Star Conflict News

In 4613, Gabriel Hugot, an aristocrat from New Babylon, traveled with his family on his yacht across the resort planets. During one of his flights, he was attacked by pirates. With great difficulty, Hugot was able to get the yacht out of the shelling, but lost his arm due to serious damage to the yacht during the attack. Soon after, Hugot bought several stations of the Sanctum system and organized his own shipyard.

Three years later, the shipyard produced a series of armed yachts, which were immediately sold out. Working on equipping the ship with internal modules, the engineers optimized its space by creating additional power cells, which allowed the yacht’s power unit to reach the level of military ships.

Hugot decided to increase the size of the yacht by equipping it with additional amenities, and also ordered a special main weapon which was designed to destroy attacking pirates. Separate electrical circuits made it possible to install a weapon "S-5607 "Tide", that's capable of increasing it's rate of fire with continuous fire.

The reinforced and modified yacht got the serial name Helicon, and it has become a real work of art among civilian ships. Behind the appearance of a tropical fish hides a serious armour and a powerful computer that can quickly capture the target in sight.

Hugot never promoted his yacht as a combat one, and this caused the death of a couple of pirate squads trying to capture the Helicon of his friend.

[hr][/hr][h3]From the conversation of the survived pirate with Baron[/h3]

— Being on the outskirts of the Kayeed system, the “Mirror Carp” yacht got caught in our trap. We immediately offered the pilot to surrender his ship, promising to save his life. With a stuttering voice, the pilot agreed and went adrift.

The pirate’s cheekbones were trembling with fear. Baron looked at him with angry eyes.

— Then why the hell does your ship look like a sieve? How did you manage to lose four ships and miss the yacht?
— He tricked us. As soon as we got close, the yacht fired several disintegrator volleys in a couple of seconds. Our three ships turned into piles of wreckage immediately.
— Are you kidding me? A yacht firing with disintegrators? Even Wardens’ ships can’t fire several volleys in a row!

Baron ran a knife through the neck of the negligent executor, and blood appeared on it. The pirate started to tremble even more and knelt down.

— I’m begging you. It’s true, I have the on-board records. Right after that, he told us to surrender. We refused. The two of us were trying to avenge the guys who burned down because of that stupid yacht. A minute later I was left alone. And ran away.
— Useless meatbags! You can’t do anything right! And I hate cowards.

Baron sternly looked at the kneeling pirate. The pirate tried to take a gun out, but it was too late.

— Where’s the janitor? There’s trash that needs to be taken care of!

Pilots, the weekend begins! Time to prepare your fleet for new victories! UMC offers all pilots a 50% discount on the Thar'Ga starter pack!

[h2]Weekend special offer:[/h2]

• 50% discount on Thar'Ga starter pack!
  
• +50% credits in battles
  
• x3 first victory bonus
  

Thar'ga became one of Ellydium's main breakthroughs. Experiments have shown that the growth of crystals can be controlled, resulting in more than a hundred different modifications of the ship, for the individual needs of the 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, that the corporation inherited at the terrible price of the tragedy in the RG7 block of the ‘Ellydium Theta’ station.

Boost your fleet! Let's win together!

Sincerely,
Star Conflict Team

In 4613, Gabriel Hugot, an aristocrat from New Babylon, traveled with his family on his yacht across the resort planets. During one of his flights, he was attacked by pirates. With great difficulty, Hugot was able to get the yacht out of the shelling, but lost his arm due to serious damage to the yacht during the attack. Soon after, Hugot bought several stations of the Sanctum system and organized his own shipyard.

Today Hugot is ready to offer all pilots a reinforced and modified yacht “Helicon”, a real work of art among civilian ships. Behind the appearance of a tropical fish hides a serious armour and a powerful computer that can quickly capture the target in its sights.

All pilots who complete all stages of the event “UMC archives: Contraband”, will be able to assemble this yacht for free! The offer is limited in time and will be available until September 14.

Pilots, the event “UMC archives: Contraband” will be held in one stage. There are 30 levels in the stage. Only holders of a special Pass will be able to unlock all levels. But the first and every fifth level will be available to all pilots.

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!

An armed yacht developed by order of the imperial aristocrat Gabriel Hugot. Despite its seemingly harmless appearance, it has serious firepower that goes far beyond that of a civilian ship.

The ship can be upgraded from 5 to 15 ranks. Pilot can activate and deactivate nodes in the skill tree, and at the same time:

• ship's rank changes;
  
• ship's combat characteristics change;
  
• additional modifiers become available.
  

Rapid-fire disintegrator

• Special module
  
• Activates a rapid-fire sniper weapon, each shot of which, in addition to the main weapon, deals additional thermal damage to frigates and destroyers. The inflicted damage depends on the level of the main weapon installed on the ship. Firing is possible when there are available projectiles. The projectiles restore themselves. Attention: the “Tachyon charge” and “Weapon overcharge” are disabled after the first shot.

Weapon “S-5607 Tide”

• Kinetic weapon
  
• A heavy kinetic weapon. The rate of fire increases with continuous fire.
  

Weapon chain destructor

• An active module
  
• While the module is active, the disintegrator shells that hit enemy ships reduce the damage of their main weapons
  

Helicon cabin

• Cabin of the Helicon ship
  
• Can be received in the “Contraband” event as a reward.
  

Special part of the ship

• 4 parts are needed for the production of the ship.

Pilots! It's time to improve your fleet strength! UMC reports that a new transport convoy has arrived in fringe sectors from inner worlds. It seems that the blockade has been broken. We are expecting even more trade caravans in the fringe sectors soon!

Only today, August 9, we offer a 30% discount on Karud components! They can be purchased directly from the ship tree.

Long-term testing of the ship ‘Karud’ secured its fame as the most mobile and effective ECM interceptor. For this reason, the leading designer of the Saladin family chose a prototype for a new experiment.

Sincerely,
Star Conflict Team
