== Ships: General ==
* Modules that have been inherited by some players from the early versions of the game, but are not available for new pilots, were automatically sold at the highest possible price. These modules are no longer available.

* Energy consumption is reduced by 20% for most modules.
* The duration of the “Pulsar” has been increased, and it no longer damages the targets behind obstacles.
* “Valkyrie” is now active for a limited time.
== New modules ==
* Interceptor: Covert Ops
— Adaptive Camouflage. While the ship is not firing and not using modules, it disappears from radars, can not be locked by the enemy and is not subject to directed hostile influences for a few seconds.
— Plasma Arc. Activation of the module generates a powerful plasma arc, dealing thermal damage to the enemy ships are in range.
* Interceptor: Recon
— Micro-locator. Deploys a locator uncovering all enemy ships in range, including invisible ships.
* Fighter: Gunship
— Aiming Overcharge. Activation of the module increases critical strike chance of the main weapon.
— Engine Overcharge. Maximum speed of the ship is temporarily increased.
— Combat Reboot. Activation interrupts all existing negative effects imposed on the ship, and prevents new negative effects. The ship receives a temporary immunity to damage.
* Fighter: Tackler
— Inhibitor Beam. The module does not allow the enemy to use afterburners. You must be within line of sight.
* Frigate: Long Range
— Weapon Overcharge. Activation increases disintegrator and guided torpedo damage
— IR Pulsar. Prevents all enemy ships locked on to you from locking any targets.
— EM Scattering Field. While the vehicle is stationary, it does not appear on radars, can not be locked by the enemy and exposed to negative effects.
* Frigate: Engineering
— Mobile Barrier. Temporarily places a barrier to protect the ship from any damage. The barrier has limited time and strength and moves with the ship.
== Game balance: Contracts ==
* Looting can now produce secret documents belonging to your faction. Their return is rewarded with loyalty!
* Increased the probability of finding the secret documents in the PvE missions finale.
