    Gameplay Mechanics and Incentives in Starbase - A Forward-Looking Review

    You're probably a better pilot than I am, but I've wrecked three ships already to collisions. "Wrecked" isn't the same as "totaled". Two could still fly, but were damaged so much I couldn't repair them successfully by hand so sold them off. The other had to be towed. As for limitations, the...

    Alpha Profile

    I just learned that I'm missing a bunch of forums when I was linked to a forum thread I don't have access to. I was accepted to the closed alpha; can someone apply the 'closed alpha' flag to my account?
