Star Conflict 1.2.4

Star Conflict 1.2.4
 
Pilots! In the new update you will see the results of the first tweaks to the assignments and contracts system that should make it more user-friendly and easier to understand. The improvements mainly concern the visuals. We redesigned the interface of contracts, story missions, open space and fleet assignments. We also did the same with the special tasks related to various events in the game. However, we decided not to stop at visual changes and have begun work on changing the concept of contracts, so you should see its results in the coming updates. In the meantime, we suggest the latest improvements for your scrutiny.
