We hope you have had some excellent matches during June’s Tournament Finals.
The Tournament Prize for June was a Limited Edition Accessory, Summit’s Sphere! An alternate version, Hydrone 2.0, is now available in the Dove Store.
Pixel Starships will be seeing many significant changes in the near future, and we would like to take this opportunity to provide an update.
Fleet Contributions
Included in Patch 0.997.1 (released), Fleets now have the ability to set a Minimum Star Contribution Requirement in order to receive Tournament Rewards.
These requirements can be set by Fleet Admirals within the Fleet Options Menu, and are clearly displayed to all Members.
Fleet members will not see increased rewards in the event that others do not meet set Requirements. Requirements can be changed during Tournament Finals Week.
Rush Command
Arriving in a future update, The Rush Command Crew Ability will be undergoing core mechanic changes.
While not yet confirmed, these changes will likely be tied to the Crew’s Current Room HP value.
Missile Rooms
Arriving in a future update, all Missile Rooms will use ENGINEERING as their core supporting Stat.
This includes the Missile Launcher, Multi-Missile Launcher, Rocket Artillery Launcher, Auxiliary Missile Launcher, Cruise Missile Launcher, and Missile Array Rooms. As previously mentioned, the Hwacha Artillery Launcher also uses the ENG stat.
Division Tournament Rewards
Arriving in a future update, the amount of Doves and Starbux provided to each Tournament Division will undergo rebalancing to highlight the different needs between developing and top Fleets.
More information will be available in the near future.
We will be unveiling our plans for more new and updated content soon. In particular, Captains can look forward to enhanced Live AI Events, Spice Trade Encounters, Traders, and Rewards!
With the Supernova Battle Season soon coming to a close, don’t forget to get those Tasks finished and be on the lookout for the Mid-Summer Season!
The End of Summer Splash Event is also just around the corner, with plenty more to follow.
Thank you for all of your provided feedback, leading to many of the fixes noted above. You can join these discussions in the Feedback section of our Official PSS Discord and subreddit.

These patches are bundled in as well. We apologize about the sheer size but steam does have a character limit for news post else we would just combine it all into one thread.

Hey everyone! A new patch is just released and here is the changelog.
Now there is a mid-size update next in the pipeline instead of a patch. It will include the new CCTV system, parking attendants for auto towing, an archive menu for document managing, jackpot mechanics, a separate new room for casino cashiers, and a new system for room assigning.
FIXED:
Fixed an issue where the utility connection slot availability check was not working while placing items.
Resolved the problem of utility lines merging after loading.
Addressed the issue of settings menu selections reverting to default after restarting the game.
Fixed the problem of the employee vending prices policy not being saved.
Addressed the issue where changing the pricing of mini bars from the pricing menu affected the price of another service.
Fixed some UI typos.
Resolved the problem of room security value not syncing after resolving issues with connected CCTV monitoring tables.
Fixed pathfinding issues for builders when the floor is only reachable by employee elevators.
Addressed problems in the restroom selection process for customers and employees.
Fixed the issue with snap position placement of items not working correctly.
CHANGED:
Employees now start coming to work 2 hours before their shift.
Increased customer usage of restrooms.
Changed the positions of utility slot connections for commercial washing machines.
Save file loading now executes after opening the saved games menu and selecting a casino. This significantly decreases the game start loading time when there are many saved files.
The top info money bar now shows the total of salaries and taxes owed rather than just the tax debt.
The camera now also follows the target after a go-to command.
ADDED:
Added a hotkey to fill all of the room when placing wallpaper.
