Weapons
‘Ellidium’ continues to produce new and unique weapons, created with Alien technology. The new weapon is designed to be mounted on fighters. You can obtain the new weapon’s blueprint by completing Broker’s missions in the game.
‘Thi’Lith’ Beam
Deals thermal damage
Available from rank 5
Mounted on Fighters
Launches a separate homing thermal projectile at each enemy on the line of fire!
Additional energy is spent on each enemy apart from the locked target
Ships
Premium ships Palom, Kite-E, Ghost and Karud have been significantly enhanced. Appearance has been completely revamped. These ships now also have new modules and weapons. They can now switch between different special modules before the battle. Now, these ships can be assembled from the special ‘ship components’ unique to each vessel. Pilots can receive the required resources during ‘trophy search’ after battles in PvP, PvE and Co-op. As well as for performing UMC tasks within the ‘Star Marathon’. Thus, pilots can assemble them themselves, spending time and effort only to find the necessary resources.
New ships can assembled with a special resource — ‘Ship components’
For ship assembly you need components of the ship that you want to build
Ship components can be found in ‘trophy search’ after battles in PvP, PvE and Co-op
As well as for completing UMC tasks within the ‘Star Marathon’
Required ship components are available in special container-bundles
Container with the details can be purchased instantly. To do this, click on the ‘Buy’ button right under the ship’s icon.
Rules for premium ship components:
The ship you’re using to fly into battle must be of the same rank as the components being collected
Only vessels with maximum level of synergy are taken into account
If you launch into battle only on suitable ships, the chance of getting the required components will be the highest
If you don’t take any suitable ship, the chance to get a premium ship component is equal to zero
Premium ship Karud
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 Saladin family chose a prototype for a new experiment. The engineers wanted to stop the use of metastable field generators in favour of the latest developments in the field of system hacking. This revolutionary change, however, has led to increased power consumption of the ship and, as a consequence, loss of speed. The search for solutions dragged on, and the project was officially closed.
Development of the module received a second push after the release of ‘Systems Hack’. A less ambitious but more stable concept ‘Karud’ successfully passed all flight tests. The reasons for the project being released under the auspices of the Mendes family are not up for discussion.

Weapons and modules for Karud
Special module: ‘Weapon system sabotage’
Karud will receive an extension of special module functionality. Now pilots can assemble an alternative special module for the ship. Special module will need to be assembled from components obtained by completing tasks in the game. Also, you can buy items in special container-bundles When the module is active, it becomes dangerous for the ship’s target to use main weapons. If the target tries to shoot, it receives significant thermal damage.

Shield Seal
Active module

Premium ship Palom
Frigate ‘Palom’ has long been considered one of the best, reliable, and most importantly affordable Jericho ships. The ability to withstand heavy loads and its extended infrared scanner functions made it the best choice for mercenaries. However, with development of technology ‘Palom’ could not represent serious competition to the ships of ranks 10-15.
The second life of the ship started with the invasion. When pilots were required to patrol residential colonies, miners and farmers, teachers and builders, many of whom did not have experience with flight equipment volunteered. Then ‘Palom’ once again proved to be a reliable, easy to learn craft and became the basis of the militia fleet. On some planets that survived Alien attacks, decommissioned Paloms stand on central squares as monuments to heroes.
