    [RESOLVED]Banned from Official discord will my CA access be revoked

    Hi Robort! As a partnered server, our Discord server upholds Discord's TOS more strictly than the average server might; and so, for as long as a user has BetterDiscord installed, so too will the ban stay in effect. However, alpha access won't be affected by this server ban.

    Griefing and social engineering policies

    Let's keep the faction drama out of this, please, and try to keep the discussion to the more salient points of social engineering rather than devolve to he-said-she-said.

    About the release date(not psychological pressure words

    Gonna go ahead and close this thread, as I believe it has run its course.

    To the people that got CA and those that haven't

    This is a fine discussion to have, but if we're going to continue having it then we'll need to be a little more mindful of how we treat each other's viewpoints, please. Fewer sarcastic "got'ems" and more objective stances would go miles towards a more constructive conversation, I think.

    About the release date(not psychological pressure words

    It's worth noting that the vast majority of the content seen in the feature videos is not actually yet implemented in the alpha. I assume many people see these videos and figure that these are completed features that just need a little polish before release, where in reality they are buggy and...

    Do headshots matter?

    Live endoskeletons are one of the few things you can't bolt to; and, as I recall, there aren't any plans to make it doable. As for the nature of armor: it is indeed entirely cosmetic, and doesn't actually affect anything apart from the aesthetic - even hitboxes remain the same.

    Thoughts about PeerToPeer (P2P)

    Everything persists when the player goes offline, though it will stop being simulated; that is, ship flight, YOLOL, etcetera, all stops when the host of those objects disconnects, but the objects themselves remain. As for the earlier concerns about P2P vulnerability and DDOSing: it's been...

    Getting Rid Of The Wait

    It'd be a slightly less populated dimension for sure, but I don't think it'd necessarily be boring. It seems viable for there to be enough environmental hazards and piracy to make it interesting - but realistically, you'd hopefully not be spending hours in it. I'd guess it could be made to pair...

    Getting Rid Of The Wait

    I don't think it would necessarily be so complex that their attention would be split like that. Hazards in that dimension would probably run on the same tech that they're planning for nebulae, etcetera, and you could perhaps mitigate the issue entirely by limiting the time that a player can...

    Getting Rid Of The Wait

    I'm of mixed opinion on it, but I think if there needs to be a warp drive of some kind, then it should be of a similar concept to things like Slipspace from Halo. Rather than visibly hopping around the regular universe, ships would open a temporary portal to an alternate dimension inside of...

    Thoughts about PeerToPeer (P2P)

    I can understand wanting to know more about the system, but Starbase's complex simulation cannot realistically run on anything besides the peer-to-peer model that they're utilizing.

    Ship combat is missing something

    Let's try to keep it respectful, please; constant sarcasm and "got'ems" are not conducive to a healthy discussion.

    Clarification about dev faction blueprint sharing (don't do it)

    This doesn't sit well with me, either. I can sort of understand that Empire and Kingdom need some extra considerations (though I don't like it) since they're intended to provide some measure of balance to the universe, and help to induct new players into the game. I can completely understand...

    Economy the current state and how to do it better

    On a purely aesthetic/mouthfeel choice, I do agree though. If the only difference is someone saying, "my ship cost 100,000 credits" or, "my ship cost 100 million credits," I'd much rather see the former. I really can't think of a benefit in having that much granularity.

    If you would see a Space Station somewhere, would you attack it or scout it out first? Or would you do something completely different?

    Neither cameras nor video screens exist in-game or in concept form.

    [MAC] Will Starbase be compatible with Mac

    There aren't, but if any of the new Macs support dual booting (see: none of the M1s) then you'll likely be able to play still if you run a Windows installation.
