Stellar Mercenaries has just launched its most expansive update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content with new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear. This major update introduces the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council, two factions locked in a fierce battle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons.
The expansion adds over 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, featuring 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, allowing for greater customization of your fleet. The Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker cater to diverse playstyles, enhancing your strategic options.
Combat is enriched with six new weapons, including 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 armours, and new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate offer fresh tactical advantages.
Enemy encounters have become more challenging with the addition of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, formidable foes that adapt and evolve as you progress. The update also introduces dynamic environmental hazards, such as asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the Pacifier, a new deep-space threat.
