We wish all our pilots a happy “Cosmonautics Day”! 60 years ago, the first manned flight into space took place. In honour of this event, information screens on space stations were updated and there are satellites instead of drones in space. Pilots can complete the special “Cosmonautics Day” achievement and take advantage of special holiday rockets.
New UMC interceptor ECM Salyut-ST
- Affiliation: UMC
- Class: Interceptor
- Role: ECM
- Ranks: 5 - 15. Depending on the rank selected by the player, the number of available modules varies.
Salyut-ST is another development from the Directorium times. However, unlike the proven Spiral and Endeavour, the ship was not mass-produced at the time and the project was frozen. The reason for this is the rather complex design, the offset centres of gravity and the complex alignment of the engines, which prevented that version of the ship from being able to fight with the known ships on equal terms. This ensured the fact that they were not involved in the battle with the “Fringe” fanatics.
The project received a second life during the second Invasion. In conditions of war and limited resources, it was necessary to adopt a fleet capable of fighting and disorienting the enemy without drawing attention. Salyut-ST executed this task perfectly. Despite the external similarities with objects of the first space conquest, the inner shell of the ship was equipped with the most modern equipment of the Imperial ECM ships, the armouring system was redesigned, and the engines were completely changed.
At the end of the Invasion, the blueprints of this model were kept secret for a long time. Now the ECM has decided to start an open development, and the collectors have already offered a handsome price for such a ship.
The pilot can activate and deactivate nodes in the skill tree. In this case:
- Ship rank changes.
- Ship’s parameters change.
- The set of modules, modifiers and available weapons changes as well.
As its power increases and its rank changes, the ship will change externally - the availability of upgraded equipment transforms it from a museum piece into a modern spaceship!
Special module
By upgrading the ship using the same system, you will gradually gain access to the ship’s unique special modules. Upon reaching a certain level, there will be three of them to choose from:
- EM wave generator “Faith” - The ship drains the energy from enemy ships in front of it and slows down the rotation of their weapons
- EM wave generator “Hope” - The speed of the enemies in front of the ship is forcibly increased while their turning speed is reduced
- EM wave generator “Love” - The work of the weapons and modules, that belong to the enemies in front of the ship, is disrupted. The weapons shoot at their allies, and the modules are disabled and cannot be activated.
You can get the ship right now by completing in-game tasks for which you will receive xenochips. A unique bundle, containing special parts required for the production of the ship, has become available in the in-game store. In addition, the ship is already available as part of DLC bundles. At the end of the xenochips collection event, parts for the production of this ship can be bought or sold in the trade.
The ship is also upgraded with special parts - Monocrystalline plates, which can be obtained by holding the sector in “Conquest” and “Portals” modes. They can also be studied in a workshop, dismantled into monocrystals or sold in trade.
