Common questions asked by new players 

The below questions are asked by new players constantly. And, to be frank, it’s annoying - so here are some common questions and some answers to those extremely common questions. Hope this helps!

Good resources

  • PIXEL PERFECT GUIDE - this should be your number one resource for learning how to play the game.

  • PIXYSHIP - A place to play with the designs of your ship, explore crew, and watch the in-game market prices to optimize your earnings. (Site is buggy.)

  • PSS SUBREDDIT

HOw do I join a fleet?

You need to be level four before you can join a fleet and you will need to build a Fleet Council room. Only after you have built the room and installed it on your ship, will you be able to join a fleet.

What if i cannot sell in the market?

If you find that you do not have a sell option, you will need to research GBAY in the lab. Keep in mind, however, that not all items/objects can be sold in the market!

What is a mineral or gas swap?

A mineral or gas swap is when two players want to store that resource in their inbox. This is a nice way to keep more materials in your account, without them sitting in your inventory - which has a maximum capacity.

How do I min/gas Swap?

  1. Find a player that agrees to swap with you.

  2. When that is done, go do your inventory and press a mineral or gas crate (it doesn’t really matter which).

  3. Then press Sell.

  4. Select your currency type - Gas or Mineral and set your agreed upon price.

    1. The most common amount if 500K, in which you will be selling your crate for 500K of either gas or minerals.

  5. The other player will buy this crate from you and you will receive 400K - as PSS takes a 20% sellers tax.

  6. Then, go to the market, sort by the agreed upon currency (gas or mineral) and find the crate that was posted by the person you agreed to swap with - then buy their crate.

  7. The result is: you have bought their 500K (worth) crate, and they have received 400K in resources in their inbox. Likewise, they have purchased from you - and you now have those resources in your inbox.

  8. Keep those resources in your inbox until you need them, and continue to grind in the meantime to earn more resources!
