Introducing: Senate Wars!
[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]
The Galactic Council is bringing civilization to a sector near you!
The Galactic Council allows players to take direct control of in-game events, scheduled to launch in early December.
The Council’s first round of voting will be for Ship Battle Modifiers during Tournament Finals.
The Council will be composed of all players ranked in Division A of the previous Tournament month.
Council Members will be able to cast their vote on one of several events to take place during the Tournament Finals.
The selected Event will apply to All Divisions during Tournament Finals.
Players can choose to cast or change their vote at any time during the first week of each month. All players can review current vote results (with time to adjust their strategy accordingly) by visiting the Council Homeworld located at Wolf 359.
Recent upgrades have enabled us to review Crew Seniority. This system dictates the order in which crews perform actions in battle.
After the update has launched, Players can edit Seniority by using the Name Tag item on any Crew in their current roster.
Seniority will accurately sort by Crew Name, alphanumerically (with number > character).
We are also thrilled to announce upcoming balance changes for a number of legacy Legendary Crew designs!
The list of Crew being reviewed (including their new stats) will be announced ahead of release. In the meantime, perhaps this image can help:
The Galactic Council update also introduces a new ammo stat: Reload Modifier!
This stat is tied to all ammo types, including Hangar Craft, Missiles, and Android production. This modifier directly addresses the time taken to reload a specific ammo type.
Please note that balance changes are ongoing, and current values are tentative and subject to change.
Regarding our announcement for the Top 100 Captains from 2021 to receive a limited edition Pixel Starships Bobblehead:
Due to restrictions preventing mail from entering a number of regions, we will also be awarding a Special Tier Bobblehead Mine Module to all ranking Captains!
The Bobblehead Modules will be awarded to all ranking Captains over the coming days. In the meantime, you can check out a preview of the module below:
We have a lot more to reveal over the coming weeks – with a strong focus on bug fixes and Quality of Life additions.
There’s a tonne of other surprises, new content, and system upgrades soon to be announced. Don’t forget: A Thanksgiving Throwdown begins on the 17th of November. Gobble, Gobble!

Developer Update – Tournament Finals
[h2]Hi, Captains![/h2]
In the past few days, we have been made aware of a bug that could cause incorrect PvP battle outcomes. We understand the severity of the issue and related gameplay issues previously reported. The accuracy of multiplayer battles is paramount to the Tournament system, and the game's integrity. We have been working on fixing this as our top priority over the past two days.
We have carried out analytics on the problem and found about 1.7% of battles could be affected by the bug. Some players have reported the details of this issue to us and we really appreciate the help. A small number of users have also taken the opportunity to abuse this bug. We will be reaching out to abusers with a warning and/or account suspension notice depending on the severity of abuse.
Our engineering team has already made a fix to the issue and we will be deploying this after the current Tournament. Unfortunately due to the technical nature of the bug, the fix will require additional time to test and deploy and we likely won’t have the fix in place for this Tournament.
For the current tournament, we have decided the best course of action is to let the tournament run and continue to issue prizes. Where specific users have been found to carry out abuse – we will be suspending their accounts until the end of this month’s Tournament.
There has also been voiced concern over preferential treatment. We take these concerns seriously – upholding a fair gameplay environment is our top priority. As in the past, we are working to address the issue in a timely manner that is both fair and consistent for all players and fleets.
Thank you for reviewing this update.
