We continue to search for a mole. Including mercenaries in the search for ‘escaped’ the ship turned out to be a very good idea. They delivered us a lot of remains. Unfortunately, we did not manage to get a single part from the wreck of the Waz'got ship which would hold intact information about the saboteur. The latest models are too well protected from everse engineering and the destruction of the ship, their parts become seriously damaged. As our eggheads say, the first Thar'ga models in this sense are not so perfect. I propose to redirect mercenaries to search for these modifications.
Pirates from the Vega system wanted to talk again, and I would not be surprised if they are also behind the Revenants. Their DIY stuff works too well against our reputation. I think that you need to show these upstarts who the boss is.
And our former friends from the cartel again took up the old ways and seized our mining station in the Velorum system. We will have to spend part of the budget on operational activities in the sector. I propose to hold it as an advertising event for the capabilities of our ships.

Ellydium engineering frigate Waz'Got. Fourth 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.
Currently, the ship is available for modification from rank 5 to 14. The ship receives an additional special module, active modules, weapons and modifiers.
Autonomous drones
Launches a capsule with an autonomous drone, capable of working both in space and on ship surfaces.
Waz'Dum weapon
Type: Kinetic weapon
Mounted on: engineering frigates
Marks the enemy on impact. Ships, firing at the marked enemy, restore their hulls.
Emergency Repair Station
Type: Active modules
Group: Engineering modules
Mounted on: Waz'Got
If the ally loses almost all hull, it is partially restored. In addition, increases resistance to damage for allies.
Assignments and contracts
Arlette Sokal missions
Sokal offers all pilots the opportunity to get the necessary resources to build the cabin of the Ellydium engineering frigate Waz'Got. Complete any 3 tasks every day and you will receive an updated reward — a pack ‘Waz'Got resources’, which contains 5 parts for the ship.
By completing the previous and new special assignments of the ‘Ellydium’ corporation, you can additionally earn not only xenocrystals, but also composite blocks! All parts of the cabin of the Waz'Got ship can now be made from composite blocks.
Loyalty and xenocrystal contracts
The terms of contracts for faction loyalty vouchers and contracts of the Ellydium corporation for xenocrystals have changed. Customers have lowered the requirements and now pilots can complete the tasks quickly and efficiently.
High difficulty contracts can now only be performed on ships of rank 15.
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
Turn speed reduced by 5%
Lateral movement speed now decreases with new ranks
Special module Quantum leap
Reduced bonus to speed of turns and lateral movement by 50%
Now the module's effect can be canceled by the abilities of opponents
Special module Jump crystals
The jump now occurs with a delay of 0.5 seconds
Camouflage shield refractor
Activation time increased by 1.5 seconds
In the active state reduces the speed of turns and lateral movement by 15%
Virtual particle condenser
Recharge time increased to 25 seconds
Fixed description of the modifier concerning hull regeneration
Developer Commentary
In skillful hands Tai'Kin often drove opponents in a situation, where they had nothing to oppose. Therefore, some of its modules were weakened, so that experienced players could oppose the tactics of Ellydium interceptor.
Weapons
Tai'al launcher
Reduced rate of fire
Increased heating time
T'Har'Ok beamer
Damage reduced by 7%
Tai'thaq
Damage reduced by 7%
Developer Commentary
Based on the analysis of the gameplay, Tai'Kin remained an interceptor, which deals too much damage, so some of its guns were slightly weakened.
Beam Cannon
Increased damage by 5%
Assault Railgun
Increased projectile speed by 5%
Increased rate of fire by 5%
Singularity Cannon
Overheating time reduced to 2 seconds
