Pilots! UMC wishes you a happy Universe Defender Day, a holiday traditionally celebrated in February. Protect the Universe from enemies, win and get rewards!
Festive brawl “Orion’s Belt”
lot of time has passed since the opening of sectors in which, as mercenaries believe, there are traces of the Precursors. These are places that Dr. Pavlov himself considered one of the main secrets of ancient civilizations. Despite this, interest in the sectors is still not diminishing. Often everyone, from an ordinary mercenary to an influential factional figure, hopes to gain profit trying to find something valuable here. There are also followers of Pavlov’s cause. Enthusiasts from all over the world are trying to find the unknown and expensive in the sectors, fighting for the opportunity to scan every asteroid.
Sometimes there are several expeditions in the fight for “possible” and “expensive” data, creating a real cross battlefield in which it is almost impossible to understand who belongs to your team and who is hostile.
- The brawl is available every day until March 1. The rest of the brawls will be disabled for this time.
- Players divided into three teams participate in the battle.
- Players use their ships for battle.
- When the ship is destroyed, you can take it an unlimited number of times.
- Special points are given for destroying players of enemy teams.
- The team that scored 30 points or destroyed more enemies in the given time wins.
Players can earn new achievements for winning in the “Orion’s Belt” mode
- For 5 victories you can get the “Team player” achievement
- For 10 victories you can get the “Team’s hope” achievement
- For 40 victories you can get the “Dream teammate” achievement
“Orion‘s Belt” brawl marathon
Attention all pilots! The UMC received an emergency contract from the so-called Broker.

Updated “tournament”
Pilots! We are happy to present you an updated weekend tournament! Now the tournament will be held twice a week — this way, the players can know where and when the team battles will occur. The ranks allowed for the tournament will always be fixed — from 7 to 9 inclusive. Thus, a larger number of pilots will be able to participate in the tournament: both beginners and experienced mercenaries.
The mode was also changed from “beacon capture” to “team battle”.
We also worked on the mechanics of team matching. Initially, teams will be assembled based on the personal qualities of each pilot. However, after the first battle, the team performance will also be taken into account. The opponent for this team will be selected according to the same parameters. For example, if your team performed well in the first battle, in the second battle you will fight against a team that performed approximately the same in the battle before.
How to participate in the tournament?
In the “Battle” tab, wait for the start of the “tournament” event, which is available on Saturday and Sunday at 16:00 GMT. If you successfully registered for the tournament, all your ships will be blocked until the end of the event.
Each team plays 3 battles. For each victory the reward of each participant increases:
- 1 victory - 150 gs
- 2 victories - 250 gs
- 3 victories - 400 gs
