New Features!

Hey all,

With the update, we have some new features to highlight:
Players of the Week: Instead of PotD we now have players of the week. Your weekly rating will reset to 1500 and the top 5 ratings at the end of the week will be awarded prizes.

Pin/Unpin Part Cards: You can now pin and examine a part card by clicking on the little yellow card icon. This allows you to tooltip over mods/actions on the card and find out more info. To unpin, just click off the card.

Sounds: Time to unclick that mute sound button and listen to some new sounds including battle music!

You can see a full list on the forum here: http://www.anticentertainment.com/jbforum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4856

Cheers

Bigpoint Full of Junk. News at 11.

Bigpoint, a particularly large, primarily European portal site for browser-based games, is now full of Junk... Battles.

We launched Junk:Battles on Bigpoint today, and we're bringing our hardcasual gaming experience to even more pilots. Bigpoint pilots have their own shiny servers to play on, so performance for existing players and new players alike have the best possible scenario.

See you in the arena,
Antic Entertainment

The Update is Here!

Thank you all for waiting patiently. The update is finally here with lots of great improvements in store!

Achievement note: Some of you may notice some progress weirdness 15/10 etc. It just means the achievement was added after you already met the requirements, do one more of the requirements and it'll kick in for you.

Strength note: With the new strength calculator in place you will notice much higher numbers than before, don't be alarmed if a part adds 50 :)

Happy Battling!

Apologies to all, and we'll let you know as soon as we're ready to update again.
