Stellar Mercenaries has just launched its most expansive update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, effectively doubling the game's content. This update introduces new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear, centered around the conflict between the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, who are vying for control over Jupiter and its moons.
The expansion adds over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, offering a variety of objectives such as escort operations, piracy, train defense, and hyperspace hunts. Players can now explore six new ships, each with unique abilities and configurations: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. These ships cater to diverse playstyles, enhancing your fleet's versatility.
Combat dynamics are further enriched with the introduction of six new weapons: the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Defensive options have been upgraded with Tier 4 shields and armors, while new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer additional strategic layers.
Enemy encounters have become more challenging with the addition of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, formidable foes that adapt to your progress. The update also includes dynamic environmental hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the Pacifier, a new deep-space threat.
