    Why Do I Post My Starbase Videos to Youtube Alternatives?

    The simple answer: is that its free to me, gives my viewers choice (all five or six of them), and has the potential to earn me money much sooner than Youtube. The long answer: I enjoy experimenting and learning new things, as many of you who would want to play a game like Starbase would...

    ByteSized Tutorials

    After the success of that last "Boom" video, I've been feeling inspired to make more videos. P.S. I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard that doesn't hog all the audio. Enjoy this brief introduction to the auction house.

    To the people that got CA and those that haven't

    I'm in closed alpha. I expected: To be able to patch up and build ships with free-form tools. ✅ To be able to buy a junk ship for cheap and fix it up. ❎ A vast universe to explore. ✅ Frequent player interactions in-game. ❎ An amazing damage model. ✅ For the ❎ ones. I think both of these will...

    Docking Tech

    You are very right, some sort of docking mechanism is necessary. I like this idea best personally. I think that some sort of sticky contact device would mean all the difference. As far as network sharing, network relays would work wonderfully here. I could imagine standards being created for...

    Notification About Upcoming Patch: Major balance update on thruster resource consumption and rail cannon power usage

    I think that in the context of the current ships all small compared to the future scale, this makes sense. I'm going to wait and see how this actually pans out.

    Testing out the videos at this point of the game was not a good idea:

    CTA EVENT - Capture The Asteroid [Suggestion]

    I think this could be a fun game for someone to set up. Potentially the owner of the game station could charge a fee to offset station and ship upkeep costs as well as to add to a prize pool (the asteroid alone wouldn't be worth much unless it was of a rare ore or too big to easily move). The...

    Update 4.2.2021 (Alpha 344)

    I'm enjoying the new thruster sounds. They are pretty sweet.

    The Future Of Transponders

    Perhaps companies could choose which level members could stamp transponders with their company tag. Otherwise, the value of transponders may go down as spies and greedy players might sell off many transponders and dilute the market.

    The Future Of Transponders

    For me, I like the idea of being able to steal transponders to infiltrate into enemy territory. I don't think that they should be mandatory, but instead just a tool for organizing, rescue, navigation, and security. Calenloki has talked about other ways of identifying ships that cannot be so...

    The Future Of Transponders

    Nope, you can (for the time being) fly without one, or with it off. I don't know that there is a down-side yet. Eventually it might look suspicious if you're flying around in someone's territory without one.

    collision resistance?

    There already is this attribute for different materials. "Structural durability" sounds a lot like what you're suggesting. For example, beams are normally made of bastium with a structural durability of 80. You could make those beams out of ajitite (structural durability of 20) but it may take...

    The Future Of Transponders

    Potentially an enemy status could be given to other companies so that that their transponders show up as a different color. More generally maybe companies could select what color other companies appear to them as.

    Do headshots matter?

    No, not yet. You can make a box and push it around while inside of it, but no bolting to players yet. :(

    The Woe of the Renegades/ Are the Villains of the Free-Space at risk?

    I'm not sure that summary is fair, I didn't find it "terrible" like you say it is. He's not suggesting that the community thinks pirates are bad, just that there is way more incentive to join a stable group doing commerce related activities.

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 3 (2021)

    I was excited by this for a moment too. I feel like it might just be another term for endo since they're meant to be remotely operated.
