Todaybour Day…


As the month draws to a close, Snakehead Fans, so does the Writing Contest enter its last month! And, in fact, the early bird special ends tomorrow! (There’s still time if you’ve got just a little bit more to do…remember, it’s 1000 points in the game of your choice if your submission is in and valid by September 1st – and an additional 4000 to one lucky entrant into the bargain – all awarded at the end of the long [...]

The Snakehead Interviews – Priyanka Jain


There’s nothing like a good piece of art, and I for one have NEVER produced a good piece of art. I mean, sure, Mom put my crayon drawings up on the fridge, even when I was fifteen years old, but I understand now that she was just…sorry, Snakehead Fans, where was I going with this? Ah, that’s right. Art. Today I sat down with Priyanka Jain, an intern of ours whose artistic talent has graced and will be gracing several [...]

The High Ground


Can I call it or what, folks? In the wake of Captain Athena’s latest missive, the spies prove they’ve been hard at work… Spybattle 2165 Level 50: Loops Level 60: Emma Peel Level 100: Perry The Platypus Special Commendations: Boreas and Maxwell Smart for each scoring a swank new space lab. (So THAT’S what the spy community’s been working on…if they weren’t set in entirely different points in history, I’d recommend the pirates watch their backs!) Star Pirates Level 50: [...]

Free Captain’s Log #2


Free Captain’s Log (Space Date – August 24, 2198) (Captain Athena’s Personal Log) Writing Contest! Have you heard the word, pirates? Snakehead’s Writing Contest is in full swing – not only that, but there’s now an early bird special as well! They’ve pledged 1000 points for everyone who gets a submission in before September 1st – more if enough people are in by that time. I don’t know about you, but I can feel my writing fingers getting itchy just [...]

Free Captain’s Log Stub: Bind To Install


Free Captain’s Log (Space Date – August 23, 2198) (Captain Athena’s Personal Log) So I’ve just got off the horn with the AI Council. We’re overhauling our tech, it seems, and I was confused about what it all meant until I got a hold of one of them…Splinter…Splinter of…Splinter Cord? Something like that. Anyway, Bind To Install, it’s called. And it’s a lot less scary than it sounds. When the upgrade goes through on September 4th, all upgradable rare-or-higher items [...]

2165 APB: New “Bind-To-Install” Policy


This communique is for all agents, formerly or presently active. Spread the word – yes, even to your rivals. While Star Pirates BTI is going live on September 4th, the time of implementation for Spybattle is currently undefined. Any erroneous information you received previously is undoubtedly down to Sons of Earth shenanigans. Shame on them. In brief, any tool, armour or weapon you currently have equipped that is upgradable, is of rare-or-higher availability and has not already been upgraded to [...]

The Seventeenth and Feeling Fine


Do you hear that sound, Snakehead fans? The buzzing? The clanking and grinding of nanotech pistons?

This week, the following people deserve your praise and admiration. THEM AND THEM ALONE Spybattle 2165 Level 70: Bignasty Star Pirates Level 50: Nairdowell Level 60: conan, Samael Venom of God Level 70: Zayden Level 140: Medon
