Stellar Mercenaries has just launched its most ambitious update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, which significantly enhances the game by nearly doubling its content. This update introduces over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, alongside six new weapons and ships, and a new side mission system that promises to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
The Jupiter Expansion brings to life the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, two factions locked in a fierce battle for supremacy around Jupiter and its moons. Players can dive into a variety of new missions, ranging from escort operations and piracy to train defense and hyperspace hunts, ensuring a diverse and challenging experience.
To bolster your fleet, the update introduces six new ships: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Each ship comes with unique abilities and configurations, allowing you to tailor your fleet to various combat scenarios. Additionally, the arsenal expands with six new weapons, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam, alongside new defensive options like Tier 4 shields and armors.
The combat system sees further enhancements with the introduction of new special abilities and mods such as Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate, adding layers of strategic depth to every engagement. Enemy encounters have become more thrilling with the addition of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, which adapt and evolve alongside your progress. The game environment also becomes more dynamic with new hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the menacing Pacifier lurking in deep space.
For those seeking more variety, the new side mission system adds an element of unpredictability to the gameplay. The immersive experience is further enhanced with 14 new music tracks, creating a true sci-fi atmosphere. The Hangar Manager has been upgraded, allowing for better management of your arsenal with expanded inventory and loadout slots.
