Star Conflict OBT v0.6.3
== Changelog ==
* Added a new battleground “Threshold”
* Added stickers for ships, the sticker interface is available in the Equipment tab.
* Added a new game mode “Combat reconnaissance”:
-
At the start of a battle, a random player is chosen to be the team’s Captain.
-
Captain sees all the enemies on the battlefield, at any distance.
-
The enemy captain is also visible to the whole team at any distance.
-
The captain has only one ship that he chooses at the start.
-
The captain has very high survivability.
-
While the Captain is alive, his entire team has unlimited respawns.
-
The task is to eliminate the enemy team.
-
The number of attempts to find loot after winning the “Combar reconnaissance” is reduced by 1, due to the low overall duration of the combat.
Game balance: Battle search, matchmaking
* Added different queues for classic game modes and the new, experimental ones:
-
[Fight] Regular: At the moment, this includes the “Beacon Capture” mode. Number of spawns is limited.
