Star Conflict 1.11.10 Ancient instinct. Stage one
The Universe is infinite and our questions about it are countless. Sometimes it’s better not to ask anything at all.
The universe is terrifyingly dark. And somewhere out there, between the superclusters of galaxies, in the interweaving of galactic threads, that very darkness, the ancient nightmare of humanity, may be lurking. Once exiled, and always dreaming of returning…
Excerpts from the memorandum of Dr. Parks prepared for the annual meeting of directors of the Federation corporations in the fringe sectors.
It’s no secret that we’re not the only ones studying obelisks with glyphs found in various sectors and locations. Some, including me, believe that these are symbols of the ancient language of the Precursors. Others think that the signs were left much later by their servants — Crystallids and Bions. The so-called cultists, who literally worship the Precursors as gods, especially like to study glyphs. They believe that learning the language of Crystallids and mysterious signs will help them find the Precursors’ home world and uncover the secrets of this ancient race.
Lately, the cultists have intensified their activity. Their ships were seen in different corners of the border sectors. They’re actively attacking mercenary ships and have become a real problem. We’re receiving alarming data that the cultists are making mass sacrifices, trying to open the way to the left Precursors. This movement itself takes on a global character and raises suspicions that something really wants to open its way into our world using the most terrible and bloody technologies. I hope we’re wrong…
Event “Ancient instinct”
Pilots, the “Ancient instinct” 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.

Jerico rank 17 tackler fighter “Baphomet”
For a very long time the Yith'got Witnesses seemed to be an almost harmless cult. People saw its danger mainly in attempts to control things beyond their understanding, and in the spread of the Liu-virus and a possible infection.
The Yith'got Witnesses recruited a huge number of people, after which they started a massacre in dozens of sectors. All these killings occurred near the ruins of the Precursors. Using the captured clone creation machine, the cultists have stained an entire Precursor obelisk with blood.
Unique fighters, titled “Baphomet” for their appearance and completely otherworldly capabilities, started to appear among their ships.
Special part of the ship:
- 4 parts are needed for the production of the ship.
- Can be received in the “Ancient instinct” event as a reward.
ODG “Planar shift”
- Special module.
- Accumulates a charge per unit of damage caused to the ship’s shield. When activated, it consumes all charges to restore the shield and makes the player’s ship invisible. Any damage and the opening of fire takes it out of this state. When exiting invisibility, it provides increased shield resistance to all damage.
Ties of Shadows
- Active combat module.
- Absorbs the energy of the chosen enemy and slows him down. The absorbed energy strengthens the engines and weapons of the ship, increasing its speed and maneuverability, as well as the rate of fire. The module works in the line of direct sight.
“Baphomet” shield recuperator
- Shield modifier
- An improved version of the shield recuperator. Increases the shield’s resistance to all damage and converts incoming damage into energy. The converted damage isn’t reduced.
“Baphomet” pulse discharger
- Capacitor modifier
- An improved version of the pulse discharger. Increases damage to the main weapons, reducing the rate of energy regeneration. Additionally increases the projectile speed of the main weapons.

With the beginning of the Second Invasion, the UMC leadership decided to create a miner ship so that they would not have problems with resources in the future. A contract for the development was signed with Scott en Cott corporation. It was the Federation scientists who had to create a frigate.
At one stage of development, the CMS joined the project. After providing some equipment for Mole, the corporation ordered a large batch of ships, and then acquired a limited production license.
Upon completion of all works, the first batches of ships were immediately handed over to the UMC. Currently, mercenaries can buy Mole directly from Scott en Cott corporation or through intermediaries at the Center. The corporation’s shipyards have already received large orders from various organizations and it is safe to say that Mole is one of Scott en Cott’s best projects, allowing for unprecedented profits.
