StarGem has released a new update to the game called Evolution. With the release of the update, ships appeared in the game, created using both human and alien technologies.

As the site learned, the game has a new space station in the alien universe “Ellydium-Theta”, which is “the first stronghold of humanity in the unknown space of aliens.” This station was created by a private organization that was engaged in researching alien technology. These studies made it possible to create a completely new type of ship, which is a fusion of technology and aliens. A distinctive feature of these ships is the constant improvement and expansion of capabilities as players develop.

Each ship of the Ellydium project consists of a cabin and a crystalline mass, by increasing which players will be able to develop the capabilities of the ship, as well as equip it with new weapons, modifiers and models. To develop the ship, gamers will need “xenocrystals,” which can be obtained in special New Year’s tasks. As the ship's power increases, its rank will increase accordingly. If desired, players will be able to cancel the improvements made and change the ship’s development path at any time.

The first of the innovative ships was the Thar'ga attack aircraft with 5 available modifications. Fans of traditional technologies were pleased with two rare space ships: the Empire frigate of the 10th rank Gargoyle and the Jericho attack aircraft of the 10th rank Dart..

We congratulate all pilots on the upcoming New Year 2017 and present the big winter update of Star Conflict - Evolution! It's time to harness the full power of alien technology for the benefit of humanity!

Ciphergram AAIM50-120600
From: Heads of Ellydium Theta Station Dr. Konrad Dimeny
To whom: all@site
Subject: Project Evolution

To all pilots in the Border Sectors! The war against the treacherously attacking aliens continues. Their goals are unknown, their tasks incomprehensible. Contact with them is impossible. The war has already claimed billions of lives. Inner worlds and metropolises are virtually destroyed. Entire systems have been destroyed.

In this difficult time, scientists and engineers of the Ellydium corporation, studying alien technology, were able to make several discoveries that give all of humanity a chance to survive.

Today we are ready to present the results of our research to all pilots of the Border Sectors. These are the first ships of the Evolution project, available to pilots at the new station “Ellydium Theta” - the first outpost of humanity in the Alien world!

Head of Ellydium Theta Station Dr. Konrad Dimeny

Station “Ellydium Theta”

From the very beginning of the invasion, Ellydium focused its activities on studying Alien technology. Many important discoveries and technologies based on them not only strengthened the reputation, but also significantly expanded the capabilities of the corporation.
With the opening of portals to the world of Aliens, the organization began to actively recruit mercenaries to collect data about alien space and its secrets. As soon as the opportunity arose to gain a foothold near one of the monstrous Alien Leviathans, the leaders of Ellydium immediately took advantage of it. Leading specialists were sent to the zone, setting up an observation post and defensive outposts. A month later, it became clear that any new object would constantly attract the attention of aliens and sooner or later be destroyed.
To solve the problem, a new plan was deployed, for which Dr. Konrad Dimeny took responsibility for its implementation. Development began with diving below the surface of the Leviathan and equipping several compartments in its depths. It took almost six months to complete the project; the result of the risky operation was the construction of the unique Ellydium Theta station on Leviathan.

Dr. Konrad Dimeny was appointed head of the station. Former Legate of the Imperial Security Service Natasha Cortez has been appointed head of the security service at the Ellydium Theta station.

Starting today, the new station “Ellydium Theta” is available to all pilots of the border sectors. All pilots were automatically transferred to the new station in order to familiarize themselves with all the new products of the Ellydium corporation.

Ellydium ships

One of the main developments of the corporation was the latest ships. Mercenaries must first assemble the cabin of the future ship, and then build up a crystalline mass around it under the supervision of specialists from the Ellydium Corporation. For the subsequent evolution of the ship, the mercenaries will need a special resource - Xenocrystals.

The cockpit of the attack aircraft Ellydium “Thar"ga”

The newest ships of the Ellydium corporation are not just manufactured at the shipyards of the Ellydium Theta station, but are actually grown on the basis of the originally manufactured cabin.
The cabin is the most important component of the ship. It is this that ensures both the safety of the pilot and comfortable control and access to the incredible capabilities of new ships.
To make a cockpit, pilots will need the following components, which can be found in attacked sectors or purchased in kits:

• Composite panel of Aliens.
• Alien stormtrooper structure.
• Monocrystals.
• Metal blank.
• Graphite plate.

UMC announces the “Technology Race”!

The cockpit is available for production to all pilots right now. And the mercenaries will have the opportunity to grow a full-fledged ship a little later. This was done in order to equalize the chances of receiving new ships among all pilots. During the New Year holidays, take part in all Center tasks, play in tournaments and leagues. Be one of the first to assemble the cabin of a new ship.

Everyone who participates in the “Technology Race” receives a special game currency - “Xenochips”.

• Xenochips can be obtained by completing tasks from Miss Frost and Selena Galo.
• Xenochips can be obtained by participating in tournaments.
• Xenochips will be removed from the game on January 17th.

The received Xenochips can be exchanged for a special “Xenocontainer” set, in which you can receive Xenocrystals and rare resources from the Alien composite alloy. Also in the set, pilots will receive one of the special weapons from the Klauss Inc. corporation.

Xenocrystals

A particularly valuable ingredient necessary for the construction and modification of ships, weapons and modules created by the Ellydium corporation.
Xenocrystals can be purchased in container sets for Xenochips during the “Technology Race”. Previously, Xenocrystals were known as "Living Crystal Containers". Pilots traditionally do not like long names and in negotiations themselves shortened the name to Xenocrystals. As a result, this name became official.

Strike aircraft Ellydium “Thar"ga”

The ship “Thar"ga” became one of the main breakthroughs of Ellydium. Experiments showed that the growth of crystals can be controlled by making more than a hundred different modifications of the ship, to suit the individual needs of pilots. Such a dangerous and powerful technology, coupled with the advanced developments of the Ellydium corporation ”, makes “Thar" ga” one of the most terrible weapons of war, which the corporation acquired at the terrible cost of the tragedy in block RG7 of the Ellydium Theta station.

To build a ship, pilots first need to assemble a stormtrooper cockpit and obtain Xenocrystals. After construction, Ellydium ships can be independently developed from rank 5 to rank 15. To develop ships, you need the “Xenocrystals” resource.

Ellydium ship development tree

Ships created by scientists of the Ellydium corporation using alien technology can be modified under the influence of “Xenocrystals”.

• The rank of ships changes.
• The appearance of ships is changing.
• The set of modules, available weapons and special abilities are changing.

All changes to the ship are made by the pilot himself, selecting the necessary Nodes in the development tree.

Ellydium ship development nodes

All Development Nodes in the new ship tree can be divided into several classes.

Class of nodes “Special module”. Allows you to equip a ship with various special modules, depending on the rank of the ship and its tasks. The ship has five special modules in total.

Class of nodes “Study drawings” of modules, modifiers and weapons. Required for the manufacture of special modules, modifiers and weapons from the Ellydium corporation. After studying, the nodes will not be visible in the ship tree.

Class of nodes “Basic ship parameters”. Improves targeting. Increases maximum energy reserve and its regeneration rate. Increases the maximum speed of the ship. Increases the maximum reserve of a ship's hull. Increases the ship's maximum shield reserve. Improves weapon parameters.

Node class “Additional ship slot” Adds slots for the hull, power unit, combat modules, shield modifiers, engine, computer.

Node class “Additional bonuses”. They add bonuses to the ship’s defense and attack. Only one module can be activated at a time.

The pilot must first research the node he needs, and then activate it or a group of studied nodes. Only by clicking the “Apply” button will the selected changes appear on your ship.
Each node can be deactivated, thus changing the configuration and capabilities of the ship to suit the specific tasks facing the pilot.
The number of slots in the ship is limited! Carefully study the capabilities of all nodes and activate exactly those nodes that you need.

Special modules of the Ellydium attack aircraft “Thar"ga”

Pilots will be able to choose for themselves which special module to use for the “Thar"ga ship. The choice of a special module changes the appearance of the ship. In order to study a special module, it is necessary to complete special tasks from the Ellydium Corporation, as well as obtain rare resources:

• Composite panel of Aliens.
• Xenocrystals.

You can learn more about all the features of the special modules of the Ellydium ships after January 3 in the news on the official website of the project.

Equipment of the Ellydium attack aircraft “Thar"ga”

Pilots will have access to several unique types of weapons, combat modules and modifiers for installation on the “Thar"ga ship. In total, the ship will have access to at least two new types of weapons, four combat modules and 14 unique modifiers. Learn more about all the features of weapons, modules and Ellydium ship modifiers will be available after January 3 in the news on the official website of the project.

New ships Dart and Gargoyle

Pilots! Only during the New Year holidays, from December 20 to January 17, you will be able to receive ships unique in their characteristics - the 10th rank Jericho attack aircraft Dart and the 10th rank Empire frigate Gargoyle. These ships have unique weapons, special and combat modules available. Both ships come with a unique appearance.

In order to assemble these ships, you need to obtain unique resources - ship parts that can only be found in the “Cyber ​​Santa” set! The set is only available from December 20 to January 17.

Command attack aircraft Dart

Affiliation: Jericho
Rank: 10

Jericho's new Dart command attack aircraft can be equipped with a unique kinetic weapon, the Quantum Railgun, which not only deals powerful damage to the enemy, but also speeds up the reloading of the ship's combat command modules. The special module “Frontal Diffusion Shield”, available only for Dart, covers the ship in battle with an additional protective field, making it virtually invulnerable. The unique combat module increases the chance of inflicting critical damage, which significantly increases its combat effectiveness, especially in combination with the Valkyrie. And the ship's assembly capabilities allow you to adapt the ship to the conditions of fast combat, missions or outer space

In order to assemble unique modules of the Dart ship, you will need special drawings and unique resources. Blueprints can be used for trade between players in the future!

Special module: Front shield

A unique special module, available only for the Dart ship. Covers the front hemisphere of the ship with an additional shield for a few seconds. The shield absorbs all damage, but consumes energy. If the energy runs out, the shield disappears.

Weapon: Quantum Railgun

A kinetic weapon available only to the Dart attack aircraft. Each gun shell that causes critical damage speeds up the reloading of command modules.

Combat module used: Wave gearbox

A unique module, available only for the Dart ship. The module significantly increases the probability of inflicting critical damage on both your own guns and the guns of your allies.

Power Unit Modifier: Backup Generator

A unique modifier available only for the Dart ship. When the energy level drops below a critical value, generates additional energy units. The module fires no more than once every few seconds. If more than one module is installed on the ship, then only one of them is triggered.

Long-range frigate Gargoyle

Affiliation: Empire
Rank: 10

The long-range frigate of the Gargoyle Empire offers pilots additional capabilities that make the ship a formidable opponent even for ships of senior ranks and allow the ship to be adapted to the conditions of fast combat, missions or outer space. The ship’s unique special module, “Synergetic Disintegrator,” inflicts additional thermal damage on frigates and destroyers and, when hit, reduces the enemy’s rate of fire. The Boson Cannon weapon deals damage to several enemy ships at once! And the “Disintegrator Modifier” combat module significantly increases the rate of fire of the main guns.

In order to assemble unique modules of the Gargoyle ship, you will need special drawings and unique resources. Blueprints can be used for trade between players in the future!

Special module: Synergetic disintegrator

A unique special module, available only for the Gargoyle ship. Activates a sniper weapon, each shot of which, in addition to the main one, additionally inflicts thermal damage on frigates and destroyers. In addition, the damage of each subsequent hit increases, provided that there were no misses and no more than a few seconds passed between hits. The damage dealt depends on the level of the main weapon installed on the ship.

Weapon: Boson Cannon

An EM weapon, available only for the Gargoyle ship. Hitting an enemy strikes them with a static charge. If his ally ship is within a certain radius, both ships will receive damage.

Combat module used: Disintegrator modifier

A unique module, available only for the Gargoyle ship. After hitting the target, the rate of fire of its guns will decrease. In addition, the rate of fire of your own guns increases.

Computer Modifier: Dual Channel Repeater

Weapons from the corporation “Klauss Inc.”

Miss Frost, a representative of the Klauss Inc. corporation, announces the availability of special weapons for effective combat against destroyers. Modified weapons deal double damage to destroyers and are 15% stronger than their regular counterparts. During the New Year holidays, weapons will be available to mercenaries in a special version. After the end of the holidays, starting January 17, weapons will be confiscated from all pilots.

The weapon is available in a special “Xenocontainer” set, in which you can also get containers of living crystals and rare resources from the Alien composite alloy. The container is available for xenochips, a special game currency. Everyone who participates in the “Technology Race” will receive xenochips.

A total of 3 types of new weapons are available for all nine technology levels.

Phase suppressor NG

A long-range weapon with a medium rate of fire. Deals double damage to destroyers. A hit also reduces the target's shield and hull recovery. Available only during New Year's holidays.

Discussion on the forum

Sincerely,
Star Conflict Team

Not everyone has returned to normal after the New Year celebrations, and one online shooter received two updates in a row, the story of which hardly fit into the established framework of the review.

Send

At the very end of 2016, a large update called Evolution was released, which allowed fans of space shooters to usefully spend the New Year holidays. While the pilots were mastering the new functionality, the developers did not sit idly by, but collected statistics, which resulted in the appearance of a hotfix that was released a month later.

The topic of battles in space is still relevant, so we fought dozens of battles and turned many starships into kilotons of scrap metal while preparing for a review of innovations that appeared quite recently.

One of the significant events in the world was the opening of a new space station located in the alien universe. A huge number of tasks have been created around it that will appeal to experienced players and will help accumulate a sufficient amount of resources for all kinds of ship improvements. The station is named Ellydium Theta and is located in the Leviathan location, one of the most dangerous places for pilots. Newbies are not allowed to go there, but experienced players will find valuable loot nearby. In the story, the station's scientists have mastered a new technique that combines the extensive knowledge of humanity and materials captured from aliens. It is not surprising that unique ships have appeared, developed using previously inaccessible technologies. Their main feature is the ability to develop with the help of special xenocrystals.

The first ship grown using alien materials was the TharGa attack aircraft. To create a starship, you must first assemble the cockpit capsule, and then build up a special mass around it. TharGa differs from regular ships by automatically restoring the strength of the hull and shields, as well as the ability to restore them after successful attacks. The starship has an accelerated metabolism and can briefly increase damage and speed by a significant amount. Its most interesting feature was the ability to independently improve the ship in a unique development tree. Pilots will discover available modifications of special modules, the choice of which will determine the mission of the starship, as well as its appearance.

Additionally, you can improve guidance modules, increase the energy reserve or its regeneration time, maximum speed and many other parameters. After studying all the available improvements, they must be added to the free slots on the ship, the number of which is limited. Therefore, pilots will have to choose the configuration of modules for specific tasks and play style. The composition of modifications can be changed in the hangar. Then on the next flight the spaceship will acquire completely different characteristics. More than a hundred different modifications are available to pilots, the number of which changes the rank of the ship and its appearance.

In the month that has passed since the start of the update, efficient pilots were able to acquire two additional ships, announced at the end of December. One of them - the Jericho command attack aircraft - is called Dart. It is equipped with a unique weapon with powerful damage, which at the same time speeds up the reloading of combat command modules, as well as a special shield that covers the front hemisphere of the ship with an additional energy field. These modules allow the starship to remain invulnerable for a short time if the pilot has chosen the right position in the thick of battle. The starship also has the ability to increase the chance of inflicting critical damage on itself and nearby allies.

Another interesting ship was the long-range frigate of the Gargoyle Empire, showing with all its appearance that it is not to be trifled with. This huge starship is able to adapt to different battle modes thanks to its modules. A special disruptor activates a sniper gun, each shot of which deals additional thermal damage to frigates and destroyers, and hitting a target increases the damage of the next shot. The presence of an electromagnetic boson cannon allows you to hit enemies with a static charge, causing area damage. In mass skirmishes, you should be careful when shooting so as not to hit your allies with the charges.

The combat module has become an excellent help for the starship, reducing the rate of fire of the target and at the same time increasing the rate of its own guns. Completing the list of bonuses is the ability to increase the rate of fire of cannons after successfully destroying an enemy ship, which makes the frigate a formidable participant in team battles.

The new ships are certainly good, but at the beginning of the update only rare pilots could get their hands on them. Now any pilot can earn resources for these ships. It is enough to complete daily flight missions in a flight with your combat friends. Also, the resources for these ships - control units - will be used in trade between players. The developers promise that the appearance of this feature is not far off.

As already mentioned, during the New Year holidays, the development team was able to analyze the results of many battles, as a result of which some changes appeared in the parameters of combat starships, which should balance team battles for the better.

The characteristics of the Dart and Gargoyle ships have not changed since their release, but their rank has been increased to eleventh. This brought noticeable relief to the ranks of pilots: starships created a serious imbalance in the middle ranks as soon as the first mercenaries were able to take possession of them. But the beloved TharGa received an increased strength hull and increased turning speed, which allowed it to feel more confident at lower ranks, although many pilots will say that this confidence turned out to be excessive.

Other changes include increased duration of battles in some modes, as well as a higher number of points required to win. All changes are based on statistics collected during the holidays.

Many players positively responded to the strengthening of cover frigates, which are indispensable for protecting the team from enemy missiles and increasing the defensive qualities of allies. Starships' shield resistance to each type of damage was increased by ten units. There are rumors that such a change is only the first portion of changes for ships of this type.

You can't help but notice the redesigned statistics window that appears at the end of each battle. It has become much clearer for a beginner: the pilot information block has been placed in a separate tab, and the combat effectiveness screen has become easier to read. Some veterans, accustomed to the old interface, complain that such an innovation is useless. However, now the pilots' attention is focused on personal achievements, which are visible immediately after the end of the match.

To summarize, I would like to note the strong desire of the developers to bring the product to perfection. Star Conflict becomes more interesting with each innovation and grows out of the session shooter genre, acquiring the features of a massively multiplayer online game.

StarGem Inc. and Gaijin Entertainment present a big New Year's update to the space action movie Star Conflict, called Evolution. Intergalactic fleets of players will be replenished with the first ships of the Ellydium project. Their main feature will be flexible customization - the player will be able to change his ship at any time, choosing the best configuration for the upcoming battle.

The new ships are a fusion of human and alien technologies, and their development tree is comparable to a powerful construction set. Each ship consists of two main parts - the cockpit, which provides control, and the crystalline mass, which is responsible for the unique abilities of the ship. By increasing it, the player will be able to choose a special module, weapons, combat modules and modifiers. As the ship's power increases, its rank will also increase. The player can cancel the improvements made or completely change the chosen path of ship development at any time.

The first in the line will be the Thar"ga attack aircraft. Five modifications are available for it, each of which will not only give the ship additional abilities, but will also significantly change its appearance. The "Crystal Hunger" modification is suitable for determined and desperate pilots - high flight and shooting speed will allow you to quickly move across the battlefield, continuously attacking enemies with a rain of laser beams. The “Hive” configuration will appeal to calmer and more reasonable players - three combat drones will take the brunt of the attack, and the mother ship will provide them with support and regeneration.

The Star Conflict space fleet has also been replenished with two new rare ships. During the New Year holidays, from December 20 to January 17, players will be able to receive vehicles unique in their characteristics and appearance - the Jericho attack aircraft of the 10th rank Dart and the Empire frigate of the 10th rank Gargoyle. These ships also have unique weapons, special and combat modules available. In addition, players will find a new station, Ellydium Theta, created by the same Ellydium corporation. Located in the world of aliens, the station amazes the imagination both with its size and the elaboration of details.

The evolution of the ship will require special rare resources called “xenocrystals”. Players will be able to obtain xenocrystals in special New Year's tasks and tournaments. The bravest of pilots have already started the race for the cockpit of the new ship of the Evolution project.

To ensure that Star Conflict pilots are fully prepared to face the unknown, from December 22 to January 2, there will be a 50% discount on sets in the game store and Steam. Read more about the new products on the game website.
