Lately we runnin' some internal events to keep mateys in shape for upcoming action and grabbing of... ... favorite thing of every pirate -- BOOty!

I not 100% following developer talks/comments (maybe missed something in Discord or here), but I wonder, if there is any better plan for SZ? Its obviously now too profitable -- veterans, using behemoth laser ships, farming it relentlessly, to extent, when they get comparable (and I will not be...

Yes. Yet it goes tricky quick. Because it can go 2 fundamentaly different roads: 1) If industry/trade guy integrated in "big game", like bankrolling some war or profiteering from it (or both), managing assets in crisis enviroment, tries to remove competition by someones hands -- its totaly...

Population stability in such games (relativly niche ones) seriously tied to health of PvP-oriented organizations, because they keep people together and, most importantly -- active, making them log-in regulary for activities, stay long hours. For them to be healthy, there is need for social...

What this even means? Its utter gaslighting nonsense. PvP questions or especialy "griefers" has nothing to do with JC career, considering DU during his time had very small ammount of PvP, that was 100% skippable. If anything done by players ever actualy influenced JC career -- it was...

BOO is called cartel not for fun: we quite wide in our interests! Including running some friendly local pirate media! Read new opinion slice article about PvP/PvE balance: https://hookpawedmouse.blogspot.com/2021/09/is-pvppve-balance-achievable-in-starbase.html

Want to see some BOO action? We have some extra cool action/montage from our adventerous swashbuckling duo:

Some art and media updates (check out Luna's channel). As side note: if you run pirate/pvp faction and up to media involvement, feel free to contact me.

Is SB context its all about resources. Non-PvP players (honestly, they nothing to do with PvE, they are "economic PvPers", miners, later industrialists) hate to be challenged in resource/money grab by risk of being killed or robbed. PvP players (obviously wanting more targets and drama)...

There is super-simple and effective solution: Disable mining lasers in Origin SZ, so newbiews can mine without problem on pickaxe level, while old greedy people will be forced out.

Some minor (but important) info updates in topic. As bonus! One may ask why honeybadger is our totem animal? Check it out:

Its seriously beyond your comprehension? As in aswer above, you just methodicly changing to larger ship in several stages. Its matter of several days/week of active play. When 500-1000 laser miner is reached (probably by saving up and buying ready built one) -- its fast (one of the fastest in...

You saying complete nonsense all over your post. "Little newbie miner" (you so eagerly use as hero of your fairytale) can easly earn millions never leaving SZ and build like 10 first or last ships he ever desired. If he smart enough to go into options and allow his ship to leave SZ, then he...

Yes, this concerns me too, especialy considering siege (and most importantly -- attacking capital) will be open to 3rd parties. It means, basicly, it will be more advantagous to not initiate siege, then but just do some backstabbbing action around for fun, risking nothing. Pretty much attacker...

SZ already too big and kind (you can make millions never leaving it). Every economical step in game must be realisticly (not theorethicly) oposed by risk of PvP or game economy will be eventualy ruined by 24/7 hoarders/grinders. Want good stuff - risk. What best stuff - risk even more. Why...

There is two layers here. I agree, that its meaningless to fanaticly argue for why X costs more then Y or some other purely numerical value (that will be changed dozen times from now) or about some feature being delayed 4 weeks not 2 weeks (because reality of development). At same time...

We made quite long interview-like article with different PvP (and one not so PvP) people about capitals, stations, organic pvp, mining, all this balance/loop system. So maybe it will be of some value to discussion: https://hookpawedmouse.blogspot.com/2021/08/testy-test.html

Well, we killed/robbed yesterday 7 kk worth [ITC} plasma hauler, using... lets say, more refined means to achieve it. There is 2 main problems currently with pro piracy: 1) No ammount of intel can help you against ship moving 150 m/s -- its not DU where you can have all kind of fancy tools...

Real pirates knows how to deal with... alternative fortune. Part of the job! by [BOO] IvanGrozniy

Bit of BOO in action!
