Star Conflict 1.3.7
Two of the most famous premium-ships Phoenix and Reaper have been significantly improved, with updated appearance and new hull animation elements! They have also received new modules and weapons. Only these ships have the ability to choose different special modules before each battle. And most importantly, these ships can now be assembled from special ‘ship components’ — resources unique to each ship. Resources can be found during ‘Trophy search’ after battles in PvP, PvE and Co-op. Thus, pilots can not only purchase these ships with DLC but also assemble themselves, spending time and effort only to find the necessary resources.
Ships
Premium ships Phoenix and Reaper have significantly changed in appearance. Also, these ships have received new unique weapons and special modules.
New ships can be assembled by obtaining a special resource — ‘Ship components’.
Only original components of the ship you want to build are required for assembly.
Ship components can be found in ‘Trophy search’ after battles in PvP, PvE and Co-op.
Required ship components can be found in special bundle containers.
Now when you receive a bundle as a reward youy can immediately purchase it.
To do this, press ‘Buy more’.
New premium ships are also available to all pilots as part of bundles in game store and DLC on Steam.
Phoenix and Reaper ships can now have different colouring schemes.
Rules for receiving premium ship components:
The ship you are using in battle must be of the same rank as the components being collected.
Only ships with the maximum level of synergy are taken into account.
If you fly only the appropriate ships into battle, the chance of getting the required components will be maximized.
If you do not take any appropriate ships into battle, the chance of getting a premium ship component is nil.
Premium ship Phoenix
Pirate engineers did their best to create this ship. Initially, it had been a Styx, although it's hard to be sure. Phoenix was equipped with custom engines, improved power supply system and a stronger hull. The ship bridge was widened and equipped with a larger panoramic screen. This ship is not welcome in the Imperial areas, because these machines are used by pirate leaders leading the largest raids.
Allegiance: Empire
Class: Frigate
Role: Engineer
Rank: 8
Updated appearance.
Weapons and modules of ‘Phoenix’
Special module: ‘Phoenix’ Drones
‘Phoenix’ will also receive an extension of special module functions. Pilots can now assemble an alternative special module for their ship. They will need special components, obtained from special tasks in the game. You can also buy components with special bundle containers. Special module summons drones that can switch between attack and repair modes. In Repair mode drones restore not only shields but also hull of the host ship and its allies. And in Attack mode they mostly attack enemy ships. Their projectiles also have embedded ‘Matter disintegrators’, reducing resistance of the enemy's hull to all types of damage.
Drones with manual Attack/Repair mode switch.
Attack the locked target.
Restore shield and hull.
Drone projectiles reduce hull resistance to all damage.
Alternative special module can be assembled by procuring a special resource — ‘Special module components’.

Ally selection for support modules
You need to select an allied ship for the modules to work.
You can only select allies when an appropriate module is installed.
With auto-selection enabled the closest ally is automatically picked.
With auto-selection disabled, pressing ‘lock target’ selects an ally or enemy closest to the crosshairs (through regular algorithm).
Ally selection is always instant.
The selected ally is shown in the HUD.
Module activation is only possible if the selected ally is in range.
Choosing an ally is also possible when using masking modules (‘Adaptive Camo’, ‘EM Scattering Field’, Special module ‘Chameleon’).
Premium ship Reaper
An extremely powerful frigate of unknown modification, previously owned by a pirate baron who terrorized the fringe Federation sector. The best pilots of the Federation were sent to destroy this impressive ship, but no one returned alive. After a number of intelligence operations, its design and weaknesses in the hull have been discovered. As a result, the Baron was destroyed together with the ship. Now, some shipyards can assemble copies of the legendary ship.
