• Farewell & thank you for everything! - 28 September 2018

  Dear junkers, first of all, we’d like to say a big THANK YOU for supporting Galactic Junk League. Unfortunately, our space battle has come to an end and we sadly have to announce that the game will be deactivated in 90 days which also includes the option of contacting customer support. Please note, that in-game payments have already been disabled. Fighting with you in the space arena has been an epic experience and together we have built many magnificent ships. However, these kinds of decisions are sometimes inevitable, even in post-apocalyptic worlds. Once again, thank you very much for your support and and we hope to see you all later, maybe in some other Pixel Federation game! Best wishes, Galactic Junk League Devs

• Patch 0.1.1173 - Bugfixes - 9 August 2017

  Hello Galactic Captains! We’re here with a bugfix and polish patch that irons out some issues that have come up after the full release. Bugfixes Fixed a bug that caused the Team Power-up not to display in the minimap once it spawned. Fixed a bug that caused global messages (such as ‘A team powerup has spawned’) during a match not to display properly. Several ability combination issues have been addressed (i.e for the Tactical Jump, Defensive Mode, Graviton Beam, Mark Target, Stasis Bubble). Fixed a bug, which caused the Generator Overload ability to remain available even after the block was destroyed. Fixed a bug that caused players who load into a match later not to see the correct status of Point Captures in the top UI panel. Fixed a bug that sometimes displayed the team with less points in a match as the winner. Fixed a bug that caused the number of ship likes not to display properly…

• Galactic Conquest - Full Release Changelog - 26 July 2017

  After months of preparations the full release is finally here! Whether you’re a newcomer or a regular player, this changelog will guide you through the changes. For players, who returned after a longer time, we’ve also included a summary of major updates since the release in January. New Game Mode - Galactic Conquest The main feature of this patch is the Galactic Conquest game mode. Prepare for tactical combat that will test your pilot skills and team cooperation!

• Dev Diary #29 - Introducing the New Game Mode - 18 July 2017

  Hello Galactic Captains! After weeks of preparations we’re ready to reveal the upcoming changes for the next major update. In this first part we’ll talk about our new game mode - Galactic Conquest! Galactic Conquest Game Mode The new game mode has three main objectives: Capturing Points Upgrading Capture Points Collecting Team Power-ups The first one - Capturing Points - is most important to victory. Owning Capture Points generates Team Score over time. The team that reaches the limit of 1200 Team Score first, wins the match. Each of our current maps has 3 Capture Points. We expect each match to last around 12 minutes depending on how evenly matched the teams are. Once your team captures Points it may upgrade them by collecting Point Upgrades. These are collectible items spread around the map. Collecting a Point Upgrade grants a Capture Point one of three upgrades in this order: Minefie…

• Patch 0.1.1152 – Introducing JunkBots! - 14 June 2017

  Hey there Galactic Captains! We’re here with another exciting patch. This time, the major change is the addition of bots into matches. There are also some balance changes and bugfixes. Bots JunkBots have been added to complement matchmaking matches. We have created several skill profiles for bots to create an adequate challenge for both early and late-game players. The skill and ship power rating of bots is determined based on the average power rating of human-controlled ships in a match. Matchmaking waiting times have been lowered for players across all levels, most significantly for new Rookie ship players, who will get a match almost immediately. For late-game players waiting times have also been reduced, while still leaving time for enough human players to assemble. The basic rule is this: The higher the level of a ship, the longer the waiting time and the higher the proportion of h…

• SUPERMASSIVE CYBERPUNK UPDATE – new abilities, skins, player profiles, US servers and more! - 12 April 2017

  Hey there, galactic captains! We’re here with a huuuge update with lots of content and new features. Whether you’re newcomer or a regular player, this changelog will guide through the changes. For players, who returned after a longer time we’ve also included a summary of major updates since the release in January. New Abilities This is how one of the new abilities (Bang!) works.

• Dev Diary #27 - Events - 31 March 2017

  Hey there, Galactic Junkers! My nickname is Palky and I am a new game designer in the Galactic Junk League team. I work at Pixel Federation for almost 5 years. I will be responsible for designing events in our game. As you might have noticed, we’ve already launched several smaller events (Pilot Licence weekends, Ship-building contests, Ship sales, etc.). And a big one called Irish Madness (around St. Patrick’s Day). Today, I wanna write about 2 new types of events, which we’re planning to create in the future and make the classic gameplay more rich and pleasant for you. Types of events We will create two types of events in Galactic Junk League – weekend events and special events. Both of these events will be time-limited and you will always be properly informed about their starting and ending dates. Each event will be connected with a certain type of rewards for both the winners and the…

• Patch v. 0.1.1129 – Core Change, Daily Quests #2, Builder improvements - 23 March 2017

  Ahoy Captains! We’re here with a major update with four significant features: The Core Shield bound to ship HP Improved Daily Quests Free Addons for ships Ship editing is now possible while searching for matches New Feature - Core Shield The ship core is now protected by a regenerating shield, whose HP % is based on the HP % of the whole ship. The shield turns off once the enemy ship’s HP drops below 50 %. Without the shield, the core still has its base HP. If the Core Shield is damaged beyond the proportional HP of the ship, then the shield regenerates after a few seconds. Here are the new core HP and core shield HP stats for each class: Rookie Ship (Core HP: 160/ Shield HP: 960); Frigate (180/1200); Cruiser (300/2000), Destroyer (240/1600), Battleship (375/2500) The goal of this feature is to discourage coring of full HP ships and focus players attention on targeting a ship's vital sy…
