    Known bugs and known workarounds

    Continuing with helpful tips (to be added later in some guide, whether it's dev or community made): # Ship Designer: Major lag when moving/rotating objects etc Problem description "Still having that issue where moving or rotating isolated unbolted parts, bolted parts, bolting, unbolting...

    Competition, Fairness, and Dev Intervention

    Indeed, I would like to state that the original issue is legit and understood by us. We have talked about these internally and are implementing "dev rules" as I mentioned before. We will post these rules publicly as well. I believe these will be sufficient at least for the time being. The rules...

    EULA and Code of Conduct -- No RMT?

    That will be a violation of the EULA indeed. Just not written down yet (the EULA now is pretty barebones). We'll refine it a few times in the runup to Early Access launch, we'll add something about this in the next version, thanks. :)

    Update 3.9.2020 (Build 237)

    I'm providing second-hand info here, but this is my understanding: * No problem with the ships at all * New bug creeped in Ship Designer at the last minute - related to rotating ships (it breaks welded connections) * The ships in the Shop have been rotated, thus they are broken because of it...

    Starbase Alpha - EULA and Code of Conduct

    Hi all, Here below you can find the current version of the EULA/Code of Conduct (see all posts) for Starbase Alpha. We'll be revising this from time to time (it's not yet complete). We'll eventually move this to the website before Early Access launch (and include e.g. Developer participation...

    Competition, Fairness, and Dev Intervention

    Dev participation in general - it's probably something we'll have to iterate on. Lauri will be speaking his mind throughout Early Access, just like now, I'm sure, so players who are on the Discord server and actively follow things may always gain a small advantage. We can probably implement...

    Competition, Fairness, and Dev Intervention

    Thanks for the feedback! We do appreciate it, even if a lot of our replies tend to be along the same lines of "Early Access" (will magically fix things). But in this case the answer is something else. I personally think Starbase is a lot more than just "competitive" or more than a sandbox -...

    Player-made Ship Shops

    Yes, we envision players being able to set up all kinds of storefronts. The ships is just the easiest to start with, others will follow. :)

    Player-made Ship Shops

    I agree completely. I hope that our development becomes a bit less hectic in EA and allows us to communicate more (and in advance). In Closed Alpha we strive to be a bit more "agile" with our development and decisions (somewhat similar to what we would do in a fully closed development...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 30 (2020)

    I have created a separate thread in Alpha announcements to discuss this. In one word, yes, Okim Industries is the first faction to get their own Ship Shop. We'll create Ship Shops for any factions that have more than 20 ships created, and eventually this process will be completely player-led...

    Player-made Ship Shops

    Hey all, here's a clarification regarding Ship Shops (sparked by the Week 30 Progress Notes). Our vision for Starbase is that any player (or faction) can create content freely and make that available for other players - including Ship Shops. However right now we are still in Alpha, and not all...

    Letter to the Devs: Gunship Event & Player Behavior

    Using a test server for the events would be an additional barrier for everyone, and probably wouldn't really deter the wrongdoers (they have to follow event instructions even now, I don't think anyone just plays the game and then takes part in an event on a whim). So at this point it's probably...

    Letter to the Devs: Gunship Event & Player Behavior

    Thanks for the feedback. We noticed some of this behavior internally as well. We don't have a lot of "organizational" features in the game at the moment, or generally any features for the events as such, so the events tend to be very chaotic - and rely on all players' good will, which by the...

    Known bugs and known workarounds

    I'm starting this thread mostly for myself to keep track of some bugs that tend to happen from time to time, mostly stuff that we discuss in Discord. And more importantly only bugs that have solutions that we haven't yet fixed in the game. We have a couple of internal ways to track bugs as well...

    Direction for Alpha Testers

    We're working on better feedback... feedback. :) This will most likely take the form of improved features for the Feedback Tool itself, which means it takes a while. Right now we are still pretty early in the Alpha progress that we don't have a set of "suggestions" - we're doing the combat...

    Very special Starbase music pack

    I have updated the link (uses a different URL). It probably expired, might've been my mistake - this one will expire in 2025. New link here just in case: Starbase_very_special_music_pack.zip Edit Nov 2020: I've updated the link again, looks like the format changed a bit.

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 21 (2020)

    Thanks everyone, we're happy to hear everybody's excited. :) Regarding Closed Alpha - right now we have "enough" people playing, we're taking things a bit slow for a moment. We have found many bugs that we want to get fixed, and we've decided to add a couple of features before we invite new...
