Star Wrath 0.3.50: Silk road

Wanderers! The new 0.3.50 update focuses on developing the modifiers system and small QoL changes.

The new “Silk road” modifier

After a series of sabotage attacks and battles between martian corporations, the logistics of the inner Solar system are on the brink of collapse.

Several large cargo nodes have been destroyed, dozens of transport routes have been closed, and the supply flow of fuel, medications, and industrial components is interrupted across the entire system. The outer stations are plagued by insurgency, and the prices of resources have increased several times over.

In order to prevent further escalation of the crisis, the corporations created a temporary high-priority supply route through neutral sectors.

The Wanderers promptly named the new route the “Silk road”. A steady stream of heavy corporate supply ships passes through the sector. “Tyrant” ships have been deployed to protect the convoys.

New enemies

Supply ships are corporate cargo vessels built for long-range interplanetary transport. Most of their hull consists of armored container sections filled with valuable resources.

“Tyrants” are heavy pre-war suppression battleships, created before the Catastrophe to combat rebels and pirate fleets. Their armor is virtually invulnerable to standard weaponry, and their long-range weapons are capable of destroying ships in a matter of seconds.

Both battleships are operating under emergency protocols and have expanded authority to open fire.

Any ship approaching the supply route may be deemed a threat.

Bounty hunt

While the “Silk road” modifier is active, “Bounty hunt” may be triggered in the sector.

When you destroy other Wanderers, there is a certain chance that a contract will be placed on your head, and nearby pilots will receive a mission to destroy your ship.

The objective is to survive for a limited time. If the timer runs out, the contract is canceled, and the survivor receives a reward.
