Stellar Mercenaries has just unleashed its most expansive update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, effectively doubling the game's content. This monumental update introduces players to new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and an arsenal of gear. At the heart of this expansion are the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, two factions locked in a fierce struggle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons.
The expansion packs in over 50 new missions spread across five distinct worlds. These missions vary from escort operations to piracy, train defense, and thrilling hyperspace hunts, ensuring a diverse range of challenges for players to tackle. To aid in these endeavors, the update introduces six new ships: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightening, and Skybreaker. Each ship comes with unique abilities and configurations, allowing for extensive fleet customization to suit various playstyles.
Combat has been enhanced with the addition of six new weapons, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Players can also upgrade their defenses with new Tier 4 shields and armours. The update further deepens strategic gameplay with new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate.
Enemy encounters have been ramped up with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries. These formidable adversaries evolve alongside your progression, making each battle more intense. Dynamic environmental hazards, such as asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the menacing Pacifier lurking in deep space, add an extra layer of challenge.
For those seeking more variety, a new side mission system keeps the gameplay fresh and unpredictable. The immersive experience is further enhanced by 14 new music tracks, setting the perfect sci-fi atmosphere. Additionally, the Hangar Manager now allows for better management of your arsenal, expanding both inventory and loadout slots.
