Note -

Pixel Starships is totally free to play and is designed for fair balance for all players. However, there are in-app items that can be purchased for real money to help speed up progress or offer cosmetic and unique improvements. Real currency purchases are not required to fully progress to end game. There are also idle mechanics in the game akin to EVE or Clash of Clans. This is not an FTL style rogue-like game.
