Star Conflict 1.2.5
Cryptogram FRST17-245117
Contract: Shadowy Trace
Employer: Ms. Frost, Klauss inc.
Attention, mercenaries! Dr. Pavlov hired our dreadnought for his expedition to Alien space. Contact with the dreadnought has been lost. Until recently, the corporation knew nothing about the fate of the Dreadnought’s crew and considered it missing. Recently the logs of the Dreadnought’s captain Robert Artego have been discovered. It seems that Northstar did manage to return from Alien space. It probably crashed, or was captured somewhere in quarantine sectors. Destroy the Raiders at ‘Naberia-392’ plant. We will analyze the data obtained in battle, and then we can establish the coordinates of Northstar!

Game modes
Combat recon
Changed rules for captains.
- Captains no longer have invincibility.
- During the first 90 seconds of the battle captains can re-deploy their ships after death:
- Captain is considered a regular pilot in this period.
- Changing captains does not lead to the grace period reset.
- Achievements for destroying captains also do not work in this period.
- Standard rules of this game mode apply to the captain after the first 90 seconds:
- He can no longer re-deploy ships.
- Nobody can re-deploy ships when he dies.
- Captain-related achievements are enabled.
Special Operations
Reduced difficulty of special operation against the ‘Destroyer’ at ranks 13-15.
Sector conquest
We made some changes to this mode to improve the situation with dishonest corporation.
- Increased minimal location attack cost.
- Removed the ability to cancel attacks.
- Any successful attack damages the location.
- Attackers deal damage and are considered winners if there's no defence force, but they fight each other for rewards.

- Smile, you're not on the radar any more.
- Welcome to open space! Put a coat on.
- You are a worthy foe, but I had the advantage... thank you for the fight.
- Your ship's explosion is a beautiful melody I can't get enough of!
- Nothing personal. Just good old unmotivated aggression!
- Congratulations! You've won a free ship scrapping!
- Let's be clear... do you like explosions?
- Yes-yes, I know you'll have your revenge!
- I got the last shot, I got the last laugh!
- No luck, just skill.
- What was your name again? Target Practice?
- Did I do that?... My bad!
- Such a beautiful explosion... Come back, I want to see it again…
- Mmm, I smell bacon!
- What? You're dead already!?
- Ouch! That looked like it hurt!
