Star Conflict 1.12.0 Secrets of the Precursors. Stage one

Attention all pilots! Erik Holst is on the line. We need your help. Our agent in the Federation was supposed to show up for a meeting to transfer some intel, but he’s been out of contact. His tracker was last seen in the vicinity of the destroyed laboratory. Find him…

“Secrets of the Precursors” event

Pilots, the “Secrets of the Precursors” event will be held in two stages. There are 40 levels in each stage. Only the owners of a special Pass will be able to unlock all levels. But the first and every fifth level will be available to all pilots.

To get a reward, you need to unlock the necessary level. In order to get access to the next reward, you need to complete all the previous levels. You can join the stage at any time when the stage is available.

The event will last for three months. During the entire period, all pilots will be able to earn a special game currency in battles — Xenochips.

• Xenochips can be obtained for completing any tasks as an additional reward.
• Xenochips are introduced into the game for a limited time and after the end of the event will be removed from the game and from the accounts of the pilots. We recommend that you have time to spend xenochips before the end of the event!
• Xenochips can be spent to receive special rewards during the event.

Unique rank 16 engineering frigate “Salamander”

The prototypes of the first Salamander frigates were designed in 4623 by a group of engineers who had once left the “Outpost” shipyard and set up their own private enterprise. The “Blackwood” shipyard, known for its quality, was chosen as the production contractor. 

The ship’s main feature is the use of numerous unique systems developed from scratch specifically for Salamander. The complex of this equipment seriously increases the engineering capabilities of the frigate. The outline of the ship captures the image of frigates of the past from the Federation civil war.

Like its ancestors, Salamander has excellent speed and mobility, which allows it to move quickly across the battlefield, without giving the enemy a chance to intercept it. And a special modification will seriously strengthen the resistance of the shield and the hull of the ship at maximum speed.

Currently, the UMC has signed a contract to test a large batch of Salamander-class frigates. Every interested mercenary will be able to get the new ship for themselves and try it out in battle. There are rumours that the Armada representative office is already interested in the frigate, although they haven’t officially announced it.

Special part of the ship:

• Needed for the production of the ship.
• Can be received in the “Secrets of the Precursors” event as a reward.

Control system «Kongmíng»

• Autonomous control system
• Control the “Kongmíng” autonomous drone. Operates in three modes:
• Shield restoration mode. The drone follows its ship and restores the shield to the owner and all their allies.
• Repair mode. The drone follows its ship and restores the hull to the owner and all their allies.
• Defence mode. The drone remains stationary and deals thermal damage to enemy ships.

“CFER-24” nailgun

• Kinetic weapon.
• Upon hitting an ally, amplifies all their shield and hull restoration.

“Kongmíng” manual controls

• Active module.
• Switches control to the “Kongmíng” drone. In this mode, the ship remains stationary and increases shield and hull resistance. The drone restores hull to all allied ships, and all enemy ships lose their radar range.

“Event-24” Horizon Module

• CPU modifier.
• Increases the firing range. Reduces the damage. In the manual control mode, the “Kongmíng” can fire at enemies.

“Salamander” adaptive polarizer

• Shield modifier.
• Increases the shield and hull resistance to all types of damage, when the ship flies at its maximum speed.

“Gathering clouds” event

Pilots, the UMC received special tasks for you from all three leading factions:

Empire

• Eric Holst requests your personal intervention in the task at hand. A secret agent of the Empire has gone missing. His trail led us to pirates and then disappeared. He must be found and brought back alive.

Federation

• There’s been some trouble in the Federation ranks. You’ve received a tip about an illegal arms storage facility belonging to traitors among the Federation. It must be destroyed.

Jericho

• The terramorphing station has been attacked by pirates. This is unusual for them, as the fragile agreement with Jericho implies a clear division of influence in the sectors. The Mendes family asks that the pirates must be put in their place.

Adventure tasks can be obtained in the “Open space” mode in the “Guardian-17”, “New Eden”, “Mendes-9” sectors.

Weapons can be received with the help of special, festive tasks that will help you get closer to the other pilots in a festive atmosphere:

• “Among friends” — destroy or help to destroy 10 enemies in a group of 2 or more people.
• “New Year’s dinner” restore 50000 hull pts. to yourself or your allies.

Please note that the tasks will be available until January 15, GMT 00:00! After that, it will be impossible to get a weapon! After the end of the holidays, from January 25, weapons will be withdrawn from all pilots.
