Developer Blog. Entry 111 – UMC Archives: Survival


Pilots! We continue to share the latest features that will appear on the game servers in the upcoming updates. Among them are new modes, events, and of course, ships!

New event “UMC Archives: Survival”



Soon the next “UMC Archives” event will become available to all pilots. It will include a special battle pass, consisting of only one stage and lasting approximately one month. The event itself will run in parallel with the main “Ancient Instinct” Battle Pass and will end on November 27.

All pilots who complete the new event and unlock all 30 cells in it will receive a new Imperial command fighter “Hadrian”, as well as the modules and weapons of this ship, for free. And those who additionally buy pass packs will get additional bundles of resources, seed-chips and ammunition. You will be able to find them in the majority levels of the Battle pass. We will share more details about the contents of the levels with you during the start of the event.

New rank 17 ship “Hadrian”



With the start of the event, all pilots will have access to the new ship “Hadrian”.

The engineering bureau at the Lumen-4 shipyard has developed special “capillaries” based on Precursor artifacts in order to force iridium to circulate in the ship’s systems.

After passing all tests with flying colours, the new command attack fighter was given the serial name Hadrian and joined the service of the Holy Empire. The ship had its baptism of fire in a battle with biomorphs not far from the Solar system.


The ship will receive a unique weapon — the “Apotheosis-4” laser. The weapon fires an intermittent beam laser. When you hit an enemy, all allies near that enemy deal increased damage.

When activated, the ship’s active module “Gyrotron Aigul-65” grants additional EM damage to the projectiles of all allies.

The special module “Frontal reflecting shield” projects a shield in front of the ship that reflects projectiles back at the enemy. Doesn’t work on penetrating projectiles.

You don’t have to wait for long! Stay tuned!

The lost door. Part 2


https://steamcommunity.com/games/212070/announcements/detail/3714964345763801307

The second item in my collection was a ring. It didn’t come to me by chance. I bought it for a lot of money from another Collector. That's what they call themselves, with a capital letter. As it turned out, there’re quite a few people who know about the ship and artifacts. In search of information, I contacted some of them. Most of them prefer to use anonymous accounts and hide their data in every possible way. As I understand it, even the very first patrolmen who entered the ship took out of it the first things with strange features. I was told about glasses, which look completely ordinary, but if you walk around in them for a while, then you can see scenes from the life of a family who used to live on the ship. Like recorded memories, that are abrupt and useless. They also told me about the communicator from the ship. It also looked ordinary, but all calls from it were connected to an unknown addressee that was either crying over the phone or breathing heavily. Sometimes, he was crying for help. The collectors believed that it was the voice of one of the missing persons.

In total, quite a decent number of such artifacts were sold. No one knew the exact amount. Each item had its own characteristics. Most often they were completely useless. But each object was marked with a mysterious sign. Eventually, I couldn’t resist buying this ring from one of the Collectors. The simplest ring, but it was marked with a sign which meant that it could potentially have special properties. But what exactly these properties are is unknown. The ring hasn’t revealed its secret yet, but I wear it on the little finger of my left hand just in case. It doesn’t fit on any other of my fingers.

And now that strange drifter sold me another artifact. The watch. He offered it himself and gave it away at a pretty cheap price. I turned the clock over. On the back cover was the same semi-oval with a dot inside. There was no doubt that it was an artifact from the yacht. I rubbed the ring. It was clearly heating up while the seller was nearby. A curious experiment. Did he come to me himself or did the ring bring him to me?

I thoughtfully pulled out the same very coin from a special pocket. I have a theory — a combination of objects can change their properties. This idea, of course, isn’t mine. I honestly looked it up from the Collectors. They’ve checked it many times. And each time the results were different. Some attempts were successful. One thing connected to another in a certain way changed certain properties, but it was all in the form of rumours. I also experimented a lot with the ring and coin and didn't manage to see any new effects. Actually, the first time the ring showed anything was today. And the only thing the coin warmed up was my beer.

The experiments took at least an hour of my time. But it worked! If you put the coin on the table, and put the watch on top of the coin so that the coin is pressed to the case as much as possible, then the watch doesn’t just start showing random time. The result was exactly the same! I counted five readings that repeated themselves.

Eight minutes past four.
Fifteen minutes past eight.
Sixteen minutes past three.
Twenty three minutes past four.
Forty two minutes to twelve.

Could someone explain to me what this means?

The ring suddenly warmed up, and I raised my head, looking up from my notes and experiments. Now there was another customer at my table. It was a pleasant-looking young man. He was smiling sweetly. But his steely eyes told me that he was a killer.

— Do you mind? — he began politely and continued immediately without waiting for an answer. — I see you have a watch in your hands, would you sell it to me? The thing is that this is my grandfather’s watch. It was stolen from me. As I understand, the thief sold them to you at a cheap price. I’m willing to buy them back for double the price. This watch is dear to me as a memory. — He looked me in the eyes. And I clearly read in them: “you either sell it to me or you’ll die”.
— I’m afraid you’re mistaken. — I smiled without looking away. — This is my old watch, and I’ve had it for many years.

The stranger was a little taken aback by my impudence. He clearly didn’t expect me to resist, so he had to improvise.

— How interesting, they look so similar. Maybe you could sell them to me anyway for a good price?

He was clearly playing for time. And when his hand reached for his pocket, I sharply threw a small table in his direction. I was unarmed. But I think I hit him hard enough on the wrist with the edge of the table. Suddenness and running away, these are my strengths! Yes, I managed to escape, and after five transfers on gravibuses, I even felt a little safe. The man didn’t shoot at me. I think that we will meet again. And he thinks the same way.

But it was not this nuisance that occupied my curious mind. I was still thinking about the numbers and time. What could they mean?

New bundles “Star Conflict: Naglfar”


Pilots! Packs “Star Conflict: Plague Doctor” and “Star Conflict: Plague Doctor. Deluxe edition” are now available in the official project’s store. Рack will be available for a limited time until November 20. The ship themselves will still be available in the game.

It is said that it was previously one of the Sentinels' ships. A mysterious association of artificial intelligences left after the disappearance of the Techs. The objectives of the Sentinels are unclear. According to one version, the Techs left them to keep an eye on the secrets of Jericho, which they could not take with them. According to the other, the Techs have finally merged with their machines in order not to fall under the influence of the biomorph virus, and now they live a “digital” life.

One of their ships was part of an ill-fated expedition to the ominous Leviathan, where the signatures were recorded similar to those recorded in the notorious Monolith. No one of that expedition returned back. Only the Sentinel ship escaped. Unrecognizably changed. As after a serious illness. The transformation affected not only his appearance, but also his capabilities. And his AI began to respond to the call sign “Plague Doctor”. He looks for the infected everywhere and treats them as he considers right — by death.


A unique feature of this ship is the ability to infect ships. If a hostile ship contacted its other allies, then the infection spreads to them as well.

The lost door. Part 1


— You collect different unusual things, don’t you?

It was obvious that the guy in the dirty shabby jumpsuit wanted to sell me everything he had. The pipes were burning and the glow of the fire reached me through heavy breathing. I moved away from him a bit. What a nasty guy.

— I recognize you, — the guy in the jumpsuit continued. — Are you Marcus? Marcus Chromakeikus from, — he clicked his fingers. — “Weird Science”! I’ve seen you on holovision! It was a great show! What happened to it? I haven't seen you for a long time.
— The show shut down. Everything flows, everything changes. Now I’ve got other plans. — I admitted.
— That’s sad. You were so funny. Everyone’s always giving you a hard time… — he said tirelessly.
— Can I help you somehow? — I tried to interrupt his flow of memories about my blogger career, that was rather a mistake.
— Right! Buy this watch. Just for a tenner out of personal sympathy for you!

The guy handed me an ordinary watch. It was quite cheap. Now it has become cool again to wear these steel monsters with hands on your arm. No implants, let’s go back to the traditions of our grandfathers. Well, you know what I mean. I picked up the watch. Cheap steel case. Poorly readable hands. Seems to be mechanical, though. I put it to my ear and could barely hear the ticking.

— And why do I need a watch?
— Look, what time do they show? — he looked at me with a grin.
— Four twenty-four, I think. — I looked at the watch hands. — Are they set up? It’s almost six now. — I threw him a quick glance.
— And look at them again. — he rolled his eyes ridiculously, as if marking the importance of this.
— Erm... Now it’s ten forty. — I looked at the watch in my hand, surprised. — Are they faulty?
— And now look at the watch and don’t look away.

The watch was acting weird. If you look at them without looking away, then the hands were in a normal state, counting minutes and seconds. But if you look away for at least a second, and then look at the dial again, then each time the time was different. For ten minutes I experimented with them, trying to understand it.

— Funny thing. — I said slowly, understanding that I had to take them. — But they don’t cost ten standards. Five at most.

We agreed on seven standards, and the lucky owner of the money left in the direction of the nearest bars, while I remained sitting at a cafe table, looking through the huge panoramic windows of the station at the beauty of the “Pilgrim-11” spreading below. Seems like the watch found me by itself. That’s interesting. Perhaps some artifacts from the “Oblivion” yacht are attracted to other artifacts? And if I collect them all? And how many are there in total? I had two more artifacts. The watch became the third item in this weird collection.

The first such item that fell into my hands was a quarter-credit coin. After the war, paying with black cash became high fashion. Many don’t trust electronic payments and coins are valued. I don’t really like small change, but I sometimes put small coins in different pockets. And one such coin turned out to be very strange. If you put a glass of beer on this coin, then the beer boiled in a matter of seconds! The coin had no effect on any other liquid. I couldn’t find out where it came from. The coin itself was completely ordinary, but upon careful examination under a powerful magnification, I found a mark in the form of an unfinished oval with a dot inside. This mark was very well executed.

A search on the web led me to the yacht “Oblivion”. An ordinary yacht, rented by an ordinary family, was making a completely ordinary route. But it disappeared in the vicinity of the Morag system. It was a sign in the form of an unfinished oval with a dot inside that was applied to the hull of this ship. And curiously enough, there were no signs on the ship before the disappearance.

The story aroused genuine interest in me. The yacht was searched and found. It was drifting in space with its engines turned off. There was no one inside the yacht. A typical ghost ship. Everyone believed that the crew was kidnapped by pirates and wanted to close the investigation. But terrible rumours began to spread. For one week, everyone who came on the yacht died due to various accidents. Then it was only getting worse. At the station where the yacht was moored, an epidemic of space plague began. An extremely unpleasant disease. The station was closed for quarantine, and the disease was defeated. But it was necessary to evacuate all residents of the station to other places. The station itself was declared unsuitable for life. I found interesting statistics that in all places where residents were evacuated, a sharp rise in crime, diseases and deaths from accidents began. The more people from that bloody station, the more problems. I don’t know how this story ended. These days no one really cares about such problems. Now it’s important to survive. The station is still uninhabited and declared a closed zone.

The second item in my collection was a ring.
