[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

We would like to take a moment to touch on the current state of Fair Play in the game.

We have recently banned a large number of accounts for breaching our EULA, underlining our firm standing when dealing with these cases.

Using automation tools to interact with the market, gather Starbux or transfer items is a banned offense under Section 11 – Account Suspension.

We take Market Integrity very seriously, continually expanding our systems to detect and respond to the use of automation tools.


To be clear: Any tool that performs more than one in-game action per button press, or controls multiple accounts at once, will classify as automation. The use of these tools can quickly snowball to undermine the efforts of legitimate users.


We will continue to take strong action against the use of automated tools and their potential effect on the player base.

Additional thanks to everyone who has taken the time to submit a report or provide feedback on this issue, helping to uphold fair play for all players.

[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

Experience a re-energized Galaxy Map, lively with activity. The Spice Trade establishes regular Ship Battles, separated into 3 level tiers, with a steadily increasing difficulty and set of rewards.

Boss Battles, Rare Events like Stardust Comets and Treasure Fleets, Traveling NPC Merchants and a host of new challenges are also waiting for players of all levels.



Encounters will have a wide variety of travel behaviors. Intercepting a ship will require you to travel to the marker’s next destination System, or its current docked location.



If an Encounter travels outside of your explored Galaxy Map, it will become unavailable until it returns to an explored sector.

Factions of Spice Traders offer access to rare and exotic Items for your hard-earned Void Particles and Stardust. These Traders will partially restock as they visit each system location.



The Spice Trade will continue to expand over the coming days as players familiarize themselves with the new system, with many surprises to be unveiled!
