The Star Conflict: Salamander - Deluxe Edition is a Pack/Addon for the core space simulator, *Star Conflict*, requiring the base game to access its features. Released in 2024, this content enhances existing gameplay by immediately granting pilots the unique Rank 16 engineering frigate "Salamander," equipped with the "CFER-24 nailgun" kinetic weapon and "Kongmíng manual controls" active module. Beyond the ship, it provides permanent progression benefits, including a 10% credit gain bonus, alongside cosmetic items like the "Fire guardian" portrait and utility modules such as the Mass Shield Generator, integrating high-tier hardware directly into the established tactical combat framework on PC, Mac, and Linux.
The central feature of this add-on is the inclusion of the unique Rank 16 engineering frigate, Salamander. This specialized vessel offers pilots a new tactical option within the established ship classes of the parent simulator.
To complement the new frigate, the pack equips it with specific operational tools:
Beyond the immediate ship setup, this edition grants several permanent benefits intended to accelerate a pilot's long-term progress within the main game environment. Pilots receive a permanent 10% bonus to credits gain, which aids in acquiring resources for future upgrades and purchases within the simulator.
Cosmetic customization options are also included, allowing for personalization of the pilot's presence in space:
The package further enhances combat readiness by bundling two additional utility modules that can be integrated into compatible ships in the main game:
This add-on primarily integrates new, pre-ranked hardware and cosmetic flair into the existing framework of the parent game, which is a simulator focused on tactical space battles. It does not introduce new overarching story arcs or entirely new gameplay systems; rather, it provides a specific, high-tier ship configuration and permanent economic boosts to the player's established profile within the simulator, allowing for immediate deployment of advanced equipment.
As an extension of the base game, this content supports the Simulator genre, focusing on tactical space combat mechanics already present in Star Conflict.
