(If you're aware of...

    EA Update 2 August 2021 (EA Build 529)

    EA update 31 July 2021 (Early Access build 526)

    Yes this should change prices too, however we have another update with more price changes coming possibly very soon. Edit: Ok we merged the two patches, so build number is now 526 instead of 525 and this includes reduced points for Research tree. Edit 2: Also fixed the forum permissions here...

    EA update 30 July 2021 (EA Build 523)

    The server IPs aren't a secret really, however if this happens again, a screenshot (shared privately) would be interesting to see. (Note that at least as of now the game has some trouble with PrtScr, so you have to use Alt+PrtScr instead to take the screenshot, or some separate screen capture...

    Station Siege FAQ

    Station Siege FAQ When is Station Siege coming? A few months after the Early Access launch. How is the size class of a station or capital ship decided? The size class will be around the volume of the station/capital ship. We'll figure out the exact numbers during the process, but the key idea...

    The Removal of Attachment Plates

    We are preparing a more informative post about this (and already were before all of this happened in Discord). It should answer many of these questions and concerns, just might take a while longer as we were not planning to announce this so suddenly. So hold tight, more info coming.

    Question regarding RMT.

    Officially speaking we do not want to get involved in any real world money transactions. We reserve the right to change our mind later if the world turns into that direction, but for now we do not want to endorse using Starbase in anything involving real world money. We will not allow it in the...

    Final review and suggestions before EA after 600 hours in CA

    Thanks for the feedback Niko (and everyone else who's posted similar thoughts in e.g. Discord). We're fully aware that an Early Access launch doesn't really protect from bad reviews and we're not counting on that either. Starbase will be a "true" Early Access game in the sense that we're...

    Capital Ships FAQ

    We'll have a Siege Mechanics feature video at a later date that will explain more of the intricacies of Capital Ships and the Military/Civilian use. Defense stations with station weapons is also something that will have more answers in the near future. But yes Capital Ships can be designed from...

    Capital Ships FAQ

    AFAIK the safezone acts as a shield/barrier and can be configured to not allow non-grouped members, for example. I suppose it can also be configured to allow anybody. Hah good question. This is related to multiple mechanics such as siege, so we'll probably decide/announce later. I've got some...

    Capital Ships FAQ

    Capital Ships FAQ How much does it cost to build a Capital Ship? Capital Ships are expensive and will require a lot of materials. However they also come in various sizes. We estimate Capital Ships will be at least 10x more expensive than stations (maybe even more). Warp charge up time Warp...
