Star Conflict Update 1.12.0 Launches Secrets of the Precursors Event
Star Conflict update 1.12.0 introduces the two-stage Secrets of the Precursors event alongside holiday celebrations and corporate weapon deliveries. Pilots can earn Xenochips to unlock the new tier 16 engineering frigate Salamander.
Star Conflict update 1.12.0 kicks off the Secrets of the Precursors event series, adding 40 levels of progression, new corporate faction tasks, and temporary holiday content. Pilots can acquire event currency to secure ship parts, modules, and festive bundles.
Secrets of the Precursors Event
The two-stage event runs for three months, featuring 40 levels per stage. Players earn Xenochips in battle to spend on exclusive rewards, while pass holders unlock additional tracks. The event introduces the rank 16 engineering frigate Salamander, featuring the Kongmíng autonomous control system, CFER-24 nailgun, and adaptive polarizers.
Adventure Tasks and Conquest Rewards
Faction-specific adventure tasks from the Empire, Federation, and Jericho are available in Guardian-17, New Eden, and Mendes-9 open space sectors. Meanwhile, Conquest mode locations now drop component parts for the Typhon ship, replacing previous drops for Irbis, Protazan, and Kusarigama components.
Trading System Adjustments
Parts for Helicon, Typhon, Albireo, Marten, and Hammerhead are temporarily removed from player trading. Parts for Hadrian, Irbis, Kusarigama, Kirishima, and previous summer event components are added to the trading system.
Holiday Content and Festive Weapons
Hangars receive a New Year makeover with Christmas trees replacing beacons. Cyber-Santa Dart and Gargoyle bundles, elite smuggler packs, and legacy store offerings are available through January 25. Special holiday weapons—Phase Suppressor NY, Flux Phaser NY, and Mass Accelerator NY—deal double damage to destroyers and are earned via festive tasks before being withdrawn on January 25.
Ship Balance and Bug Fixes
The ship Loki gains access to the Thermal energy burner MZ-42 weapon and the Loki Diffusion Shield module. The patch fixes a bug where destroyer evacuation portals spawned too close, prevents AI ships from mounting the Thermal energy burner, and corrects Harpoon interactions with Waz'Got and Hammerhead stations.
Why this patch matters
Update 1.12.0 delivers a massive seasonal content drop, pairing the multi-month Precursors progression grind and the Salamander frigate with temporary holiday arms and trading shifts.
