Pixel Starships 2 released what may be its most ambitious update ever. Patch 0.9.105 brings with it two new progression systems.
Prestige System
The first is called the Prestige system. How it works is that players can reset and empower veteran crew members and in return unlock enhanced potential beyond their original limits. As part of this new progression line, there's a feature known as Egg Hatching. It lets players get that fresh path to recruit powerful new crew members.
Recycling System
The second is the Recycling System. With this, captains can put their unwanted crew and items to work and then obtain valuable formulas and resources. This feature ships with a redesigned Sacrifice panel to support as much as four unique yield cells. It gives players clear and at-a-glance visibility into exactly what they'll receive.
Limited-Time Dove Boxes
In celebration of the new update's release, the Dove Shop is stocking new Prestige, Memory Eraser, and Laxative Boxes. However, don't take too long to decide since this offer is only for a limited time.
New Legendary Crews
Players should be happy to know that Legendary Crews can now be unlocked. The five formidable new recruits who are ready to enlist include Pinkzilla, King Dong, Celestial Sprite, Loong, and the Infernal Alchemist.
Smarter Systems and Smoother Play
Update 0.9.105 offers a long list of gameplay refinements that's designed to make fleet management faster and fairer. These include:
- Instant FTL Jumps: A new time-based Starbux conversion lets captains complete FTL jumps immediately.
- Fairer FTL Escapes: Fleeing battle with zero FTL charges no longer triggers an automatic forfeit.
- Smarter Starbux Spending: Room-upgrade purchases now automatically collect uncollected inbox resources first.
- Resource Protection: Fixed a bug causing uncollected Minerals or Gas to vanish when moving or deselecting rooms.
- Fleet Council Validation: Strengthened onboard checks for Fleet Council features.
- Bedroom Build Times: Reduced construction duration for early-level Bedrooms.
- Legendary League Matchmaking: LLPVP now ignores immunity once per day when matching other Legendary League players, opening cross-league matches afterward.
