Star Conflict adds more offensive and defensive capabilities for the rogue player in everyone.

　　To help those aspiring mercenaries make ends meet (or meat), a new mode called Defense Contract has been added that lets you earn some hard won money protecting various locations. To help you with that, six new spacecraft have been added with different customizable offensive and defensive capabilities. You can apparently tailor your ship to your play style.

　　Two new locations are also making it into Dogs of War; Monolith Ruins, a desolate former shrine of the Jericho faction, and Sanctuary, a place that's in orbit around a heavily conflicted planet.

　　Star Conflict is an action-packed, massively multiplayer space simulation game that puts players in the roles of elite pilots engaging in a widespread interplanetary skirmish. The game includes a wide variety of battleships, from light and fast interceptors to powerful fighters and well-defended frigates.
