Game update was installed successfully. Thank you for your patience
Dear players, we are glad to announce that the long time of waiting for major game update has come to an end. Today you can take a look at the features list of the UFO Online version 1.8.0.0.
Implants that improve character's parameters
You can get them doing random encounters or the "Underground menace" mission. For people who dont want to wait our Premium Shop offers implants box that contains 6 random 1st level implants. Implant that have been once installed can be removed using Neuromatrix. In this case it will not be destroyed. You can remove implant without Neuromatrix too,
but your implant will be destroyed. Neuromatrices can be found in random encounters and Replicator's capsules. Most rare implants in addition to their own bonuses have set bonuses: the more implants you install from one set the higher bonuses you will have.

Long-awaited battle mode at the Arena - Capture The Flag!
For players who likes team challenges we are offering CTF battle mode. Here is basic battle principles: players are split into 2 teams, each team have their own red or blue flag initially placed on the special "base" point of the game map. Team goal is to capture the opposite team's flag and take it to their own "base". Goal will be counted only if the team flag was at it's place when the opponets flag was brought in. When one team makes 2 successful touchdowns this team wins the match. If team scores are equal and timelimit is hit the match goes overtime. At the overtime winner is determined by first successful touchdown or the frag count.
Security zones changes
When wandering through low-security zones your character will receive "Risk and reward" effect. Experience and loot are increased 1.5 times, and you will loose only 50% trophy items (such as monster body parts or ore) when killed. Beside that, now there are green "safety islands" within the yellow zone. You can use them as shelters when you are at
danger of attack by other players.
