This week you will see truly amazing changes. Crystallids have once again infected technology of all sides of the conflict. The owners of Brokk ships suddenly started delivery pizza to the fringe sectors. New holiday stickers. Pizza missiles and more! And most importantly, corporate wars have begun…
Ship “Papa Crab”
The owners of the ship Brokk are now delivering pizza to fringe sectors. Professor Lesorticz from the laboratory TG19 of the Ellydium Corporation suggests that this has got something to do with crystallids, continuing their experiments with viral Bione technologies. The infection does not just change the appearance of the ship, but also the behaviour of pilots! We urge you not to be afraid if a pizza or pasta suddenly arrives in battle.
PS The pizza’s very good, you should try it.
- We have temporarily reduced the number of guns on the ship from 4 to 2.
- The damage of all types (kinetic, thermal, electromagnetic) is temporarily increased by 70% due to changes in the number of weapons.
- The effectiveness of repair tools installed on Brokk is temporarily increased by 85%
This year some types of missiles and drones were also infected! Employees from the laboratory TG19 of the corporation “Ellydium” are currently carefully investigating the problem. And they’re asking for more!
Rocket “Pizza”
Compatibility: Brokk
Special delivery from Papa Crab! Reduces the speed of movement of enemy ships. After the collision, it remains, as a bonus, regenerating the hull and boosting the parameters of the ship.
“Pizza” delivery drone
Compatibility: Brokk
Special delivery from Papa Crab! Delivers pizza to an ally, restoring the hull of the ship. After that, protects an ally.
Infected weapons
Crystallids have once again infected technology of all sides of the conflict. Any weaponry is now dangerous for pilots! Engineers are trying to cure the guns from the mysterious infection of aliens, but this takes time. There’s a theory that victory over the virus depends on your professional qualities. Everything’s in your claws!
Festive stickers
New unique holiday stickers have become available. The stickers will be available for a limited time!
- Astrocat

Decorate your fleet during the holidays! Let’s win together!
Weekly Tournaments
Remembering the ancient earthly wisdom “As you call a boat, so it will float” we paid attention to the tournament aspect. The name of your team will better match its qualitative composition.
Biomorph Ships
Pilots! Biomorphs infected technology of all sides of the conflict. In addition to weapons, the greatest changes were made to the ships Katana and Styx. We urge pilots to be extremely careful when using them!
Star Conflict — Pilgrim
Pilots! UMC has prepared a special offer for you — a special bundle with the Pilgrim ship!
- Jericho’s command fighter “Pilgrim”, rank 16;
- Kinetic weapon “Thanatos” railgun
- Active module “Camouflage shroud”
- Shield modifier “Safety speed boost”
The inhabitants of Jericho made pilgrimages to the Monolith for centuries. Even the invasion and the ban on flights to this zone could not break this tradition. A new tradition appeared and quickly took root among the top Jericho Families. Now the patriarchs were allowed on the pilgrimage only under the protection of mercenaries.
So a few years ago Pilgrim was constructed with the money of caring patrons. A model designed to protect pilgrims. In order to make flights in turbulent times for the galaxy, the ship was equipped with a camouflage generator and rapid-fire weapons, while a lot of effort was put into the shield system.
Just recently, Pilgrim became available on the market. The reason for the sharply increased popularity of the ship was not the mass passion for pilgrimages. The model was appreciated by the UMC mercenaries who found a new use for it — in battles.
Corporate Wars
Pilots! UMC announces the start of a large-scale corporate confrontation! In the near future, all corporations will have the opportunity to declare war on other corporations and show who is stronger!
War
To participate in corporation battles, corporations need to provide defence to their pilots. Corporation defence is restored with corporate iridium, and with a zero value of defence, wars become unavailable to the corporation. Also, with zero corporation defence, progress in corporate ranks of pilots stops.
A declaration of war by another corporation is paid for with corporate iridium. The cost of declaring war is dynamic and depends on the rating of the attacked and attacking corporations, as well as on how long corporations have not participated in wars.
The declared war ends when the defence of one of the corporations has dropped to zero. A corporation’s defence is lost from damage dealt by enemies in any PvP battles, including Open Space.
Leaderboards
We added a leaderboard, reflecting the strength of corporations in corporate wars.
Ranks and rewards
The victorious corporation receives corporate iridium, in accordance with the contribution made to the victory and partially restores its defence.
Participants in wars earn “war points” necessary to obtain special corporate titles. The current corporate rank of the pilot and war points are displayed in his profile. When moving from one corporation to another, corporate titles are retained, but the war points are reset.
Shining. Spatial tunnels
Attention to all pilots! The UMC monitoring service recorded the opening of mysterious spatial tunnels in the area of “Shining”. Currently, a special group of mercenaries has been sent there to gather information. According to preliminary data, the portals lead to different locations of space. We need to establish control over them in the near future! The task is complicated by the fact that such wormholes only let in ships using the minimum amount of computing technology.
Stay tuned! In the near future, we will publish additional information about this mysterious phenomenon.
Conquest
Rewards
- Rewards are now given for owning a sector. Sector owners receive half of the location resources, and challengers get the remaining part, in proportion to their influence. The reward received by the corporation is distributed among the players of the corporation according to their points of influence.

Interface
Added the option to remember modules and modifiers installed on the ship. This feature is available for players who have reached level 15 and higher.

- The modules for applying the saved preset are taken from the player’s warehouse; if there is no module in the warehouse, the player will receive a notification about this.
Attention! The current version of the add-on is in the testing stage, which may see changes in functionality, as well as the interface itself.
