    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 50 (2020)

    I like the new concept asteroids. They look like they allow rarer minerals to be harder to extract from the base asteroid, rather than being all like big hard boiled eggs. Also, I like that the different ores could be spotted from further away.

    Update 10.12.2020 (Alpha 312)

    Does this mean that the SSC is safe to use again?

    Recently 3D printers were added that can convert ore to parts used to build stations. The player fills ore crates, and the 3D printer, mounted on a station, can then print new parts to fill in the station blueprint. Different ores do have different qualities. For example, Bastium is very good...

    Griefing and social engineering policies

    I think that compared to the entire ring around Eos, the safe zones are very small. The intention is that any players who want to experience danger will probably be playing mostly outside the permanent safe zones and storing their things at faction stations far from origin. The initial safe zone...

    Clarification about dev faction blueprint sharing (don't do it)

    Why do you think that? In any case, don't you think that having a game-wide policy to not spread the blueprints of your faction, regardless of dev status, should exist? If factions wish to allow their former or current members spread blueprints, that's their prerogative, but the problem of...

    If you know where your ship was, there are tons of people with large hauling ships ready to go and bring your ship back, probably for a price, though.

    Clarification about dev faction blueprint sharing (don't do it)

    Why not have the dyes for the faction specific colors only exist around the faction main bases?

    How can i delete ship from my list of possessions?

    Abandoning ships is a feature that is on its way.

    Clarification about dev faction blueprint sharing (don't do it)

    I'd like to point the developers in the direction of my suggestion post about one-time-use blueprints. I think that this would help to prevent the spread of blueprints even if they are leaked by members since they would have a finite number of times they could be spread.

    Economy the current state and how to do it better

    That's much more polite. Thanks. Just counter argument, bam. Also, I haven't been selling anything I mine at all, just saving it so that I can get my ship built. Even then, I will probably leave some things off the ship when I buy it from the SSC so I can just use credits to buy them from the...

    Economy the current state and how to do it better

    Hey, your counter argument is good and valid, but you don't need to bash on TGess' argument to make that point.

    Starbase Community Hypevan Send-Off

    I could have kept my Hypevan then? I thought they were all going to go POOF on the 23rd. 😅

    What are the advantages of YOLOL over the existing langs?

    Yeah, I see that too, there is some of that verbosity, particularly in the if-then-else-end statements. However, at least in this case, I think it is to make the language more accessible. For more experienced programmers, there are often more dense ways around the verbose statements using...

    What are the advantages of YOLOL over the existing langs?

    Here are a few reasons I can think of: YOLOL's syntax for addressing device fields is clear and short ( :fire1=1 rather than device.weapon1.fire(1)) YOLOL is intended to be written in-game to match with the "physical" theme of the rest of the game The main reason is probably accessibility to...

    YOLOL looks fantastic.

    I'm excited you're excited about YOLOL! I'm not the best programmer myself, but I have been surprised to find that I am getting to use digital circuits and control theories to help me manage the systems on my ships. Lots of finite state machines and constant controllers. :P

    Online ship buying terminal

    This would be a problem if EA were to release today. However, the devs have said that the current method for having player ships put in the ship shops by devs is temporary. Once we get station building (or potentially sooner Interior Design coming soon), players will be able to build their own...

    Starbase Progress Notes: Week 46 (2020)

    I hope that these turrets also could be attached to ships so that we can have endos hanging off the sides of a ship with them.
