v2.9.0 8 October 2026

The Long Arc

Legend ranks unlock Tier 7 hulls and level-8 structures, Tier 6 and 7 hulls on every line, epics that grow with you, four luxuries, longer cloaks and bank bonds.

Something to chase past level 100, and things worth spending a fortune on. Update the Android app from Google Play to get the new screens.

Legend ranks unlock real things

  • Every 100,000 XP past level 100 is a Legend rank, and now they open content:
    • Legend 5: Tier 7 hulls.
    • Legend 10: planet structures at level 8.
    • Legend 20: the rarest luxury stock.
    • Legend 40: an exclusive title (Eternal Guardian, Legend Eternal, or Undying Scourge) and the epithet the Ascendant.
  • Your Captain’s Log shows the Legend ladder once you’re close.

Bigger ships

  • Tier 6 and Tier 7 hulls on every line: T6 from level 85 (625k, about 480 holds), T7 from Legend 5 (1.5M, about 720 holds). The neutral line stays 10% cheaper, and Federation hulls keep their extra shields.
  • Epic hulls grow with you. Your epic becomes Tier 6 at level 85 and Tier 7 at Legend 5, and keeps its signature ability. Upgrades you’ve bought carry over.
  • Writ of the Council fixed and boosted: correct shields, a stronger sensor edge, and +10% defence. Cartographer’s Dream now scans one ring further.
  • Lost your epic? Re-commission it for 250k, once per season.

Bigger planets

  • Structure levels 6–8: level 6 at captain level 80, level 7 at level 100, and level 8 at Legend 10. Starbase requirements are unchanged.

Luxuries

  • Full-Hold Cloak (25M, black market): customs scans find nothing in your hold for 24 hours.
  • Forged Credentials (50M, black market): dock at one Stardock for 7 days, whatever your reputation. A live warrant still gets you arrested.
  • Starbase Hull-Swap Bay (40M, Stardock): switch hulls at your own starbase and take your cargo with you.
  • Second Module Slot (100M, Stardock, Legend 20): fit a second Cargo Compressors or Shield Booster.
  • Longer cloaks: 8 hours for 15k and 24 hours for 60k, alongside the 2-hour cloak. StarNav 4 still sees through all of them.

Bank bonds

  • Lock credits in a 7-day bond and earn up to 2%. Bonds are paid from a pool fed by fees and fines across the galaxy, never created from nothing. Cashing in early costs 1% and forfeits the yield.
