    EA Update 1.9.2021 (Early Access Build 581)

    Looks like you fogot to mention slapping the scope overlay when you zoom from a pilot seat.. Not sure why this is but it's there.. could this be clarified?

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    First off, I never did suggest PVP to be organised. I have no idea where you get that from. I am observing a trend where "the PVP group" seems to be fixated on getting access to easy targets, preferable unarmed, instead of engaging in PVP with others who can and will put up an actual fight...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    For starters, RUST is not a MMO, it is a multiplayer survival game. and the only reason it survived as a game is because it has dedicated servers. Most if not all games which have the behaviour you talk about pretty much survive because of that. and there is good reason why the DarksideRP Atlas...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    Who says no ECM like mechanics are coming? Radiation mechanics by themselves could very well be used to create ECM. I wonder what you consider ECM to be, as it seems you have a limited understanding of the concept. ECM are any device or tool intended to interrupt, mislead or deflect an...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    That's fair enough @Alendo .. A lot of complaints either way woudl rewally be due to the game being early alpha and incomplete. Personally I'm fine with that and can see those issues get worked out over time, for instance once ECM like functionality comes in to allow non combatant players to...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    A general observation... What is interesting is several here being very upset and annoyed if anyone speak up against anything anyone in their circles does, yet at ever possible opportunity do the exact same thing they accuse others of. Yes, I agree that generalizing PVPers are griefers in...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 34 (2021)

    @ViribusEgoVis I understand your point, I just do not see it as an issue in the stage the game is at. No need to change anyone's mind ;)

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 34 (2021)

    @ViribusEgoVis Content >balancing is not how it works in game development. You design, program, QA in house, balance, back to QA in house, implement in public build, get data, balance based onthat data when needed. The game is quite a ways away from being ready for "new content" and being a...

    Research + Crafting Progression Values WAY too high

    I kind of expect that once the core game is done, FB may introduce a skill tree which will allow us to train skills, improving specific things, much like EVE has.. Could see things like weapons range/falloff/accuracy, engine performance, fuel efficiency, carry capacity and more.. This would...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    If you can let me know where to mine Arkanium, Karnite or Kutonium in safe space, that would be sweet as it will save me many hours if I would not have to travel >650KM out and back for these materials. Oh, and I know all about the rewards of Nullsec in EVE, I've been paying my subscriptions...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    I do not disagree that in principle, sure. I do however think your assumption that once this is the case, more players will venture out is not necessarily true. Some will yes, and they will bring these goods to the markets where the players using it will buy it. Those players will not go out to...

    This Game is Missing Something Crucial

    Part of why many crowdfunded games never get finished is not because they are crowdfunded, it's because the crowdfunding puts the development cycle in the spotlight. Also the pressure of expectations from those who put up their money upfront makes development more complex than it has to be in...

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    @joecuster A lot of players join the game because they like to design and build. If they would be forced to leave the safe zone or put their playstyle at risk, they would not even be here. A lot of players also just like to acquire wealth and have no interest in much else. As a sandbox MMO...

    How so @joecuster? I do not see where you'd get that from on this post. Also, what would fix PVP in your opinion?

    Update on upcoming features and some recent discussion topics and events.

    Brief but very solid update. I for one appreciate the priorities FB sets in these matter and believe them to be the right ones for the evolution of the game and your plans on how to get to release. So far FrozenByte by has exceeded my personal expectations for their presence and considerations...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 33 - Capital Ship insight (2021)

    IMO, the idea of a MMO sandbox is that, over time and once the game is feature complete, players create and play out their content. In that context, it is not FB's role to provide content or "things to fight over". I'd expect it is their plan and intent to provide tools and means to introduce...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 33 - Capital Ship insight (2021)

    Thank you @LauriFB for that clarification. For me it does show you guys are on this and have a prettyy solid plan for Capitals. The clear signals that this is both a first iteration of a massive mechanic and you will not hesitate to go in any applicable direction to make it work is good to hear...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 33 - Capital Ship insight (2021)

    @Vanidar I have no intention to get personal, unlike some others here, and if perceived so I do apologize for that. None of this is addressed to you as a person, it is addressed to you as a group who are feeding of their echo chamber arguments and yes, some more than others so again, sorry if...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 33 - Capital Ship insight (2021)

    It's amazing to me how several of you are cooking up all these wild unsubstantiated assumptions and joining in some sort of feedback loop without ever even trying to consider you may be vastly overthinking this. Also, it appears any suggestion to the contrary is either spun to suit your own...

    What seperates Star Base from other PVE games?

    What PVE features? Mining and building I would not consider PVE features, they are "just" game mechanics. That there is no immediate focus on PVP right now and for the remainder of the year (according to the roadmap) really makes sense as several underlying mechanics (like the radiation one)...
