Yes should be safe now, sorry for not clarifying that originally.

Update 11.12.2020 (Alpha 314) Hotfix Added a setting to toggle Ship Designer's automatic thruster naming on/off Off by default, toggle in Settings -> Spaceship Designer -> Selection

Warning! Building progress may disappear Building progress may disappear! Read the separate warning post. SOLVED: Warning! MFC autonaming may rename your thrusters We are getting reports that the MFC autonaming system is not working as intended, and will rename all thrusters. This happens...

Please see Patch Notes for the Alpha build 312. There is a known issue which has come to our attention. When building a station, any progress can disappear after you leave. This seems to be able to occur with all methods of building: building tool, automatic building, and welding. Thus, we...

Right now there is no way to obtain a blueprint ingame. We will revise the rules once that is possible and the ingame blueprint access control systems are done. We do want to allow the espionage kind of gameplay (at least that's the current thinking, not a direct promise). Same goes for selling...

The wording is a bit tricky to get right, the intention is to allow factions to come up with their own rules without it being in conflict with our general rules. I've edited the post a little bit; removed the publicly part and added a specific "if within faction community" part. Once blueprint...

We have an update We will add the separate decal pieces from Spatha and Knight to the game directly. This should remove most of the need for the current Spatha and Knight blueprints for ship builders. Here's a preview of the decal plates that will be added in the next patch: Sharing of the...

Thanks for the feedback all. We should have an update on this later today and I'll provide some comments after that.

I've fixed the issues in the post. We're following the general feedback and will see if further clarifications or changes are needed, looks like this stirred up some feedback that we'll have to address.

We have a clarification regarding dev faction blueprints. This is a simple rule: Do not share dev blueprints without explicit permission! For further clarification: In Empire, devs will share the blueprints to designated members. Non-dev members are not allowed to share any Empire ship...

Code of Conduct - additional Discord rules These are additional guidelines and specific case rules to our Discord rules, which can be found on #rules in the official Starbase Discord server. Sharing personal information (DON'T!) DO NOT use a developer's real name in discussions (Discord, game...

Generally we want to allow "creativity" in the universe, like the above example by Axel. However in Starbase that would probably only happen at a more distant (player) station that doesn't have safezone enabled. We'll tweak rules as we go along, but we remain adamant that new players will be...

Quick clarification regarding the asteroid sizes: The sizes 9 and 10 here match the previous patch note sizes 8 and 9. So if we go by the player definition, the sizes are called 9 and 10.

The Alpha signup doesn't require Discord, anybody with a Steam account can sign up. We will select people from the list and not just Discord, especially going forward. :)

I didn't remember this was the Alpha forums, so added the signature out of habit for people who might read it without knowing. :LOL: We'll see about the publishing of the survey results. It's really for us internally to keep track of the overall progress, but I see why it would be interesting...

Thanks, these are all agreeable points. We're working on all of these. The saying you were looking for, the one that we also like, is probably this: See here for some later reflection. This is of course a bit subjective and there are some exceptions, but generally delaying is almost always the...

Camping on the safezone border is probably going to be allowed. Space is big, we don't think it'll be 2000 players waiting for innocent prey at the borders... If it becomes a problem (for newbies or otherwise), we can have some technical measures to prevent this. We will define these cases...

We'll have to look into this further, but ideally if you only use such input tweaks to make the game work better with your setup (i.e. enabling controllers), that sounds fine. If the intent is to optimize game features and get an unfair advantage by doing so, that's a different story... There's...

That phrase is a genuine Emperor phrase lifted from Discord. ;) CV will probably have at least some connection to moderation actions, full extent yet to be determined though. This kind of faction war/conflict would probably happen outside of the safezones. Generally players who join a faction...

Here's a couple of topics from Discord that came up. Please note that these are not yet official rules (Code of Conduct), we will post them separately at a later time around Early Access launch. Key takeaways The most important things to us: 1) Allow players to play the game safely if they...
