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

    Why? Most of the "against" is based on assumed function, purpose, or impact. And yes, the same can be said about many of the "for" arguments. So maybe it would be good to just let this first iteration happen, see where it is and where it goes as I am pretty sure that is exactly what FB intends...

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

    I'm not sure what is being removed or what you think is being removed, but in Alpha stage game development it is not uncommon, actually even likely, that what seem to be important things get removed, replaced or completely reworked for any number of reasons. While SB may be a live game, it is...

    What seperates Star Base from other PVE games?

    I'd agree that SB actually has no planned PVE gameplay at all. I would not qualify mining nor building as such. I do agree with the notion that any judgement on what SB can/could/will or should be or become is at best premature seeing it is in early alpha with a fairly limited number of...

    EA Update 26.8.2021 (Early Access Build 572)

    Patch looks solid.. thanks FB! The last progress report would indicate that caps and moons are not quite ready for the big update/addition of bases/ming and the capitals themselves. Not surprising as FB will have seen some delays as the game went live for obvious reasons and I can't really be...

    PVE is already failing...

    If you get stuck with towing due to a crash, a support ticket will see that refunded generally. SO no need fo the first Login bonuses on a B2P game make no sense to begine with.. It's a marketing tool to stimulate subscriptions Free ships why? if you are unable to design your own, join a...

    Moon bases

    It will be interesting to see how FB makes that happen as capitals can't come to the surface afaik. I could see moon base sieges be more EVE style with an activation timer of sorts.. will be interesting to learn about.. I'd expect that offline raiding will not be a thing.

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

    It's clear nothing will change your perception on this, no matter how sensible the argument and that's fine. As anyone else, you're entitled to your opinion. Time will tell whether you are right or not and if you are, I'm sure FB will make the adjustments needed to make these work in due course.

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

    AFAIK, that is not correct as: As far as we know, the CCap can't move at a moment's notice. It would make more sense to me to have a defense fleet available on board to fend of attackers as jumping would be costly and require time to charge/prepare. We have limited information, but know that a...

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

    @scions The argument that the universe of SB is too big to locate these CCaps may be valid now, but I would expect the devs will have anticipated that once the game releases, the player base will such that this is less the case and the chance of an encounter gets bigger. Right now, player...

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

    @Vanidar There is some points you raise that I can see as fair enough to consider, even when for me, at this point in time, they are premature and based on what you _think_ will or may happen. I just do not have that negative outlook on these units and choose to wait and see. That's probably...

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

    So I guess you also feel it's bad stations have safe zones? I mean, Capitals as FB designed them are for all intents and purposes, stations that can move. Yes, you can't attack them but at the same time the Cap owner can't achieve or engage in any activity unless they undock. And you continue to...

    PVE is already failing...

    Amen to that. It's just funny how for some, that POV implies you are not accepting their option to do exactly that, even when they are the ones with the rigid and one sided ideas about "what a game should be like and devs should focus on". I just see a lot of poeple here talk to mirrors instead...

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

    And you're not theory crafting? What is coming in a few days is a first iteration of a new game mechanic, it will be incomplete, rough and have several issues, some likely serious. It will take quite some time for the Capitals (man, I do dislike the name for these) to get to a good place. It...

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

    I have no reason to not accept you are not, I just wonder why you would take offense to that if so, unless you would consider that sentiment/opinion to not be valid at all and/or actually want to do exactly what you say you'd appreciate others don't; deny their right to voice their opinion and...

    Any indication on alliances ?

    I've been trying to find some information on whether it will be possible to form alliances between companies. I kind of hope this will come in the cpmpany related update next month but if there is any information out there on this, I'd like to know about it.

    Probably right @C8H10N4O2 .. But at the same time I somehow suspect many in this "discussion" have no "early EVE " experience, if at all, if you catch my drift. ;)

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

    There is right and wrong here. Yes I'd agree that shooting up an unarmed mining ship is pretty pointless but from comments all over that is what many seem to think the game is all about.. shooting stuff. And that is to be expected, the low cost of entry to the game also really does not help in...

    The Need For Pvp in current state of the game.

    All I know foundations have safezones, when asking about moonbases I got a snarky condescending response about not having been here long and the wuestion about how I did not see the sieges video. The only video I know about sieges is for stations and it clearly mentions safeezones. The PTU...

    The Need For Pvp in current state of the game.

    Skipping the patronizing tone for a moment, if there is a different video on base sieges then I must have missed that as I only know the station siege one. The video I think you refer to actualy mentions moon refineries are inside safe zones and so would be secure anyway. I would think that...
