[h3]Tournament Changes For June[/h3]

Please note that June’s Tournament Finals will use a slightly adjusted ruleset when searching for a potential Star Battle opponent.

Any Participant can be Attacked at any time, regardless of Immunity or Online status.

When Defending against an Attack, the system will use a Snapshot of the Defender’s Ship. This Snapshot is taken from the most recent Tournament Attack made by the Defending Ship.

Where no such Attack exists, the Snapshot will use the Defending Ship’s current Layout.



[h3]Boost Gauge Refunds[/h3]

The Boost Gauge feature is now exclusive to Steam as a platform. Thank you to everyone who has helped to test and improve this system.

Participating users will now find the total Starbux Research Cost refunded directly to their Account Message Inbox.
