Star Conflict v.1.5.7e
Pilots! We continue to work on important changes in the project. In this update, Trading is going to change significantly. Now you can post lots in automatic mode. And for each new level in the game, pilots will receive a temporary premium license as a gift. The premium license itself will now bring more credits and synergy to pilots in battle. Ships can now be taken for a test drive before purchase. And all players will now be able to test their forces in special modes — brawls.
Trading
Pilots! The trading system has undergone significant changes. Now all operations are fully automatic and do not require the mandatory presence of pilots in the game.
We are introducing a bulletin board:
- Now you can post adverts for goods on the bulletin board.
- The advert will be on the board for at least 48 hours.
- When placing an ad, the item is withdrawn from the seller.
- The ad has a certain period of validity.
- You do not have to be in the game to sell goods from the board.
- If the goods are not purchased, they are returned to the seller.
- Direct trading between players is still allowed.
- Now you can trade various modules.
- Removed the limit on the number of trade deals

“Beacon Capture”
- The team's objective is to capture 3 enemy beacons.
- Each beacon can be captured only once, and you can restore capture points for your own beacons. The number of spawns is limited by the number of ships.
- The team that captures all enemy beacons, a greater number of beacons by the end of the battle, or destroys all enemy ships, wins.
- With an equal number of captured beacons, the team that destroys more enemy ships wins.
“Survival”
- Players can join the battle on one of the four provided ships, the selection is the same for everyone.
- When the ship is destroyed, you can't take it into battle again.
- Each team has reinforcement points, depending on the number of ships.
- Damage is tripled.
- Destroy as many enemies as possible in the given time.
“Combat recon”
- The team's objective is to destroy all enemy ships.
- At the start of the battle, one pilot is selected to be the captain. He gets a bonus to damage and sees all ships at any distance through obstacles. All pilots see the captains of both teams. While the captain is alive, the number of spawns is not limited. If the captain is dead, you can not reuse your ships.
- The team wins if all enemy ships are destroyed, if at the end of the battle the enemy captain is destroyed and your captain is alive; if at the end of the battle both captains are alive, but your team has destroyed more ships; or if both captains are destroyed, but your team has destroyed more ships.
“Spaceball”
- The team's objective is to score 5 goals in the opponent's net. The first team to score 5 goals, wins!

New locations
The game now has new locations that are available only in PvP battles of beginner ranks.
Base “Huron”
The former outpost on the orbit of the gas giant in the system SY3176-GIII-A4 was rebuilt many times and took on its current form relatively recently, when a special expedition from Erebus took up excavations in the system. Let us remind you that this expedition was engaged in the excavation of the ancient object “The Spot”, found on one of the planetoids. It turned out to be a repository of conserved technology from the time of mankind's stellar expansion: weapons, ships, modules and terabytes of project documentation.
Not so long ago, it became known that researchers left the base and stopped the excavation. Some evidence suggests that archaeologists left in a hurry, leaving equipment and even transport ships behind. The reasons for this are unknown. But many mercenaries flock to the system in the hope of getting at least something valuable from the remaining technologies and artifacts of the past.
Terminal D
The luxuriously equipped “Terminal D” used to receive VIPs arriving on the planet. But lately, so much has happened that everyone seemed to have forgotten about the original purpose of this orbital station.
Now Terminal D is the last hope for refugees from other systems. The station was remodelled, it acquired humanitarian status and became a temporary shelter. Here, refugees draw up travel documents and citizenship on a preferential basis, and are eagerly awaiting distribution to habitable regions on the surface of the planet.
But not everyone believes in such selfless kindness, and not all VIPs are willing to accept this state of affairs. Therefore, the terminal often detects small clashes among mercenaries. It’s not completely clear what they are fighting for and who pays them.
