    Do headshots matter?

    There's no special consequences to losing limbs, including the head (as of yet). Though I haven't found details on the numerical specifics: https://wiki.starbasegame.com/index.php/Damage

    Robur Rumble - This is how coordinated fighter pvp battles currently look like

    Some action-packed gameplay from the recent Robur event. Good if you're wondering what VC-communicated PvP looks like.

    Gunships

    Following with some highly speculative ideas not knowing how SB engine works: Moving mass: Is it possible to make the moving parts of turret massless and instead add all their accumulated mass to the stationary turret base? Similar to how cargo crates work. Moving parts / physics: Make a...

    Gunships

    All, or just part of this? I'm positive to gunship buffs, negative to turret removal: Gunships and turrets are atm big slow joke that any cheap fighter can harass. I personally would enjoy changes that promote the case where seeing a giant gunship was actually something scary and threatening...

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

    I don't think they ever explicitedly said that? > "Colors we are still discussing but there is a sentiment internally that they should remain perks of dev factions." I too percieved it as just limiting "Empire Orange" and "Kingdom Blue", but the statement is a bit vague. 🤷‍♂️ So an actual...

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

    I'm all for strongly protecting blueprints and punishing BP file stealers, but locking colors I must disagree with. If there's a need for unique restricted visuals, one could implement faction-restricted decals / stamps. If there is ever a need of restricting what base parts are available in...

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

    Not everyone need to make CA feedback about themselves. This whole rule declaration was due to someone uploading ship files from Empire and Kingdom, and hurts every ship designer. Even if they don't care about "being competitive", the lack of control on BP mechanics enables anyone to lie and...

    Griefing and social engineering policies

    1) Does that mean, after safezone patch, that an unfinished foundation can be destroyed? 2) Is there any ETA on mechanics disabling safezones / capture on a foundation-finished station? Will it be possible to destroy/capture one before EA wipe? 3) What's the radius of the playermade safezone...

    ISAN v2.0 Beta: Open source navigation / coordinate system

    ISAN V2.0 BETA Those of you who keep up-to-date with what happens inside Closed Alpha, might've heard of ISAN before. It's a YOLOL project giving you XYZ coordinates for navigation, like a GPS. It has quickly become widely adopted by many ship designers in CA. To further improve upon ISAN, the...

    Is there a coordinate system in YOLOL

    There's no native coordiante system. However, many ship designers in Closed Alpha have now started putting ISAN on their ships. That lets you see coordinates.

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 29 (2020)

    These mounted weapons look awesome! Something to fill the gap between puny infantry weapons and full ship cannons. I hope they're: - Mouse controlled - Provide some armor plating to gunner - Can eventually be mounted on both ships and station lots

    ISAN - Starbase GPS / YOLOL Navigation

    Correct. You don't get the coordinates directly. However, their messages contain distance. Using the known distance to multiple station transmitters along with their distance/location relative to each other, you can calculate intersection point of their virtual spheres by trilateration...
