Introducing: The Crystal Plague!

[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

Today we are thrilled to announce an upcoming feature to Pixel Starships. Introducing: Season Rewards!



Seasons will focus on a distinct theme and event, updating game lore and granting access to unique rewards. Each Season will last 2 months (or 8 weeks).



The first chapter begins in October with the launch of Season 1: The Crystal Plague.



  • During The Crystal Plague, players can progress through 50 Tiers to earn new rewards, including a brand new range of consumable items; Double XP, Instant Re-arm, Double Loot & much more!
  • Season Points are rewarded upon completing a Daily or Seasonal Task. Daily Tasks appear 3 per day, rewarding 5 Points each.
  • Seasonal tasks will unlock on a weekly basis, rewarding 10 Points each. Player’s will have the entire Season to complete these tasks.




By completing Tasks and progressing through the entire Season (1000 points total), players will gain access to limited edition cosmetics that will not be available in the future.

These include Brand New customization options we have never seen before in Pixel Starships, including unique Ship Shields, Engine Trails, and more!



We have worked tirelessly to ensure a fair environment for all players. We hope that the lower price point will help to support the continued development of the game, while the increased attention to Free To Play is set to enhance the experience for all.



After significant amounts of internal testing and polish, we would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Please visit the Feedback section of our Official Discord and subreddit, or to become a Content Tester, please register your interest in the #test-registration Channel.



Thank you for taking the time to catch up with development and for a sneak peek into what we have planned for players in the very near future. We cannot wait to announce what else we have in store for the future.

Good Hunting, Captains!

[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.
