There is a large amount of content ahead as we close in on 1.0. Captains can look forward to new additions, refined gameplay, and core content updates.

In particular – we will be announcing new Pilot Craft and Pilot Room designs! These exciting additions are already undergoing testing, and will be arriving much sooner than you may think!

[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

We would like to provide an update about our recent post Fair Play and Automation.

In this post, we outlined our recent actions against users that have actively breached our EULA, resulting in a large number of suspended accounts.



After a thorough and extensive investigation, we have completed a full catalog of all proceeds from illegitimately sourced Starbux.

This includes, but is not limited to: Items, Crew, Training, Crafting, and Market transactions.

Any player that received a warning in place of a suspension will notice any of these gains revoked from their account.



We would like to take a moment to underline our earlier stance:
We take Market Integrity very seriously and remain firm on its importance within any player-driven economy.



We will continue to take a strong stance against any breach of EULA under extensive data analysis.

Thank you for taking the time to review this important announcement. 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]

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.
