[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

Are you ready to cast your vote? The Senate Wars major update is right around the corner!

The first vote for Senate members will include a number of environmental hazards Captains will encounter in the Tournament Finals.


Four options from the list below will be selected for Senate Members to take into session.

Electro Magnetic Field - Random Rooms on all Ships receive the EMP status effect at random times during Tournament PvP Battles.
Electro Magnetic Pulse - Random Rooms on all Ships receive an extended EMP status effect at the start of Tournament PvP Battles.

Solar Storm - Random Rooms on all Ships are set on Fire at random times during Tournament PvP Battles.
Solar Wind - Random Rooms on all Ships are set on Fire for an extended time at the start of Tournament PvP Battles.

Frostbite - Random Crew on all Ships receive the Frozen status effect at random times during Tournament PvP Battles.
Permafrost - Random Crew on all Ships receive an extended Freeze status effect at the start of Tournament PvP Battles.


The list of choices for Senate Members to vote on will continue to expand, including Direct Modifiers to Room Types (i.e. Damage of all Missile Type Rooms), enhanced Collection buffs, and much more. One exciting concept we are currently working on will resurrect any defeated Crew Member as a spirit!


Senate Wars also includes an update for 8 legacy Legendary Crews. Please find an updated table of Crew Stats for each affected design below. These values are tentative and subject to change with ongoing testing.




This update also includes a new slider to customize your Ship Hull. Ship Wrap Opacity is now available, allowing players to control how much of a Ship Hull’s core details are visible under your Ship Wrap/Paint setup. This feature brings many of our older, difficult-to-see Wraps to life in vibrant colors.




Senate Wars will be launching after November's Tournament Finals including a number of surprises and stability improvements. Patch Notes will be available immediately upon launch.

[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!
