules for guard ships! Guard ships are designed to protect your team from enemy missiles, as well as improve allied ship defences. In addition, guard ship active modules can block afterburner engines of enemy ships, and thus make them easier targets for the team.
All guard ships are now able to restore hull, if they are not in combat.
And also quickly reach the battlefield with proper use of the special module.
Special module Phase Shield:
Now further increases ship speed on activation.
Special module ‘Provocateur’ System:

Shield and hull resistance increased by 40%.
Active range extended to 2 km.
Modules:
We continue analysis of battle statistics from pilots with the first ‘Ellydium’ ships in their fleets. The data shows the need for further changes in ship parameters for ‘Thar'ga’, weapons and modules created with Alien Technology.
Alien Intuition:
Cooldown time increased by 5 seconds.
Combat Reboot no longer affects the cooldown.
Crystal hunger:
Module range is now 750 m.
Matter Absorber:

Squads and Wings:
Playing in a squad or a wing offers additional tactical possibilities in battle. It adds entertainment, pilots get more impressions from battles and they can use new and unexpected tactics. From now on forming a squad or a wing of pilots is going to be easier. You don't have to wait for a Squad invitation, and look for a suitable group yourself. And you can also open mass recruitment for your Squad or Wing.
New Squad recruitment system:
The group leader can make it open by creating a public invitation to the group.
A solo pilot can also create a public invitation. Then he becomes the group leader.
The group leader can not apply for other groups.
The invitation specifies the task for which the group is created, and the minimum ship rank.
The invitation is valid until the group goes into battle or disbands.
Any pilot can respond to the invitation to apply for membership in the group.
Pilots can submit any number of applications at the same time.
Applications are not time-limited.
Applications are cancelled if the pilot joins any group.
Applications are cancelled if the pilot creates his own group or invitation.
The leader can accept or reject the application of any pilot.
The pilot, whose application was rejected, no longer sees the same invitation.
The pilot who was expelled from the group, does not see the invitations from this group.
The pilot who was expelled from the group may join it again the usual way via a personal invitation.
Interface:
Added a special button.
Added an invitations screen where you can select the appropriate group.
Added an applications screen (for leaders), where you can receive/reject pilot applications.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.4.0 Update 1 (Dec 21, 2016)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.4.0 (Dec 20, 2016)

Station ‘Ellydium Theta’:
From the start of the invasion ‘Ellydium’ focused its activities on the study of Alien technology. Many important discoveries and technologies based on them will not only enhanced the corporation's reputation, but also greatly expanded their opportunities.
With the opening of portals into Alien worlds, the organization has been actively recruiting mercenaries to collect information on the foreign worlds and their secrets. As soon as an opportunity to gain a foothold near one of the monstrous Alien Leviathans appeared, ‘Ellydium’ leaders immediately took advantage of it. The leading specialists were sent to the area and deployed observation and defence outposts. A month later, it became clear that any new object would always attract Alien attention and would eventually be destroyed.
A new plan was deployed to solve this problem, and Dr. Conrad Dimeni took responsibility for its implementation. Development began with submerging under the surface of the Leviathan and building several compartments inside it. The project took almost half a year, and the result of a risky operation was the assembly of a unique station ‘Ellydium Theta’ on Leviathan.
Dr. Conrad Dimeni was appointed head of the station. Former legate of the Imperial Security Service Natasha Cortes was appointed head of ‘Ellydium Theta’
Security Service.:
Starting today, the new station ‘Ellydium Theta’ is available for all pilots of fringe sectors. All pilots were automatically transferred to the new station to get acquainted with all the novelties of ‘Ellydium’ corporation.
Ships:
Top of the line ships have become one of the corporation's main developments. Mercenaries first need to build the cockpit of a ship, and then build a crystalline mass around it under the supervision of ‘Ellydium’ corporation experts. To complete further evolution of ship mercenaries will need a special resource — xenocrystals.
Ellydium gun ship ‘Thar'ga’ cabin:
The newest ‘Ellydium’ corporation ships are not just manufactured in the shipyards of ‘Ellydium Theta’ station, they are actually grown around a pre-built cabin.
The cabin is the most important component of the ship. It ensures both pilot safety and comfortable controls as well as access to the incredible possibilities of new ships.
To manufacture the cabin you are going to need the following components, which can be found in attacked sectors or purchased in bundles
Alien composite panel.
Alien fighter structure.
Monocrystals.
Metal blank.
Graphite plate.
UMC announces a ‘Tech race’!:
The cabin is now available for the production to all pilots. And a bit later all mercenaries will get the opportunity to grow a full ship. This is done in order to even the odds of getting new ships for all pilots. Take part in in all missions of the Centre during the New Year holidays, play in tournaments and leagues. Be one of the first to assemble the new ship's cabin!
Everyone who participates in the ‘Tech race’ receives special game currency — Xenochips.
Xenochips can be obtained by completing missions from Miss Frost and Selena Galo.
Xenochips can be obtained by participating in tournaments.
Xenochips will be removed from the game after January 17.
The obtained xenochips can be exchanged for a special ‘Xenocontainer’ bundle where you can find xenocrystals and rare Alien alloy resources. In this bundle pilots will also get one of the special weapons from the Klauss Inc. corporation.
Xenocrystals:
A particularly valuable ingredient required for construction and modification of ships, weapons and modules created by ‘Ellydium’ corporation.
Xenocrystals can be purchased with Xenochips in the container-bundles during the ‘Tech race’. Xenocrystals were previously known as ‘Living crystal containers’. Pilots traditionally do not like long names, and shortened the name to Xenocrystals in communication with each other. As a result, this name became official.
‘Ellydium’ gunship ‘Thar'ga’:
The ship ‘Thar'ga’ became one of Ellydium's major breakthroughs. Experiments showed that crystal growth can be controlled, resulting it more than a hundred different versions of the ship for various needs. Such a dangerous and powerful technology, coupled with advanced ‘Ellydium’ projects makes ‘Thar'ga’ one of the strongest weapons of war, and the corporation paid a terrible price for it with the tragedy in block RG7 of station ‘Ellydium Theta’.
To build the ship pilots first need to manufacture a ship cabin and obtain Xenocrystals. After construction ‘Ellydium’ ships can be developed from rank 5 to rank 15. For the development of these ships you need a special resource ‘Xenocrystals’.
‘Ellydium’ ship progress tree:
Ships made by ‘Ellydium’ scientists with Alien technology may evolve under the influence of ‘Xenocrystals’.
Ship rank changes.
External ship appearance changes.
Available modules, weapons and special abilities change.
All changes to the ship are made by pilots themselves when they choose the appropriate nodes in the ship tree.
‘Ellyidum’ ship development nodes:
All development nodes in the new ship tree can be divided into several classes.
‘Special module’ node class. Allows to equip the ship with various special modules, depending on ship rank and its objectives. The ship has 5 special modules in total.
‘Blueprint research’ node class for modules, modifiers and weapons. Required for production of special modules, modifiers and weapons from ‘Ellydium’ corporation. After research the nodes will not be visible in the ship tree.
‘Basic ship characteristics’ node class. Improves guidance. Increases maximum energy reserves and its recovery speed. Increases maximum ship speed. Increases maximum hull durability. Increases maximum shield volume. Improves weapon parameters.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.3.14 (Nov 22, 2016)

Ships:
Commissioning of rank 14 destroyers significantly changed the balance of forces in the fringe sectors. The leading corporations began the race for construction of destroyers, of the new and the previous generations. Shipyards were overwhelmed with orders. The time allotted to Federation and Jericho destroyers has ended. Imperial intelligence agencies have opened all the necessary tech information required to build destroyers of the highest rank for public access. The new ships will have unique weaponry and active modules. Each destroyer is the combination of many years of experience and top tier technology of the metropolis.
Corporation ‘Ellydium’ announced their own unique projects using Alien technology. In this regard, shipyards are going to produce rank 14 Empire destroyers only for a limited time. And soon they will be repurposed for production of fundamentally new ships.
Destroyers:
With this update a new rank 14 Empire destroyer becomes available to all pilots. We remind you that destroyers are a new class of fire support ships with significant fire power that can use additional energy shields and special weapons.
All new destroyers are of the Suppressor class.
Rank 14 destroyers have 9 modifications slots.
To build 14 destroyers you need a special ingredient — Electrum.
Electrum can be obtained as a reward for completing UMC tasks.
Electrum can be obtained in special container bundles.
Electrum can be obtained as a reward during post-battle trophy search.
You also need a unique component — Empire destroyer activators.
Empire activators can be obtained as a reward for completing The Broker's tasks.
Empire activators can be obtained as a reward for sending destroyers to war via A. Gage.
Empire Destroyer Vigilant:
Class: Suppressor Class Destroyer
Allegiance: Empire
Rank: 14
A beautiful example of imperial ship production, the destroyer Vigilant was developed by order of the Inquisition, as a response to sharply increased activity of the Revenant cult. The project was personally supervised by special agent Miranda del Arte. The Inquisition is well acquainted with the activities of the Order. The two organizations that since have undergone a huge metamorphosis, faced each other in the days of the old Direktoriua. Despite the initially narrow specification, Vigilant proved to be a versatile combat machine. It was soon adopted and the blueprints have been presented to UMC.
Features of rank 14 Empire destroyers:
Accumulates 5% free synergy.
Hull durability 127 600 units.
Shield volume 18 000 units.
Capacitor charge 3 400 units.

Deals damage increasing over time. The target also loses 167 energy units per second. The module stops working if the distance to the target increase by more than 600 m.
Weapons: Vacuum resonance laser:
Unique weapon available only to Vigilant destroyer. If you keep the beam on the target for more than 1 sec., the target and all enemies within a 500 m. radius receive additional damage for 5 seconds.
Active module: Remote minelayer:
A unique active module available only to the Vigilant ship. It produces a self-propelled mine activated with a collision or on a timer. After activation the mine is invisible. Triggers if the target is moving away from it within a detonation radius of 500 meters or after 120 seconds.
CPU modifier: Vulnerability Detector:
Unique modifier available only to the Vigilant ship. Decreases resistance to damage by 30 pts. for all enemies within a radius of 2200 meters.
You can mount only one modifier of this type on a destroyer.
Jericho Destroyer Tyrant:
Jericho rank 14 Destroyer Tyrant is no longer available for construction. All shipyards will focus on the production of only one type of rank 14 destroyers. At the moment it is the imperial destroyer Vigilant.
Tyrant destroyer is discontinued.
Existing destroyers will stay with their owners.
Destroyer conversion remains available.
Unique special module: Warp Reflector for Tyrant
Cooldown time increased from 5 sec. to 7 sec.
Changes to Destroyer and destroyer module parameters:

Improved several visual effects.
Bug fixes:
Fixed descriptions of some modules.
Fixed animation of Gauss cannons.
Fixed various bugs on maps.
Fixed double image on the integrated graphics Intel HD 500 (Skylake).

New in Star Conflict Client 1.3.13 (Nov 2, 2016)

Ships:
Despite the fact that Alien pressure in fringe sectors declined significantly, the situation remains critical. Communication with the metropolises is basically lost. We receive fragmented signals from the inhabited worlds. According to the information received, Aliens dealt their main blow to the core worlds of Empire, Federation, and Jericho. Some systems, apparently were lost completely. There is no communication with the capital systems. We only managed to receive signals from the border areas and surviving military bases.
The surviving military units were able to pass the blueprints and charts for rank 14 destroyers, as well as unique new weapons and active modules. Unfortunately, shipyards can be focused on the production of only one type of rank 14 destroyers.
Documentation fro destroyers has also been transferred from Jericho area. Its rank 14 destroyer is already available to pilots!
Other new ships and destroyers will be available to pilots once all the necessary documentation is received in full.
Destroyers:
With this update a new rank 14 Jericho destroyer becomes available to all pilots. We remind you that destroyers are a new class of fire support ships with significant fire power that can use additional energy shields and special weapons.
All new destroyers are of the Suppressor class:
Rank 14 destroyers have 9 modifications slots.
To build 14 destroyers you need a special ingredient — Electrum.
Electrum can be obtained as a reward for completing UMC tasks.
Electrum can be obtained in special container bundles.
Electrum can be obtained as a reward during post-battle trophy search.
You also need a unique component — Jericho destroyer activators.
Jericho activators can be obtained as a reward for completing UMC tasks.
Jericho Destroyer Tyrant:
Class:Suppressor Class Destroyer
Allegiance: Jericho
Rank:14
The first Jericho destroyer, Tyrant was created in XLII century, shortly before the third Bartle sector war. It was created under the watchful eye of the Oracles to oppose the imperial Invincible. The powerful Tyrant was used in conjunction with low-tonnage vessels during raids on undefended colonies deep in the rear of the former ‘Direktorium’. Despite the age of the destroyer, most of its parameters are up to modern standards, and in some ways even surpass them.
Features of rank 14 Jericho destroyers:
Accumulates 5% free synergy.
Hull durability 81 000 units.
Shield volume 48 000 units.
Capacitor charge 3 600 units.
Faster shield regeneration (+90 units per second) compared to destroyers of other factions.
Reduced energy costs for activation of ‘Static field’ compared to other factions.
Additional bonuses for increasing synergy level.
Upon reaching level 2: increased resistance to kinetic damage.
Upon reaching level 4: choose one of three during assembly.
Upon reaching level 8: choose one of three during assembly.
Special module: Warp-reflector:
Accumulates charge when receiving damage. When activated, the charge dels significant damage to enemies within 3 250 m. Not more than 1 target can receive damage from one activation. Damage depends on target size. The bigger the target, the more damage it receives. At the same time the destroyer's shield is partially restored.
Weapons: Thermoactive weapon:
Unique weapon available only to Tyrant destroyer. Inflicts kinetic damage and increases the chance of critical damage as the weapon heats up. The closer the gun to overheating — the higher the chance of critical damage.
Active module: Isotope Harvester:
Unique module available only for Tyrant ship. A special drone generates a field with 500 m. radius.

Ships:
We can see Aliens easing the pressure in all the main areas of conflict. Routes to internal areas have been partially restored. The information network is still unstable. Several commercial companies are going to organize charter flights to Metropolis shortly. Fringe sectors are still in the Aliens' area of attention.
Metropolis is providing all pilots with new ships. Including rank 14 destroyers! As well as unique new weapons and modules. New ships and destroyers will be available to pilots when the Metropolis receives all the necessary documents. At the moment, only the Federation provided the documentation. And its ships, including a rank 14 destroyer are already available to pilots!
Destroyers:
With this update a new rank 14 Federation destroyer becomes available to all pilots. We remind you that destroyers are a new class of heavy fire support ships with significant fire power that can use additional energy shields and special weapons.
All new destroyers are of the Suppressor class.
Rank 14 destroyers have 9 modifications slots.
To build these destroyers you need a special ingredient — Electrum.
Electrum can be obtained as a reward for completing UMC tasks.
Electrum can be obtained in special container bundles.
Federation destroyer Sirius:
The first ‘public’ Sirius destroyer was designed and developed in the mega-popular show ‘The Shipyad’, whose ratings broke all records. Thirty engineers competed for six months for the right to be called ‘King of the Shipyard’, the outcome was decided by viewer voting. Military leadership initially could not believe the success of the project, but gave permission to use one of its shipyards, when producers collected the required amount of credits on a crowdfunding platform. To everyone's surprise, Sirius was not only a high-quality ship, powerful and reliable machine, but at also relatively inexpensive to manufacture. After the show, Sirius was put into service, and its blueprints were submitted to UMC. Currently, the producers are raising money for a second season of the project.

Fringe sectors. System: Procyon. Position: Smugglers Hideout.
Fringe sectors. System: Mezza. Position: Sorting Facility.
Ships:
UMC engineers continue to upgrade the most popular and sought-after mercenary ships. Now all pilots with Styx, Hyena and Sword-S ships can choose different specialized modules for these ships before battle.
Alternative special modules can be assembled by collecting a special resource — special module components.
To build a special module you need original components of the special module.
Special module components can be obtained as a reward by performing special tasks.
Required ship components are available in special container-bundles.
Styx:
Invincible Legion assault squadrons' frigate. Achieved great results in combat against Aliens and during corporate conflicts. These frigates are usually used by leaders of patrol squadros as a means of support and escort for interceptors. This tactic is used by of the Emperor's personal fleet.

Alien Tech:
Corporation ‘Ellydium’ has achieved remarkable success in the study of Aliens. Now they are starting an ambitious new project to develop a weapon based on technology of so-called Crystallids. To complete the prototypes they need field data. UMC has received new contracts from the ‘Broker’. Pilots will receive unique weaponry created with Crystallid tech for completing special tasks! Pilots will also learn many secrets of Aliens, previously hidden in the secret archives of the Empire, Federation, and Jericho.
Alien Tech: Special Ammunition:
Not so long ago corporation ‘Ellydium’ made a breakthrough in the study of so-called ‘live crystals’ that Aliens are using to grow... create almost all of their designs. This is an extremely valuable material and participation in ‘Ellydium’ project will give you the opportunity to create more complex devices based on it. In the meantime, use the ‘live crystals’ to create resonating ammunition.
Broker's mission:
Pilots need to manufacture one of the types of resonating ammunition in the Workshop
Resonating crystal;
Resonating charges;
Resonating slugs.
Resonating ammunition:
Special ammunition from Ellydium corporation developed with data obtained from Crystallid tech research.
Increases damage to Alien ships by 100%.
Increases damage to other ships by 7%.
Alien Tech: Weapon system research:
The organization ‘Ellydium’ is known for its interest in Alien tech. The first practical result of this interest is resonant ammunition that's very effective against the Aliens. But to jump from ‘inventing gunpowder’ to building a machine gun, my employer requires statistical data on the use of resonant weapons on heavy weapon platforms.
Broker mission:
Eliminate 3 enemy ships in PvP using destroyer weapons equipped with resonating ammunition. Destroyer weapon selection depends on the day
Day 1. You need to use Meson Cannon.
Day 2. You need to use Coilgun.
Day 3. You need to use ‘Halo’ launcher.
Alien Tech: Weapon platform upgrade:
‘Ellydium’ corporation — is interested in science. And weapons. One of the corporation's latest projects is dedicated to unification of human and Alien technology. For this reason, we need not only statistical data on the use of Alien tech, but also the data on our own technology.
Broker mission:
Eliminate 4 destroyers in PvP.
Ellydium research progress:
Ellydium corporation divided its research of Crystallid technology into stages. All Broker missions are directly related to research of the current Ellydium project. You can estimate its status with the special project progress-bar, shown to all pilots in the hangar.
Pilots see current project name in the hangar.
Pilots can see the active project's number in the hangar.
Active project research status can be estimated with the help of a progress bar around the icon.
When the bar is full, project completion is imminent, along with rewards for all participants.
Miscellaneous:
Improved display of missions divided into smaller tasks.
You can now see current task progress.
Improved weapon positioning on several ships.
Several AI-controlled ships in PvE missions now have unguided missiles.

If you fly only the appropriate ships into battle, the chance of getting the required components will be maximized.
If you do not take any appropriate ships into battle, the chance of getting a premium ship component is nil.
Premium ship Phoenix:
Pirate engineers did their best to create this ship. Initially, it had been a Styx, although it's hard to be sure. Phoenix was equipped with custom engines, improved power supply system and a stronger hull. The ship bridge was widened and equipped with a larger panoramic screen. This ship is not welcome in the Imperial areas, because these machines are used by pirate leaders leading the largest raids.
Allegiance: Empire
Class: Frigate
Role: Engineer
Rank: 8
Updated appearance
Weapons and modules of ‘Phoenix’:
Special module: ‘Phoenix’ Drones
‘Phoenix’ will also receive an extension of special module functions. Pilots can now assemble an alternative special module for their ship. They will need special components, obtained from special tasks in the game. You can also buy components with special bundle containers. Special module summons drones that can switch between attack and repair modes. In Repair mode drones restore not only shields but also hull of the host ship and its allies. And in Attack mode they mostly attack enemy ships. Their projectiles also have embedded ‘Matter disintegrators’, reducing resistance of the enemy's hull to all types of damage.
Drones with manual Attack/Repair mode switch.
Attack the locked target.
Restore shield and hull.
Drone projectiles reduce hull resistance to all damage.
Alternative special module can be assembled by procuring a special resource — ‘Special module components’.

Links shield to a ‘connected’ ally.
The link works in direct view of the ally.
Increases critical hit chance.
Ally selection for support modules:
You need to select an allied ship for the modules to work.
You can only select allies when an appropriate module is installed.
With auto-selection enabled the closest ally is automatically picked.
With auto-selection disabled, pressing ‘lock target’ selects an ally or enemy closest to the crosshairs (through regular algorithm).
Ally selection is always instant.
The selected ally is shown in the HUD.
Module activation is only possible if the selected ally is in range.
Choosing an ally is also possible when using masking modules (‘Adaptive Camo’, ‘EM Scattering Field’, Special module ‘Chameleon’).
Premium ship Reaper:
An extremely powerful frigate of unknown modification, previously owned by a pirate baron who terrorized the fringe Federation sector. The best pilots of the Federation were sent to destroy this impressive ship, but no one returned alive. After a number of intelligence operations, its design and weaknesses in the hull have been discovered. As a result, the Baron was destroyed together with the ship. Now, some shipyards can assemble copies of the legendary ship.

Ships:
Added new premium ships. New ships have unique design and special modules.
New ships can be built from a special resource — ship components.
Assembly requires original components of the ship you want to build.
Ship components can be obtained in PvP, PvE as well as CO-OP through ‘Trophy search’ after battles.

The more fitting ships you take into battle, the higher your chance to get ship components after the battle.
If you don't take a single fitting ship into battle, there is no chance of obtaining a premium ship component.
Brokk:
Brokk is a project of the Shipyards of Earth, one of the top-3 engineering frigates of the century. The project's lead designer was able to create an Engineering vessel just as effective as its Federation peers, and at the same time maintaining high firepower traditional for imperial ships. According to rumours, the renowned ship designer started the project's development ‘on a dare’ having heard unflattering remarks about the effectiveness of Garm and Minotaur from his Federation colleagues. To confirm this theory many cite the name of the ship, similar to the name of a dwarf, who according to an ancient legend, won a bet and sewed a god's mouth.
Role: Engineering
Allegiance: Empire
Rank: 13
Special module: ‘Gremlin’ Drones:
Special ship module launching drones that protect and repair the ship. Drones can also restore ally shields in the direction of the crosshairs not further than 3500 m. from the ship. All enemy devices are also destroyed in this zone.
When activated, the drone fires a beam in the direction of the crosshairs.
This beam destroys all enemy devices (drones, stations, etc.) and restores ally hulls and shields.
Weapon: WL13 Emitter:
Beam weapon. Deals thermal damage. If the beam hits allies, restores their shield and hull.
Significant energy drain in ally repair mode.
Fits: Brokk.
Faction: Legion.
Stingray:
Even before the Quarantine Memorandum, Federation military captured a ship committing sabotage of a strategic warehouse in Erebus system. The investigation was unable to establish the identity of either the pilot or the shipyard-manufacturer of his unique attack aircraft. The military passed the ship to Scott en Cott Corporation for design analysis and further production. For elegance and high efficiency in battle this ship has been named Stingray, in honour of Earth's rare animals — stingrays that can kill with lightning-fast strikes of their tail.
Role: Gunship
Allegiance: Federation

Launches a wave of spacetime distortion. Affected ships lose hull durability.
Destroyers lose a fixed amount of hull durability.
Other ship roles lose a percentage of hull durability.
The module can ignore ship shields.
Fits: Stingray.
Faction: Armada.
Archelon:
The idea of creating a guard frigate had been on the minds of Federation engineers for a long time. The best specialists spent days in laboratories and test sites around the clock to find a solution. During research by General Reactors corporation the engineers managed to develop a unique power distribution system for the ship's shields. However, a new concept called for a fundamentally different design and characteristics of the ship. All the little pieces of the project finally came together when the leading designer of Dry Lab corporation joined the team.
Role: Guard
Allegiance: Federation
Rank: 7
Special module: ‘Provocateur’:
Forcibly makes your ship the target of all enemies in a certain radius. Increases resistance to all types of damage.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.3.4 (Mar 24, 2016)

Trophy search in PvP, PvE and Co-op:
From now on, in PvP, PvE and Co-op modes in ‘trophy search’ after the battle you can find such rare resources as neodium and beryllium needed for construction of ships.
Resource level now depends on all ships taken into battle
Starting with rank 6 any ships can get resources required for ship manufacturing in post-battle trophy search
MkIV Upgrade kits will only appear for ships with maximum synergy level
Ships with maximum synergy level can also get the following resources in battles:
Monocrystals (For maxed ships starting with rank 7)
Neodium (For maxed ships of rank 8)
Beryllium (For maxed ships of rank 11)
The number of trophy search attemps has been reduced to 2 in Co-op mode. Players with premium licenses still get two additional attempts
Thus, players can get all resources required for manufacturing destroyers by playing all the game modes: PvP, PvE and Co-op
Resources:
Changed the way of obtaining resources for destroyer manufacturing
Increased ore requirements for plates:
One beryllium plate now requires 10 ore units
One neodium plate now requires 10 ore units
All players with neodium and beryllium ore in storage at the moment of update will have their ore reserves increased proportionally.
Destroyers:
UMC engineers are offering new repair drones for your destroyers! Pilots can now use repair drones instead of static barriers. After launching the drone starts to restore the hull of the damaged destroyer or an ally within a radius of 300 meters from the destroyer.
Heavy repair drones are available to all rank 8 and rank 11 destroyers
Heavy repair drones can be installed in the slot for rocket ammunition instead of a static barrier.
Heavy repair drones are active for one battle
Sector conquest:
With this update we are significantly changing the system of rewards for participation in corporate battles in ‘Sector conquest’. Now rewards are given out not through game-mail, but for active participation in PvP battles. Each corporation pilot must now choose a reward and get it after winning a PvP battle.
Rewards are now handed out through a special token system. Every day, every pilot will be able to receive the reward as many times as there are tokens in locations owned by his corporation. To receive the reward, the pilot has to select a location on the ‘Corporation battles’ map. Then you have to win a PvP battle for any location of the same rank or higher than the selected one. Each victory spends one token and gives the pilot a reward from the chosen location. Each pilot can only see their personal tokens on the map. If a pilot uses all tokens — this is his maximum daily reward.
Each player has to select a location from the ones belonging to his corporation
It can also be selected on the corporation battles map
This is also where you can see rewards from locations
Each location has special tokens
Pilot need to fight in PVP mode and win a battle. The battle can be in any location, but not below the rank of the selected location on the map
You can take turns throughout the day with multiple locations, participate in battles in PvP mode and receive rewards assigned to locations while you have tokens.
A token is spent after battle only if the pilot wins and gets a reward
Each location owned by a corporation gives its pilots a limited number of special daily tokens. In corporation battles map's location information you can always see how many tokens you have at the moment. You can only get rewards from a location if you have a valid token. Each location offers pilots a different number of tokens. The number of tokens depends on location durability
If a location has 0-25 durability pts., you get 1 token per day
If a location has 25-50 durability pts., you get 2 tokens per day
If a location has 50-75 durability pts., you get 3 tokens per day
If a location has 75+ durability pts., you get 4 tokens per day
In the future, the number of daily tokens available for corporation pilots may be changed depending on the number of owned locations, the player's rank, corporation level and other parameters.
Co-op mode:
Important changes have been made to Co-op mode. It is now available to a larger number of pilots flying at different ranks. And in the battles you will now be able to meet destroyers under AI control:
Co-op mode is now also available for rank 10-12 pilots
Co-op battles from rank 6 to rank 12 will have AI-controlled destroyers

Empire destroyer ‘Brave’:
Destroyer ‘Brave’ was developed by a team of talented civil engineers commissioned by the Ministry of Defense of the Empire. The design bureau had initially planned to deal only with projects for peaceful times. Unfortunately, in a state of war the Empire was not ready to allow such spending. Engineers had to resort to various tricks — they combined their civil projects with the development of the new destroyer. This made the Empire reconsider its spending. The project was a success. The new destroyer passed all the tests with flying colours and was swiftly adopted. To the delight of pilots the destroyer had a comfortable cabin, just like civilian ships.
Features of Imperial rank 11 destroyers
Hull durability 108 000 points
Shield volume 16 500 points
7% higher main weapon damage (by Imperial standards)
Additional bonuses with synergy levels
Upon reaching rank 2: Increased resistance to thermal damage
Upon reaching rank 4: Increased hull resistance to one of damage types
Upon reaching rank 8: Additional support class bonuses
Federation destroyer ‘Antares’:
‘Antares’ destroyer’s history is tightly linked with the name of Amir Gregory, founder and chief designer of the corporation FME (Federation Mining Equipment). Commonly known as a genius of his time and a staunch pacifist, he created exclusively civil engineering vehicles, adapted to the most extreme conditions. In the early days of the invasion Amir's family and many workers were rescued by his corporation through the intervention of the Armada. In gratitude, the brilliant designer created his first and only combat machine. Named after Amir’s native system the destroyer ‘Antares’ has become a real pride of the Federation fleet.
Features of Federaton rank 11 destroyers
Hull durability 81 000 points
Shield volume 33 000 points
20% higher speed compared to other factions
15% higher turn speed compared to other factions
Can activate 3 ‘Static Field’ objects instead of 2 like other destroyers
Increased energy base reserves and regeneration speed compated to destroyers of other factions
Additional bonuses with synergy levels
Upon reaching rank 2: Increased resistance to EM damage
Upon reaching rank 4: Increased critical hit chance / critical damage / regular damage
Upon reaching rank 8: Additional support class bonuses
Jericho destroyer ‘Sibyl’:
Originally designed for protection of Jericho temples, the destroyer ‘Sibyl’ always had two functions: military and religious. In fact, it can be a place of worship, a religious symbol. All its design meets the strict requirements of the ancient manuscripts on shipbuilding. Perhaps due to Bartle’s divine will, or maybe because of the genius designers of the past, Sibyl still is an effective Jericho combat ship. Many pilots consider its emergence on the battlefield a blessing.
Features of Jericho rank 11 destroyers
Hull durability 75 500 points
Shield volume 44 000 points
Faster shield regeneration (+85 points per second) compared to destroyers of other factions
Reduced energy drain of ‘Static Field’ compared to destroyers of other factions

Destroyer modules:
Rank 11 destroyers can use modules of the previous generation as well as brand new modules built specifically for rank 11 suppressor class ships.
Photon Emitter:
A combat module for suppressor class destroyers that creates a stream of active particles. A compact cloud of these particles can travel up to 70 000 m.
Available starting with rank 11
Its explosion creates an unstable zone in space
The ships that fall into this zone lose hull resistance to EM damage.
The effect stacks
Gravitational Lens:
A combat module for suppressor class destroyers. It creates a deadly gravitational anomaly and damages hulls of all ships closer than 1250 m. to the anomaly. This is an extremely powerful combat module, incredibly effective against large concentrations of enemy ships. Has significant power requirements and long recharge times.
Available starting with rank 11
Creates a deadly gravitational anomaly, attracting all the ships in radius
Anomaly damages hulls of all nearby ships bypassing shields
Damage is extremely high in the eye of the anomaly
Blaster turret and Plasma turret:
Changes also affect modules designed for destroyers of the previous generations.
Available starting with rank 8
A priority target for turrets is now the target locked by the ship
If the locked target is out of range, turrets pick the target on their own
‘Shield Havoc’ module:
‘Shield Havoc’ is now available to all pilots. Previously, the module was available only to those pilots who have successfully completed special tasks from Miranda Del Arte during the Halloween celebrations.
Module fits command fighters of rank 7 and higher
A ‘hot spot’ appears where the target is located. In 4 seconds all the ships in the hot spot's range start losing 9.1% of their shield charge per second for 7 seconds.
All ships in range are affected

These ships no longer have the module effectiveness bonus
They now have a module cooldown bonus instead
Changes affected the following ships:
Swarm
Tempest
Dvergr Knight
King Nibelun
Leonina
Swift Eagle
Phaser's energy sphere
The slow phaser sphere now takes into account the size of the target and deals more damage to large ships, but less to interceptors, small objects and destroyer modules

It can also be received as reward for reaching certain ranks.
And in special bundle containers.
Imperial destroyer ‘Invincible’:
The ‘Invincible’ line of ships was built during the second war for Bartle sector and has been continuously refined since. These faithful ‘workhorses’ of the Imperial Spacefleet were widely used for fire support during offensive operations. Military doctrines change, fleets are upgraded, but Invincible always remain in the ranks. Over the years of production and operation over forty different models and numerous modifications of the destroyer have been produced. The latest model of Invincible is deservedly considered the strongest link in the modern Imperial fleet.

Federation destroyer ‘Procyon’:
Only six months after Sol-X Inc’s bankruptcy it was revealed that the corporation had been spying on Federation shipyards in favour of the Empire. By that time an incredibly valuable database with all the information about the Federation ships was sold at an auction. The buyer, a private investor, was soon pronounced dead under mysterious circumstances. Further fate of the Sol-X database is unknown. Recently, a previously unknown Procyon corporation presented the eponymous destroyer. Despite the fact that most experts are inclined to believe that Procyon was built thanks to the Sol-X databases, the authorities were unable able to present the corporation any charges. With its high-tech destroyer, the corporation has easily won the state tender.

Jericho destroyer ‘Archon’:
Archon destroyer was first used in a battle against Aliens in 4616, the Mendez family. The appearance of the prototype on the battlefield caused heated debate. The destroyer’s design was strongly reminiscent of the works by great master Arthur Liu, killed in the ‘Monolith’ crash.The surviving members of the Liu family accused Mendes of stealing. However, the Board of families awed by the destroyer’s tremendous power did not listen to them. After the Mendes demarche and their exodus to quarantine sectors Archon became the basis of their fleet’s strike force.

Added new system ‘Ydra’:
A long time ago this system was the Federation's forward outpost for far sector exploration. It housed mining stations for all sorts of ores, large industrial complexes, and served as a logistical hub. Federation also owned a number of shipyards here. However in the final decade before the invasion, this region stopped being profitable — all the mines were quickly depleted and the long trading routes started attracting too many pirates. Federation immediately stopped all activity and sold its assets to private investors and corporations. Evacuation of valuables and station disassembly was never finished, and the system was added to the Quarantine Zone.
Complex Naberia-392:
Previously the factory complex on Naberia was involved in production of equipment for asteroid mining. It was used to build mining and transport ships, produce precise measuring devices and plasma drills. A powerful igneous power plant provided power plant and all of the nearby mines. About fifty years ago, ore mining in the region became unprofitable, and the Federation ceased all operations. The factory was closed and sold at an auction.
Location is situated in restricted sectors on the border between Empire and Federation
System: Ydra
Minimum ship rank: 7
Station protection: unavailable
‘Northstar’ Crash Site:
An ancient service station, lost in low orbit of the planet Naberia-526, that would have remained abandoned, if it were not for an emergency. Robert Artego, captain of the dreadnought ‘Northstar’ made an emergency landing there. Artego hoped to find means of communications at the station and request assistance. His ship, damaged in battles with Aliens and then with the Pirates, made a hard landing. For years, no one knew about the fate of ‘Northstar’, until its crash site was discovered by raiders.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.2.4 Update #1 (Dec 1, 2015)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.2.3 (Nov 12, 2015)

Star Conflict Leagues:
The new mode is open to teams with a small number of pilots. Teams from SCL tournaments can face each other during the season, raising or lowering their rating. The test version of SCL for public access is only going to show the rating and the team's place in the standings, while players within the team will be able to see the number of games played and the number of battles won. To learn more about the new SCL mode visit our dev blog.
Teams:
The process of creating teams is the same as with creating corporations, except that it's free
A team can have up to 6 pilots
The pilot who created the team is assigned leadership
A pilot can only lead one team
A pilot can only be on one team
Only the leader can invite and kick pilots
Team leadership can't be transferred to any pilot
Each team has its own rating depending on battle results
Battles:
There are certain timeframes for battles in SCL. Battles are held every day during the following hours: 0.00-1.00, 2.00-3.00, 6.00-7.00, 8.00-9.00, 10.00-11.00, 12.00-13.00, 14.00-15.00, 17.00-18.00, 22.00-23.00 (all times in UTC)
Pilots will get special notifications on battle start
Battles will be held with ships of ranks 13-15.
During the testing period 4 pliots from each team can participate in battles
Each pilot has to equip at least 3 combat slots with ships
The team forms a wing for each battle
Wings join a special queue
Only team leader can add a team to the queue
Special conditions
Breaking game rules on general servers may lead to bans on any team actions: joining battles or changing roster
Rank system:
The game now has a new matchmaker that forms teams based on ship ranks. Ship equipment mechanics have also been reworked. You can learn more about the new matchmaker and module system in our dev blog.
Only ships of two neighbouring ranks can join the same battle
Balance is calculated based on the highest-ranked ship in combat slots
Battles have a mandatory condition of having the same number of high- and low-ranked ships in each team.
Ship restrictions
Allowed difference between the highest and the lowest-ranked ship in one's combat slots has been reduced to 3 ranks
Added module ranks
Now each weapon and each module has its own rank range
Each ship can only be equipped with weapons and modules of appropriate ranks (rank ranges are individual for each module and weapon)
Modules of inappropriate ranks installed before the update have been dismounted and placed in storage
Changed ship survivability progress
Ships will be getting a large part of their maximum possible survivability on the first synergy levels. Besides, total survivability has been increased for most ships, yet survivability for rank 14-15 ships remains the same.
PvP:
Wings of 3 or 4 players had a significant effect on game balance, a solo player had little chance to put up any kind of resistance regardless of his skill.
That's why 3-man and 4-man wings no longer have access to PvP modes
Such wings can move to the game mode that requires teamwork skills built specifically for them. This is the aforementioned SC Leagues mode.
Wings of this size can still access the following game modes: Special Operation, PvE, Sector Conquest, Weekend Tournaments, Open Space
PvE:
Mission Fire support
Increased cruiser missile turret damage
Other
New PvE missions now show tips from non-player characters, similar to messages in Open Space.

A new challenge for mercenaries is an encounter with the Destroyer, an incredibly strong Alien ship that recently appeared in the frontier sectors. The Destroyer deserves its name since its aim is the destruction of the advanced outposts of humanity's armed forces. Stopping it is going to be extremely difficult. Its weapons are capable of destroying even the most fortified outposts in our zones. This is a new challenge to all the mercenaries of the third, fourth and fifth technological level. Only truly strong groups can stop the Destroyer.
Don't let the Destroyer blow up the outposts in the zone

New PvE mission ‘Defence Contract’
An exciting adventure for pilots is a new PvE mission ‘Defence Contract’. Players will defend the location ‘Colonization Hub’ from the invasion of large pirate fleets. The regular army is pinned down fighting with Aliens, and therefore, there is no one to stop the pirates! You are our last hope, mercenaries!
You have to stop the raider invasion
Raiders attack in waves. In different waves you can meet all sorts of different raider types
When you defeat all the Raider waves, you're going to have to destroy a very powerful and well-protected Cruiser
Invasion mode:
Added new location ‘Monolith Ruins’
It is unknown what caused the destruction of the city: a joint attack of other families, self-destruction or action of some third party. At one point the family Liu was crushed, and Jericho lost their main sanctuary. The disaster area was immediately closed to all flights, and a few years later it was attached to the trilateral memorandum on quarantine zones. Only recently, at the initiative of Mendes Family Jericho decided to allow the flights to the Monolith for mercenaries.
Location is situated in Jericho zone, Antaress system
Minimum ship rank: 10
Station protection: inactive
Added new location Sanctuary:
‘The greatest discovery in the history of mankind’ — this is how the ruins of Precursor civilization in Troy are described.

Mass update testing:
Anyone can now take part in testing of the upcoming updates. Servers will be available for a limited time — do not miss the announcements.
You will have to copy your account to the testing server
Tools for copying are built into the game client
Weapons:
Kinetic Supercharger:
This type of weapon proved to be ineffective in battles, so we decided to change the following parameters:
Damage increased by 10%
Shrapnel cloud damage increased to 10%
Coil Mortar:
Changes to Coil Mortar were brought due to its high concentration in battles.
Detonation activation range reduced by 20%
Explosion radius reduced by 16%
RF Blaster:
We decided to increase RF Blaster's effectiveness without tweaking its damage.
Heating rate reduced by 63%
Cooling speed reduced by 25%

Damage increased by 20%
Projectile speed reduced by 8%
Range increased by 17%
Heating rate reduced by 42%
Beam Cannon:
This weapon wasn't effective enough in battle, so we decided to increase its damage.
Damage increased by 4%

To rule out total control of beacons with this weapon, we decided to do the following:
Damage to ships in proximity increased by 27%
Required range to ships in proximity reduced by 14%
Duration of damage to nearby ships reduced by 50%
Instances of damage to nearby ships increased by 100%
Anomaly Generator:

Т1: speed reduced by 5%
Т3: speed increased by 7%
Т4: speed increased by 10%
Т5: speed increased by 15%
Cruise missile:
Using data from extensive testing, we decided that missiles lack overall damage.

Radioactive cloud damage increased by 33%
Detonation delay reduced by 30%
Can no longer be taken down by Missile Shield. Low amount of missiles in a cassette and susceptibility to Missile Shield made them nearly useless..
Plasma missiles:
These missiles used to be ineffective due to low velocity and prevalence of EM resistance modules.
Damage increased by 15%
Missile speed increased by 8%
Slowing missiles:
Testing proved that missile velocity needs to be increased.

In passive mode module starts working when the ship appears on the battlefield
Active mode is activated by pressing the corresponding button
Enhanced effect:
Several active modules can now use surplus energy to increase their effectiveness:
If the ship has more energy than the module requires:
If surplus energy exceeds the threshold, the difference is used to enhance the active effect
If surplus energy is below the threshold, active effect is not enhanced
Threshold value is a module's parameter
Heavy guard drone:
Tackler pilots can now utilise module panel to track their drone's activity.
Module icon now flickers while the drone is active

Changing module mechanics is connected to large amounts of energy not used by the ship. This is why we decided to increase shield resistance using the power core.
Module has ‘Enhanced effect’
Nanodrone cloud:
Apart from passive hull regeneration, module can now restore hull for the owner or his allies. Regeneration depends on energy left in ship reserves
Module now has two modes
Ally hulls are restored in both modes

Achilles:
The new attack aircraft was made ??by the same team of scientists and technicians, who had previously worked on Phobos in industrial centres of the Warden Order. The latest data on the alien technology was used, which allowed to significantly strengthen the hull and shield, as well as to increase maximum power of the generator.
Unlike Phobos, Achilles has 4 active combat modules and a special combination of unique bonuses to hull and shield resistance.
Class: Fighter
Role: Gunship
Side: Empire
Level: Т3
Rank: 9
Hyena:
Federation Scientists put together the best of the rank 7 ships Silent Fox and Wolf. The new fighter was designed for experienced pilots, who can use the ship’s potential to the max. And the use of Alien tech allowed to further strengthen the ship’s defences.
The ship has four active modules and a set of additional bonuses.
Class: Fighter
Role: Tackler
Side: Federation
Level: Т3
Rank: 9
Modules:
Aside from new ships, we also continue working on new modules. Alien tech was also a huge influence on their creation.
Extended Hull
Useful for those who love hauling trophies from open space. The main bonus is the cargo hold increase. Additionally, ships equipped with Extended Hull get additional hull strength increase in all game modes.
The module is available from the third tech level and can be installed on a ship of any role that has the corresponding slot.
Increases hull strength
Adds three spaces to cargo hold
Multiple modules can be installed
Cargo hold space limit is 9 spaces
Can only be purchased for Galactic Standards
Holograms:
This battle module is suited for recon interceptors. Starting with level T3, scouts can use this module is to mislead the enemy. This will greatly increase survivability of a ship in combat. The main feature of the module is producing two illusions of the player's ship
Holograms have durability and mimic the pilot's activity
Target lock is disrupted when holograms activate
Missiles already in flight also lose target focus
Holograms explode and deal damage upon destruction
System Hack:
Used to hack and gain control of enemy objects. ECM interceptors can now use this module to gain control of game objects belonging to the enemy team.
Gains control of enemy objects:
All drones except for engineer's combat drones
Warp gate
Repair and charge stations
Any mines
Hacked objects belong to the hacker
Hacked objects keep functioning
Objects earn effectiveness for the hacker
Objects self-destruct after 20 seconds
Hack does not prolong object active time
Hack applies to all objects in radius
Already hacked objects can be intercepted
Only enemy objects can be hacked
Balancing pass has been done on Inertial Stabilizer
Strafe speed boost reduced by 16%
General:
Gameplay:
A number of states now disrupts beacon capture:
Invisibility
Overload
Stasis
Metastable field
Sensor suppression
All battle start times are now displayed for zones
If several locations in a zone have different battle start times, they will all be displayed
Wings of different sizes can now get into dreadnought battles
Minimum number of pilots in a wing: 4
You can now build dreadnought modules without a dreadnought in dock
Reworked the system that prevented wings or squads from getting into battle because of a disconnected pilot
While at least one pilot remains in the wing or squad remains in the game, the whole wing will remain in queue, and the pilots will be able to return after a disconnect
A wing or a squad will only be removed from queue if all pilots leave the game
THe rule applies to all game modes
Manufacturing:
You can now manufacture several items at a time

Sector control:
Starting with this update, corporations can fight for control of locations on the global map. After the global and deadly Alien attack on almost all the inhabited systems in the galaxy, races can no longer maintain law and order in all their territories. The war brought chaos and lawlessness. Those who are stronger set the rules. Those who have dreadnoughts. Take control of star systems. Get additional income. Attack other corporations. Show everyone who rules the fate of people in the fringe sectors.
General rules:
A requirement for establishing control over locations is having a dreadnought.
Corporation CEO and his deputies watch over the construction process and the dreadnought's further upgrades. They make decisions on defending and assaulting locations on the global map.
Corporate pilots take part in planned battles and accumulate resources for construction.
Pilots without corporations can take part in battles by being recruited by the location's defenders.
The results of location control battles are reflected on the global map.
Global map:
The existing sector map is used for battles. Now you can use it not only to see your current assignments but also to check which corporations establish control over locations..
The map mode button is in the bottom right corner of the screen
All locations apart from capital zones, docks and locations with special objects can be captured. Each location
Stations:
Stations are marked with a race's icon
Stations can't be captured
Regular locations:
Regular locations are marked with rings of different colours
If a location has an owner, its ring has a race's logo inside
The logo is zoomed in if you mouse over the location
The ring acts as indicator of the defending force's strength
Location defence status can have values from 0 pts.(empty ring) to 100 pts. (filled ring)
Regular locations have levels: Т3, Т4 and Т5
Special locations:
A special location is marked with a circle
Special locations can't be captured
Usually, special locations have unique objects in them: Cyber portals, corporation docks etc.
Battles are ongoing for control of locations. All locations are divided into T3-T4-T5 levels, and any ships and dreadnoughts with equipment of corresponding tiers can take part in battles. If a dreadnought with T5 equipment decides to a zone of level T3, its level of equipment for this battle will be automatically downgraded to T3. Corporations will have to take ships of smaller levels, or else fight with pilots of equal strength. At the moment only T3 locations are available for attacks. These locations used to be controlled by the military units of each race. They are transferred to corporations to establish order and control over the territories in order to ensure the safety of the main stations, mining complexes and transit routes.
Captured locations yield profits for their owners
Profit varies for different locations
All the required information can be found in the tooltip:
Location name
Location level
Location defence force
Next location battle time
Mouse over the location to see the tooltip
Dreadnoughts can be moved across the global map:
Moving a dreadnought is called ‘Changing deployment’
Initially the dreadnought is deployed at the corporate dock
Dreadnoughts can be deployed to a dock or a location belonging to the corporation
Changing deployment required iridium
The further the journey, the more iridium is required
Location defences:
Neutral locations have no defence forces
Location receives +60 pts. to defence strength upon capture
Defence strength is increased by +10 pts. per 24 hours of being owned by a corporation
Dreadnought increases the location's total defence strength
Deploying a dreadnought increases defence strength growth rate by 5 pts. per 24 hours
Deploying a dreadnought adds +30 pts. to maximum location defence strength
Rings around the location can have one of the three colours:
White — neutral
Green — allied
Red — hostile
Dreadnoughts: construction, equipment, upgrading.
Dreadnoughts can be built by any corporation with at least 10 pilots of rank 9.
Construction consists of 4 stages, each taking a week. Construction can be boosted for iridium, but not more than by 75%.
When all the stages are done, players get the base dreadnought with T3 equipment. Base configuration includes 3 essential systems — shield emitter, weapon cooler and control tower. A ship in this state can already be taken into battle.
Dreadnoughts can be equipped with modules. CEO and his deputies can:
Select, build and install additional modules with special dreadnought features.
Select, build and install additional weapons in the form of heavy and light turrets.
Characteristics of base dreadnought modules:
Shield Emitter Т3. Boosts dreadnought shield regeneration.
Weapon Cooler T3. Increases main caliber damage.
Control Tower T3. Controls additional drones attacking enemy dreadnoughts. Losing this module reduces fleet points.
Additional weapon modules characteristics:
The following modules can be installed into additional weapons slot:
Light turret. Used to destroy fast-moving targets.
Heavy turret. Heavy weapons used against frigates.
Characteristics of other modules:
The first additional slot can hold:
Torpedo launcher. A heavy projectile launcher.
The second additional slot can hold:
Bomb rack. used to hold the bomb.
Dreadnought can be sent into battle without modifications and additional modules. Later on you will be able to modify both key objects and additional modules.
Location battle rules:
You have to announce an attack to participate in battle
Announcement can be cancelled
Corporation's CEO or VP can announce and cancel attacks
Announcing an attack requires iridium
The further the attacked location is from dreadnought deployment, the more iridium is required
The more locations a corporation owns the more it costs to attack another one.
Therefore it's handy to deploy dreadnoughts to the sector where you plan to capture locations
If an attack is cancelled, iridium is not reimbursed
A location attack can be announced at any time except for:
The location is already attacked by 8 wings
A location battle is already ongoing
A location battle is scheduled in two hours
Not more than 8 wings can participate in location attack:
A corporation can send more than one wing
Trying to announce a 9th attack will result in a failure
There is no queue for location attacks
Only the location's owner has full information on all the announced attacks on this location
There are 3 time zones for the following regions: Russia, Europe, America. Locations are divided in such a way, that each includes all three zones.
Special pilot groups take part in battles - wings:
Having formed wings at the time of attack announcement is not necessary
Wing participation has to be registered before the battle. You have 2 minutes to do so
The number of wings depends on corporation level:
Level 1 corporations (maximum number of pilots — up to 20) can support no more than one attack at a time
Level 2 corporations (maximum roster from 21 to 30 pilots) can support no more than 2 attacks at a time
Level 3 corporations (maximum roster from 31 to 40 pilots) can support no more than 3 attacks at a time
Level 4 corporations and higher (maximum roster 41 pilots and more) can support no more than 4 attacks at a time
Further corporation extension has no effect on the number of attacks. The number of defensive battles is not limited.
Neutral location capture features:
If there's only one announcement by the time a battle should start, there is no battle
In this case the location is given to the only Corporation with an announcement
If a neutral location has to announcements from a single corporation, a battle starts following the general rules
Location battle:
Location assault:
Location assault starts if the location has a defence value higher than zero
Assault has one stage
Attacking wings register for battle
Defending wings register for battle
Defenders can put forward a single wing against each attacking wing
Leaders of defending wings have to be officers of the defending corporation
Defending wings can have independent mercenaries and members of any other corporation
All ships of all wing members have to meet the location's requirements
When registration ends, a battle is held between attackers and defenders
If the attackers win, the location receives 10 damage points
If there are no defending wings, attacker wings fight each other
Regardless of the battle's outcome the location receives 20 damage points
If an attacking wing has no pair, it automatically wins
The location also receives 10 damage points
If location defence value equals 0 when the assault ends, the battle for location ownership starts
The location becomes neutral
The former location owner does not get into battle
The attacker wings that lost their battles don't get into the new battle
Wings that did not register for battle can't get into the battle for location
If the location battle ended in a draw or nobody showed up, the location becomes neutral
If the location defence value is higher than zero after the assault stage, further battles are not started
Location owner does not change
Location assault features:
Maximum location defence value can't exceed 130 pts.
100 pts. from location defence forces + 30 bonus pts. from location deployment
A location can't lose more than 80 pts. at once
There is no assault stage in battles for neutral locations. Battles from all the registered participants start immediately
General location battle rules:
Participating corporations get access to battle stats when the battles start
Location battles are held using Single Elimination system
Depending on the number of participants, a table is automatically constructed for battles in 1, 2, or 3 stages
You have to register a wing to take part in battle
A wing can have from 4 to 8 pilots
Only corporation officers and higher ranks can lead the wing
The wing has to consist only from the corporation members
All ships of all wing members have to meet location restrictions
The corporation whose wing wins the final battle becomes the winner of the location battle
The winner becomes the new location owner
Location receives an initial bonus of 60 defence force pts.
If for some reasons the winner of the final battle is not determined, the location battle has no winner
Location defence features:
Defending corporations don't have to deploy the dreadnought to the contested location. It automatically takes part in each battle.
Corporations can hire independent pilots and pilots from other corporations. They just have to invite these pilots to wings.
Dreadnought battle
Two dreadnoughts of opposing corporations will clash in an uncompromising struggle for control of location. The main battle is between the mercenary wings supporting the giant ships. But the main dreadnought weapons will have their say in the match. Destroying the enemy dreadnought is impossible. You have to cripple it and force the ship to leave the battlefield.
Dreadnoughts:
Key dreadnought features:
Fleet points: when they are depleted, the battle is lost
Shield charge: the shield defends the dreadnought from enemy weapons. When it's down, damage reduces fleet points
Shield regeneration rate: the shield is continuously recharged by the shield emitter
Base dreadnought systems:
Control Tower
Shield Emitter
Weapon Cooler
A key system can be disabled by hovering close to it for some time
When a system is disabled it stops performing its function
When a key system is disabled the team loses fleet points
These systems can be disabled using regular mercenary weapons
Destroying additional systems deals damage to the dreadnought
Main caliber weapon:
Used to deal damage to the opposing dreadnought
Damaging the dreadnought depletes fleet points
A main caliber volley immediately vaporizes any unlucky ship that gets in its way
Defensive turrets:
Used to engage enemy pilots and attack drones
Can fire various projectiles and missiles
Can be destroyed
Bombs:
Bombs appear in a special device — Bomb rack — that can be installed on the dreadnought
Bomb can damage the dreadnought
Bomb has to be captured and taken to the dreadnought
Torpedo:
If a dreadnought has a torpedo launcher, it can bombard the enemy capital ship with torpedoes
Torpedoes can deal damage to dreadnoughts
Dreadnought torpedo can be taken down with standard weaponry
Dreadnought hull holds several modules that can be destroyed to damage the dreadnought
Battle:
Pilots in dreadnought battles have to suppress the enemy capital ship's key points, defeat support wings, drones and turrets. Regular weaponry on mercenary ships can't damage dreadnought armor.
Each dreadnought's strength is measured in fleet points. The following actions reduce the opponent's fleet points:
Dealing damage to dreadnoughts
Destroying any dreadnought objects
[space=80]Eliminating pilots
[space=80]Eliminating drones and turrets
[space=40]Victory and loss conditions:
[space=80]Dreadnought with no fleet points retreats, and its team loses
[space=80]If both teams still have fleet points when time runs out, the team with more fleet points wins
[space=80]If both teams have equal fleet points when time runs out, the team that eliminated more enemy ships wins
[space=80]If it's impossible to determine the winner, a draw is announced: both teams lose
Attention!
In all dreadnought battles additional devices on pilot ship do not work and are not spent!

New in Star Conflict Client 1.1.2 (Apr 9, 2015)

Attention all corporations! You have received another piece of top secret documents with blueprints and installation instructions for dreadnoughts. Starting today all corporations can start the third stage of Dreadnought construction — Control System installation.
Time for technical works — one week. Once the ship's hull is equipped with interspacial warp accelerators, you can install the ‘heart’ of the Dreadnought — the system of general control of the ship on the basis of Artificial Intelligence of the fifth generation. This system will help the crew in managing such a large ship as the Dreadnought in flights between systems, as well as in combat. This system allows the Dreadnought to adjust settings in regular situations and will release the captain from having to do it himself. Installation of control systems is one of the most important and challenging stages in the construction of dreadnoughts. Loss of control during the battle even on secondary systems can lead to defeat.
We remind all pilots that already next Sunday we celebrate the most important holiday for all lovers of space — Cosmonautics Day. Especially for this event all week the drones in the game will look like the first artificial satellite, and on weekends you can get the special festive achievement. We congratulate all the pilots on this wonderful day and we wish you interesting adventures and excitement both in space and on Earth!

New in Star Conflict Client 1.1.1 (Apr 2, 2015)

Starting today, all corporations have access to the second stage of dreadnought construction — installation of the main interspacial warp accelerator. It's time to start assembling the parts of your future dreadnoughts. The docks received blueprints and instructions. Engineering ETA — one week.
Another phase of tech module manufacturing was successful! The second stage is one of the most difficult, as the dreadnought engines require care in their construction. The main task of engineers and technologists is proper installation of engines and their connection to the generator. Any deviation from the blueprints is strictly prohibited, as it may adversely affect combat capability of the dreadnought.
We also implemented several changes into weapon balance, ship parameters and PvE battles settings.
Dreadnought construction:
Improved construction boost mechanics:
Now, instead of time reduction you see the new construction time
Construction boost now has a limit
Weapons:
Gauss Cannon:
Changed weapon mechanics according to testing in real battles. To make a more versatile weapon our engineers abandoned 8 charges in favour of 3 and also made accumulating 2 charges automatic.
Cannon now has 3 charges
Parameters have been changed so that DPS is the same
Iridium charges:
Charges were too powerful compared to other ammunition.
Reduced spread from 75% to 50%
Beam Cannon:
On the first Technical Level ships do not have too many modules or slots, which puts several roles at a disadvantaged. Here's how we dealt with the situation:
Beam Cannon T1 range increased by 200 m.
Beam Cannon T1 damage increased by 3%
Ships:
Following battle testing results, our engineers decided to strengthen several ship models. Thus, the following ships received a +6% bonus to critical hit chance:
Lynx
Lynx-M
Tiger-M15A3
The following ships received a +10% bonus to main weapon damage:
Raptor-M
Raptor-M-2
Zealot
Palom
PvE:
Thanks to constant tracking of PvE battles we decided to introduce several tweaks. We're hoping that these changes should improve your enjoyment of the mode.
Processing rig. Rank 10-15
1st stage: increased enemy transport durability by 20%
2nd stage: reduced enemy numbers
‘Blackwood’ Shipyard. Rank 10-15
1st stage: slightly increased enemy numbers
2nd stage: reduced enemy durability and damage, including turrets
3rd stage: reduced time to boss escort arrival
Captured dreadnought. Rank 10-15
3rd stage: slightly increased enemy numbers; missile turrets have also been made stronger
Operation ‘Ice Belt’. Rank 10-15
1st stage: slightly increased turret durability
3rd stage: slightly increased enemy numbers; escort now appears together with the boss.
Sound:
Tweaked dreadnought dock sounds
General:
Game start:
Changed starting text. The pilot now chooses a station instead of a side of conflict
Pilots now have all three starters ships available
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug with some biomorphs having too high durability.
Fixed a bug with corporate shipyard defenders attacking members of the corporation
Fixed a bug with a disappearing tournament button
Tweaked Invasion tutorial mission
Fixed text strings
Improved tournament team matching

New in Star Conflict Client 1.1.0 (Mar 26, 2015)

Dreadnoughts:
From today, corporations can start building their own Dreadnought!
Dreadnoughts are huge ships with destructive fire-power. They have a variety of systems, which can be constructed and damaged in the combat, for example their different weapons: torpedoes, combat drones and guns of various calibers.
Dreadnoughts can move between locations of open space to take part in Sector Conquest.
Control of the Sectors:
One of the new features of "Sector Conquest" is the possibility to establish control over open world sectors with the Dreadnought.
Any corporation, who has a Dreadnought, can take part in this struggle for dominance.
A corporation, that took control over the location, can earn extra income, such as credits and Galactic Standards.
The fights in the open space for sectors will begin as soon as a sufficient number of Dreadnoughts have been constructed. Approximate date of the beginning of the battles — April, 16th. This date may vary depending on the activity of the current corporations.
Construction of the Dreadnought:
Construction of the Dreadnought is a long and expensive process.
Iridium is the main component. You can use the Iridium from the treasury of the corporation. As optional method, any member of the corporation may also use his personal stock of Iridium.
Initially, it is necessary to build a corporate shipyard. The shipyard is located in a separate location away from the station and only access able for members of the corporation.
At the beginning of the construction the head of the corporation must choose the Dreadnought type.
The construction of a Dreadnought has several stages:
Construction of the dock;
Installation of the inter-dimensional warp accelerator;
Installation of the control system;
Completion of the construction and installation of tools.
Each phase of the construction will take from a few days to a week, depending on the amount of the Iridium invested.
New locations:
Open World now also contains all maps which you know from PvP.
Also three new systems belonging to the aliens will be opened. In each of these locations pilots can find unique quests.
Many sectors of the inner worlds have changed significantly, some of them have been completely destroyed by aliens.
A full list of the changed locations can be found here.
NEW QUESTS:
New tasks, new adventures and the continuation of development on the storyline are coming.
Reworked around 300 missions and added new objects for certain quests.
New alien ships:
Despite of the progress in the war against the aliens, it was still not possible to displace them from our sectors.
The game will contain two new types of alien ships:
Predator, a large and very dangerous alien ship;
Scout, a light interceptor, which often is detected in low-level locations by strangers.

Dear girl pilots! We congratulate all of you with the Interstellar Women's Day on the 8th of March! Let it bring you a bit of little spring heat, sun and love to the cold and harsh space!
Until the end of this week you can get a special festive achievement ‘March 8’ and the ‘Heart and Roses’ sticker! We have also prepared new portraits, including female pilots!
On the weekend we'll have special holiday promotions and discounts!
Sector Conquest:
Today we are announcing that Sector Conquest will soon come to a new stage. The mode will change significantly. There will be new opportunities, new strategies. The current state of Sector Conquest will cease to exist and will be closed. The battle will start with a clean slate. Specifically for this important event, we have prepared several unique great achievements that can be obtained only now — before the end of the current stage. Updated Sector Conquest will start very soon — this spring! We recommend you to actively prepare your ships, modules and weapons, and stash Iridium.
Influential:
Take part in at least one Sector Conquest battle.
Sector Control:
This achievement will be awarded to all pilots after the current Sector Conquest stage. Capture at least 1 sector.
Siege:
This achievement will be awarded to all pilots after the current Sector Conquest stage. Your corporation has to be among the TOP-3 corporations with the most sectors captured. Pilots will also receive the "Aggressor" achievement.
Carve Up the World:
This achievement will be awarded to all pilots after the current Sector Conquest stage. Your corporation has to accumulate more than 1000 influence points.
Elite Conqueror:
This achievement will be awarded to all pilots after the current Sector Conquest stage. Your corporation has to get in the top-10 corporations with the most influence points. Pilots will also receive the "Conqueror" achievement.
General:
Matchmaking:
Pilots can no longer use ships, weaker than their most high-ranking ship. In game modes with a finite number of ships, such ships are considered destroyed and inaccessible to the pilot. Pilots can no longer choose ships with rank lower than the maximum rank in set by more than 4 ranks.

New in Star Conflict Client 1.0.17 (Feb 26, 2015)

Weapons:
Phaser:
It's a new weapon so there's a lot of changes: it was decided to reduce extreme damage from critical hits and from the ‘big’ charges. You can no longer destroy enemy frigates in 2-3 seconds. We also slightly slowed down the ‘small charge’ for the weapon not to be an uncontested sniper gun.
Large sphere damage reduced by 33%
Fast charge speed reduced by 10%
Critical hit damage reduced from 175% to 150% of regular damage
Plasma Cannon:
This is a basic weapon. We decided to make it easier to use and more effective.
Rate of fire increased from 150 to 220 rounds per minute
Changed damage so that DPS remains the same
Spread reduction speed increased
Assault Railgun:
This is a basic weapon. We decided to make it easier to use and more effective.
TIme to overheating increased from 4 to 6 seconds
Range increased by 7%
Rate of fire increased by 7%
Positron Cannon:
Updated weapon mechanics.
No longer has barrel slowdown
Ion Emitter:
Statistics analysis showed extremely high effectiveness of this weapon.
Maximum damage resistance value reduced from 100 to 65 pts.
Beam Cannon:
Statistics analysis showed extremely high effectiveness of this weapon.
Range reduced by 10%
Pulse Laser:
Statistics analysis showed extremely high effectiveness of this weapon.
Time to overheating reduced from 5 to 3 seconds
Gauss cannon:
For the convenience of the players we decided to make charge accumulation smoother. Now the player can follow the enemy, not the charges.
Increased the number of accumulated charges from 2 to 8
Rate of fire increase fourfold
Projectile damage reduced fourfold
Full charge damage stays the same
Charge accumulation speed changed so that total full charge accumulation time does not change
Missiles:
Unguided missiles:
Interceptors had too much damage-dealing capabilities with a full missile magazine. We decided to reduce the missiles' impact on the power of interceptors.
Small missiles: Reloading time increased from 4 to 5 seconds
Plasma missiles
Reloading time increased from 2 to 3 seconds
Magazine size reduced from 12 to 10 missiles
Piercing missiles
Reloading time increased from 2 to 3 seconds
Magazine size reduced from 12 to 10 missiles
Slowing missiles: Reloading time increased from 2 to 3 seconds
Modules:
Energy Absorber:
The module was too effective, so its effectiveness was reduced. But the recharging time of the module is now the same on all versions, and partially compensates for effectiveness reduction.
Recharging time of any version of the module is now 30 seconds
Active time reduced by 2 seconds
Effectiveness reduced by 10%
Reverse Thruster:
The jump can now be interrupted and it's also easier to understand where the enemy jumps.
Added a visual effect of getting ready for the jump
‘Horizon’ SYstem:
Experience has shown that the module is too effective. It got a small fine to damage. In addition, up to this point the module changed ‘optimal’ and ‘maximum’ weapon range differently. We decided to get rid of this and simplify the mechanics.
Now reduces damage by 5%
Bug fixes:
Fixed a number of battleground bugs
Fixed several key binding bugs
Fixed a bug with incorrect optimal range scaling with ‘Horizon’ System

New in Star Conflict Client 1.0.7 (Nov 13, 2014)

Pilots! In this week's update we would like to present to you a whole new kind of assignments called ‘Forward Fleet Assignments’. Mercenary Centre announces building up special squads of mercenary ships. These squads will be performing patrolling and escorting tasks.
Forward Fleet Assignments
Now, any pilot who reaches rank 4 in the game can send their ships to perform forward fleet assignments. They may require for your ship to be away for quite a long period of time.
The war with Aliens continues. And your ships in the hangar don't have to be idle. You can send them to complete assignments of the newly established Forward Fleet. Forward Fleet is a voluntary association of mercenary fleets. It does not consider pilot faction alignment.
Forward Fleet will perform the tasks that it receives from United Mercenary Centre. You can already send your ships on the following tasks:
Patrol:
Takes 5-7 days
Always successful
A certain amount of credits is given as a reward
Escort:
Takes 2 days on average
Success chance depends on ship group composition
You get credits and various items as rewards
Every day you are offered two jobs. They can be viewed on the right side of the hangar. To start the assignment, the pilot must select one or more of his ships.
Pay attention to some important features. Ships sent to assignments can not be used in combat. The higher the level of synergy of the ship, the greater the chance of successful execution of the task. The better versions of installed modules on ships, the higher the chances of a successful assignment. If the job fails, there is no reward.
Also in this update:
Achievements:
Added a new achievement for pilots participating in Special Operation Galaxy Guardian
Achievement is awarded to all special operation participants if there are no losses among them
The special operation has to be successfully finished
Achievement is not awarded if you use a duplicator
Added new achievements tied to effectiveness leaderboards:
Recruit: for effectiveness rating over 2500 points
Grunt: for effectiveness rating over 5000 points
Pro: for effectiveness rating over 7500 points
Achievements are permanent and are not lost when the rating changes
Pilots also receive titles of the same name

Operation ‘Ice Belt’ is now available to pilots of ranks 1-3
Mission added to PvE mission rotation
Sound:

New in Star Conflict Client 1.0.6 (Oct 30, 2014)

PvE:
We present a brand-new mode called ‘Special Operation’. Players on ships of Rank 10 and higher can participate in this mode. Alien forces are attacking our colonies, and they need our protection!
You are going to face an incredibly powerful Alien ship — The Defiler
To take part in the Special Operation you need to assemble a wing of 12 pilots:
The wing has to be formed before you launch
The wing can have both independent pilots, and pilots from any corporationsВ
Special Operation has one round
You can't change your ship during the special operation!
Time limie on a successful operation is 20 minutes after The Defiler appears
For successfully completing the Special Operation, each pilot will get three purple trophy search points (once every 24 hours)
A rating of pilots that fought The Defiler will be formed according to the Operation's results. This rating counts the Operation completion time
For successfully completing the Special Operation, pilots get the ‘Defender’ achievement
If you don't die once during the operation, you also get a special achievement ‘Masterful Defence’
Modules:
Tackler combat drones' characteristics have been changed due to their lack of effectiveness against interceptors.

Improved tooltip
Heavy Guard Drone:
Projectile speed increased by 15%
Firing range increased by 15%

The game now has a pilot rating calculated on the basis of player effectiveness
Pilots occupying the top 100 spots receive special titles once a week [/space]

New in Star Conflict Client 1.0.5 (Oct 16, 2014)

New in Star Conflict Client 1.0.4 (Oct 9, 2014)

Invasion:
Added a new location: ‘Ellydium’ Base
Location is under Federation jurisdiction, in Velorum system
Location is an alternate route from Velorum to Olympus
Location allows ships of Rank 7 and higher
Location has no Station Protection
PvE:
Added new PvE Mission ‘Ellydium’ Base Raid.
A recently formed structure ‘Ellydium’ is engaged in research of Alien technology and study of the properties of Iridium. They constructed a prototype installation for the processing and the practical application of Iridium in military areas and followed it up with a number of successful experiments in this area. According to intelligence reports, the Cartel is behind this organization. We have to carry out a raid to seize the ‘extra’ Iridium from the ‘Ellydium’ base and hand it over to more loyal groups.
Mission takes place in ‘Ellydium’ Base
Mission consists of 3 rounds:
Round 1. Suppressing Defences
Round 2. Defending Transports
Round 3. Clearing the Zone
Mission is available to ranks 4-15
Improved PvE balance
Processing Rig:
Turret durability increased by 10%
AI damage reduced by 10%
PvP:
Now the map Ancient Ruins can host Team Battle matches
Shields:
Statistics show that hull is often more effective at protecting ships that the shield. This is due to the fact that the shield is much larger than the ship. Because of this, some smaller ships were at a disadvantage due to their size.
To remedy this disadvantage, we increased maximum shield charge for a number of ships:
Jericho interceptor shield strength increased by 16%
Federation interceptor shield strength increased by 10%
Jericho fighter shield strength increased by 9%
In addition to these changes, we decided to improve implants affecting ship shields:
Neurocontroller ‘Doctus’ 3-1 - Implant efficiency increased by 33%
Neurocontroller ‘Owl’ 3-2 - Implant efficiency increased by 40%
Neurocontroller ‘SR Mark 2’ 3-3 - Implant efficiency increased by 50%
Besides, to improve general interceptor shield efficiency, we tweaked the module Shield Amplifier S - Shield regeneration increased by 50%
Implants:
As you know, the missile bay can be loaded not only with mines and missiles, but also with other devices. One such device is the Anomaly Generator. However, implants improving the work of missile compartment, still do not affect the operation of this rather powerful weapon.
Now implants affecting the missile bay, also affect the operation of the Anomaly Generator.
Alpha-inhibitor ‘Malleus’ 4-1 now increases damage
Alpha-inhibitor ‘Sting’ 4-2 now reduces shot preparation time
Alpha-inhibitor ‘RR-25’ 4-3 now increases range
Weapons:
Gauss Cannon is positioned as a long-range weapon. However, in the current iteration, projectile speed is not sufficient to defeat manoeuverable targets (for example, interceptors). The damage done by this weapon is also too low. In this update, we tried to make it so that the pilots of tacklers and command fighters in squads could once again use this great weapon effectively.
Range increased by 7%
Damage increased by 10%
Projectile velocity increased by 15%
Missiles:
In this update, we streamlined the situation with reloading missiles: all ways to speed up missile reloading now also influence reloading missile cassettes.
In this regard, we have improved reloading acceleration through Neuroaccelerator 'RR-50', but reduced a similar effect of ‘Improved Pylons’. Ship bonuses to missile reloading remained unchanged, and they also influence both missile and cassette reloading speed.
Neuroaccelerator ‘RR-50’ 11-3
Now influences both missile and cassette reloading speed.
Implant efficiency increased from 13% to 20%
Improved Pylons
Now influences both missile and cassette reloading speed.
Modifier efficiency reduced by 61%
Modules:
Made balance changes some Covert Ops role modules. On the one hand, Covert Ops modules take quite long to recharge, on the other hand, for a few seconds a Covert Ops ship can destroy virtually any other ship.
We decided to accelerate the reloading of some modules, but to reduce their active time. These changes are intended to give a chance to survive to the ships attacked by Covert Ops. Please note that changes are made in such a way that the average damage caused by a Covert Ops ship has not changed.
Special role module ‘Plasma Web’
Active time reduced by 30%
Reloading time reduced by 33%
Active module ‘Orion’ Targeting Complex
Active time reduced by 20%
Reloading time reduced by 20%
We decided to follow our players' wishes and change the conditions of upgrading ‘Spectre’ Field
Now, to upgrade this module to version Мк.3 you need Raid Loyalty Vouchers
Most ship modifiers allow the installation of several modules of the same type, allowing you to further improve various ship parameters.
However, after the recent tweaks, Adaptive Shield, didn't have this option.
With the 1.0.4 update, pilots can safely install multiple Adaptive Shields:
The effects of two Adaptive Shields are now added together
Each Adaptive Shield has its own activity indicator
General:
Modules:
Improved graphical and sound effects for ‘Spectre’ Field
HUD:
Improved fonts
Added highlighting pilots with a Premium license in battle debriefing
Assignments:
Removed sticker purchase assignment
Bug fixes:
