    Starbase's Top Issues #3: Developer Intervention

    Agreed. I suspect that this policy was a hold over from the closed alpha days, when player numbers were small and many of those involved were hand picked, mixed with some panic on launch at all the bugs. Panic is never a good policy maker.

    Starbase's Top Issues #1: Cannot Begin From Nothing

    An alternative could be to add a small inventory to the crafting bench itself, or the ability for it to pull ores from nearby blocks so that you can just place the ores around the crafting bench and then use those within a small area of effect. Additionally, maybe some "Junk Tier" parts could...

    Starbase's Top Issues #9: The Death of a Dream - The SSC

    While I mostly agree that many problems stem from the gameloop provided by the SSC, I am unsure whether the SSC is the part of that loop that needs to be removed. What I mean is that, as you have pointed out, the SSC has three abilities: design, build, and repair. If the design part was kept as...

    XenoCow's Starbase Videos

    Oh, thanks for the catch. I have one rerun I can do (I think you only get a maximum of three free ships). Maybe I can walk through that and make it into a video of its own. Thank you very much. I figured that since things seem to be looking up for Starbase that now would be a good time to get...

    Weapon and Armor Changes: How ships of all sizes can be effective and players given more choice

    That part about the lasers going through glass was not too major of an idea, more of a tangent thought to differentiate the weapon. I think it's an interesting concept, but we can't make glass so strong that it is better than normal armor, but also want to make the massive blocks of glass with...

    Weapon and Armor Changes: How ships of all sizes can be effective and players given more choice

    Disclaimers I am not super familiar with the exact damage and armor system and what hardware limitations it aims to address, so please feel free to correct me where I am wrong. Also, if you are reading this near when it was first posted, the current future of development is unclear and may not...

    Is the game still being worked on? If so, could you post an update on whats to come?

    It's on the back burner, but there was a patch today!

    Logical invertor

    I'm sure such a thing would be possible, if we were giving a Turing-complete set of logic devices.

    Logical invertor

    I'm just now imagining little logic chips that fit into a board like the button panels do already so that we can make our own devices. That would be fun... But a simple inverter is a plenty good start. Even for simple things like two lights that turn on alternatively.

    Don't disallow storing ore in ships

    Why not make storing ore have a power cost like how the crates worked in their original introduction video? That way people will have to maintain them and not just sit on fat hoards of ore. I do suspect (haven't read the reddit post) that some of the reason for wanting to limit players from...

    I made a frog game while I can't play Starbase!

    Ha ha. Thanks. I only had a low power laptop at that time, so I couldn't play really any games except for simple 2D games like this one.

    Been away a while.. how is it now?

    I get the feeling that this game is kind of a pie-in-the-sky dream game for Frozenbyte. Assuming they have some amount of fortitude or will power, they will get back to this game once they can keep the lights on. I heard from this video that their investors pulled out, perhaps because of a mix...

    Plz add FAST INFANTRY GAMEPLAY

    Or even to disable it during sieges since that is the only part of the game that will be competitive (plus the only time where there will be much infantry combat).
