Star Conflict 1.13.9а. The 11th anniversary!
Eleven years ago, on September 4, 2014, Star Conflict was officially released. Since then, the world of the project has changed significantly. For eleven years, pilots have been fighting each other in PvP battles, completing assignments in PvE missions, and exploring Open Space.
During this time, new fighters, frigates, and destroyers joined the game’s fleet. New weapons and modules have been developed. New locations have been discovered.
Over the past year, many unique ships have been introduced into the game. “Helios” borrowed the modularity of destroyers, equipping itself with upgrades that expand its capabilities, and its unique weapons allowed it to control the battlefield like never before. “Psiloi” flew into the space battlefields with a unique special module that summons powerful propulsion systems. “Bashe” inherited the flexibility of “Salamander”, but in the form of a destroyer. “Persei-8” brought a bit of nostalgia, along with formidable capabilities of a tackler. “Drag'Thir” has shown that Ellydium continues to create exceptional ships based on crystallid technology. “Hellas” expanded the line of classic-looking ships, alongside “Bark-2”. “Amber” demonstrated the power of stationary tacklers. “Exorcist” helped bring enemies out of the shadows with its unique special module. Finally, “Cinquedea” has found its way to some pilots who are now looking for the best ways to use this ECM interceptor.
Over the past year, modes such as “Orion’s belt” and “Beetle in the Anthill” have become available in Custom Battle, allowing players to enjoy themselves in these unique gameplay scenarios. However, some of the fun had to be toned down a bit: “Temple of last hope” had its maximum mission duration cut by 30 minutes.
A few months ago, we launched an experimental monthly rotation of maps and modes for the highest-ranked ships in the PvP Arena. Although the total number of map and mode combinations has been reduced by about 30%, we hope this has helped stabilize the gameplay experience by removing maps and modes that didn't fit well with the current game balance. In the latest rotation, we reduced the number of available maps and modes even further to better shape the optimal gameplay, and the upcoming rotation will offer a similar set of combinations.
Perhaps the biggest event of the year was the “Return of the Precursors” adventure, held in the Open World. Even before it began, we launched “The Frontier Voice” to hint at what you might expect in the near future within the game’s lore. Some things were true, some were meant to confuse, but the intrigue remained until the adventure was announced. Amidst all the hype, the “Atlas” corporation has quietly appeared, a new weapons factory that has already released a whole range of unique equipment. But when the Precursors began their invasion, perhaps no one could have imagined that the entire operation would turn out to be so long, exhausting, and... profitable? Yes, the launch of the adventure was not without flaws: as soon as the “Inverter” became available to visit, players discovered a way to obtain unique powerful ammunition, which was more of a bug that was fixed a little later. The adventure itself contained many assignments that often required knowledge of the game, the plot, or astronomy; sometimes you had to “hunt for pixels” in search of “Enigma”; sometimes you had to hunt for spies... However, we are glad that players decided to work together and solve problems jointly, sharing their findings. We hope that you enjoyed completing the various tasks of the adventure and that their complexity did not bore you!

The mysterious anomaly returns
Pilots, according to UMC intelligence, the operation of seed-chips may still be at risk due to the presence of the Signal.
Excerpt from Dr. Leo Gins' report: "Seed-chips are anisotropic structures by their very nature. To spontaneously destroy such a structure, some internal energy is required. The Signal field provides just that. This is a classic case of a second-order phase jump. The particles that make up the crystal structure of a seed-chip acquire additional accessible states, and a certain quantum process occurs, suggesting that the most probable state is one where the crystal structure is isotropic. The transition to this state leads to the failure of the seed-chip. However, in most cases, this failure is reversible.”

Attention, pilots!
We are pleased to inform you that a change of teams has been made to the “Survival” mode! Starting from August 28, all pilots will have the opportunity to try out the newest ships and their unique mechanics.
